Alex Jones threatens Sandy Hook parents with cease and desist orders if they don't stop "assaulting" him

In January 2015 Alex Jones said on a posted video that "Sandy Hook is a synthetic completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured. I couldnt believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey -- so yeah, or Pakistan. The sky is now the limit."

In December 2014, Jones claimed that the mass shooting was "a giant hoax."

Today, Alex Jones posted a threat to the parents of Sandy Hook who dare to repeat what Jones has said: "At a certain point," he says, "do cease and desist letters have to go out? With a letter and videos and everything so it's all on record? ... You see, *I'm* the one whose under assault, *I'm* the one whose being misrepresented."
