It's sad. I feel bad for everyone involved.

[Benjamin-zdvq]

the average person would be spending close to a life sentence in prison.. I didn't pull the trigger bull, the gun fired by itself obviously

[Vitamin_jp]

He murdered that girl and just got away with it….

[TRIPLEDIGITS]

That's the kind of attorney that I

[berndtherrenvolk]

So I guess this means he can return to the set of “Rust” and start shooting again.

[Sardonic-Angel]

Still waiting for the shoot'em up SNL skit to drop..

If you have enough money, there is no crime

[stanford-nfjk]

For once I thought a celebrity wouldn’t get away with something a “normal” person wouldn’t. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I hope her family wins a HUGE payout from him in a civil lawsuit!

[saltnessmonster]

So you can murder someone and get away with it if you’re rich. Anyone else creating an unsafe work environment would be in jail

[wadedavid]

Hollywood should NEVER hire BALDWIN for ANY job, AGAIN!

[cteenie]

Someone got paid off to drop these charges. Such BS

[zameion]

If that was me I'd rot in jail forever

[richardnickerson]

Look it is not about who is innocent, who is guilty. It’s about how much money someone has and which lawyer interprets the law the best.

[trollking]

Typical American justice, imprison the director and let the murderer go free.

[treborretsnom]

The production safety was garbage... Honestly it should be a civil case, unless they have a motive?

[pavelyankouski]

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men ? The Shadow knows

[chrisdixon]

Baldwin should be in jail. You don't ever aim a weapon and pull the trigger at anyone ever unless you intend to shoot them.

[kenrobison]

The movie should be scrapped. The husband and children will be traumatized. All for money?

[matthewtanner]

If you actually look into the case,
you realize why the charges are going to be dropped.

[skullohm]

Hmmm i wonder what's going to happen to the charges against the armorer?
