Aaaaand they dropped the charges against him.  …but some animals are more equal than others.

His saving grace, for the moment, is Halls admission and plea deal.  When Halls testified that he presented the gun to Baldwin and declared it safe Halls assumed all risk.  This is due to the standards of assuring safety in these settings.

It is the same as when I am teaching a class.  As an instructor I survey the setting and surrounding area.  I deem and announce what is a safe direction for firearms to be pointed.  If for some reason a firearm is hot and discharges in the safe direction, and a bullet hits someone or something in that direction, I carry the bulk of the responsibility for the accident.  The only items the student would be held accountable for is if they knowingly and willfully fired the firearm contrary to my direction.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Would that make him a pig?

The title of this thread should be changed to, "Baldwin NOT CHARGED".

I once saw a headline that said someone was charged with battery. I couldn't help but chuckle at that.

I've never fully understood that charge. There is, "Battery". Then there is, "Aggravated Battery". Then there is, "Assault & Battery". How can you be charged with, "Battery", without assaulting the person in the process?

A lot of this type of "play on words" legal crap can be associated with the liberals, along with the term, "Assault Rifle" that they so love to throw around.

If I shoot you with a single shot, bolt action, youth "Chipmunk" .22, have I not assaulted you?

Warning! The joke below is in very poor taste. Do not read it under any circumstances.

30,000 women are battered every day in the United States. And I've been eating mine plain.

You didn't read that, did you? I'll be sitting alone in the corner until further notice.

Yep. Any weapon you assault someone with is an assault weapon, right?

The sad parts is there was already 2 nd that happened before all this on set.   As the executive producer he should have at the very least fired the armorer and did a total safety lock down... where is osha in all this?   In my industry most of the deaths are from smaller companies  that have been fined before. 

Sure looks like this is the same thing minus the fines.
