Definitely in my 20s… but unfortunately probably in my 30s too, yeah

Oh I bet you have done a lot of stupid sh1t in your life. As have I.

Murder 2 is generally a purposeful but not premeditated killing

That’s a fair point

I am not sure I would, tbh. He’s got young kids that could be without their dad for a few years, a wife without her husband. Maybe they end up in financial ruin. And does it make anything better? All because, as an actor on a movie set, he assumed the gun he was handed would not be loaded with live focking ammo? I dunno man, that would be a mighty bitter pill to swallow. I bet the trolls will come after me, but if it was theirselves and their own family at stake (if they have families ), rather than a famous liberal, Trump-hating celebrity, they might sing a different tune

Would you fess up and possibly go to prison if you were him? Be honest. And let’s assume it’s just that he did pull the trigger but had absolutely no specific way of ever knowing or suspecting that there could be live ammo in the gun. It’s an interesting ethical dilemma, imo.

You think he loaded the live ammo and killed them on purpose? I mean, he is a hothead, so I wouldn’t put anything past him. Especially if there’s anything indicating a relationship gone wrong or advances refused or something like that. But so far we have never heard of anything like that and even now he’s only being charged with involuntary manslaughter

It was possibly dumb of him to claim he hadn’t pulled the trigger. It seems like that just lacks credibility. But I dunno, maybe the defense of “yeah I pulled it but I never thought there was live ammo in it” doesn’t quite get you there under the law

That’s interesting. Usually this would mean a decent theory for innocence has emerged. But I hope they’re not just doing this for the publicity

Seems this is why: After Ms. Reeb stepped down, and a judge ruled that the district attorney could not appoint a new special prosecutor to work on the case without stepping down herself, Ms. Carmack-Altwies handed the case off to a new team of prosecutors, Ms. Morrissey and Mr. Lewis. They dismissed the original charge against Mr. Baldwin after receiving new evidence indicating that the gun may have been modified in a way that could have made it easier to discharge without the trigger having been pulled. They reserved the right to recharge Mr. Baldwin after sending the gun for further inspection. A new forensic report written by Lucien C. Haag determined that Mr. Baldwin must have pulled the trigger, finding that the gun needed two pounds of pressure to fire. But in order to conduct the testing, Mr. Haag had to replace parts of the gun, which had been damaged by the F.B.I. during its own analysis. That complication is certain to be raised by Mr. Baldwin’s defense, who have called the revived prosecution “misguided.”

He’s being re-charged A grand jury in New Mexico indicted Alec Baldwin on Friday on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, reviving the criminal case against him in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer more than two years ago on the set of the film “Rust” when a gun he was rehearsing went off, one of the prosecutors said. The grand jury issued the indictment on Friday, according to Kari T. Morrissey, who was assigned to the case last year with her colleague Jason J. Lewis after the local district attorney’s initial prosecution against Mr. Baldwin fell apart and the initial charge was dismissed. The indictment, which came exactly one year after the initial involuntary manslaughter case against him was announced, was the latest reversal of fortune for Mr. Baldwin. In New Mexico, an involuntary manslaughter conviction on a charge like the one Mr. Baldwin faces carries up to 18 months in prison.

That’s awesome, congrats on your success

I gave y’all something to think about on those corporate tax breaks. Maybe internalize it

Y’all are aware that the only feature of the Trump tax cuts that were made permanent were for corporations, right? The others expire at the end of next year. But yeah, that Trump guy is a real hero of the working class

The entire team sh1ts the bed in the playoffs, every year. I don’t think you can hang that on Dak alone. Clearly there is a top-down issue

Well we don’t need to argue that the tax cuts for mega wealthy corporations added trillions. That’s just a fact, and it didn’t have a G0d damn thing to do with COVID. HTH

Bakers stats actually don't support that claim at all

Sounds like a sexual thing … but we know it ain’t oral

That doesn’t even make sense, peefoam

INTERNET TOUGH GUY!!!

Not as much as you love little boys

Huge L for the MAGA types here

Yeah he’d regret that if I cared enough to dig up the posts

Shows you lack objectivity. Not that anyone was in the dark on that
