We have it all archived you absolute cuntbrain.
Also the irony of Baldwin saying that someone else's comments didn't help the situation when his own comments collectively amount to a signed confession.
It's because they believe they're untouchable. Because of media control, you can make a hit and run an unfortunate accident involving alcohol or drugs, go to a cushy rehab center and lay low for a while, then make a return.
Social media and the internet, for all its cons, means instant fact checking and archiving.
Reminder that "Kaitlynn" Jenner killed a woman and got away with it.
And Matthew Broderick.
So if she was a diversity hire...
And he hired her...
You are correct, he wasn't the director. But, given that (in addition to being the lead actor) he was also involved with the story of the film, was one of the producers and described the film as a passion project of his Baldwin was incredibly heavily involved in it.
Given that there had been several gun safety issues previously on the set, yes. Given that some reports (don't know if they are confirmed or not) say that crew were using that gun - and others - for shooting cans during lunch right before the shooting, yes. Given that they were using a gun capable of actually firing, yes.
Oh, and he could also have just followed gun safety 101, which includes things such as "never point the gun at someone unless you're willing to shoot him", "always check your backstop" and "don't pull the damn trigger unless you're comfortable destroying whatever the gun is pointing at"
I'll agree that, by all accounts, the armorer was sloppy if not incompetent. Does she deserve some of the blame? Quite possibly. But, even if the live round was entirely her screw-up, what Baldwin did should never have been done. There is ZERO reason to ever point a gun at someone's chest and pull the trigger unless you want that person dead.
You seem to be being very loud that you don't know how movies work.
Both can be liable for the same incident. People make a stink about people like Alec Baldwin because there's always a subtle expectation that they'll get a lesser sentence than they deserve if not let off entirely because of their status. By the sound of it, Alec was likely criminally negligent at best.
Actually, by law, if you do not independently verify that the gun is cleared and end up shooting someone you are liable. This is why he fake cried and said he never pulled the trigger in his media appearance. He wants you to believe the gun just went off without action on his part.
"Stupid Gun" - Alec Baldwin, Life is Strange
Yes, you fuckwit. It's number 1 rule of handling a weapon. Always assume that it's loaded. What is wrong with you?
The person handling the gun was the assistant director, not the armourer.
He's really working overtime to convince people he's not guilty of killing someone.
And Alec thinks the internet isn't forever.
Alec Baldwin vs. George Cooney.
No matter who loses, we all win.
Actions a Totally Innocent man would take :P
