First, They Came for Alex
Editor's note: InfoWars is the platform of Alex Jones, a conservative radio host.
Alex Jones... InfoWars studio and other assets auctioned off to pay a ridiculous but sinister-in-its-implications $1.5 billion court judgment to his “victims” – whose feelings he hurt.
No actual harm done was established...
Jones believed there were fishy circumstances surrounding the Sandy Hook school shooting.

These are dangerous precedents – and as is always true with this sort of dirty business – the precedents are set by going after easy targets. Jones is obnoxious to some and easy to portray as a loud-mouthed jerk...
The point being, they choose a target that most people will look at and think: Well, he ( or they) got what he (or they) deserved. Failing to grasp that they have just endorsed being on the receiving end of the same thing, whenever it suits whoever doesn’t like them.
It need not be the government, per se, that doesn’t like them. But the government is always the useful tool. In the case of Jones, it was the government’s courts – which were used to bankrupt (and thereby) silence him...
