[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Baldwin is an ass but I think this is a really bad precedent for anyone that works with equipment that might be dangerous.  If the person at your place of employment who is responsible for safety tells you something is safe to use in the way you are supposed to use it for work, and it turns out that they are incompetent and you kill someone because the item was not in fact safe….should you go to jail? No.  Acting is unusual in that a gun is a tool of the trade but many people work with equipment that can be fatal if not properly maintained or inspected.  If he was a miner and the explosives went off wrong because someone else loaded it wrong, we would t blame him—we’d blame the person responsible for loading the explosives.

He’s a jerk and he does himself no favors with his matyr act but I don’t think he’s criminally liable here.[/quote]

People are held liable for negligence all the time.

He was one of the producers, not some teenage extra just doing what he was told. So he was responsible for the entire circumstance that he created. Up to and including not checking the weapon before he fired and shot two people. [/quote]
