The thing is if he died Sunday he’d have been replaced by someone less hated and the democrats’s chances in November would become far worse.

The same people who say “get over it” when classrooms full of children are slaughtered are now combing through social media posts to make sure everyone thinks this specific instance of gun violence is the one we need to burn the Constitution over.

Jack’s reaction here is really disappointing. Even if he disagreed with the comment and thought it was in bad taste, throwing your friend and creative partner for decades under the bus to this extent is a big shame.

Sorry but it’s not “hate speech” to wish a fascist was dead. It’s banal and Black is a douchebag for reacting like this.

His enthusiam was beautiful. When other fitness gurus were preaching maximum effort, he encouraged a gentler kind of fitness goal. Slow, steady, sensible, joyful. RIP Richard.

Good. This was a complete farce from the beginning.

I will remember your invaluable legal advice next time I shoot a gun at a condom.

On the set of a movie, it is the armorer’s responsibility to ensure the weapons are safe to use for filming, and that no live ammo is loaded. The actors explicitly trust the armorer with their safety. He “could have” but isn’t expected to. The responsibility to ensure that no live ammo is used falls to the armorer.…

He had no reason to believe the gun wouldn’t fire. It wasn’t supposed to be loaded with live ammunition, period. The responsibility for ensuring there was no live ammo on set and in the device designed as a lethal weapon that was in perfect mechanical condition fell to the AD and the armorer, not Baldwin. SAG-AFTRA…

Per NBC in November of 2023:

Honestly the judge did them a favor. They were about to become a laughingstock as they tried to argue to a jury that an actor was supposed to second guess both an armorer and a set director who yelled, “cold gun”, and somehow determine, with his complete lack of knowledge about guns or ammunition, that the gun was not …

Not a fan of Baldwin (the man, that is; plenty of good performances) but...good. The suggestion that he was responsible for not doing someone else’s job was ludicrous from the beginning.

It’s been noted from the start that this looked like a new DA trying to make a name for herself, and seriously overreaching.

Yeah, it almost felt vindictive and personal. I didn’t think his actions rose to the level of criminality though I can see him being held accountable civilly.

I mean, yeah, anyone following the news can point out how weak and plain weird the prosecution’s case was.

Hello. Be a friend and tell us where this article was linked to for you folks to come a-floppin’ in and start starring each other off so vigorously.

This the kind of incisive analytical skill that the AV Club is losing now that we’re suffering under the thumb of our new Paste overlords.

I can tell without glancing up at the byline that this is Schimkowitz. There’s a ~50% chance any given Schimkowitz article will contain at least one utterly incomprehensible sentence.
