Alec Baldwin Rust trial to begin this week

[postman]

He should check the pistol for rounds, it is his responsibility to check it. If he got careless and assumed something then he is guilty of negligence, dummy rounds should have holes drilled in them, and they may or may not have primers. I

As I pointed out before. Chuck Norris was handed a hand grenade, which he pulled the pin on.
Was he supposed to inspect it? And what was he looking for in a hand grenade?

And on shows from the A-team, to Dukes of Hazzard, you see them lighting sticks of dynamite all the time.
What is the actor supposed to look for in a stick of dynamite?
And the movie The Goonies. Where you have preteen actors lighting a stick of dynamite. What were they supposed to be looking for?

Actors are handed things far more dangerous than a prop gun, and they light the fuse / pull the pin without knowing if the object is real or fake, because as a replica, it looks just like the real thing.

Explain their safety obligation

 

[postman]

i'd go for "manslaughter" on the basic gun safety violation.

How would you rule, if a prop master handed an actor a real stick of dynamite, and had them light the fuse and throw it?
And it explodes killing or injuring half the crew.
What would be the actors responsibility in that situation?

handing baldwin a stick of dynamite is like giving trump the nuclear codes. but

if the actor had some reasonable expectation that the damn thing is fake, he still should have , well, made sure the damn thing was fake.

the first thing i do when "handed" a weapon is check the chamber and magazine.

next i do not point it at anyone unless i intend to shoot them .

You can tell a real stick of dynamite from a replica stick of dynamite?

What's the difference that you're looking for?

 

[postman]

This is the amazing part. You expect actors to tell the difference between real and replica items that are intentionally made to look just like the real thing.

 

[marvin martian]

what was the charge again?

i'd go for "manslaughter" on the basic gun safety violation.

what would kick it up to murder ? "mean to trump? "

No one is suggesting a murder charge. That's the kind of stupid shit people like you do when a cop is forced to shoot a suspect. The prosecution in the Baldwin case actually wants to get a conviction, not just media attention.

The gun Baldwin used to kill an innocent woman was not a replica.

So what would have been the difference if Alec was handed a stick of dynamite by the prop master, and told to light it?

And it turned out to be REAL.

hty. maybe a regulation to label the damn thing. maybe a big international orange

"fake dynamite. total yield 0.0 kilotons"

or an international symbol of somekind.

i really don;t know fake dynamite, but if you him a few bars i might be able to fake the chords.

i get all my dynamite from the acme corporation. here is another satisfied customer,

Any such marking would be intentionally as inconspicuous as possible. That only an expert would know what to look for. Remember, these are props made for the movies, to look real on the big screen, not items to be sold to the general public.

i've got a $ 100 that might fool yu in the dark. it is perfect size shape color printing but

that is loujis b mayer on that mgm reserve note.

the only fake grenade i've seen was tooled into a butane lighter. might explode in the furnace . who knows.

And it turned out to be REAL.

Your desperation to defend a man who pointed a gun at an innocent woman and pulled the trigger is truly pathetic.

If this was Eric Trump, you would be baying for blood. But your "gun control" stance goes right in the toilet when you smell the opportunity to keep a fellow Trump-hater out of jail.

Can you spot the difference?

I'm just pointing out in the movie business, there are far more potentially dangerous things they have the actors do. Like hand grenades, or sticks of dynamite. That they casually light or pull the pin on every day.

Yet they're not expected to examine the props, and be experts at telling the difference between real, and movie replicas..

is the handle blue or is that an optical delusion?

 

[postman]

Real or fake?

 

[postman]

is the handle blue or is that an optical delusion?

If you're going by the color of the handle to tell the difference, then you're a can a spray paint, away from killing yourself.

 

[marvin martian]

Real or fake?

Would you take the chance of putting those in a gun, pointing it at an innocent woman, and pulling the trigger?

 

[rampart]

Can you spot the difference?

these are props from "the longest day. "

i saw a few hand grenades in that movie and never noticed they were marked as props.

does the blue handle indicate gas or armor piercing or something?
