don t fire themselves. and if he said it didn t aim it at a new buddy, well, certainly it had to be aimed at somebody else it wouldn t have hit somebody. so he is either lying or was there another gun involved, perhaps? where do we go with this? it s hard to believe. and if alec baldwin thinks this somehow absolves them for potential criminal culpability, he is sorely mistaken. the issue is not whether he pulled the trigger or the gun went off accidentally, which is hard to believe, because this isn t an intent crime that is being investigated, it is a gross negligence crime. so prosecutors are focusing not on the trigger pull, but on the handling of the gun by baldwin prior to the shooting incident. was he grossly negligent and reckless? did he fail to exercise due caution as the law requires to ensure the safety of others? so what is the standard in the industry for actors using guns on the set.

incomprehensible decision by this judge. a judge can be influential on juries. by your read, is the judge assigning criminal culpability to the victims here? jim, he s definitely signaling something to these jurors. in addition to not allowing them to be called victims, he also has allowed in this video tape showing the police giving water to people like rittenhouse, suggesting again they were there with the approval of the police, and the prosecutors fought really hard to keep that evidence out. again, that doesn t have anything to do with rittenhouse s conduct on that day. it definitely suggests that this judge is leaning toward supporting the defense being put forward for rittenhouse. that s very sad, given that this all erupted because jacob blake was shot by police. those police haven t been held accountable. rittenhouse appears to be getting pretty favorable treatment so far. hard to wrap your head
