A Connecticut judge could impose penalties on InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Tuesday, after Jones aired a show where he punched a picture of an attorney representing Sandy Hook families and called the lawyer a “pimp.”

In a motion filed Monday in Connecticut, attorneys for the Sandy Hook families asked the court to review Friday’s episode of InfoWars. In that show, Jones raged at attorney Chris Mattei, who’s representing Sandy Hook families suing Jones for saying the 2012 elementary school massacre never happened.

While sitting next to his own attorney, Norm Pattis, Jones accused Mattei without evidence of planting child porn on InfoWars’s servers.

“Total war!” Jones said. “You want it, you got it! I’m not into kids like your Democratic Party, you cocksuckers! So get ready!”

1. Jones is in big time

trouble. He sent child porn to the Sandy Hook lawyers. They were in email attachments of the electronic files he was subpoenaed to turn over.

How Jones came into possession of them is for the FBI to decide. It seems possible that someone emailed them to him and he never opened the email before turning it over. I would not be surprised if he sent them himself to discredit the lawyers.

7. He's screwed himself..he's more stupid than I thought.

11. The Sandy hook lawyers

immediately turned it over to the FBI.

[LiberalLovinLug]

15. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was HIS child porn

Which he had buried in his other files and thought he had deleted it all...or saved it to another device. It does fit the MO of Republicans when they are caught, blaming the other side for it.

19. Yeah, I think he sent it to himself.

He's buddies with Roger Stone, who is a master at misdirection. He also thinks his fans will stand up for him if they believe someone is framing him. Jones is a lot like Trump; he creates a mess and then claims to be a victim and blames his accusers for what he has done. I sure hope people are getting wise to it now; they do it over and over again.

2. He sounds like he is suffering from some sort of mental breakdown. n/t

[TexasTowelie]

3. I lived in Austin when Alex Jones first appeared on Public Access television.

His mental breakdown has lasted for more than two decades which suggests that there wasn't anything there mentally to breakdown in the beginning.

21. When I first saw him, I thought he was a terrible comedian. Do you remember the woman ...

who did the music videos?

[infinite_wisdom]

18. You mean he sounds like he always does

He should have been institutionalized a long time ago.

12. Shut this criminal nut case down!

13. Keep digging Alex.....

What's that old saying?.... When your opponent is destroying himself.....let him.

[jmowreader]

14. Sorry folks, I just have to

[GulfCoast66]

16. I'd feel sorry for him if he hadn't because a beacon for the rightwing

This guy is going to end up it prison or dead. He’s not right. Or rather, he is too far right.

17. His freak-out about this child porn story reminds me of that time he got caught with gay porn...

on his smart phone during his TV show...

A while back, maybe a year or so, during some rant he flashed his smart phone screen at the camera and some enterprising person slowed down the video and zoomed in on his smart phone screen and the open browser tabs were visible, one of which was gay porn. So of course various online/leftish/newish/pundit types took the mickey something serious and he absolutely freaked out and took time on his show to address the issue with an insane rant soon thereafter, claiming everyone knows you constantly get random gay porn popups and malware on your phone... *instead of just claiming the freeze-frame zoom-in was fake/doctored* (which it is not, but still is more believable than "you all get random gay porn on your smart phone, right?".....)

20. No no alex...

Only cheetox can do 'open mike on air insane, ' and get away with it...

23. Locking after a review by Forum Hosts

The continuing and ongoing lunacy/stupidity of Alex Jones is not important news of national interest.
