Should Alec Baldwin Be Charged With a Crime?

[Suave]

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.

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.

There may be some of that, but I suspect it's fueled more by the fact that it involves "liberal Hollywood" and guns. There's no way they're leaving that alone.

 

[Revoltingest]

Therefore a thread celebrating...a gun related tragedy is the correct thing to do.

Perhaps you're here to do that.
But don't presume that the rest of us share your motive.

The OP lacks authority to persecute Baldwin.

You don't need legal authority to persecute people, only to prosecute them.

That's gonna be a popular shirt because of the irony of
a gun control advocate killing someone with a gun
because of irresponsible acts.

The shirt's message isn't useful. But the situation
does illustrate the necessity of more useful regulation.

So you too are supporting the claim that Baldwin is being
persecuted, eh. Baldwin doesn't even know of the OP's
or RF's existence, so I guarantee he won't feel persecuted
by the message you infer. No need for your apologetics.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

Any evidence for this theory?

The best link, I think, is that Trump recently sold his supporters gear saying something along the line of "Guns don't kill people - Alec Baldwin kills people."

This hardly supports the claims that Baldwin is being persecuted.

We don't have to make all the same connections, you and me, but Trump already didn't like Baldwin due to his SNL impersonations.

 

[Bodie]

Yes, but I'm not going to indulge somebody doesn't seem interested in a good faith discussion.

They don't call me "good faith" Bodie for nothing so go ahead, it seems a cop out from here.

The prosecutor mulling charges is a democrat

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

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.

Then it is relevant as per the law. Now if you want guilt by in the end mob, you can do that.

You got all this from two links to an online dictionary pointing out you were using the wrong word?

So what if Trump hates Baldwin.
How is Baldwin being persecuted because of this?
As I see it, he's being treated as just someone part
of the investigation. And this investigation is necessary.
After all 1 person died, & another was injured in a
shooting. The cops cannot ignore this.

You're defending the claim that Baldwin is being persecuted.
I've said he shouldn't be prosecuted. But I see no evidence
he's being persecuted. Learn the difference between the 2
concepts.
I know that English can be difficult for foreigners. But with
effort, you'll eventually get it down.

I'm a little lost now. I'll have to reread the thread and see if there was some missing context from someone else's post to you, that I skipped over.

Baldwin shoots & kills a woman.
Somehow, it becomes about the evil of Trump.
And Baldwin is being unjustly persecuted.

 

[Kooky]

You're defending the claim that Baldwin is being persecuted.

I am not, and I challenge you to demonstrate your claim with a link to a relevant post of mine.

Come on. Show me where I was "defending the claim that Baldwin is being persecuted".
I predict that you will not be able to do so, but I like to see you try.

 

[Subduction Zone]

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

I do not think that you are interested in justice.
