Yes, Alex Jones made false conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook mass shooting, and yes some of his followers harassed the victims’ families. Even though Alex Jones now says that Sandy Hook did happen and actual children were killed, his initial conspiracy theories led to emotional trauma for the victims’ families.

Some of the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories hold eerie similarities with some 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Years ago, many 9/11 conspiracy theorists – Alex Jones included – suggested that nobody died on Flight 77, the plane which crashed into the Pentagon. Some even claimed that the Pentagon attack was a cruise missile fired by the American government, not Flight 77.

It can be argued that the “nobody died on Flight 77” conspiracy theories are akin to the “no kids died at Sandy Hook” conspiracy theories and warrant defamation lawsuits against people like Alex Jones, David Icke, and “Loose Change” filmmakers Jason Bermas, Dylan Avery, and Korey Rowe.

It can also be argued that 9/11 truthers engaged in the same forms of harassment, but not just against victims’ families.

It can be argued that 9/11 conspiracy theories led to other mass shootings and bombings, such as the Norway attacks by Anders Behring Breivik. It was reported that Breivik was an avid follower of Infowars and a 9/11 truther.

It can also be argued that 9/11 truthers engaged Iin harassment of 9/11 debunkers such as Troy Sexton – aka “Troy from West Virginia” – and caused him to have a mental breakdown which resulted in his various DUI arrests, starting a drunken brawl at a Cincinnati Reds game in 2008, and the incident where he allegedly abused one of his children at a midget league football practice by throwing them over a fence.

In 2007, Mr. Sexton called in to the Alex Jones Show claiming that he was Richard Gage from AE911TRUTH.ORG, only to say nothing but “cuckoo” and “fruit loops”. After the show came back from a commercial break, Alex Jones proceeded to give out the phone number and the business name of his workplace.

It can be argued that Mr. Sexton’s downward spiral into alcohol-fueled rage stems from this incident.

It can also be argued that 9/11 conspiracy theories also influenced a 9/11 truther named Sean Fitzgerald into murdering his own father.

The outcome of the Sandy Hook trial in Austin, Texas could result in a legal precedent where anybody can be sued if they promote conspiracy theories and cause people to suffer mental anguish or act out in a way that caused injury or death.

Could we soon be seeing people like Richard Gage, Bob McIlvane, Korey Rowe, Dylan Avery, Jason Bermas, and Luke Rudkowski being sued into oblivion and their activism being censored and banned along with them?

Hell, it can be argued that PETA could use this verdict as a pretext to sue anybody who says “PETA Kills Animals” and cancel people such as former PETA worker Heather Harper-Troje and anti-PETA groups such as the Center for Consumer Freedom if PETA feels that anti-PETA sentiment causes them to lose money or causes anybody working for PETA to suffer from mental anguish. (For that matter, it can be argues that PETA could sue me if they feel my arguments of PETA being a “meat industry false flag” causes mental anguish of anybody working for PETA.)
