I mean he shot that woman and killed her as far as I know, are there more details I'm not aware of?
in reply to realcaseyrollins

Ah. Ok. I mean, I'm of the opinion that he has every reason to believe he wasn't going to shoot her when he pulled the trigger.

But I just wasn't sure if you were misunderstanding the headline or if you were in the camp of punish everybody all the time.

in reply to ursakhiin

That's true, it sort of seems like negligent homicide to me.

I always thought that killing someone, even on accident, is against the law.

in reply to realcaseyrollins

Personally, I just don't think Baldwin is the one who deserves the charge. There were people on set responsible for ensuring his gun wasn't loaded. Those people failed in their job.
in reply to ursakhiin

But wasn't Baldwin not even supposed to be shooting at the person he killed? If he had shot someone he was supposed to fire a blank at, I understand. Aren't you supposed to practice gun safety even with replicas? Don't point at anything you're not willing to shoot?
in reply to realcaseyrollins

He was following the directions of the director and everybody involved, including the woman who died, agreed to do the scene. She wasn't just some random person on set, she was behind the camera because she was the director of photography.

If she didn't feel the scene was safe to film, she had the right to say no to using a realistic prop. This is an obviously sad incident. But Manny people were found or pleaded guilty to the events. Baldwin just isn't I've of them. Actors can't be expected to be experts and have to defer to experts on set all the time.

in reply to ursakhiin

Ah I see. That makes sense then. I didn't know she was behind the camera when she got shot.
in reply to realcaseyrollins

It was on a movie set where it is to be reasonably expected that the armorer will clear weapons to be safe on set and that actors aren’t expected to be firearms experts so that they are able to perform with them.

It should also be expected that said armorers do their job as expected and NOT shoot real ammo out of prop guns. And if they do, they’re expected to properly clear them; even though they never should in the first place.

But yeah, this was totally about Alec Baldwin the elite bourgeois flexing his real ultimate power of wealth and crushing the matter-nothing proletariat, the people have lost once again because he was not held accountable for someone else’s actions.

I’m all for eating the rich but let’s not just make shit up, that makes us look ridiculous.

in reply to 4am

A really cheesy way to put it but I generally agree. However I don't think that Alec Baldwin pressured the prosecutor to back off, I think the prosecutor didn't want the smoke from other entities like Baldwin's managers or business partners, or Alec Baldwin's fans

I'd say the real first is Signal tbh, but not taking anything away from SimpleX

He specifically articulates the problem with Signal in the talk which is collection of metadata (phone numbers).

Jag har läst flera artiklar i Flamman om kristen tro som tycks utgå från att det finns en nykristlig trend i Sverige. Till och med inom vänstern. Det är helt enkelt dumheter. Vilket Petter Larsson mycket tydligt visar i en artikel i Aftonbladet

Vänsterpartiet syns inte och hörs inte. En orsak till det är att partiledningen bestämt sig för att ligga lågt så att de kanske på nåder kan få en plats vid köttgrytorna och ingå i regeringen. I det läget går det inte att säga nåt som retar upp sossarna. Vilket idag betyder att det inte går att säga nåt alls.

Pro Tip: If you want to really annoy Windows git users, just put some on Windows "illegal characters" in the filenames before committing. It is even funnier, if the git server has no UI where it could be fixed quickly.

How Putin won the Romanian election


Politico clarifies that the overwhelming majority of votes were cast for Calin Georgescu not because of a sudden love for Russia, as is generally presented in the West, but because of the deep disappointment of the residents of the Balkan country with their authorities.

“People have developed this idea that everything is manipulated anyway, everything is decided behind closed doors and what you see and who you vote for is much less important,” she said. “People’s perception is that political life and institutions are dominated by these murky networks of interest … I think to a large extent that perception is correct.”


said Oana Popescu-Zamfir, director of the Bucharest-based Foreign and Security Policy Analytical Center.
