Alex jones only used his words. I don't get the anger towards him. He has freedom of speech, just like the two of you in this video who have opinions on all sorts of things
When people say the death penalty is archaic, I say so is murder. You dont need a new system for a cime that has been committed longer than the death penalty has been around. There was no justice with him living a life sentence in prison. He will be allowed to make friends and do drugs in prison and influence others who will be allowed back out in the world. If you watch the interigation, you'd want him dead. He loved what he did. He will be allowed to live out those memories and fantasies for life. He can encourage others in prison who are not in there for life to commit the same acts.
They should just ordered Jones to pay a zillion dollars . No one is going to see a dime
If I was a lawyer I would have the personal integrity and ethics to decline to represent Weinstein. aI believe in representing innocent people but not absolute slime. Hollywood is full of it and someone needs to clean house. It's so gross 🤢
it's like the judge was causing the appeal by letting the juror stay. so stupid.
Why did this attorney chose to come on the show talking about his client Mr. Weinstein; is that not bias?
Cruz: This is just dandy. He killed 17 innocent victims and gets life in prison. Lots of people come from really bad homes, mentally ill but do not murder 17 innocent victims. This is a miscarriage of justice.
A lot of us here in the Uk think the death penalty is unecessary in a civilised society. I’m rly surprised it still happens in the USA, almost every other civilised country has done away with it, not sure why the USA lags so far behind. It’s not saving money either as it’s more expensive to put someone to death. I’m glad nikolas got life.
If you ain't getting the death penalty for,17planned deaths,you ain't getting it at all,waste of time and tax payers money, disgrace and disgusting,so you've opened the door for it to continue,😡😡😡😡
Handy Sook imo had many many indicators that there was something hokey even "hoax-y" in the coverage, ensuing press conferences with the families had serious anomalies; all the so called "dupers delight" smiling faces. Several incidents of people not knowing they are on camera (yet) and then when made aware the camera is on them its instantly alligator tears and sad faces. Footage of actors hired to be dead people, injured people, heroic involved parties, heroic 1st response actors all. Seeing interview(s) where the woman (like some dead childs older sister) from Handy Sook looks remarkably congruent to the woman who's brother was killed in the Orlando nightclub. I don't know where the lines are drawn to where saying in your opinion that things don't seem to pass "the smell test," and categorically stating that it was 100% a hoax and "no one was hurt during the filming of this show."
I mean every single airplane crash any of us has ever seen are similar in certain regards I.e. there are recognizable pieces of an aircraft strewn about. Lawn of the Pentagon? Nope. Coinciding with the coroner in Ohio saying there was no reason for him to be there because no one is dead there. Or the original footage shown repeatedly, but only on the 1st day for a few hours (until it became too obviously fake to add to the rest of the fakery) of the NOSE of the plane exiting the building after crashing at over 550 nautical miles per hour into the tower seemingly exploding into an enormous fireball. Some news anchors were saying "look how you can see the nose of the plane here…" then that quickly changed to "explosion shockwave is shaped by the aircraft nose…" to the directors saying STOP PLAYING & TALKING about the CGI glitch/error which shows the intact airplane about to exit the far side of the tower building, after passing through the steel reinforced concrete skyscraper. A personal favorite of mine is how the airplane left the shape outline on the entry point. you see where the wings slices through leaving a gaping hole and ragged rebar. (As I chuckle to myself when it conjures up childhood memories of Wil e Coyote or something similar. meep meep).
Can't stand the rights. Gotta go can't listen anymore
Well what a super handsome guest host you have today ! he's welcome back anytime..😉
AGAIN TWO MEN SAYING WOMEN SEXUALLY ABUSED ARE LYING. You both are ridiculous!
More states should have the death penalty. It’s a shame it’s going away. A lot of criminals deserve it.
How the hell can anyone justify representing Harvey winestein. I know someone has to do it, but I never could.
I am stunned how this PR move is pathetically done. Nothing that was said gave me sympathy or anything towards Mr Weinstein. He enjoyed life to the fullest when he was a king, now it’s different. No need to call for court fairness because they are Fair in essence. He has to own his mistakes. No need to ask for compassion especially when he had none for his victims.
I‘m heartbroken 💔 i really liked Danny Masterson 😢 Never heard of the previous convictions and now this..
Our past is fair when convicted.
I don’t think all mental illnesses are severe enough to warrant any leniency. Most people with mental illness or bad childhoods do not kill. People with psychopathy should never be spared because that is technically a mental illness. It’s not like schizophrenia. It can’t be treated in any way and the people with it, who are not CEO’s etc don’t deserve any compassion. If you are a psychopath or sociopath and you kill then there are only 2 ways to keep the public safe – permanent incarceration or death.
You will see a lot less death penalty punishments in future because young people have google and can look up how many wrongful convictions due to corruption and coerced confessions there have been. They are also more reluctant to put a mentally I’ll person to death.
If anyone is upset that he didn’t get the death penalty there are people to blame. It’s not the jurors. It’s the coward police who could have shot him if they weren’t too scared to enter the school.
This dude is evil. Represents Weinstein 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 gross
Yikes y’all brought on the man defending Weinstein…even if it’s civil not a great look.
Weinstein assaulted 100s of women
AJ doesnt have a billion
Mysoginy is strong here…. this perverted man is responsible for his position in life… not a movement!!!!!!
Nikolas wanted to die. That was his ultimate goal. The jury denied that
Who cares if HW is in poor health. Rot in hell.
How useless…get somebody who is not a defense or prosecutor…might be more interesting…my 1st time listening BYE
He’s brand new
Liberal Do-Gooding Baby Killers spared Nikolas Cruz. Disgusting!
As a lawyer he saya a lot of "uh" which totally make him not believable
What a fcnkg joke to those families. Why show any compassion to such demon?
Not a human! A DEMON.
Hope all those who voted for his lovely future regret it every second and feel the pain that every single family has till this day for their huge loss.
NC deserves to be punish not saved.
Trials should not be determined by a Jury anymore. It's just not effective 😕 society has changed so much for the worst and social media is partly to blame. People see and hear way to much online. People have a strong opinion about everyone and everything these days. It will cost more to keep Harvey Weinstein in prison with all of his medical issues. Just costing taxpayers more money! 💰
I know what Jones sat isn’t right but he have the right off the freedom of speech 🎤, right?! If he is convicted of this, than it’s blows my mind! War criminals still working in the government didn’t get any punishment, so crazy! The world upside down 🤔
Quit playing dumb, they are in florida…those 3 holdouts are right wing psychopaths that believe the same rhetoric this stupid ass kid believes, they love him, its not rocket science
If Alex Jones has to pay for lying, what about the celebrities who pushed the experimental covid vaccines?
A very nice video and interesting stories and info thnx.
South florida isn't conservative, if this was held maybe in Central or northern Florida it would have been different
This entire video is shocking and aggravating 😡
I dont agree that the verdict for Nikolas Cruz was suprising because research is showing that people "in general" are falling more and more out of favor for the death penalty in states that have it. There has been a steady decline in the use of it for at least a decade now.
They're acting like Alex Jones Caused Sandy Hook. Didn't say that it didn't happen he said it did not happen the way they said it happened. Ridiculous
