Alec Baldwin Shooting

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

(Bold mine)

And there it is - you don’t want Baldwin punished because he pulled the trigger, you want him punished because he’s a ‘lefty cunt’.

You should be more careful about saying the quiet part out loud.

Want to read shit that isn't there?

It' s more likely you want to forgive his unforgivable act because you love his politics.

Because you KNOW he fucked up.
....

I have not made this about who loves who. 

The way I see it?

If I said he was NOT responsible - you' d be looking for Mr Baldwin' s head on a pike.......

Incidentally - you claim that Mr Baldwin has no legal obligation to ensure that the gun he is using is safe for that use. You have yet to show any such legal ( or moral) precidence.

Why is that? Too inconvenient?

‘Accidental homicide’ (in some jurisdictions, ‘homicide by misadventure) is the killing of a person in what would otherwise have been a lawful act. Since there is no law requiring Baldwin to check the loads (and since it isn’t illegal to fire that gun on a film set) in what he had every reason to believe was a ‘cold’ gun, he’s not legally culpable.

Baldwin has wide experience with prop guns on film sets, and nothing like this had ever happened to him before. He had a reasonable expectation, based on prior experience, that he could trust the on-set armourer/gunsmith to hand him a safed weapon. He is therefore not morally culpable (although I imagine he feels that way).

Now, your job: find me a law that says anytime someone pulls a trigger, they are legally responsible for the consequences. Take your time.

Not for nothing, but the word is ‘precedent’, not ‘precedence’.
