  there were a lot of strange things that happened with the incident in question, I’d encourage you to do more research on the topic to see what truly happened

    I DID look into it. I woke up to conservative talk radio in high school. I ate that bullshit up. And guess what? There’s no substance. It’s endless “this is weird, must be a conspiracy/liberals/soros” with zero hard evidence. That’s why Jones got bent over in court. He ruined lives over fake bullshit with no proof.

    Con artists like Alex Jones and tucker carlson HAVE to do the vague hand waving “there’s something wrong with this” talk, because if they provide a list with supporting evidence, it is easily debunked. It’s impossible to debunk a feeling. You have a feeling that something was weird about sandy hook, and you have what you think is evidence, but I can debunk them all and you won’t feel any different about it.

      zero hard evidence

      Well with Sandy Hook, there were videos like of one of the alleged fathers laughing and then suddenly turning serious for a camera, which led to speculation that these people were acting and not true victims. It was bizarre behavior for someone whose child just died. I get some people saying that everyone handles “trauma” differently.

      like this video: inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=s-ZfxxPc0r0 (you could substitute youtube.com/ for inv.tux.pizza if you want, it’s just an adless proxy)

      Other anomalies were detected like this. Certainly you can connect the dots and understand where these people are coming from in having a theory they may not have absolute proof for? Like evidence of a crime without the absolute surveillance tape that shows the crime happening? A person at the wrong place at the wrong time that a jury could convict, that kind of thing? At least do you understand the perspective such adherents of the theory have? They didn’t have “no reason” to ask questions about facts that didn’t add up, right?

      what do you think has substance in contrast?

        It sounds like you already understand that most of those things are bullshit.

        Right. And I could go down the line and debunk every one and it wouldn’t change the mind of anyone who watched Alex Jones.

        understand where these people are coming from in having a theory they may not have absolute proof for?

        That’s where the problem is. Alex Jones baselessly accused numerous people BY NAME leading to them being directly harassed and threatened.

        This is weird, therefore false flag shooting is a HUGE fucking jump that is not grounded in reality, and why he owes those people hundreds of millions of dollars.
