Alex Jones does the electronic equivalent of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater every day. I don't know if he was the actual creator of the Sandy Hook "truther" thing, but he definitely promulgated it. Now he is fanning the flames of the crazy Pizzagate thing which is spreading like a virus among the loons.

Here is the thing--this crazy, irresponsible nutcase is going to get people killed if he hasn't already. There have always been and should be limits to the 1st amendment.

When do we, as a society, start working on a solution to the flaws in our Constitution?

They are literally killing us. The election of Trump is just the latest symptom. Pizzagate is another. The Sandy Hook insanity another.

We are a country being dragged down into madness by our own mentally ill--made strangely powerful by our system.

The ironic fact is that any cure could be far worse than the disease.

There is no sin or crime too horrible, loathsome, or despicable that gun-nuts won't Aristus Dec 2016 #1
