FIFY.

Thread bump. I have mixed feelings about this. I have zero empathy for Jones and consider him a POS for a human, but he's also the test for just how willing we are to look past Free Speech cuz he's an A -hole. I really don't enjoy having to defend such a person, but I worry about precedent here:

Families of Sandy Hook shooting victims win legal victory in lawsuit against InfoWars, Alex Jones
