New York (CNN Business)A Connecticut judge on Tuesday sanctioned right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who is being sued by families of the Sandy Hook victims for his past claims that the 2012 shooting was staged.

The ruling, handed down from Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis, came after attorneys representing several Sandy Hook families in their lawsuit against Jones filed a motion on Monday asking the judge to review footage of Jones lambasting one of the attorneys in a Friday segment.

Bellis called Jones' behavior on the broadcast "indefensible," "unconscionable," and "possibly criminal behavior."

Bellis sanctioned Jones by denying the defense the opportunity to pursue special motions to dismiss moving forward in the lawsuit. The court will also award attorneys fees and filing fees to the Sandy Hook families' lawyers related to the issue that Jones went off about in his broadcast: child pornography that Jones' team inadvertently turned over to the plaintiffs.

1. "My life in five words", by Alex "fuckhead" Jones

"indefensible," "unconscionable," and "possibly criminal behavior."

yup

[marble falls]

2. He's a bully and he's getting the 'beating' he richly deserves. He must have taken John Lennon's ...

advice (from 'Hard Day's Night'), and gotten the "best lawyer Green Stamps can buy."

3. Didn't trump go on his show during the campaign, effusive in his compliments of Jones?

4. Jones and Trump can't resist an opportunity for a round of verbal diarrhea.

They can't help themselves and it's like a powerful, addictive drug to their type.

It's a psychopath's explosive release of the only emotion they're capable of: RAGE....

We'll soon be hearing all about a lengthy barrage of this from Florida tonight......

5. I certainly hope it is being investigated..

for child porn. Or are the cops giving one of their favorites a pass?

6. Inadvertently? Yeah, sure, as if it would matter.
