I do not disagree really. "Pop off" can be interpreted in different ways for sure. If we are honest, it probably was meant in the shoot him sense but we have no way of knowing that for sure so we can't say for definite one way or the other.
And he clearly is an attention seeker.
However, the scum on either side of this particular debate is rising to the surface for all of us to see and i have to say, from the outside (UK), it doesn't look pretty. Whatever happened to reasoned debate? I am fairly sure that the Founding Fathers would be shaking their heads at the nature of the current political discourse. Mind you, you could probably say the same for many current issues!
Gun control (which is what's on the table) has NOTING to do with banning the right to own guns.
I'm sure assault weapons were NOT considered when the Constitution was drafted. They were barely out of the gun-powder stage!
So man has taken total advantage of this amendment so now the government need to intervene. It's no ones fault but the idiots who don't want to live in cooperation with others.
Piers Morgan is also on my chit-list
Well in Iowa, Illinois, and New York they want to ban all semi-automatics. That is a lot of guns. Most guns in fact.
So yes it is about banning the right to own guns. I guess you think we should only own a flint lock right?

And this has impacted your life, how?
Alex shows people why they shouldn't trust their government. Fine! Great.
But do you wonder why the government feels a greater need to be up everyone's butt then?
It's a counter productive service he's doing. Enlightening us with no plan of quelling it.
He is inciting a revolution and frankly, I want to finish up my years devoid a military presence.
It's the Alex Jones' who are making the military baby sit us NOT...the other way around.
Standing up to the government as AJ suggest only gets you more government to deal with.
Don't you people get it????
It's all psycho- babble.
I am not suggesting being complacent but I am suggesting AJ is of no significant value in the long run.

Frankly I don't think Humans are capable of owning a calculator.
Why did Piers not answer any points/questions raised by AJ?

Are you serious? Perhaps because AJ was too busy talking over PM to give him a chance to respond. All AJ did was bulldoze the conversation, I think PM only got the chance to say about 10 coherent words in that "debate".
But that is not what this thread is about. This is about the alleged threats on AJ's life after the interview.

I think they are up our butts, as you put it, because they seek to dominate the American people and want to eliminate those that might stand in their way.

"insidious and heinous" - Why? Because AJ's own organisation (predictably) saw an opportunity and sold it to their audiences as such? No one actually shot AJ or any of his family did they? This is a victimless "crime" made by a person exercising their right to freedom of speech.
"illegal" - Please can you point me to the law stating this as illegal. In fact, I recall a law supporting it. It's called the 1st Amendment. If the individual you're accusing had said it as a call to action (as opposed to satire and irony) to the viewers of the show, then I think there would be good reason get upset about it because then it could be directly attributed as malicious and with ill-intent.
"hypocritical" - Why is it hypocritical?

www.shouselaw.com...
California Penal Code 422 PC defines the crime of "criminal threats" (formerly known as terrorist threats). A "criminal threat" is when you threaten to kill or physically harm someone and that person is thereby placed in a state of reasonably sustained fear for his/her safety or for the safety of his/her immediate family, the threat is specific and unequivocal and you communicate the threat verbally, in writing, or via an electronically transmitted device.

So if someone says something about the US president along the same lines, do they get looked into by the Secret Service? I think so.
Unfortunately saying "it was a joke" afterwards is too late as the offender already said it. At minimum Piers and the other commentators should be looked at officially, sure nothing will come out of it since the elites got the police under wraps. Its the principle of it though.

I hope his children are OK to, the guy is either a fantastic actor and shill or has a few screws loose.
And I like the guy!!!
As for PMs firing in the UK, do any of you know the facts behind it?
Nothing insidious or dodgy, his paper ran some photos that were later proven to be fake, he didnt fake them nor did he write the story. He was editor so he was fired, quite innocent really
