RE: Alec Baldwin 'accidentally' Kills 1 & injures 1

I suspect homicide or reckless endangerment. No one is as fucking stupid as to to point any gun, loaded with blanks or not, at any person for no good reason. When movies are shot and stage guns are fired, it is not really necessary to aim at anyone when firing. When a character shoots another character in a movie from a close distance, the actual shooting is rarely shown with both actors on screen at the same time or with the gun and the victim on screen at the same time. Even when that is done, it is entirely unnecessary to fire the gun because sound effects such as a gun firing or even speech are routinely recorded or created and edited separately.

I suspect this is a case of piss poor gun safety culture providing some asshole an opportunity to cause this either by surreptitiously replacing blanks with live ammo knowing that some clown on set might cause something likes to happen or Baldwin did this on purpose. (How the hell did he manage to shoot two people?)

This, too, looks like a consequence of national gun obsession without most people handling guns ever having received proper training in gun safety or discipline.
