Judge: Alex Jones can't use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying Sandy Hook families_我的网站

一 |     HOUSTON -- A Texas judge has ruled that Infowars host Alex Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying more than $1.1 billion to families who sued over his conspiracy theories that the Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax. The decision is another significant defeat for Jones in the wake of juries in Texas and Connecticut punishing him over spreading falsehoods about the nation's deadliest school shooting. U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez of Houston issued the ruling Thursday.Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year and more recent financial documents submitted by his attorneys put his personal net worth around $14 million. But Lopez ruled that those protections do not apply over findings of “willful and malicious” conduct.“The families are pleased with the Court’s ruling that Jones’s malicious conduct will find no safe harbor in the bankruptcy court," said Christopher Mattei, a Connecticut lawyer for the families. “As a result, Jones will continue to be accountable for his actions into the future regardless of his claimed bankruptcy.”An attorney for Jones did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday. After 26 people were killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, Jones made a false conspiracy theory a centerpiece of his programing on his flagship Infowars show. He told his audience last year he was “officially out of money” and has asked them to shop on his Infowars website to help keep him on the air.But Jones' personal spending topped $93,000 in July alone, including thousands of dollars on meals and entertainment, according to his monthly financial reports in the bankruptcy case. The spending stuck a nerve with Sandy Hook families as they have yet to collect any of the money that juries awarded them. Sandy Hook families won nearly the $1.5 billion in judgments against Jones last year in lawsuits over repeated promotion of a false theory that the school shooting that ever happened.The amount of money Jones owes Sandy Hook families could grow even larger. Another lawsuit is pending in Texas, brought by the parents of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, one of the children slain in the attack. A trial date has not yet been set.Relatives of the victims testified at the trials about being harassed and threatened by Jones’ believers, who sent threats and even confronted the grieving families in person, accusing them of being “crisis actors” whose children never existed.。    为切实增强街道工作人员的消防安全意识，提升火灾预防和应急处置能力，5月23日，蓝天救援队来到连山区锦郊街道，开展了一场内容丰富、具有较强实用性和针对性的消防安全知识讲座。         　　消防教官叶鹏结合当前实事新闻与真实事件视频，为大家敲响了消防安全警钟。视频中触目惊心的火灾场景，让在场工作人员深刻认识到火灾的危害和消防安全的重要性。随后，叶鹏为大家分析讲解了火灾的预防和处置方法。从日常生活中的用电、用气安全，到如何排查身边的火灾隐患，都进行了细致的阐述。         　　在灭火器材的使用讲解环节，教官现场演示了灭火器、消火栓等常见灭火器材的正确操作方法，并邀请工作人员上台进行实际操作。大家积极参与，亲身体验，在实践中掌握了灭火器材的使用技巧。         　　讲座还设置了实操演练环节。模拟火灾发生后，工作人员在救援队员的指导下，迅速反应，按照正确的逃生方法，快速找到逃生通道，有序转移至安全地带。通过这次演练，大家进一步熟悉了火灾应急处置流程，提高了自防自救能力。
