    Alec Baldwin skipped a mandatory firearms safety training.

    If Baldwin comes up - I hope a lib "explains" that to me. My hunch is that they won't even try. They'll just assume I'm a republican and try to zing me with quip belittling the GOP. Something like "You wanna open carry everywhere. Shut up."

      I used to feel bad for him then discovered he was a producer for that movie and the set had scab workers that did not respect safety standards.

      I really doubt he gonna face any significant punishment anyway.

        Same, felt like it was just a tragic accident at first, the more I learned the clearer it was that while it probably wasn't deliberate, he was incredibly negligent.

          I never thought his Trump impression was any good but I gotta give him credit for committing to the bit

          Not only did he shoot someone and still have people cheering for him like Trump tweeted about himself and his supporters, now he's even getting a trial that won't result in him being punished at all just like Trump's impeachment

          Absolutely hilarious, my compliments to god on this joke of a timeline

        "Producer" doesn't really mean anything, actors often end up with producer credits with 0 responsibilities to get more money than would usually be allowed by the union pay scale. We'd have to know what exactly his contract said to see how much of that he was involved in.

          Apparently it was a long time passion project of his that he had lots of control over. Not just a pat on the back producer credit

      Their on-set armorer(who was only given like 8 full days as a paid armorer) was also directly and unambigously told that she would not be allowed to train the actors any extra once those days were up.
