Innocent Until Proven Guilty...

...but the victims deserve their day in court.

BREAKING: Santa Fe DA to charge Baldwin, armorer in "Rust" shooting for involuntary manslaughter

Dan Abrams: Prosecutors ‘Threw the Book at Alec Baldwin’

Please, Just Shut Up.

Alec Baldwin calls for police officers on movie sets to supervise gun safety.

I can recall three negligent firearm's deaths on movie sets over the last thirty-seven years: Jon-Erik Hexum, Brandon Lee, and Baldwin's fuck up. Police Officer envolved negligent discharges resulting in a death drawf that puny number. Trust me Ale, you don't want police officers as safety officers on movie sets. Granted, cops handle weapons a lot more and under more trying circumstances than actors do, but set armorers seen to be doing a credible job, with a exceptions, keeping the crew and actors safe from random gunfire on movie sets. Alec, what you need to do is follow what I hope is your attorney's advice, and shut up and stop trying to deflect your responcibility for what happened.

Rule #4: Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.

The officer who escorted Steele to her home reportedly tried to break up the altercation, and while he was attempting to intervene, the family’s dog reportedly approached. The officer allegedly felt threatened by the dog and pulled out his gun to shoot it. As he fired shots at the dog, one of them reportedly hit the 34-year-old mother in the chest.

I would think the charge should be involuntary manslaughter or the local equivalent, but I'll not hold my breath.

When a child is injured or killed...

...because the child was able to lay hands on an unsecured firearm it’s not the fault of gun owners [with the exception of one], the gun lobby, or even the gun itself. It is the fault of the negligent individual who left it unsecured where children could find it, play with it, and kill with it. The death of a child is always a tragedy but put the blame where it belongs. Enough of this collective guilt bullshit. Linoge has more.
