[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope Baldwin also gets found guilty and sentenced, but I know he won't. He always gets off clean.[/quote]

I have no love for Baldwin but there is no way I would hold an actor responsible for firing a gun that was supposed to be empty of live ammo, or throwing a dummy grenade that turned out to be real, or stabbing someone with a blade that was supposed to retract. This was a movie set and Hall or the armorer handed him a loaded weapon and told him it was safe to fire. The jury will not convict him. [/quote]
I agree. And I think he pulled the trigger because he didn’t think it was loaded. It was not supposed to be. (I know he says he didn’t pull the trigger). [/quote]

Every gun is a loaded gun until you verify otherwise. Any responsible gun owners on the jury, and he's toast if that's the defense [/quote]

I don’t think actors should be responsible for safety of props. Bur anyone who was responsible for prop safety, or for hiring the people responsible for pop safest should be held accountable.  He may be liable as producer, but not actor. 
But there needs to be a trial to make these determinations. [/quote]

Then the answer is not to use guns as props. Guns are deadly weapons. If you don't want to be responsible for guns, then just a fake gun, as most movie sets do.  But Alec insisted that this particular gun be used, so he is responsible for the decision to have a gun on set.

Imagine I'm an airline pilot and I explain that it's okay for me not to use all the required safety protocols because planes now are basically drones that fly themselves. I'm just here for the captain hat and the view. Safety is on other people, like the plane manufacturer and the mechanics. Because airplanes are capable of flying themselves- I'm just there because it needs a captain. It's up to the plane to fly itself and the mechanics to ensure that it does. So it's not my fault for not doing the safety things. It's the mechanics fault for not doing their job that makes sure I don't have to do my job. [/quote]
