There is a huge difference actually. Alec Baldwin isn't responsible for the death of the actress because he was the actor who pulled the trigger, he's responsible because he was the producer of the film and was ultimately responsible for the insufficient safety controls that led to an actor pulling the trigger on set and firing a live round. It just so happens he was also the actor. Had another actor in the film been the one to pull the trigger, Baldwin still would have been responsible.

But this is a derail of the topic at hand. Just pointing out that the situations are actually quite different from one another, and ultimately not comparable.

The jury is still out on that. The grand jury, that is. It is still an ongoing investigation. There were rumors about a month ago Baldwin may be indicted. Time will tell.

Nice deflection, but there is no difference when it comes to firearms safety. You always assume the weapon is loaded and treat it accordingly. That means you don’t point it at people and you certainly don’t discharge it when you are aware of people down range. The cannon should have never been fired. It doesn’t matter if you warned them. It doesn’t matter if the timing of its firing is important to a ceremony. Safety comes first. If you’re “tradition” trumps safety, then your cannons need to be banned by the league. It’s beyond ridiculous that you guys continue to defend this idiocy.
