Charges dropped against Alec Baldwin


"Say! This gun isn't loaded with live ammunition, is it?" is not something I imagine any actor saying when handed a prop gun.

Prosecutors have dropped the charges against Alec Baldwin in the accidental shooting on the set of the movie Rust.

After all that, 18 months, and now they say, Never mind.

The DA never had a criminal case against Baldwin, who never intended to shoot anyone. But redneck justice prevailed. Unbelievable. 

I'll mention this again. Several years ago, I heard a podcast with William Akers, a film prof at Vanderbilt University, who seemed quite angry that college kids didn't always use real guns in their student films. BB guns, airsoft or toy guns weren't good enough for him. It annoyed me at the time, but now it seems deranged.
