Apparently Baldwin killed someone with a "prop gun"? Why would a movie set use a real gun as a "prop gun"? Even if they did use a real gun, why the hell would it be loaded? This sounds more like Baldwin being careless with a firearm than it sounds like a prop accident. Even if I saw something that looked like a gun, the last thing I would do would be to point it somewhere and start pulling the trigger. Think Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter?

He's a prog. Progs don't get prosecuted. Criminal laws are applied differently now, depending on political views.

Is Baldwin a Dem? I just though he was a douchebag.
At any rate, it would make more sense to wait for more information on what actually happened. This isn't exactly the first time someone's been killed with a prop gun. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

Charge Baldwin with what? Nowhere near enough information to even suggest he did anything wrong or negligent.

Unconfirmed, but I'm seeing some rumblings about unsafe working conditions and workers quitting from the set of the movie they were working on. Sounds like these workers may have been replaced by non-union workers the day of the accident.

Doesn't matter who's at fault in this ACCIDENT. Either way, the victim's family will be well off. I'd stand in front of a Baldwin all day if I knew my family would be taken care of when he fuggs up again. And you know he will

Actors do not handle props off set unless they are under supervision/training. SAG follows strict rules about this stuff and what actors can and cannot do. This happened to Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son. However, he was on the bullet end of the accident and died. The DA for the case said the production company for The Crow was negligent but they did not follow through with any charges. Most likely something similar happened.
Here is was happened on the set of The Crow: Hollowed-out cartridges are often used to film close-ups of a gun being loaded; the "dummy" cartridges are then supposed to be removed and replaced with blanks before being fired. The police investigation into Lee's death concluded that a tip of one of the cartridge's bullets broke off from the cartridge and lodged in the gun, then fired at Lee along with the blank. |

Who aimed the gun and shot through one person and wounded another? If it was a western film a cowboy load (.45LC) is doubtful to penetrate that much!

Not how it works on a large production. Prop experts are in charge of safety. Actors do one thing, act. Sure they can produce, direct and act but when it comes to weapons they always have and hire advisors. Lots of contracts release the actor from such liabilities as well. As far as killing, doesn't seem you know the power of guns. Brandon Lee died to a blank round with a piced inside because it was not previously cleared properly. I'm sure you will make conspiracy theories though. It's what you do. |

It was a real gun, not a prop.
Since it was a real gun, it should have been handled like a real gun. Baldwin learned the hard way what I was told and taught when I was 4 years old, "There is no such thing as an unloaded gun." That is, treat the gun like it is loaded even if you know it isn't. Anyone not doing this is a MORON! ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

That's not how it works legally and contractually. It's considered a prop real or not. You know nothing about film production. Don't even try.

Where Baldwin can get in trouble is on the producing end. He was one of the producers of the film. If he is linked to the cutting corners and the friction with the crews that are in charge of this, and hiring of the replacement crew which led up to this, he can very well be charged with something.

Yeah criminal and civil negligence isn't going to come from the firing of the gun but the process through which that faulty prop ended up on set.
