    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Alec Baldwin is guilty of at least negligence with a firearm, although I’d go for manslaughter.

    Being an actor doesn’t absolve you of all responsibility. Anyone else who accidentally kills someone else get charged with manslaughter. The fact that the public doesn’t see this obvious fact proves the stranglehold the rich have on American ideals. In any other professional job if I killed someone accidentally, whether it be with a gun, a car, or my own two hands, I would expect to atleast get tried for it.

    That and Mr Baldwin straight up LIED about how it even happened. He told a story of the gun firing itself that several firearms experts, including the agency that was investigating, all said is impossible on the model of firearm he had. Yet everyone believes he shouldn’t be charged.

    If you had nothing to worry about, you wouldn’t lie. He lied because he knows he didn’t do his job.

      I realize you hate the actor for whatever reason, but the fact of the matter is in the article you won’t read.

      Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case on the third day of the trial, after learning that the prosecution had failed to turn over key evidence — a cache of bullets — to the defense. The judge blasted Morrissey’s handling of the case, calling it “so near to bad faith as to show signs of scorching.”

          Wonder if there’s been any money transfers to the prosecutor from the Baldwin family…

            That’s not how corruption works in US but if there transfers, there would not be a trace.

            Generally, treating an elite parasite “fairly” will expedite the career of the prosecutor

            He gets to make a good name in the proper circles.

              I was just wondering if the loss of reputation would prevent career progression, and therefore if money would have been needed for this kind of treatment.

                Peasants will forget the prosecutors name. They don’t care about public perception eitherway. You get promoted by being a good servant to the regime.

                They could give two fucks about what person class thinks with a few exceptions like luigi case.

                Making powerful friends is the name of the game. Stepping on peasants is how you get ahead.

          The prosecutor never wanted to prosecute because… some vague reason in your head?

          I recommend spending time with your family the next couple of days.
