Sandy Hook families asked a Connecticut judge to order Alex Jones to pay $2.75 trillion in damages in addition to the almost $1 billion a jury awarded for defamation, claiming only “the highest possible punitive damages,” will stop the Infowars host from continuing to harm them.

The families said they’re entitled to the amount because Jones broke a state law barring the sale of products using false statements. They reached the sum by multiplying the state law’s $5,000 per-violation fine by the 550 million social media exposures Jones’s audience received on his Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts in the three years following a school shooting that claimed the lives of 20 first graders and six educators in 2012.

That sounds like a crazy amount but they’ll probably end up settling for $2.25 Trillion.

So the families sounds like money grubbing whores at this point (if this is true). That’s just a stupid number.

The tobacco master settlement agreement in 1998 was 10% of what the Sandy Hook families are asking for. This is absolutely insane, considering Jones's actions never killed anyone.

These families are insane. 2.75 trillion is more than Canada’s economy.

The usual suspects on this forum have no problem with it because they dislike Jones's politics. One just need read the thread the other week for further proof.

Nothing says “quiet dignity” like insanely stupid plaintiff demands.

This is so insane in fact that I’m actually inclined to think maybe Jones was on to something’s.

Pretty easy case when the other guy gets defaulted for refusing to abide by orders of the Court

But as a former law-breaking miscreant yourself, it doesn’t surprise me you side with the chaos agent thumbing his nose at the legal system.
