Alex Jones is the biggest conspiracy monger in America. He called the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a “fake”. Now he has to pay a fine of 49 million dollars. But he keeps rushing.
Mconspiracy theorist Alex Jones has to pay Jesse Lewis’ parents more than $49 million. The boy died in December 2012 at the age of six in the Sandy Hook school massacre in a hail of bullets from gunman Adam Lanza, along with nineteen other six- and seven-year-olds and seven adults. Jones has repeatedly questioned the massacre on his website Infowars.com, claiming that no children died and that the whole thing was staged to deny Americans their right to guns.
“From my point of view, everything is staged”
Among other things, Jones said the story was “completely fake, with actors, all staged from my point of view.” His statements had spread to numerous platforms on the Internet. The parents of the murdered children have since been subjected to stalking and death threats. Neil Heslin, Jesse’s father, said in a courtroom in Austin, Texas, that he could not describe how much Alex Jones had given him and the other parents of the murdered children “hell on earth” over the past nine and a half years. “Jesse was real,” said Jesse’s mother, Scarlett Lewis. She looked Jones straight in the face.
