Alec Baldwin Shooting -- ‘Rust’ Armorer Convicted of Manslaughter

[d0gbreath]

Retribution? Alec Baldwin killed more people than all of the January 6 rioters. He pulled the trigger and "common sense" would be to verify the gun isn't loaded. That's like shooting 101 for retards.

It's not the same on a Hollywood movie set where all guns are assumed to be loaded with blanks.

If you're shooting a weapon .. you're responsible for what happens down range. If an armorer provided me with a weapon, claimed it was safe, I pointed at you, shot and killed you .. I'm responsible. It's called manslaughter.

Not when the armorers sole responsibility is to hand you a safe weapon. That's what they are hired for. You didn't do anything except what you were instructed to do by a paid professional hired to insure the safety of everyone.

You're working under the assumption he even knows anything about guns and somehow qualified to say what is a safe weapon and what isn't on a movie set.

This isn't his gun on his time. He was on a production set filming and is nothing more than just an actor. He used someone else's gun handed to him by someone that is supposed to be the professional to tell him what is safe and isn't.

Still goes back to the car analogy I gave. If a car on a set malfunctions and someone dies it isn't the fault of the actor driving it simply because they aren't a mechanic and it's their job to inspect all facets of the vehicle for proper functionality before driving it for a movie.

He might be a dick in real life, but that doesn't take away from the fact a armorer gave him a gun that wasn't safe.

Hollywood Democrats haven’t taken shooting 101, not even the retard version.

If it wouldn’t be a foot in the door for other gun confiscations, I’d ban Hollywood using working firearms as movie props. Not like todays CGI heavy films have any realism anyway.

It's actually very common for Real rounds to be used in the making of movies so that actors can practice and get the feel of a gun and how it would work if they were really shooting.

Method acting, eh?

LOL

It's manslaughter .. except where a real gun with live bullets is used on the set and kills someone..

It's not funny.

Its strange that the legal system is almost never curious enough to investigate and indict the person who loads the freaking gun used by someone else in a homicide.
