Now a lawyer for Jones wants to make the parents’ home addresses public.
Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa lost 6-year-old Noah in 2012 when a gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, killing 20 children and six adults. More than five years later, they still get harassed by conspiracy theorists claiming the shooting was all a hoax.
Their harassment has led to a defamation lawsuit against Jones, who has fueled the conspiracy fires for years by claiming interviews with the parents and media outlets were faked and that the shooting may have never happened. A Texas judge is currently reviewing whether Jones’ motion to dismiss the case has any merit. In the meantime, Jones’ lawyer is seeking to open the floodgates for dangerous parties to easily find the Sandy Hook parents.
In new court filings obtained by Huffington Post, Pozner and De La Rosa, who live separately, describe the steps they took in the wake of Jones reigniting the hoax theory...
That' disgusting. I can understand defending even the most vile speech on principle, but there are a surprising number of right-wingers who love Alex Jones and everything he stands for. One of them is our President.
