Agreed, but I doubt anyone will face criminal charges....and I'm okay with that. But I definitely see a litany of lawsuits against Baldwin the Actor and Baldwin the Producer for the egregious safety lapses. And I won't consider justice to be truly done until Baldwin loses his SAG membership.From everything I’ve read about this shooting:
1) the “gun wrangler” was not allowed within the filming space where the shooting took place.
2) the “gun wrangler’s gun cart“ was not allowed within the filming space where the shooting took place.
3) an Assistant Director picked up a pistol from the “gun wrangler’s cart”.
4) it has not yet been reported whether “the gun wrangler“ was present, or whether “the gun wrangler“ approved, when the Assistant Director picked up a pistol, from a number of pistols, from the “gun wrangler’s gun cart”.
5) it has not been reported whether this Assistant Director was approved as a “second gun wrangler” for this movie location either before or after workers walked off the filming site over wage and safety disputes.
6) this Assistant Director was the individual who announced “cold gun” as he presented the pistol to Baldwin.
7) their is zero reporting, including Baldwin’s statements, that Baldwin inspected the “reportedly cold gun” before he initiated his personal sequence of actions that resulted in his lethally firing the pistol.
8) historically a “prop gun” is a “range of firearms/weapons owned by “the movie/show industry” solely for the purpose of use within movie/show production. The “prop guns” are lethal firearms ranging from muzzle-loading-single-shot-pistols to modern-military personne, aircraft, and shipboard weapons of all varieties.
9) while it is possible that “the movie/show industry“ does currently utilize rubber or plastic “non-firearm firearms“ in some production situations, there are zero reports of “non-firearm firearms” being physically present at the filming location or more specifically located on the “gun wrangle’s gun cart”.
The how and why the lethally loaded pistol was residing upon the “gun wrangler’s gun cart” outside the filming space has not been reported.
So far the two fully-negligent-individuals within this situation are Baldwin and the Assistant Director as neither inspected the “prop gun” to assure that it could be safely utilized within the filming location without the opportunity for a lethal consequence.
From my perspective both individuals should be criminally charged for their negligent actions that resulted in the shooting death of one individual and the wounding of a second. Other individuals can be charged and/or more severe charges can be levied as the sheriff’s office investigation dictate.
Yes I understand about “assumptions“. That said, the two above paragraphs are inline with the real world; a) comports with statements from the sheriff office, the Assistant Director, and Baldwin himself. And
b) is what, at a minimum, any of us would be charged.
