Really? If true, that's pretty insane. Where, if anywhere, is the story or proof of this? It's a pretty serious allegation to make without proof, so there's no way I can believe this in good conscience without some sort of evidence.
I don't follow AJ or any of his affiliated sites, I only know what I've seen from his show and online videos, mostly posted to forums such as this. I've always thought he was a kook with the wrong idea and possibly just a good conscience. If what you're saying is true, it's pretty sickening.
The bad blood between Sotelo and Jones goes back about four years, to a fight that occurred in the ACAC parking lot. Jones' detractors cite the incident as an example of his inability to tell the truth. There are two different versions of the incident -- Jones claims that a group of four thugs, one wielding a knife, accosted him outside the studios and physically attacked him because of his beliefs. Sotelo and others tell another story, saying that Jones challenged a man who was ridiculing him, whom witnesses will only identify as "Steve" or "Mystery S." They claim that Steve accepted Jones' invitation to fight, and then thrashed Jones handily. The account, as related by ACAC producer Max Kane, can be read on a Web page maintained by another producer, Shelly Thumbleson (www.synaesthetic.com/jarhead.html). According to Sotelo and the Web page account, after "Steve" left, Jones told police he had been attacked with a knife. Sotelo refuted this, and says that Jones then spit blood on him in retaliation, for which Sotelo allegedly punched Jones. Jones describes it differently: "The police showed up. They started listening to these people's propaganda. The other people fled. They went and watched the [security] tape, and then they went and wrote the report and then the investigation was pursued on the attackers." Jones said the investigation was never resolved. Both sides claim that security videos at ACAC support their version of the fight, but ACAC said the tape is no longer available. In addition to creating tension between Sotelo and Jones, Thumbleson's Web site alleges the fight exacerbated a feud between Jones and "Steve's" friend, Clayton Counts. Counts is notorious, for lack of a better word, for making prank calls to ACAC call-in shows, especially Jones' show. Counts, who still maintains an Internet account on the server of the now-defunct bookstore Fringeware, said he suspects that Jones then called in the FBI and made bogus claims that Counts was a terrorist and possessed child pornography and got the bureau to raid Fringeware to get Counts' address. According to the Web page, the bureau later dropped the investigation.

Hi mods, Please feel free to move if not in the appropriate forum, thanks
I have just finished watching the debate between Morgan and Alex. I am interested to know who you think won the debate. I think Alex went in very hot headed, CNN new he would do this and they tried to give him enough rope to hang himself. I think this approach backfired.
Alex was certainly hot headed but he managed to get fast and furious in. I think he could have done much better had he relaxed and took things a bit more calmly, but I suppose thats just not his way
I give Alex my full respect for his beliefs, its irrelevant if he is a loud mouth, he definately has the moral High ground, sometimes it takes a Very loud mouth to force people to listen. This for me was a win for Infowars, well done guys

Alex is very passionate, and it comes out. Lots of people mistake being passionate for being "unstable", when in fact, Alex was in command of the facts and passionately called it the way it is.
Since Piers Morgan espoused nothing but lies, Alex Jones won the debate. Truth trumps lies.edit on 9-1-2013 by JuniorBeauchamp because: mispelling

they will be making the initial agression then. if they decide to go into peoples homes and take their guns that they worked hard to get at a gun show, then castle doctrine.
The government is not after guns, it is after pride. They are not oulawing ownership of assult weapons only of sale and transfer and requiring all existing assault weapons to be registered.
