Good on the DA for bringing charges. Involuntary manslaughter was the appropriate charge, imo, as it was obvious that Baldwan was not intending to kill her, but he didn't do his diligence as producer and last handler of the gun.

Good for Baldwin to learn that “gun violence” is “human violence” and humans get to go to the pokey for it.

I am frankly surprised charges were filed. This is a very heavily Democrat County- 71% for Biden if I recall correctly. Indictment probably never would have been sought if Baldwin just stayed silent.

I don’t know what she is charged with, but charges of negligence is the appropriate charge. It was her duty to prep the gun so that the gun did not represent a threat to anybody else.

It would be same kind of charge if you had the responsibility of strapping down some lumber and you didn’t take proper care to do so and your driver lost his load and it ended up killing somebody.

I just waiting for Alec’s bride, Hilaria, to post a few pics of herself standing on her head (yoga position) and in tears, while one of her toddler sons wipes the tears away with a dishtowel.

Comments from liberals around the net are hysterical. They are defending Baldwin. If it had been Adam Baldwin, they would be screaming for 1st degree murder charges.

They all played roles, but their level of responsibility differs. The armorer failed to do her job, but she didn’t pull the trigger. She can only be charged within the sphere of the consequences of her failing to do her job. Baldwin can’t be charged with negligence, because he didn’t prep the gun. But he can be charged with an offense for not checking the gun and for pulling the trigger.

Eventually, the corrupt DA will quietly drop the charges.

Leftist democrats protect their soldiers. Laws are only to hurt the enemies of democrats.

I agree that a deal will be made that will end without a jail sentence. Maybe a lifetime ban from New Mexico or something along that lines.

They were on a movie set. So how did a real bullet get into the gun in the first place? I will never understand this. People filming movies never put real bullets in guns. My only conclusion is that Alec for some reason wanted to kill this woman and got a bullet into the gun on his own.
