As such , I avoid extended interactions with libs. Be it work, home, church, walmart. Get in, get what you need done, move on. I sure as hell wouldn't be around any lib with a weapon.
Alec is lucky he didn't shoot himself. .
on a side note, All my lib friends are now former friends. Trump was the cure for liberalism. They went nuts and could no longer control their hateful hidden thoughts, like demons hearing the name of Jesus!
Trump was to libs what salt is to slugs.
However, if he thought it was just a blank, he might have felt it was “safe” to do that.
Remember, the staff person responsible for those guns yelled out loud while handing it to Baldwin that it was a “cold” gun.
There were already issues with “cold” guns on the set, so who knows what Baldwin or anybody else was thinking.
The “devils” argument is that people sometimes think they can get away with stuff they normally wouldn’t. The crook always thinks he is smarter than the detective, and I know Baldwin always thinks he is smarter than anyone else.
âAlan Dershowitz believes that Alec Baldwinâs shooting of Halyna Hutchins could be considered a homicide.â
Any time one human being kills another human being itâs a homicide. The only question is if that homicide was legally justifiable or not.
In Baldwinâs case it Mose certainly wasnât.

So if I intentionally make a lane change in my car, but the other vehicle is in my blind spot because I didnât move my head enough to see properly in the rear view mirror, when I hit the other car itâs not an accident because I intentionally changed lanes?
People seem to be hung up on this idea that itâs not an accident, itâs negligence. Most accidents involve some sort of negligence. Calling the shooting an accident simply means Baldwin did not intend to fire a bullet into those two people. Of course perhaps he meant to but setting that possibility aside he accidentally did so as opposed to intentionally. Thatâs the difference between murder and manslaughter.
“However, if he thought it was just a blank, he might have felt it was ‘safe’ to do that.”
Shoot (no pun intended). Even I know better than to think that a blank can’t hurt someone, since there have been too many incidents reported where that has happened in Hollywood.
Of course, as you say, Baldwin thinks he’s smarter than the cops. I’d love to see him knocked off his high horse, but I have a feeling that won’t happen. His politics protect him.

Spoiler alert: He thinks it's a clear case that Baldwin should be charged with negligent homicide per New Mexico law. Baldwin is the one who did the final action that caused the death and injury--everyone before that might have some part in it, but Baldwin is the one who could have checked the weapon for safety, not pointed it at the target, and not fired it, but he didn't. Maximum jail time for that in NM is 18 months, but he likely wouldn't see that much.
Shucks, even Eddie Eagle level instruction would have saved Baldwin--if you see a gun, stop, don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult! Emphasis on the "adult" part.
Misspelled it:
Should be Arbery, not Aubrey.
I'm not an attorney.
A gun shop I frequent has a policy of keeping any ammo they discover in a customer's gun if he or she claims it's "not loaded".
Scene: Customer hands a gun to an employee, saying "It's not loaded"
Maybe there is not enough criminality in his action to warrant jail time, but his anti-gun spokesman days have to be over. When a 60+ man who has probably gone through the gun handling procedures for movie props dozens of times can't pick it up like millions of basic trainees, he is probably not a credible source.
Probably a very good case to be made for criminally negligent homicide - the only question would that include the idiot Baldwin or the idiot armorer, or both?
Ignored or missed. There is only a need for one protocol. That falls squarely on anyone that touches the weapon.
Did the scene call for him to aim at the camera and director and pull the trigger? No answer yet to that.
Let's hope that this ignorant mistake is by the author, Pandra Selivanov, and not by "one of the greatest legal minds".
They weren’t shot, they were helicopter’d to death.
If I recall, the pilot died too. He was the “trigger puller” in this sense.
I may be wrong ref.the pilots’ death and too lazy to search.

Thank you Col. Sir for your comments. Would you say that definition 2a and 2c does not apply here? If Baldwin’s intention was to make a scary sound for the camera and it ewas not his intention to have anything come out of the barrel? He certainly violated gun-safety rules by pointing the firearm at something that he did not intend to destroy.
I wonder if it is even necessary to do this when filming. How hard could it be to get out of the way? Shoot out the camera lens and not the people. Set the camera going. Get evabody away. Yell “Action!” Actor points and makes the bang sound or add it in after. Yell “Cut!” Go back and see if camera worked. How is this wrong?
I've read the armorer was not allowed inside the building do to Covid protocols . It has been reported she prepared 3 guns and left them on a cart outside of the building so there is a possible chain of custody issue. She may avoid criminal charges, but lawyer fees and civil action will probably ruin her. There have been reports that at least one of the guns was used for target practice. Did she know anything about this? Did she allow it or was she pressured to allow it?
No not extreme but professional
Also, this was 1982... I don’t think we had the concept of “elite” yet
No offense but...are you kidding me??!!!???!!!
