By now, you’ve probably already seen the video of Tulsa little leaguer Isaiah Jarvis comforting Pearland, Texas little league pitcher Kaiden Shleton who was visibly upset over beaning Jarvis in a recent championship game.

Alex Jones Crossed A Line And Now Is Being Held Accountable

Let me start off by saying, I’m a firm believer of the First Amendment. However, what Alex Jones and countless other people have done isn’t news reporting. It’s fear mongering. It’s bullying and harassment. It’s screaming “Fire!” in a crowded room.
