The court of law, and punishments rest of facts, and proving those facts alone. The constitution states excessive fines should not be imposed(8th amendment). It’s just my opinion, I’m not a lawyer, but doesn’t it seem like taking away all of someone’s livelihood violate the right to a fair punishment?

I don’t see how anyone in CT cannot have feelings about this.

He isn’t, and I didn’t say that. Im trying not to look at this with feelings. Don’t use yours either.

This feels a lot like “he’s better than us”, which is just ridiculous.

Lots of bankrupt small business owners still living in their own homes.

I’m just trying to look at this objectively. Even with them moving this still had the ability to make money.

> him saying what he did, didn’t make the families he spoke about lose their ability to live.
Wow. Some of the families (whose children were murdered!) had to move multiple times because Jones’ listeners were making death threats against them, because Jones fed them lies that incited anger.
I can’t imagined why you’re more concerned about Jones’ family than the innocent families that Jones deliberately hurt.

That’s my point. I agree with it. He is used to a lot more. Compensation is relative to lifestyle. He was a millionaire before, well above $520k a year. This is poor to him, but not to us. The alternative is, he gets nothing. I don’t agree with that.

Did you read the article? $520k a year plus bonuses is well beyond what he needs to care for his family.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this. I agree he is a piece of shit, but does he deserve to lose his ability to care for his family. Does his family deserve to suffer for what he did? The difference between what he did and the consequences don’t match. He said words and maybe got richer off them, but him saying what he did, didn’t make the families he spoke about lose their ability to live.
Maybe they should find out how much he maybe off of sandy hook propaganda and make him pay that much to the families. I don’t know, doesn’t seem like the punishment matches the crime.

Idk what Jones's living arrangement is like, but I'd be very surprised to hear if it was subsistence housing. Roof, walls, toilet, privacy are human rights. Mansion? Nope-a-roo.

As a socialist, I believe housing is a human right.
But motherfuckers like this aren't humans so... Yeah. Agreed.

You know, the same company that’s owned by his dad and the same company that Alex himself owns a stake in. You cannot make this shit up. Can’t wait for this fat fuck to kick the bucket

That’s because we live in a caste system, whether we like it or not. It matters who you are, not what you do.

I'm sure to him and his family he is "poor". Which is a really absurd thought but wouldn't be surprising.

If you were looking at it objectively you would realize this abhorrent human being doesn't deserve a single speck of sympathy for the bullshit he's been peddling for OVER A DECADE that has hurt so many people. Fuck that. Dude deserves to be in prison or a cardboard box the rest of his life, OBJECTIVELY.
