Alec Baldwin's manslaughter charge for 'Rust' shooting won't be dismissed, judge rules

The manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin in the "Rust" film shooting that left a cinematographer dead will not be dismissed after a New Mexico judge denied a request to do so.

Just because you are a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re above the law.

[AnarSchism.]

All he had to do was follow basic common sense gun safety rules.
NEVER POINT YOUR GUN AT SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY

[mr.pizzamarlon]

The saddest thing is he feels no remorse about what happened. He was only concerned about finishing that stupid movie. I hope no one sees it.

[Marvelous-lmnv]

He is responsible for the lady's demise.

[Sundance]

Baldwin must have some accountability. some responsibility in such a tragic, haphazardly managed production. His responses from the start of this tragedy, to date, have been spineless, heartless and void of any true character.

[scottmatthews]

Looks like Danny Masterson might be getting a new cellmate 😂🤣.

[jaspernewcomb]

Maybe they should make a movie about it?

[jonathanhawes]

It was NOT a prop, it was a real gun.

[JamesJohnson-hlpk]

If it is a firearm capable of shooting live ammo it is your responsibility to check it to see if it has blanks or bullet loads.

[silentmajority]

The people saying Alec is not responsible are the same ones wanting training background and mental health checks for the rest of us to own guns
How is the movie industry exempt from gun laws?

[johnlansing]

I believe there was a article that mentioned the young lady was going to produce two documentaries about child trafficking just before the tragic day .

[Dizzybee]

Status shouldn’t keep you from following the laws and punishment like everyone else. You killed someoke Alec. You don’t get to just walk away from that.

[Muksanim]

I am not a Baldwin fan, but I do not think he should have been charged in this matter. The blame lies with the person who was supposed to be sure there was no live ammo in the gun.

[joenewmeyer]

If you don't know how to handle a gun, you don't play with them!

[mamabugs]

This is stupid. The handler has been declared the one at fault.

[Nitaseyboldsault]

He's a loud mouthed bsing obnoxious actor but not a gun expert should actors be trained and licensed in guns and gun handling and safety before using them in a scene uhm YES is the sting coordinator also being sued?

[dtaylor]

Alec Baldwin was in "Knot's Landing". Don't forget to vote Trump

[blattimus]

What a clown. If he’d taken a plea deal he would have avoided jail time.

If he wants to advocate for gun safety on sets, he should stop making terrible b-movies or grow a brain.

[larryp]

He's been a free man all this time while elderly sick men and women are left to rot in D C. jail for trespassing.

Jesus Christ, if this man trusted the help to give him a gun not loaded for the scene, please reveal the truth and set him free . Light be. Amen
