The hypocrisy, stupidity and double standards of the media never fails to surprise me.
In the on going saga of the shooting by Alec Baldwin we have this line in the Herald from the Associated Press
Nowhere ever have I seen the media blame the weapon for killing someone, sure they demonize certain types of firearms but here they really seem to be trying to deflect blame away from one of their celebrity darlings. It’s almost as if the media is trying to influence the narrative rather than report on it. Who’d have thunked it!Quote:
a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin killed a cinematographer

if only american media had the credibility the NZ media has..................:ORLY::ORLY::ORLY:
baldwin and his supporters want us to believe he is a victim ......of all the things he is , victim and stupid are 2 things he is not . he shot and killed 1 person and injured another.....it was not self defence at best it was involuntary manslaughter....but hey its america it may get to trial in 2023 or 2024 the lawyers will keep the gravy train rolling as long as they can
I see the armourer is now suing the supplier of the ammo, for supposedly supply live rounds along with the blanks.
:wtfsmilie:
So they just loaded them and didn't check the pointy ends? I am pretty sure the pointy ends look different. But I guess if you can outsource liability, why wouldn't you.

Theres no way its intentional homicide i reckon.
But thumbing a hammer on a faulty gun whilst knowing it was faulty. Its extreme negligence. Going around misdirecting the narrative by stating he didnt pull the trigger.. that's perverting the cause of justice i feel. So is organising sympathetic interviews so he can platform his defence by media. Its discusting to watch. I have to admit he is an excellent actor and this is his award winning performance

…. Something that Baldwin has done for years……
an update for those who missed it
https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainmen...afety-failures
baldwins take on it now......."he was pointing the gun at Hutchins at her instruction on the New Mexico set of the Western film when it went off without his pulling the trigger."
very much along the lines of anti gun type people blaming the "evil" gun for its role as the slayer of good people.......
this tragedy will be baldwins longest acting role if he pulls it off there might be an oscar in it for him ....... as long as can girlie slap the host
This is more of a WTF, I see amourer is trying to appeal their sentence of just 18 months for their part in someones death. just 18 months cant even do that.
Mixing up live rounds with blanks... You only had one job for f...k sake.
So why did he point it at cinematographer at all...if aiming it properly for a shot towards screen the camera lens would've been hit...so he not only has bad handling practices,his Sim is shit.
Just read an article on this from the states - bit of an update for me really as I wasn't kind of interested enough to really follow it. Seems there's more drama in this than there would have ever been in the thing they were filming - wow is all I can say. Seems to be so many failures in the planning and running of the outfit that it would be hard to actually narrow the blame down to individuals.
It's my understanding that Baldwin is facing charges because he was in charge, he was the boss and has oversight of safety on the set, so the buck stops with him.
Nobody will tell the truth because they will all try and deflect blame, even if it was their fault.
This is like here in NZ where I'm told linemen don't perform repairs on "live" wires anymore because if something happens the directors would be charged, so now the supply has to be isolated before repairs are carried out
So you’d be happy to take a “safe” firearm off a person, point and fire it at another person. I always check every firearm handed to me and will ask the person giving it to me to physically show me it’s safe.
I also go off if a firearm is pointed at me, at anytime, accidentally or not.
