Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist who hosts the right-wing commentary website Infowars, was found legally responsible in two lawsuits for damages caused by his claims surrounding the 2012 Sandy Hook school mass shooting, according to court documents released Thursday.

 

 

Jones falsely claimed that the December 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, was a "giant hoax" carried out by crisis actors on behalf of people who oppose the Second Amendment.

 

The shooter killed 26 people at the school -- 20 of whom were young children -- before killing himself.

 

In these days of massive DIS- information, it's good to see that eventually some have to pay (IF their misinformation is substantial enough to cause real harm). This person is at the TOP of the list of misinformation spreading.
