Should Alec Baldwin Be Charged With a Crime?

[Bodie]

Alec Baldwin use to do the best Trump impersonation for SNL. That is a sin that Trumpistas cannot forgive. Therefore they are abusing this personal tragedy.

So holding someone responsible in some way for causing death intentionally or unintentionally is somehow an abuse of a tragedy?

The OP lacks authority to persecute Baldwin.
How is Baldwin enduring any kind of injustice?
Bear in mind he's not been arrested or charged,
& he was in charge of that **** show that resulted
in death & injury from irresponsible gun handling.

I think if you are handling a gun you are ultimately the one responsible for what happens with it.
Not a good idea to rely on others for gun safety.
Anyway why the hell was he pointing it at a cinematographer?

Sure. I think it all began here:

Donald Trump Jr. is now looking to profit from the Alec Baldwin shooting tragedy by selling T-shirts that state: Guns don't kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people. How disgusting is that!

Of course the investigation is ongoing but in the end no matter who gave him the firearm or who told him what he was the one holding the firearm and was personally responsible for making sure it was unloaded. As unfortunate as it is yes he does bear some responsibility in this IMO, much like a drunk driver that accidentally kills someone.

"All options are on the table," District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said of any potential charges. "No one has been ruled out at this point."
Presenting the department's initial findings, Sante Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said: "We suspect there were other live rounds found on set."

Alec Baldwin shooting: Criminal charges may be filed, prosecutor says - BBC News

"ALWAYS Keep The Gun Pointed In A Safe Direction​

ALWAYS Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Ready To Shoot


ALWAYS Keep The Gun Unloaded Until Ready To Use
If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does."

I don't know really until there's more information. Still I suspect Baldwin bears a lion's share of responsibility.

The district attorney mulling charges is Mary Carmack Altweis- and she is a democrat

It seems that pointing it at the camera was
part of rehearsal....seems....entirely unsure.

I'd never point my .357 magnum revolver at anybody, unless I intended to pull the trigger to shoot at my target. But, that's just me! Perhaps other people play around too much with their firearms.

Well, as long as it is according to the law, then okay.

Should I wear a T-shirt stating Guns don't kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people to the show?

Tasteful.

Do you have a link to Trump JR's website selling these shirts.
Seems kind of odd for the millionaire son of the president would be in the business of selling t-shirts.
Maybe but odd.

I'm not the fashion police, just a poster on RF

Therefore a thread celebrating and mocking a gun related tragedy is the correct thing to do.
Glad we cleared that up.

 

[Bodie]

Apparently it is against forum rules to call a thread mocking the victim of a tragedy and the people involved "goulish". I'll settle for "tasteless and cringeworthy", then.

Whatever fills those balloons you make animal balloons out of

And I still don't think that it is relevant what we think about charges being brought against Baldwin or not.

Can you describe the celebration and mockery?

Can you point to where and in what way you are "holding" anybody "responsible", perhaps adding whom you are "holding responsible" and for what? It's alright to be specific.

I have already stated what my view is, IMO Alec Baldwin does have some responsibility in this since he was the one who had the firearm regardless of who said what or who handed it to him but I am no cop, lawyer, or DA.

So irreverent joke posts on an internet forum are your version of "holding people accountable"?

What exactly are you seeking to accomplish with that method?
