Excellent. May the bastard be left in fucking penury after the hell he's put those people through.
OggggO · 36-40, M
@Grateful4you True, but they'll make anyone considering something similar in the future think twice about if it's worth the risk.
@OggggO A true observation I guess.

@Grateful4you True but it is a start.
justanothername · 51-55, M
The right decision and a good outcome.

So this means Jones will be working the rest of his life to pay them off I hope..😷
@redredred If the hard core people who really believe him want to impoverish themselves, so be it, I guess. As they divide their small nest eggs between AJ, DJT, Proud Boys, those convicted in the 6 Jan trials, etc., I guess they'll need welfare...

Hmmmm...seems we need a law making it clear that, for criminal judgments, the guilty person(s) must come up with the money without contributions.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@SomeMichGuy But the very nature of modern Republicanism is to get other people to pay.....If morons want to send themselves broke contributing to a political cause, or a church, I regard than as their sacred right and freedom. But I dont think they should be able to claim it on their tax.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman lol Good point (but giving to someone's legal judgments can't be a charitable deduction...no non-profit corp.).

He's not even in the ballpark of that kind of money. I sort of don't get putting him on the hook for something that can't be paid. Unless the goal is that every dollar that comes in (to his bankrupt company) goes right back out again.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Ynotisay Well, yeah. I thought that was obvious. He's still making money on his bullshit podcasts, or whatever he's doing now, and as far as I'm concerned, none of it is deserved.
Northwest · M
And there is no cap. This piece of shit needs to pay for the rest of his life.

I only wish they could find a way to punish the creeps who listened to Jones and helped make life even more miserable for the families.
I keep remembering all those right wingers that were conned by Jones.

Suckers,
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Ryderbike They don't care about that or think much. They need to be abused. They like it.

If I hadn't suddenly grown morals, I was planning to con and grift them myself as a side gig.

They are usually shit people anyway, but I decided that it just wasn't a good look with the Man Upstairs.
Given the times… gazes into crystal ball…

This will be cast as a set up. Jones’ free speech is being infringed upon. It’s a 1st amendment issue. It will merge with Q somehow. Jones knew about them, you know, them, over there. It will merge with Trump, the stolen election.

And Jones will raise money while he lives comfortably. His cred will increase in his realm.
justanothername · 51-55, M
@CopperCicada Unfortunately that’s his the right wing like to twist outcomes to work in their favour.
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
He will not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Good!!
gol979 · 41-45, M
Dangerous precedent has been set. Agent Jones playing along too.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@gol979 It's like you're meta-conspiratorial. Fascinating.

Can I have a scan of your brain stem?

👽
gol979 · 41-45, M
@GeistInTheMachine you were correct in your last message, "a complete waste of time" and ironic calling me "jonestown" when you have fallen for the play. Wont be long until you will be demanding normal ppl suffer economic sanctions for telling lies.....and of course you will determine what a lie is
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@gol979 Well, that sounds like fun to me. What's wrong with that?

So, are you donating your brain to science? Can I buy it off you? Ya don't need it anyway, bro. Let's get real.

I'll give you 50 bucks for it.
Gee, COULDN'T happen to a WORSE mf'er.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
Good. I was raised in CT. I hate Jonestown and his ilk.
spjennifer · 61-69, T
Sadly, I doubt these people will see much of the monies awarded but whatever they do get out of the bastard is money he won't have to spend harassing them, who knows, maybe we'll all get lucky and he'll commit suicide 🥴
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@spjennifer Or, you know, "suicide"...
justanothername · 51-55, M
Don’t be surprised when he puts the call out to his patriot fan base for “donations” for his Billion dollar fine rather than pay it out of his own money.
@justanothername Hey, if Jones' fan base wants to enrich the families of Sandy Hook, I'm all for it!
justanothername · 51-55, M
@ElwoodBlues I hope his contribution to them helps a lot :)
pedrohedgerow · 61-69, M
Jeez,if there was any truth and justice in this world I would be far richer than any of them,truth.
Still, he learned nothing. And has bragging rights. Sicko.
redredred · M
Good. He can spout any nonsense he likes but doxing the families of the murder victims and encouraging people to harass them is lower than low.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@redredred No, he's full of shit about vaccines, too.
Wiseacre · F
@redredred indeed..the guy should be shot dead..what vileness
Vin53 · M
trump was the only exception

@redredred
Mysterion619 · 26-30, M
I'm surprised he hasn't been done in
olderuncle944 · 70-79, M
i bet there will be an appeal
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@olderuncle944 Let him appeal. I want to see him pay out more. The POS.
olderuncle944 · 70-79, M
@GeistInTheMachine im sure he will lose but will the judge be enough for him to pay or will he just declare bankruptcy if he is a corporation there might be hard bankrupting him personalty ether way he loses a lot i only hope the families get paid
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Hope he goes broke.

@Darksideinthenight2 he’s worth far more than 5 million.

Between 150 million and 270 million,

@Darksideinthenight2 that’s not the issue. The issue is to end his career of slime,
