This day in 2012 brought America to its knees

Parents of a 6 year old victim are suing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for his claims that the shooting was a hoax.

Now, Jones has testified that his claims were irresponsible and now believes it was “100% real”

It comes as the parents’ lawyer confronts Jones about lying, telling him that his own lawyers accidentally leaked of his incriminating messages to them.

This follows the parents telling a jury about the “living hell” caused by Jones’ media platform, recalling people shooting into their home and making continuous death threats.

They’re seeking $150 million in compensation and say an apology won’t be enough.
