Surprised they dragged it out this long. He's rich and white, did anyone think this was ever going anywhere else?

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.
