Bbbbbbb but, what about his freedom of speech!!!! I hope that he finds complete misery and hopelessness after the things he's done to those families.

He is free to say whatever he wants and the government can’t stop him.

He is also accountable to his victims if his actions cause them financial harm.

Freedom of speech remains intact.

Freedom of speech, freedom of consequence.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to harass others.

Yep..need to highlight the differences between saying "we need to be aware that this could be a false flag operation by Democrats to condition American citizens to accept oppressive gun control" and "(specific) people took money from George Soros to fake having a child and fake having them die in a fake school shooting because they hate America and want to make everyone slaves. We used to kill people like that, people who did what (specific person) did" over and over on nationally accessible broadcasts. Roughly paraphrased AJ's stance there, but you get the point.
