Yeah, but none of those other topics are speculating how and why someone died or who should be held responsible!
Anyway, point taken I will click elsewhere....
You're missing the point and this is Not speculation.
"How"- By a gun " why"- because a careless individual pointed and pulled the trigger of said gun
"who should be held responsible" Who else but the person who pulled the trigger and possibly others who had contributable knowledge and mishandling.
My opinion on this, and let me start by saying I am a Florida CCW holder.
Yes everyone, always has to be extremely careful with a firearm...
However, it cannot simply be "an actor is always responsible for a gun in his hand and thus guilty". Under normal circumstances, this pistol is not a gun but just a movie prop (still handled by responsible firearm professionals). For the sake of discussion, what if someone maliciously replaces Adam Driver' lightsaber with a real thing, and someone gets hurt? Is Driver to blame for it - even though [in real life] he might know mothing about lightsaber tech? Or, during Doctor Strangelove's filming, the atomic bomb really goes off - again, should we pin on Slim Pickens - a cowboy-character actor, knowing nothing about nuclear bomb safety?
If Baldwin was indeed involved in some boredom can shooting and was the one who brought (or was aware of) real rounds on the set, then yes he is involved! But that needs to be investigated and determined. But if - as an actor - he was handed a 150 year-old prop revolver with an assurance "it is safe", and all Alec did was "got in the role", then no matter how sad and unfortunate this accident is, I do not see it as "Baldwin is 100% guilty and must go prison".
Even if we accept everything you said, he is still liable.
He pointed and pulled the trigger at someone, people can try and excuse that, but we now know, there was no shooting in any scenes being filmed that day.
People can argue semantics all day long.
It still does not dismiss his responsibility. He was the producer, the actor and his idea to hire this armorer or had the final say. He is the one who ultimately pointed and pulled the trigger, which the scene did not call for. A criminal lawyer could go on further, but those are just a few of the reasons why i have claimed and maintain, at the very least he should be charged with Manslaughter and reckless endangerment.
This does not mean that others a few others should be charged, who also hold some responsibility.
Usually in these cases that make it to the media mainstream, to many folks listen to and take what the media says as some truth, without taking the time to analyze the facts of the case. Yet for some reason, in this case where we know a lot of the facts, people are trying to Over analyze it.
When there are some truth's that no matter how you try and swing it, can't be changed. The victims in this case, absolutely 100% did nothing wrong.
Because of his money, fame, political connections, he may find a way to skirt around any prosecution. But he will lose big time when it comes to the civil suits. The things this man does and says, had it been you or I, we would be locked in a mental institution or worse.
If your reply is, he has done nothing and is a fine upstanding citizen, then you are either biased or haven't done any research.
Manslaughter-the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.
