Hate me if you wish, but at the risk of incurring your wraith, I must confess I am puzzled by such vehement condemnation from my fellow freepers. How tragic that there is so great a lack of compassion and a rush to condemnation for a man who accidentally killed someone. I know Alex Baldwin might not return the kindness to a conservative but returning hate for hate puts the good guys even with the bad guys.
No it doesn't. When you are on your knees in front of the trench, and the guy two spaces to your left gets his brains blown out, you will the tell the guy next to you "Oooh. Better not do anything. We don't want to be like them. We don't want to sink down to their level...
Screw Alec Baldwin. I hope he feels guilt and it consumes him until the moment he meets his maker. And then he will REALLY be squirming.
Baldwin was the producer, a position of responsibility and management. He’s had plenty of experience on sets where guns have been handled responsibly. He knows how guns are handled in a typical filming. He, among others allowed orthodox safety rules to be violated. He himself violated all firearm safety rules, AND SQUEEZED THE TRIGGER WHILE POINTING AT SOMEONE. His cavalier attitude and disregard for the safety of his crew allowed this to happen. He wanted to save a buck and hire an inexperienced armorer. Now he has a dead staff member as a result.
Baldwin, the blood is mostly on his hands. An arrogant, prideful, conservative loathing buffoon has killed someone. But I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if it didnt bother him in the least....because it was someone elses fault.
You are defending a very bad actor
Exhibit A - Why we Lose.
This reminds me of what conservatives said in 2007 when an ineligible foreign agent was being installed as president to wit “ I’d rather lose with honor than sink to their level”
And here we are
That attitude is why we’re abused by the bullies, and why we always lose.
But we do retain our sanctimony, so there’s that. /s

This attitude is why Republicans lose elections. I suggest you learn how to fight. Dems know how to hit below the belt and Pubs are always so surprised by this. Offends our delicate sensibilities. Well if Pubs want to continue to exist they better take lessons from Trump and learn the fine art of doubling down.
