A torrent of harassment against Parker and other families soon began. It hasn’t stopped since, testimony showed.
On a memorial page for his daughter, Parker found himself up late at night desperately trying to delete messages from extremists who claimed his daughter never died.
“That really threw me off,” Parker testified. “I was looking for something to keep me stable because my compass was spinning, I didn’t know which way was what, and seeing these comments broke that connection I had, that stability.”
Nicole Hockley, whose 6-year-old son Dylan was killed, testified she was sent pictures of dead children by harassers as she mourned the death of her own.
“I got sent pictures of dead kids because [harassers said] as a ‘crisis actor’ I didn’t know what dead kids looked like,” Hockley testified.
And parents Mark and Jackie Barden, whose 6-year-old son Daniel was killed, testified they received a letter from someone claiming to have urinated on their son’s grave. Another letter threatened to dig up the child’s grave.
As the families of those killed were forced to navigate the abuse, Jones and Infowars saw profits go up specifically on days when he called the shooting fake, evidence showed.
