For those of you not in the know, liberal icon Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cameraperson on the set of a film.Now, of course, if it was anyone remotely on the right, he would be charged by DU with multiple murders, racism, sexism, and probably transphobia. Kyle Rittenhouse (pbuh) killed two lunatic freak pedophile/woman beaters and injured a third, then acquitted of murder charges by a jury of his peers, yet DU calls him a "murderer" on a nearly daily basis. So you'd THINK that would imply at least a tongue-cluck from DU. NOPE!

15. There is someone on set who has the job of making sure firearms are safe.
It isn't the actor's responsibility. They aren't trained for that. The weapons masters are.
Unless it's a republican, you mean.

8. A friend of mine who spent her entire career in the biz
Said New Mexico was chosen because a non-union crew could be hired. Also, the producers decided to further cost costs by allowing the armorer (I believe that's the term for gun handler) to double up on other prop duties, something a union set would have never allowed. She likes Baldwin. But also points out that Baldwin was one of the producers.
If they do dispose of Baldwin, using non-union monkeys will be why. Not homicide.
To be fair, SOME DUmmies are calling the charges appropriate. Yet again, were he a Republican, they'd call for his execution tomorrow.
