Thank you for saying that.I think if his politics were right wing, the left would be calling for his head and most of you who bring up his politics in the course of assigning blame would suddenly be defending him.
We should avoid ignoring facts or circumstances just to find excise to dislike someone we dislike even more. And we need to recognize CONVENTIONS like checking a firearm's load status are CONVENTIONS. Good idea? Sure, but we know that because we're gun folk. I don't expect a civilian (queue the butthurt) to stand to the side of a door when they knock like I do because they are not in the same business as me.
I don't think Baldwin acted criminally, based on what I have heard about common practice of movie safety. Could things have been done to prevent this? Yes. But he hired an expert to make sure things were safe and THAT person bears the blame IMO, much more so that Baldwin.
I think the master of arms may have acted recklessly, possibly to the extent of a crime, but we still don't know all that much beyond rumors.
Civilly, I would expect both parties, and whoever may have went shooting over lunch or left the live rounds nearby or in the pistol to be paying out some big money and that responsibility will not be decided in court.

I think Baldwin's personal beliefs and politics should be irrelevant. His personality as well IMO are irrelevant. I don't think for one second that a person's guilt or innocence, or their responsibility for a criminal act should hinge in any part on their beliefs, politics, or their personality. Only the facts and evidence of the alleged criminal act and if they were responsible for committing the criminal act.
We should never allow persona bias towards other people to influence our decisions to determine guilt or innocence of another person.
