actually you'll find the law doesn't discern between jokingly calling for harm to another or seriously calling for harm to another, they are both considered terrorist threats and should be prosecuted. it's the laws we currently live by and so should tv hosts as well.

I didn't feel bad seeing Piers look to be at a loss for words..........
I thought he looked amused, he would have been thinking "MUAHAHAHAHA your an idiot and everyone is gonna see it"

Can you link a source showing he knew they were fake?
Ive read nothing about that and would be very interested
I agree the joke was in bad taste and he should have realised that this would ensue, but it was a joke never the less and no one, not even the people using sensational headlines, actually thinks it was serious and that AJs life was in dangeredit on 9/1/2013 by IkNOwSTuff because: (no reason given)

Sometimes laws are just BS or way too politically correct to be taken seriously.
Since your such a law abiding citizen and care about the law so much, when they ban guns I assume youll be the first in line to hand yours in? Its the law and if TV hosts should follow them then so should the rest of you

*Don's rose tinted glasses*
I remember, once upon a time when people realised the difference between taking the piss and people actually being super cerial.
they wont be banning guns but yeah if all the military, police, criminals and all other govt agencies hand in theirs, i'll jump on board.

Let's put on our big boy underwear, use our big boy words and not resort to violent threats threats just because we got verbally b***h slapped by the truth.

LOL
No no no, you dont get to make that call, if they bring in a law that says all citizens must hand over their guns will you comply?
Ill save you the trouble of replying and answer for you, No you wouldnt which makes you, talking about PM and Buzz (do parents really call their kids Buzz?) breaking a law which hurt no one, hypocritical.
I bet also that if it had of been Alex who made the comment you would be arguing my side of this, basically that it was harmless and people pushing it as anything serious are either deluded or trying to demonise someone.

Bitch slapped by a torrent of verbal diarrhea is more accurate
Once again I actually like AJ, I cant understand how anyone can defend him and the train wreck that was his "debate" he acted like a tool.
Cmon people be honest with yourselves, yeah you like him, yeah you agree with his side of the argument but anyone can see he acted like an absolute nutcase

Of course it was a threat, there will be people who heard this on TV who may well carry out the act thinking its legally justified because they heard it on the "Truth Box".

Unless you're a right-winged fanatic, it's hard for anyone else to believe that AJ thinks his tirades are helpful to the cause.
It's people like him who are obviously mentally unstable and emotionally unhinged, who should not own a gun until.... some high level evaluation clears him first.
He's either the biggest evangelistic-idiot to hit the airwaves or one of the best acting shills the establishment has churned out.
well in a world of BS, what's swimming in a little more with you? oh hey and thanks for creating an illusionary law and an illusionary reply for me, have you ever thought about politics?

OTHER people carrying out the action does not mean the one who said it made a threat!
To say it is the same means you stand on the opposite side of the fence regarding gun control then where you think you stand.
