Default The tears you see on my face is crocodile tears

Who would cry tears on this guy Alex Jones. If any tears it would be crocodile tears.

I have nothing against people who believe in conspiracy-What I'm against is when they hurt people like Alex did.

Yeah, and in preparation he has already declared his company bankrupt, and another company (also in his possession) has taken over.


And of course he hasn't learned anything, now it's the deep state that wants to silence him.
Amazingly enough there are still more than enough idiots around who believe him.

A Danish newspaper had an issue about this on their FB-wall and someone wrote in the comment.

This court have killed free speech. My reaction when I read it

It had nothing to do with free speech what Alex said in all his program about this school shooting.

What could be said about Alex and free speech is that he violated it.

Free speech comes with responsibility

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your speech.

True, but me thinks this verdict skates pretty close to the edge of that "slippery slope".
