This entire saga has been so frustrating to watch unfold. Portions of the judiciary seem absolutely hellbent on denying court ordered financial restitution to the families. It’s not like Alex Jones has even put forward sound legal arguments. My tinfoil hat theory on this is the judges putting up roadblocks are doing it not because of alex jones or free speech, but because it has a connection to guns. They don’t want something even tangentially related to guns to get a win.

So the families of Sandy Hook can’t get paid because of reasons??

Because you can't get justice without having power.

Why can’t we have cool things once in a while ?

I just typed up a funny comedic reply. Then I read it back, and it came off wayyyyy too aggressive. It came off like I was just being an asshole for no reason. So I deleted it, and tried to workshop it. I wanted something that I could say mean spirited things, in a joking way, but it came off waaaaay more mean than it should have been.

So instead, imagine I sent a reply, where I was mean, but you could tell I was joking about the fact that we can't have nice things because we're all plebs, and not the billionaire ruling class. And then we'd laugh while giving them the finger.

Ok, all caught up? Cool. Back to work, dickhead!

AJ won't give up. Ever. This - not just the site but the narrative he developed around the trial and the attention he gets for it - is his livelihood, he needs to keep it up no matter how ridiculous, petty and pointless.

I hear it's only a small, partial win anyhow.

No matter for AJ: one more time he's getting media attention.

Given this all happening in Texas, I'm not surprised.

Two places you don't accept holding court: London and Texas.
