Alex Jones Sobs As Sandy Hook Families Ask Judge To Liquidate Media Company

“These people hate our children,” the conspiracy theorist, who falsely claimed the 2012 school shooting that killed 20 children was all a hoax, cried on his InfoWars show.

Relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are asking a bankruptcy judge to liquidate conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ media company, including Infowars, instead of allowing him to reorganize his business as they seek to collect on $1.5 billion in lawsuit verdicts against him.

Lawyers for the families filed an emergency motion Sunday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston, saying Free Speech Systems has “no prospect” of getting a reorganization plan approved by the court and has “failed to demonstrate any hope of beginning to satisfy” their legal claims, which relate to Jones calling the 2012 school shooting a hoax.

A hearing in Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case was scheduled for Monday related to a dispute over the company’s finances.
Jones went on his web and radio show over the weekend saying there was a conspiracy against him and he expected Infowars to be shut down in a month or two because of the families’ bankruptcy court filings. The comments included profanity-laden rants, and Jones appeared to cry at points.

There’s a conspiracy around every one of their corners. Freedom Speech Systems. Designed to separate the rubes from their dollars and cents “for a good and patriotic cause.”

That guy deserves debtors’ prison or a work house. His debts should never be forgiven. Nor should he.

He disgusts me.

I think they both play out of the same bag of tricks.

Seems to work for them.

Insulting and harassing the families of murdered children in order to keep your precious guns was an incredibly stupid game to play, and you lost. Eat shit, Alex.

24 hour driving ranges. Give him a helmet and a foam jacket and give him a quota of balls to pick up. I know what I'd be aiming for with my 2 wood! "Hey, is Asshole at work today? "Yeah." "Okay, gimme three buckets. You know what, it's a nice day, gimme four." I hand over Twenties. "You guys had better not fire him, he's the reason I drive here." Grabs buckets and club, walks over to range.

Alex's right. He won't even look at Alex! In fact, looking in opposite direction. Even his buddies know what a liar he is.

For me, his deeds are as close as it gets to meriting the death penalty for a non-violent crime. And yes, I know how you feel. And I don’t give a crap.
