    A tragedy all the way around.
    If charges are warranted, then they should be brought.

    All unexpected deaths are ruled a crime scene until the coroner or someone equivalent either rules out foul play or states a crime has been committed. This is standard operations. Here they found at least negligence.

    this almost sounds like someone trying to sabotage the movie, what the heck

    one time is an accident, 3 times, something is up

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rust-movie-shooting-ammunition-recovered_n_61795371e4b066de4f6a44e8

    "reported that Baldwin’s stunt double accidentally fired two live rounds on set five days before the shooting. The stunt double had reportedly been told that the gun did not contain live ammunition. The New York Times, citing three former crew members, similarly reported that there had been at least two earlier accidental gun discharges on the set."

    Why isn't Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter?

    If it had been you or me who accidentally shot someone, it would be your or my fault for not having confirmed the weapon was safe... the argument 'someone else was supposed to check it' would not (and should not) fly.

    if you were hired for a scene and they gave you a gun that was said to be not loaded and killed someone, no, you would not be criminally charged

    the gun had all blanks but one, why is the question

    if I was at home and someone handed me a gun, told me it wasn't loaded or loaded with blanks and that it was safe to fire at someone, I absolutely would be and should be held responsible (or at least complicit) if that turned out to not be the case. why is it different for Alec Baldwin on a movie set?

    Definitely seems to be headed toward a charge of negligent homicide:

    Alec Baldwin fired a 45 caliber Colt pistol loaded with a live lead bullet in last week's accidental fatal shooting on the set of his movie "Rust," the Santa Fe Sheriff said

    not the same, if you go to work and your employer gives you a defective tool and someone dies on accident, you don't get charged

    Oh, of course.

    Lots of investigating to be done, before even the possibility of charges.

    What "Excuses"?

    Why are you making stuff up?:bored:

    I just read through the Entire Thread.

    There WASN'T Even ONE Post that (even remotely) "made excuses" for Baldwin.

    NOBODY is "making excuses" for Baldwin.

    Then again, maybe the same people that you think are "making excuses" are the same ones who told you that Lori Lightfoot was the Mayor of Dolton, Illinois?

    That seems to be a common occurence when people rush into a thread with a Generic, Uniformed "Dems Bad!" comment--Without even reading the thread.:bored:

    That may explain it.

    Huh?

    What is "in the title" of an article linked from Fox News that PROVES your utterly misguided statement that:

    "Democrats making excuses left and right for Alec"

    Obviously, as expected, you've got NOTHING.:bored:

    You may want you consider quiiting while you are behind, before continuing to dig a deeper hole.

    Once again, the following statement is Complete BS (which you can't back up). Period!

    "Democrats making excuses left and right for Alec"

    Real guns and live ammo should be permanently BANNED from ALL MOVIE or live play sets from this day forward.

    You're entire argument is that gun safety rules don't apply because Baldwin was hired. Because he was hired, certain gun safety practices can be ignored.

    That should be bullshit, but sadly, it's probably exactly what will happen here.

    After I got a load of what the “armorer” looked like, I wouldn’t let that thing hold my beer, much less control weapons on a set. You can spot an AA, diversity hire a mile away.

    They are still investigating and no charges filed yet. It ain't looking good for him as far as the liability of the set and production, that there were live rounds on the set that others had been "plinking" around the set with live ammunition, and he fired the weapon with is a single action revolver, he didn't open cylinder and inspect he had to **** it back through TWO clicks with his thumb before he could fire it and he is responsible for his aim point.

    Yep, this doesn't exactly strike confidence for who I would hire to be in charge of the guns...
