Need to take him to task and create legal precident so others cannot avoid responsibility for their crimes as easily. It's an imperfect system but necessary.
makes his living tormenting the parents of murdered children with insane lies (because he knows just how fucking dumb some folks online can be) 
when he's amassed a small fortune selling jars of powdered nothing to idiots and has likely driven those poor parents to the brink of sanity does he finally relent? does he maybe rally his brain-dead followers to villainize, you know, the actual murderer? no, more hell for the mothers and fathers of dead kids
when he's finally squarely caught in the lie does he at long last admit to his treachery and give these parents some sorely deserved peace? no he sics more of his dipshit brigade on them, lawyers up, and starts hiding his ill-gotten wealth 
and now that his fanbase is down to a dozen inbred preppers and the whole world sees him for what he truly is, he's determined to keep lying, keep hiding his money, and keep avoiding consequences 
he talks about demons a lot, i sure hope they're real - because that professional coward deserves to give pazuzu a rusty trombone for all eternity >


Father Coughlin

And as a redditor is wont to do, I quickly skimmed the top of his Wikipedia article,

Initially, Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, but he became a harsh critic of Roosevelt, accusing him of being too friendly to bankers. In 1934, he established a political organization called the National Union for Social Justice. Its platform called for monetary reforms, nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of labor rights. The membership ran into the millions, but it was not well organized locally.

"Well he doesn't sound all that bad"

After making attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the fascist policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The broadcasts have been described as "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture".

"Oh." >

THIS! ahem.  Yes, the Rachel Maddow "Ultra" series online is totally worth a listen. Your jaw will drop (maybe) and it certainly made me realize that the bullshit we have going on right now is just a little bit of history repeating. >

Between the actions detailed in Ultra, the Buisness Plot, Nixon, Iran-Contra, The Bush and Trump admins Conservatives have been absolutely lawless for about a century now.  Honestly at this point being a Conservative should be something to be reviled by polite society, but for some reason we have to pretend like these terrorists have a point and that all wisdom should be found some distance between the Democratic and Republican Parties. >

The arrogance of this conceited blowhard 🙄 >

I like to think the judge responded by saying, “Are you fucking stupid or something?” >

"Not supported by any evidence or case law" is pretty much just that in legalese. >

I don’t want legalese. I want the judge to be so exasperated by this lump of shit that they just can’t resist calling out his dumb fuckery. >

Ah but when that happens it's called Judicial Misconduct. >

I figured as much. I still want to hear it. >

Not if you want the judge's hearing to stand up to appeal.
I low key wonder if all his cockamamie behavior in court is a hamfisted attempt to get the judge to lose their cool so his lawyers can appeal to have the case tossed.
A strategy which any reasonable lawyer would advise their client wouldn't work. >

Can the judge just take off its glasses and just stare with contempt would that be okay in person >

No idea, but I don't think that makes the transcript. >

“Stares mutherfuckingly” >

The best way to stare. >

This and the infant from here in Ohio found, both in the news today. Happy Holidays! >

Shit, the other baby from the cat jacking in Columbus was found? That’s rad that happened right down the road from me >


cat jacking

I know this was a typo, but I'm going to pretend it wasn't. >

They were just trying to do a live action remake of My Neighbor Totoro! >

Good.
My only worry is that he will manage to hide his money illegally somehow and nobody will be able to find it. >

Him trying to hide his funds is where he goes from civil penalties to criminal charges. >

Stop giving me hope that he will die alone in prison. >

You greatly overestimate the legal system. Whether he's convicted or not, he'll spend a negligible amount of time in prison. Contrary to popular belief, money doesn't keep you safe, the people you know do. The moment the spotlight leaves him, he's getting out. Look at Cosby. Even Weinstein will probably get out in a couple of years, now that people feel safe. >

Cosby didn’t get out because he wasn’t in the spotlight anymore lol there are enough problems with our legal system without just making shit up. 
In ‘05, the prosecutor made some announcement that Cosby wouldn’t be charged with assault of a specific victim if he gave a deposition in the civil case. A different prosecutor a decade later then used that deposition as evidence to criminally charge Cosby. I personally don’t feel like that “promise” should’ve stood because it was just a news announcement and not some official agreement but the Supreme Court disagreed and that’s why he got out. It had nothing to do with him being out of the media headlines. >

My point is that their people on the outside wait till attention dies down to act. When the public is focused on the newest national controversy, it's easier to get someone out of prison because there's not as much pressure to convict. >

While this could be true, you used two cases that don't show that as your examples. Weinsteins dumpy ass is still in court to this day. Having been found unanimously guilty of atleast 1 rape days ago. >

Yes, in the future, Weinstein will probably weasel his way out of prison, whether on good behavior (i.e. schmoozing up to the right people) or on a technicality that will be brought up once people stop talking about him. It may take a couple of years, but it's better than the sentence he received. Successful people rarely serve a full sentence, because they have friends in high places. >

Scumbag.   Hope karma catches up to him in spades. >

He is trying his hardest to worm his way out of this.
This little baby does not want to face the consequences of his own actions. >

"Ok, sorry we didn't take this whole 'trial' thing seriously before, but we promise we'll do it now. Do over?" >

Get fucked you assclown! >

Still can’t believe he tried to claim 100k a month from infowar’s as wages otherwise he might be forced to claim a second job.    And far right idiots still don’t think he’s a grifter. >

Wow Alex, it’s almost like your words and actions have consequences. >

Trump next! >

This has been a wonderful Christmas. >

Reminds me of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers. >

Who says there's never any good news? >

Fluoride is turning your frogs gay! >

He’s finally losing his smug expression. >

Live by the sword, die by the sword. >

...you can tell the apology note he gave the plaintiffs was from the heart the way he continuously tries to have the verdict against him dismissed as he makes fun of the trials on his show. >

I'm glad to see that Alex Jones' motion to set aside the Sandy Hook verdict was denied. It's deeply disturbing to see someone try to spread harmful and false conspiracy theories about such a devastating tragedy, and I'm glad that the courts have recognized the importance of upholding the truth. My thoughts are with the families of the victims, and I hope that they can find some sense of closure and justice in this decision. >

I used to see Alex Jones' name in a headline and feel angry now I read it and feel...vaguely happy justice (at least in the court of public opinion) may finally be catching up to him. >

Oh dear what a pity.  Nevermind. >

Well, there goes Infowars' defense fund, for like the 10th time in the past year, at least. >

Stall is the tactic of the rich. >

Do verdicts even work like that >

Fuck this scum of the earth. I’m glad every time is see a pic of him he has aged 5 years. >

Fuck that money leech. >

I hope he lives a very long life >

Gotta be something to charge him with for hiding assets. >

Love to see this fat piece of shit getting his comeuppance.  This pig deserves everything he gets >

They won't even let him discharge his obligations here via bankruptcy... he's royally screwed. It's almost better seeing him deal with this than jail. >

This man has earned his
Place in hell! >

Poetic justice to watch as Jones' lawyers play him with the same game Alex played his listeners. Drain, drain, drain your boat. >

He could have saved his money on that one. There was no way that would have been granted. >

How long until this fuck is living in a cardboard box? >

Here's to hoping wwcr and wrmi fill that block with more review brah as soon as possible >

You do the crime - you pay for it >

I'm too nice. "I've never wished death upon a man, but I have been known to read the obituaries with great joy." >

can we just forget about him paying up, and just throw his roid-raging ass in prison where he can't cause as much damage anymore?
