Good! He's not above the law.

BTW Hilaria didn't understand what was happening. It had to be translated into her native Bostonian Spanish.

It was the armorer's responsibility to assure she was handing Baldwin a gun loaded only with blanks or dummies. However, anyone who has any experience around guns knows that you don't take another person's word that a gun is unloaded or safe. You always check it yourself, especially in a filming situation where you're going to be pointing it in the direction of people. It's not difficult or technical to check a gun. Any kid could learn how in about half a minute. Since Baldwin didn't check the gun, he bears at least some responsibility.

As for Baldwin's claim that the gun fired even though he didn't pull the trigger, any gunsmith could examine it and verify whether or not that's plausible.

reply

Didn't the FBI run tests that showed it couldn't have fired without the trigger having been pulled? And also how many lbs of pressure would have been required to squeeze the trigger, depending on the hammer position? I may be remembering that wrong.

reply

Good! I'm sick of the rich and famous being treated as though they were above the law!

And yes, from what I've read, manslaughter is the correct charge. There was no intent to do harm, but the poor cinematographer is still dead.

we will never forget, Alec

Not he alone, but also members of the crew.

Some one should make a short movie about this incident. I would end it right when shit hits the fan

reply

He shouldn’t be charged with anything. That is absolutely ridiculous. His job is to act out the scene, not determine whether the prop gun he’s been given for the scene is faulty or not.

I don’t agree with Baldwin on much, but this charge is laughable. He is not responsible for what happened.

you may ask yourselfs why did the killer of brandon lee not face charges despite same incident? it is because brandon was kill before online woketard mobs.

you see... this retard baldwon is only getting charge because he kill female and the woketard online mob want him inprisoned.

it is all political!! if baldwin shoot this woman 20 year ago then it would be call tragic accidents and everyone move on but the pc feminist tards are after him. if baldwin shoot man then also no one care and he get off.
