In reply to the discussion: Jury finds Alex Jones caused $4 million in damages to two Sandy Hook parents [View all]Kablooie
(18,634 posts)52. I bet Jones will refuse to pay it.
He's already trying to get out of it by declaring bankruptcy.
I won't be surprised if he'll delay and delay so the families will have to hire someone to collect, and he'll find a way to squirm out of that.
These dirtbag conservatives seem to be experts at ignoring the law, and getting away with it, time and time again.
I hope the punitive damages are huge.
That will be the government going after him and will be more difficult to escape.
