Comment on Alec Baldwin's Rust Case Is Over, Prosecutor Drops Manslaughter Appeal
ursakhiin@beehaw.org 5 weeks agoAh. Ok. I mean, I’m of the opinion that he has every reason to believe he wasn’t going to shoot her when he pulled the trigger.
But I just wasn’t sure if you were misunderstanding the headline or if you were in the camp of punish everybody all the time.

That’s true, it sort of seems like negligent homicide to me.

I always thought that killing someone, even on accident, is against the law.

Personally, I just don’t think Baldwin is the one who deserves the charge. There were people on set responsible for ensuring his gun wasn’t loaded. Those people failed in their job.

Folks really wanted Baldwin’s balls over this becaude he was Trump on SNL. A large part of this while case was political animus.

But wasn’t Baldwin not even supposed to be shooting at the person he killed? If he had shot someone he was supposed to fire a blank at, I understand. Aren’t you supposed to practice gun safety even with replicas? Don’t point at anything you’re not willing to shoot?

He was following the directions of the director and everybody involved, including the woman who died, agreed to do the scene. She wasn’t just some random person on set, she was behind the camera because she was the director of photography.
If she didn’t feel the scene was safe to film, she had the right to say no to using a realistic prop. This is an obviously sad incident. But Manny people were found or pleaded guilty to the events. Baldwin just isn’t I’ve of them. Actors can’t be expected to be experts and have to defer to experts on set all the time.
