After a frustrating and futile three years in federal bankruptcy court, the Sandy Hook families who sued Infowars conspiracist Alex Jones for defamation thought they were finally getting closer to collecting the $1.3 billion that he owes them.

But as a hearing in federal bankruptcy court in Texas got underway on Thursday, things seemed to be going the other way, with all parties showing signs of exasperation, including the judge.

“This case has been pending since 2022, folks. It just needs to end,” said U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Christopher Lopez. The more the case drags on, he added, the more money from Jones’ estate will be going toward paying the lawyers, leaving less for the families.

      You mean no false flags created by so called “heroes” that serve to uncle Sam? I don’t defend Jones at all, but whole story is quite unclear and I do have my own reasons not to believe “official” story and the criminal organization (aka “your government”). #jonesplantation #barnumworld

          Blame the largest criminal organization (the government you voted for), not me. Again, I’m not from the area and don’t know anyone personally there so I don’t have neither proof of dead nor alive children.

            So your logic is that if you haven’t personally seen/experienced something then it might not be real. There are countless countries you’ve never visited, countless people you’ve never met, and countless things you never learned. You’re wasting your own time and everyone elses talking about the shit you don’t know.

            Also, if you’re stupid enough to think school shootings in America are “fake” then you have a severe learning disability.
