Also. Even if he did say it. He has the right to say it if we have free speech.
Free speech does not mean NO consequences. In history people have often been shunned or ostracized for saying unpopular (even untrue) things.
If it is defamation and truly harmful then the court system is there for that.
Censorship is a slippery slope and a very bad thing.
I dislike a lot of things people say, yet I'll fight to defend their right to say it.
As to Sandy Hook. My current opinion is that it happened. I don't put the same importance on whether it did or did not as some people. All I really care about is evidence/proof if people or persons are accused regardless of how vile they may be.
Reminder free speech doesn't protect you from direct threats of violence and libel/slander, both of which AJ has been directly guilty of. You can keep trying to defend your cult hero if you want to look like a fool in front of civilized society, but you will remain on the fringe, and will be looked at with scorn by a majority of people. That's what happens when you're dead wrong. Just like AJ.
Take it to court. If you can prove it you are correct and something will be done.
Yet simply saying it is the person doing what they are claiming he is doing. Yet that is actually common. Following the playbook of Joseph Goebbels the Propaganda Minister for the Nazis and Hitler.
Then as to your repetition and cult leaders comment... If Alex is repeating the Sandy Hook claims... why can't we find many examples? I can't, and I looked.
I can find massive amounts of the media saying that is what he did, and blaming him of the same things you are. Hell they don't even need sources anymore they can just claim there are sources.
That won't hold up in court. It will hold up in the minds of the ignorant that don't understand that simply stating a thing does not make it true.
Lenin would be pleased.
