Father of Sandy Hook victim awarded $450 K in defamation suit

Leonard Pozner, the father of the youngest victim in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Noah Pozner, 6, won a judgment for $450,000 in a defamation suit against the editor of a book claiming the massacre was faked.

A Wisconsin jury determined the amount to be paid to Pozner, a Jewish man whose son was among 26 people killed at the Connecticut school.

The award came after the judge ruled that Pozner had been defamed by James Fetzer and Mike Palecek, the editors of the book, "Nobody Died at Sandy Hook," claiming the government staged the killing to advance stronger gun control restrictions. According to the book, Pozner faked Noah's death certificate to advance the conspiracy. Thus making the book a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy.

Fetzer, 78, is described on his Wikipedia page as "a former professor of the professor of the philosophy of science at the University of Minnesota Duluth and a conspiracy theorist." In the 1990s he promoted JFK's assassination conspiracy theories and later the 911 conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial, just to name a few. In a display of clear irony, he called the judgment "absurd" and plans to appeal, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

Palacek, whose fanboy is Howard Zinn,  has already settled with Pozner for an undisclosed amount, according to The New York Times.

Pozner is a party to multiple lawsuits against those who claim the massacre was faked, including the execrable Alex Jones, the online provocateur and conspiracy theorist who runs Infowars. 

Jones has also made claims to the effect that the parents of Sandy Hook victims are part of a plot to take away firearms. He has also made claims that the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11, 2001 attacks and the moon landings were all government planned scams and that big businesses have colluded to create a  "New World Order" through "manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria".

In other words, Jones is one of the most prolific liars in the nation.

It's a good thing these people are holding their stinky feet to the fire.
