The father of a child killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting won a defamation lawsuit on Monday against the publishers of the book that claimed the 2012 massacre never happened.

A Wisconsin judge ruled in favor of Lenny Pozner, whose 6-year-old son Noah was one of 26 people killed in the Newtown, Conn. shooting, The Associated Press reported.

Moon Rock Books reportedly apologized to Pozner and said it was pulling “Nobody Died at Sandy Hook,” written by James Fetzer and Mike Palacek.

“My face-to-face interactions with Mr. Pozner have led me to believe that Mr. Pozner is telling the truth about the death of his son,” Dave Gahary, the principal officer at publishing company, said. “I extend my most heartfelt and sincere apology to the Pozner family.”

Pozner’s lawyers argued in court that the book defamed the Pozner family by stating Noah’s death certificate was faked, the AP reported.

Fetzer has previously claimed that “evidence clearly shows this wasn’t a massacre, it was a FEMA drill.”

How big of a scumbag do you have to be for you to harass the father of a 6 year old son to his face?

[JI7]

1. imagine losing a child and then dealing with these scumbags on top of that

[NCjack]

2. Justice would require transferring the assets of Moon Rock Books and the authors

to Lenny Pozner.

[True Blue American]

12. 1000%

Agree! The Publisher should be bankrupted!

[DFW]

3. They probably saw that Jerome Corsi wasn't punished for the Swiftboating smear against John Kerry

And they figured, "hey, let's make ourselves some money with a similar scam."

Attacking a Vietnam Vet who is a sitting US Senator is one thing. Attacking the families of some murdered 6 year old first graders is another thing entirely. It's good to see that a court agreed.

[BlueStater]

4. Fuck you, Fetzer and Palacek.

Maggots are higher up in the food chain than human garbage like you two dirtbags.

[BSdetect]

5. This insanity has to stop. The gop has never spoken up against birtherism etc

Sheer lunacy prevails on the right.

[Ilsa]

6. I hope the judge gave a huge

Financial judgment to Pozner, even though I know he wasn't looking for money. Bankrupt the publisher. Let their last published comment be, "We were wrong to publish bullshit to make a few bucks on murdered 6 year olds."

[Fritz Walter]

8. And took away their crayons

So they won't write any more books!

[BeckyDem]

7. This was a critical win, imo.

What a bunch of slime. Dave Gahary, my face to face interactions with Pozner have led me to believe he is telling the truth about his son? Omg, fuck him. The national media got it right you lying pig, there was no reason in the world to not believe it.

I despise these people.

[catrose]

9. The Pozners were the only Jewish family among the Sandy Hook victims.

I've always suspected that was a motivation for the trolls.

[Maraya1969]

10. I think they are still selling the book. Only $120 for one with Dr. Fetzer's personal inscription

You can see very clearly here why these thieves wrote this book. It must have made them a lot of money. If anyone thinks I should not post this information please let me know and I'll remove it.

Nobody Died At Sandy Hook: It was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control
Nobody Died At Sandy Hook
It was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control
(Second Edition—Expanded and Revised)

FIRST EDITION BANNED BY AMAZON NOVEMBER 2015

A 455-page (revised and updated) volume on the purported shooting incident at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut, alleged to have taken place on 14 December 2012, by 12 contributors, including six current or retired Ph.D. college professors, who have established through their research that the school had been abandoned by 2008.

This second edition includes five new chapters on the more bizarre aspects of the “Sandy Hook experience”, including a chapter on missing witnesses (death, retirement, disappearance), surprising connections to China and on the role of The Chronicle of Higher Education in disseminating false information and propaganda about Sandy Hook.

Copiously documented with photographs, records, and other proofs that make it so detailed, so thorough, and so compelling, that the U.S. government has had to resort to extreme measures to suppress it, including having it banned by amazon.com. It concludes with a new Afterword by James Tracy, Ph.D., who was unjustly fired by Florida Atlantic University.

The book is copiously documented with photographs, records, and other proofs that make it so detailed, so thorough, and so compelling, that the U.S. government has had to resort to extreme measures to suppress it, including having it banned by Amazon.com.

11. "My face-to-face interactions with Mr. Pozner have led me to believe ...

that Mr. Pozner is telling the truth about the death of his son."

Why am I getting the impression this man may be perfectly content to believe the stories about the death of another son based solely on faith?

[jayschool2013]

13. Fetzer's ouevre

Conspiracy books denying the Zapruder film of JFK's assassination, labeling 9/11 as an inside job, etc.

He once was a philosophy professor at Minnesota-Duluth.

[George II]

14. That poor man, glad he won after that idiot put the father through all that after he lost his son.

There truly are evil people in this world.

[sarabelle]

15. I want to see this story on Rachel. Sick and tired of Trump free press all the time

The media should be talking about this for at least two days.

[SallyHemmings]

19. Trump and his nonsense are a bad rerun

Because the media talks about him ad nauseum, he loves the attention. Fade to black.

I agree with you sarabelle. This should be the lead story.

[defacto7]

16. It's not a scum bag that does such things,

It's a psychopath with a simple desire for self advancement and a few weak followers who commit such evil acts. People easily follow psychopaths because they are so at ease and convincing.

[bronxiteforever]

17. I left Twitter because these types are posting

A photo that is supposed to show that all the Sandy Hook children are alive. The pictures of the deceased are compared to another older photo implying the children are still alive. I reported the first one to Twitter but it was a fools errand because when I started looking there was many many reposts of same photo.

I can’t even imagine the anger and pain that these people have caused these parents. This conduct is so so evil. There should be justice against those that mock the death of one’s innocent little child with defamation.

Kick and recommend for a victory against such disgusting hate.

[malaise]

18. The only way to deal with these scumbags is to take away every penny

they earn from this fake shit. Make them homeless and penniless

[MyOwnPeace]

20. Let's bring them back!

you know, the old public pillories in the center of town (the device where they place their head and arms into a wooden device in the town square and the town folk get to "visit" them).

These 2 guys would be my first choices for that special "showing!"

[marble falls]

21. Trumpitis is rampant. They haven't a clue about what freedom of speech really is about.

[3Hotdogs]

22. Damages will be decided in October.

Belief in what you say or print is a defense against libel and slander. By saying he is NOW convinced the shooting was not a FEMA exercise, implies he thought he was telling the truth.

[Scurrilous]

23. K&R

[MadDAsHell]

24. DU'S previous praise of James Fetzer needs to be scrubbed, pronto. nt
