While I was gone - The Alec Baldwin fiasco

I decided I wasn't going to link to anything about his charges being dismissed seeing as there 's nothing new I can add. Every single news site I went to ran the story for a couple days until another fucking lunatic stole his spotlight Saturday night, which is another event I won't link to here for the same reason - everybody already knows the story.

I will say this about Baldwin, though: he got away with manslaughter - not because he was innocent, but because of prosecution mistakes. Had they done it correctly, he'd have been found as guilty as the armorer on the set due to unsafe gun handling practices on his part.

Oh well. His criminal trials are over, now he faces the lawsuits. I hope they bankrupt him. This revelation here sure isn't going to help him any:

A former 'Rust' prosecutor who resigned prior to the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case has spoken out about her decision and the actor's 'reckless' behavior on set. 

Erlinda Ocampo Johnson, who stepped down just before the charges were thrown out, claims to have seen evidence of Baldwin engaging in 'horseplay' with the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

This alleged horseplay included Baldwin using another person as a target for blanks, according to Johnson.
