Charges against Alec Baldwin dropped based on the "I Am Special and From Hollywood" legal doctrine.

There should never have been live rounds on a movie set, period.

I don't blame the actor, it's an armorer's responsibility to keep live rounds offset.

LOL Same pattern its called personal responsibility LOL.
Say that really tics you off, NMED fined him $136,793 , ''knew firearms safety procedures were not being followed'' Personal responsibility is a ''mystery'' to you ?'' Sounds like it

Everything is simple when you are eh?

I was a sniper. I understand firearms and I understand how mistakes happen if you wait long enough when even the best trained people are tired or distracted.

Bizarre that the actor firing the gun isn't required to do a final check on a firearm . Apparently about 11 actors - actresses have been killed this way.

In the hundred years of motion picture making that pretty much started with shoot-em-ups, they got this down to a science. Actors can be squirelly mofos. Anybody who wants their life in the hands of someone who is as a matter of the art often times zoned out into a character role as the prop is provided has been determined over time not to be the most prudent final check. Hell if ya gonna go that route, let the procedure call for the armorer to hand the prop to the aim-ee, the target for final Ok, lol.
Lawyers will start with the Prop guy and then find the deepest pockets available behind him, like the company who vets and pays him, and on up the line. Baldwin made a baaaad move aiming at someone not even in the movie, but he might have been practicing a scene or somesuch.

When my hand goes into a fist like it just did with me picturing smashing Murray's skull/shell it's time to take break and make some lunch.

You need some anger management classes, I can google one near you in Canada.

No, people should just not make me angry. I'm 2m tall and 127Kg.

BTW, don't get your hopes up, I'm only seeing this through the glitch.

I'm looking, seems the same as ever.

The mic boom does mean they are filming and his actions are scripted.
