Any firearm that has a powder charge has to be treated as a real weapon, meaning you treat it as a loaded weapon and don't fucking point it at people.
I can't imagine this is like the Crow, where Lee was killed when a bullet had accidentally lodged in a revolver barrel and was then propelled into his body when the same gun was fired at him in a scene. But in what scene would a gun be pointed at the cinematographer? Seems more likely that Baldwin was goofing off with the gun. Also, there should be a prop guy overseeing firearms on set. I wonder where he was when this happened. [Reply]
acting is no excuse for manslaughter. Name any other situation where the person that fires that shot doesn't get charged with something.
Dick Cheney famously shot his hunting partner. Cheney wasn't charged with anything, for good reason. And the hunting partner actually apologized to Cheney and his family for all the inconvenience Cheney had to go through. [Reply]
