I like this Legal Eagle guy.

I'm not particularly fond of youtube lawyers,
or lawyers in general, but I love to see Alex Jones getting some comeuppance.
That whole trial is fun to watch, seeing the infowars staff squirm and blush their way through all the terrible things they've done. What sort of cunt would do this kind of work? Profiting from a mental illness that you help to inflict on people. Fuck the lot of them, I wish there was a hell for them to go to.

The legal eagle guy claims to be a seasoned litigator, yet is astonished that a liar is exposed under cross examination.
TBH I’m astonished this nasty loony gets any attention whatsoever outside the US. It’s like the West Boro Baptist Church. A vile, hateful, attention seeking group to be sure, but its membership, even at its peak, was less than a hundred. Say what you like about their PR, but you can’t deny you know who this minuscule band of bigots is, and what their message of hate is, which is all they ever wanted.

He's astonished at how incompetently the guy is exposed during the court process -
It takes a special level of stupid to get caught that badly.

I guess. He obviously has a very bad legal team.
As far as I remember, no way am I bothering to check, his defamatory remarks were that it was a hoax or did not happen. I mean, I’m glad he’s getting his comeuppance and all that, but if we can successfully sue idiots for spouting utter bullshit, where’s that going to leave the religionists?

They get a special pass, because they have power over so many.
Nobody wants to open that particular Pandora's box.

I think they get a special pass because their claims can't be proven or disproven either way.

There is that but, they also get away with all sorts of abuse that has abundant proof available.

The reason it mattered was that he didn't just say it was a hoax and didn't happen
but specifically said that the bereaved families were 'crisis actors' - people paid by Them to pretend to be mourning the tragic loss of their children in order to make the hoax believable. This led to the families receiving massive amounts of online (and IRL) harassment for years, taunting them about the 'supposed' murder of their children etc.

Most people whose entire defence is based on lies would be advised by their lawyers to settle out of court. It should never have got to the stage where the lies are exposed in court because it's obvious they would be.

there's a touch of the bigfoot conspiracy about it all, where even after the bloke admitted in a newspaper expose that he staged the whole thing with a fake big foot to leave prints, people kept believing in it
or www.bbc.com/future/article/20170809-the-accidental-invention-of-the-illuminati-conspiracy
Jones admitted under oath a few years early during a bitter divorce proceeding that his entire persona was an invention and he didn't believe any of the things he claimed. but instead of that being the end of him, people kept listening and believing his bullshit and his followers grew in number, because the kinds of people who believed it already are demonstrably very poor at determining what credibility to give information, including reliable evidence that they've been fed bullshit for years

Similar to the loch Ness monster
Chap who took the original photo admitted late in life and explained how it was a toy submarine modded with plasticine. None of the Nessie hunters believe him. Likewise the Wessex sceptics who made those crop circles. The more stupid and ridiculous the "woo" explanation, the less likely the enthusiasts are to change their minds when the hoax is admitted.

Just keep lying and lying and lying until you do, eventually, get caught out
See also Trump, Johnson etc.

As an idiot supporter of one or all of these,
I will choose to believe anything reported that's in their favour, but anything critical of them is fake news and a libtard elite snowflake conspiracy to hide the truth and take away our constitutional right to enjoy school shootings.
