I’m all for stringing pedos up by the nearest available part but this accusation doesn’t easily pass a smell test on a number of levels, not least the behavior of the parents, both on the set and ongoing.
Also, aside from the accusation itself, this is the same Santa Fe district attorney’s office that prosecuted Alec Baldwin, the same that withheld exculpatory evidence and got his case dismissed, which is the part that everyone knows about because at least the judge was honest. But even before that end there were any number of “irregularities” in the prosecution, not least the number of prosecutors who just flatly quit before they found the one who didn’t, but withheld evidence in her bid to secure his conviction.
So if he’s guilty, string him up. But for the sake of kids who really are being abused and also the occasional accused that really are innocent, I genuinely hope this isn’t just a shakedown.
What I didn’t get about the Alec Baldwin though was why every right winged talking head was on his ass about it. He is definitely civilly responsible, as he cut corners and his a less than experienced armorer. But ffs, after the crow, why are armorers using actual guns on set‽ And why in the fucking fuck was there live ammunition within a mile of a movie set?
But Alex would have had no idea that it was anything more than a prop.
Using gas blowback airsoft models when other people are involved is still plenty authentic enough these days, especially because muzzle flash and smoke is easily added in post at this point if it’s even required.
Modifying for allowing for dry fire is probably not terribly hard to do.
Heck, they’re probably also easier to get exotic designs made for one-off props, too.
As a casual gun enthusiast. I really don’t understand the motivation to use real firearms on movie sets.

That’s the one I can actually answer, lol. I don’t know shit about an armorer’s job on set, but the right wing has had a hardon for Baldwin for years, ever since he mocked their orange lord and savior on Saturday Night Live very effectively, and more than once. Not that anyone’s admitting anything, but given the prosecutor’s own fervent devotion to the orange chancre, political retribution was circulated as her own particular motivation at the time.

Right wing was mad that he made fun of Trump on SNL.

He did so the best impression so far.
