How the gently caress would the FBI have missed something like that, though?

The FBI is more than capable of incompetence it's not just Alec Baldwin

Holy poo poo it's totally a thing, there's even a name for it:quote:A slip gun is a revolver which has been modified to disconnect the trigger from the hammer, so as to cause it to fire by pulling back and releasing the hammer.[citation needed] Often the hammer spur is lowered, so the gun may be fired by wiping one's finger across the hammer. The only difference from fanning is that only one hand is needed, because in fanning one hand holds the gun and pulls back the trigger while the other hand knocks back the hammer repeatedly. I thought the shot that ended up a murder was some 'point the gun right at the wide-angle lens like some ice-cold cowboy poo poo' but it sounds more like it called for fanning the hammer.

didn't read the thread but this is a weird situation. He had many people tell him, this is safe, fire the weapon at her. Alec had no intention to kill that woman, and he had fired a fake gun many times in his career. I honestly don't think it on him, its on the prop guy at best and the producers at worst. Alec was handed a what he thought was a fake weapon, and killed someone with it

So the statute on involuntary manslaughter has a comment:quote:Negligent use of weapon. — A conviction of involuntary manslaughter by negligent use of a weapon requires negligence which is ordinary. I would assume this is what they wanted to base the charge on Baldwin on. There's also a rule on proximate cause of death, basically you can't charge someone for an act that is not directly related to causing death. Baldwin seems to have been negligent in that the whole production was unsafe, but if the question is "was it negligent of Baldwin not to have checked if the gun was hot" and then add in "the gun was modified to slipfire" (if true, not holding breath), which raises the possibility Baldwin *wasn't* lying about not actually pulling the trigger... Yeah, I can see the prosecutor withdrawing charges until more evidence might clarify things. Still going to get properly hosed on civil trial but that doesn't bring anyone back. Edit: the FBI broke the gun testing it? Jesus. And the armorer is claiming the guy she got the blanks from mixed live ammunition in? Yeah, no way Baldwin gets criminal conviction on this whodunit.

Then that cartoonishly evil 2nd AD grappling a random (modified, loaded WITH A REAL ROUND) gun from the cart and calling it ‘cold’. Walkoffs from the Union crew, scabs driving 2 hours each way every day for long shooting days. What a shitshow and a poo poo show. I have no idea what power Baldwin’s vanity producer credit gave him, but I’d really like to hear from anybody that works below the line as to whether he (and for that matter any Union members on the set) were scabbing after the Union people walked and were replaced with non-Union locals. Seems like a real lack of solidarity if nothing else.

Private Cumshoe posted:The FBI is more than capable of incompetence it's not just Alec Baldwin The only 2 things the FBI has ever done well are blackmail and public relations. I’m including “make up bullshit about forensics to convict the innocent”, “murder unarmed people” , and “ignore right-wing terrorists while surveilling the poo poo out of peace activists, civil rights workers, union organizers, and politicians that object to any policy they want” as combinations of the above, as they get away with it. Presumably due to blackmail and PR.

they don't ignore right wing terrorists, they infiltrate them*, provoke them, and enjoy the benefits stochastic terrorism has on maintaining the status quo which is good for FBI business! *they are also, well....
