Sandy Hook parents sue radio host Alex Jones for defamation

a reply to: Coup_Detat_Cam

Of course it's BS. Firstly, when I see Fox news I automatically think it's BS.

First up, the news mix-up where it was reported that the Principal of Sandy Hook Elementary school was slain in the bombing. But wait! She was already killed in the Sandy Hook shootings! Obviously this is just sloppy/lazy government work right? There is no way that anyone in the public would realize that a woman cannot die twice, right? This is just the government trying to juice this event for the maximum amount of public sympathy, right? No. The photo was displayed during an interview with someone named Donna. But the interview wasn’t with the principal that was shot at Sandy Hook. She did not rise from the dead to run the Boston Marathon. And she also was not killed in the bombing. Sadly, the actions of the incompetent news media do not equate to actualized conspiracies. Just blame the Fox News School of News and Reporting.

Both photos are of Dawn Hochsprung, the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary who was killed in that shooting. These photos were obviously taken at the same time, though the photo on the right has been skewed. Notice the picture frame – and the small name plate on the frame – in relation to the woman’s head.

Below we have produced an overlay of the image being circulated with the original photo of Dawn Hochsprung. We were able to skew the image to match the one on the right.

NEWS CAPTION
The news caption reads, “Donna was a few blocks away when bombs exploded.” Thus, even the news caption does not state that the woman in the picture was killed, as some versions of the shared photo claims.

Also note that the two news captions have the same font, and similar borders (the blue caption has lines at the top and bottom, while the red caption has a similar line at the bottom). The news sources are also not identified. This has led some to believe it was merely faked. Were it to show CNN or FoxNews, for example, this erroneous news report would be easy to verify. It is possible that the right-hand picture has the word “FOX” in blue, though this is not the logo used by the national FoxNews channel.

DONNA BRUCE?
A runner named Donna Bruce from Madison was interviewed by several news outlets that day, and it has been suggested that the photo on the right may include a caption during one of these interviews, and that perhaps photos of the Sandy Hook principal were shown for some reason during the interview. This has not been confirmed.

DONNA PAGE?
Another theory claims that the current Sandy Hook principal, Donna Page may have been interviewed after the explosion, while an image of her predecessor was shown. Again, we haven’t found any corroborating source for this.

NO “DONNA” VICTIMS
There were three people killed in the explosion, none of them named Donna.

CORROBORATING EVIDENCE
So far the only evidence of this “mistake” is the sole photo being circulated. Corroborating screen shots or videos have not been produced.

Yep, incompetent news staff/editors(at best), is my guess.

a reply to: gortex I apologize i dont know how that happened- No malice intended.

a reply to: vonclod

At best, or an online troll over at 4chan rocking his photoshop skills.

Here's the Twitter page of the deceased Sandy Hook principal, Dawn Hochsprung. Last tweet was one day before she died.

if i were one of the parents, i would sue alex jones for using my name to make money. i'd sue for my share of his profits.

a reply to: subfab

I'm actually surprised they are going for such a small amount..a million isn't really that much.

Attention Please -

A reminder and a warning.

ALL MEMBERS Please read: Sandy Hook

We have tried to explain and we have been patient, our patience is at its end. This is the only warning you will receive.

Going forward anyone who posts a thread that seeks to implicate the innocent victims of the Sandy Hook Tragedy, for any reason, and/or posts any personal information or links to personal information on those people will have their posting privileges restricted and their thread removed without further discussion or warning.

Discussing the utter mishandling of the breaking story by the MSM is one thing, questions about what happened are fine, but, defaming, libeling, or otherwise exposing innocent people, especially those who are still suffering from this tragedy, to further insult or pain is below the base level of compassion we can tolerate.

Please keep this in mind while discussing this topic.

Do not reply to this message.

No need to bash him and the people who like him just because you’re so dark in the heart and soul that you don’t understand him ...

Actually, it is those who are dark in the heart and soul that rush out to defend such actions of his.

There is a difference between defending his actions and condemning the actions of those who would seek to, or rejoice, in his silencing.

I look forward to Jones defeating these anti 2nd trollz!

Ah... mental illness.

Anyways, Jones better get whats his. He is a disgusting "human" being and people who follow him are a disgrace to humanity.

Prove me wrong. I'll wait.

a reply to: gortex

Isn't one million kind of light?

Maybe 100 million would be better and then we would never have to hear from him again if he loses.

Btw isn't there another lawsuit against him now?

a reply to: Willtell

Perhaps the 1 million amount is meant to be more of a statement?

a reply to: gortex

This is an attack on an opinion and free speech. I don't agree with this lawsuit.

Once again the Left wing thought police are in action. Never question the official narrative. Never consider alternatives to the story being fed by Government.

Let's shut down free thought because free speech is dangerous.

Typical.

a reply to: Willtell

Jones has so many lawsuits against him right now, and sure more to come, that if you got 1 million you'd be lucky but I doubt this is really about the money because if it was they would ask for way more. Because of his big stupid mouth he will put himself out of business.

a reply to: Metallicus

No, it's not an attack on Free Speech because these parents aren't YOUR GOVERMENT. Do you right wingers know what Free Speech actually means because I don't think you do.

This isn't the Left, this is about parents receiving death threats from Jones audience, which is basically Right wingers.

Do you also attack Trump when he goes after media outlets and sues people for hurting his feelings?

a reply to: Swills

I am against most civil litigation.

This is frivolous and an abuse of the legal system.

a reply to: Metallicus

So you think it's totally okay for these parents to still be receiving death threats because of Jones and of course, online trolls who agree with him. Problem with holding online trolls accountable, they're mostly anonymous (unless they're stupid enough to use their real Facebook profile).

Either way, no matter how this lawsuit ends I'm sure Jones will still be able to say anything he wants.

I like to believe that Mr. Jones must have some honestly redeeming qualities somewhere- but when this happened.... the way he reacted, the things he said and continues to say.... Well everyone has a right to their opinion I suppose but it just didn't sit well with me at all. I hardly pay attention to him anymore to be honest because personally I just found that to be so off the wall I couldn't take him seriously going forward.

I believe in my fair share of conspiracies, but that's just not one of them.

I don't wish for the man to be destroyed but I do hope the parents are compensated for ANY emotional damage or other damage they have experienced due to his massive social following and the harmful things he's said on his platform.

I would never ever want to find myself in their shoes. Now that I am a mother it is one of my worst fears- and someone said something about hope they don't find ATS. I should hope they don't too with some of the things I've seen on here regarding this over the years- with that being said if they do- Bless their souls and may the universe give them peace because they will need it.

Good, he deserves it for pushing this idiotic and insulting crap and filling the stupid people of America's heads' with even more stupidity.

a reply to: gortex

Slander is a real thing and Jones is about to find out that the burden of proof re slander is far lower when the objects of that slander are not public figures.
