    A. You should be taught that you never point a nail gun at someone and pull the trigger
    B. In the scenario you put forth, one would have to have the safety mechanism that won't let it fire unless pushed up against a firm surface defeated.
    C. There is no certainty that, if that were to happen, you would be charged. In fact, personal experience tells me you probably wouldn't be.

    I wouldn't call that "worshipping Trump".
    Any more than the French Resistance pointing out Nazi Atrocities "worshipped Hitler".

    Once again, you've got it All WRONG!

    Obviously, the word "worship" is not appropriate.
    But, clearly "obsession" seems to come to mind.

    Imagine taking the time to copypaste what seems like 50 posts from another member?
    Wow. Just when you think you've seen it all.:bored:

    Anyway, back to the Actual Topic of Baldwin (which your severely off-topic Copypasta-Thon, that failed to contain one keystroke about Baldwin, did absolutely nothing to address).

    Even if Baldwin isn't charged criminally, obviously somebody is going to be on the hook for Major Wrongful Death Suit.

    if you playing a part in a horror movie and you're given a nail gun that is supposed to be safe and told to pretend to shoot an actor and it kills them, you are not catching a charge, as it's not your fault

    Had you read the actual article, you would have known they used that same gun to shoot at targets on set during down time.
    Its not a prop. Its a real gun. If it was a prop gun it wouldn't be bored in any caliber to accept live ammo.

    Be careful, your hypocrisy is showing after your 61 Trump worshiping post.

    I am guessing English is a second language, you might want to look up the definition of "worshiping"

    Clearly the cause was failure to follow proper basic safety procedures for the handling of firearms on a movie set. They essentially tested and cleared the firearm by cocking it, pointing it at someone and pulling the trigger.

    Except the only one I am calling out is you. Another fail. lol

    I did all that to prove you can't come to a single thread without your Trump regurgitations. You seem to have a very limited capacity to discuss anything other than Trump.
    Nobody on these boards that anyone has seen has more of an obsession over Trump than you do.

    Baldwin was and still is the boss. And Democrats will dive into dirt to try to clear Baldwin. The cops have not cleared Baldwin nor has the Coroner nor the DA.

    yes, the gun was loaded with all blanks but one, looks like someone sabotaged the prop

    somone upset with Baldwin maybe, some were upset with working conditions, the long drive, ect - and of course we know some Trump supporters were upset with him for making Trump look bad, needs to be investigated

    Most likely comes right after obsession, preoccupation, phobia, compulsion, infatuation and delusion.

    I will be more accurate in the future.

    Of course not.

    The investigation could take weeks or even months.

    Still, why would the "Left" or anybody else, go out of their way to "protect" Alec Baldwin?

    Examine all of the Democrats posts just on the forum. They see Baldwin as the victim.
    Trouble is he was the boss and of all humans on this planet should never point any gun at any human.

    Why?

    Be careful with that sort of post.
    Are you implying that physical harm should come to Baldwin?

    Trump did not aim at and shoot to kill a woman.
    Baldwin did.

    Had they hired someone who was a real firearm instructor/expert, they would have been trained NOT to trust ANYONE who hands them a firearm and to always check the breach themselves. ESPECUALLY when using a real firearm as a prop gun isn't bored to accept any caliber of ammo.

    Huh?
    WHERE?

    Who thinks Baldwin is the "victim"?

    ALL The Posts?

    Point out ONE.

    I have seen no posts referring to Baldwin as a "victim"

    I have not read one story where the scene called for Baldwin to aim to kill a female handling camera work.

    When in the Army, we fired tens of thousands of rounds at the Range and none of the shooters killed any human there.
    Baldwin is corrupt to begin with. And for he to handle a gun aimed at one of the crew can only make sense to democrats. And they protect Baldwin daily.
