U.S. conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre $45.2 million in punitive damages - on top of $4.1 million in compensatory damages already awarded - for falsely claiming the shooting was a hoax, a Texas jury decided on Friday.
So there you are, the Sandy Hook School massacre of December 14, 2012 really happened.
But then what is one to make of the report of an interview with Sandy Hook School Principal, Dawn Hochsprung, which was published on the Web site of the local newspaper, The NewTown Bee, and in which it was stated that:
"Sandy Hook School Principal Dawn Hochsprung told The Bee that a masked man entered the school with a rifle and started shooting multiple shows [sic] – more than she could count – that went "on and on."This is bizarre for two reasons.
First, Dawn Hochsprung was later reported to have been the first to die in the shooting rampage when she confronted lone gunman, Adam Lanza, as he entered the school building. If true, this would have made a post-event interview impossible.
Second, the NewTown Bee's story appeared in the Bing cache date-stamped December 13, 2012, the day before the school shooting occurred.
For obvious legal reasons, we refrain from all inferences concerning the above-stated facts.
