It won't.

The former mayor's decision to pursue bankruptcy protection temporarily stalls the effort to collect his $148 million defamation judgment, according to Georgetown Law School professor Adam Levitin.

This is a delaying tactic by the shitstain. But generally court judgements can't be discharged through bankruptcy.

It's literally been well over a year since Jones and his companies went through bankruptcy, and only recently are we getting a ruling that he can't use that to avoid paying them out.

He's literally bargained it down to $85 million and he's been non-stop still a giant piece of shit peddling conspiracy and hate the entire time.

No, these motherfuckers need to be stopped in their fucking tracks.

Stop giving me this "the system moves slowly bullshit" because I've been arrested on bullshit charges. If you're just some schmuck with no money it moves fast as living fuck. The entire god damned justice system was built and predicated on the person with the most money can stall the longest. It's not fair to hand out endless appeals only to people who can fucking afford them and tell everyone else to go fuck themselves because they can't afford a lawyer.

The system is and always has been fucking broken and we should be fucking rioting over it instead of papering over the cracks talking like "there will be justice any day now!"

Jones first defamed the Sandy Hook families in April 2017. We're about to be entering 2024. Seven fucking years doesn't seem like it has affected him much at all.
