    Why do Democrats specifically not want to hold Alec Baldwin to account when he actually killed a woman?

    I have noticed you keep defending Baldwin. And show us that the female shot to death is less a concern than Baldwin is for you.

    If Hakeem-557 is hired to ensure the safety of kids in daycare, and instead he smokes marihuana in the backyard while kids burn to death inside, then Hakeem is headed for the Pokey.

    Legal liability is not as black and white are you'd want to believe.

    They do? I have not heard them take a stance on it. He is at the mercy of the investigators and prosecutors.

    No. I am not defending him, I am simply offering my take on the incident. If he is held liable, then so be it.

    Would you like to say a prayer for "the female"? You can do it right here.

    Assume all guns are loaded with live ammunition until proven otherwise. Everyone who handled the gun prior to the accident holds some amount of responsibility. Accidents like this have happened before and I'm sure when it did the company brainstormed ways to prevent this from ever happening again, but here we are once again with another senseless death because no one who had their hands on the gun prior to the shooting didn't take a few seconds to protect someone from death or injury by checking the rounds in the chambers. I bet they all wish now they had taken a few seconds and checked the gun. Someone is dead and another injured and no one will ever get those few seconds back.

    As producer and shooter Baldwin has a ton of legal liability.

    Yes, I think so, since there are people who were specifically hired to make sure the props are safe.

    Maybe, although in the past they have gone after the directors who are in charge of the movie sets. Some directors have been found guilty of negligent manslaughter.

    Of course I do - EVERY Genuine American Male in America knows who Sergio Leone is - I just watched Once Upon a Time in The West, yesterday. It wasn't about Italy - it is about America, and real men doing the right thing to the dregs of society...

    Amazing that Charles Bronson didn't kill any of the cinematographers, ain't it, hombre?

    Perhaps Hakeem-557 would go to the pokey. But the arsonists who dumped accelerant all over the back wall of the daycare and lit it up certainly would end up in the pokey. In the Baldwin case Baldwin is analogous to the arsonist.
    Sure. As has been pointed out it depends a lot on one’s assets and class status.

    Then you know that the guy who you call "Genuine American man" was actually Italian, and the movies were made in Italy and Spain.

    You are gettig way ahead of your pony, Jethro. Every Genuine American Male in America knows Mr. Leone's ethnicity. Thankfully, Mr. Leone was wise enough to know that America was great, and wanted to make great movies about Great, Genuine American, Men.

    If there was an arsonist, there there would be criminal intent, which is missing here.

    Is that why Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison?

    They are investigating the shooting and they may or may not press charges, but that doesn't have anything to do with anyone's assets. If charges are pressed, then assets will be in play to hire good lawyers, but at this point it plays no role.

    You said Genuine American men were running the show aka making the movies and I showed you that it was not true.

    You sure have a hard time owning your words.

    If Madoff only ripped off Republican Trump voters he would would have skated like Dorothy Hamill.

    I was talking about Hollywood - YOU took it off into the weeds.

    You need to practice more.

    Right in front of your eyes are Democrats explaining away this death by Baldwin as if he is the victim.
    Based on our Democrat run Media, I smell a praise for Baldwin coming up very soon as if he is the victim and hero too.
    I actually feel as bad for his victim as I do for the family of Ashli Babbitt.

    I plan to check but my hunch is Baldwin loved it when Babbitt was killed by a rogue cop.

    For the same reason they'd want to hold the shooter to account were it one of the tiny handful of conservative actors in Hollywood, like James Woods.

    I suppose that is why they call acting pretending.

    Thanks and that sums it up pretty well. I had a hunch many here take the killing of the woman seriously. Democrats pour their hearts into his defense.

    Where? Which Democrat is saying Baldwin is the victim? Maybe your mind it too wrapped up in partisan politics.

    I can only speak for myself and I compare this incident to similar cases in the past to assess how this might end up. How do you make your assessment, other than based on your emotions and obvious dislike for the actor?

    Awww......the "poor republican victim" card. When nothing is happening, you say "IF he was republican.......".

    Who held the revolver?
    Who pulled the trigger of the revolver?
    Who actually killed (KILLED) Halyna Hutchins?

    Therefore, who should be at the top of the list of any and all who should be charged in this situation?

    [​IMG]. In hyperliberal Santa Fe County, New Mexico, it WON'T be this guy....

    Those bullets are for scenes like where the shooter is loading or reloading the gun or mag. Other than that there is no reason for realistic looking ammo. Whatever the Lee movie was, it was not a western from the days when whole armies of good and bad guys were shooting it out.

    The story on this shooting is beginning to flesh out and maybe at some point we will actually know what happened. It's sounding very bad for the young lady that was the armorer though.

    In this case they wanted to use look-alike bullets to the camera would catch the round in the barrel when it was pointed directly at the camera. That was mentioned in the article I attached.

    Yes, she could be in trouble. Sounds like the live rounds were present for her own amusement (target shooting).
