District attorney reacts to Alec Baldwin after he claims it's 'unlikely' he'll be charged in 'Rust'

70. What more safety laws could Alex have adhered to?

A prop gun on set, should have been handled and tested through more than one safety check. Accumulating in one final check before its handed to the actor for the scene.

Is it the requirement of the actor, who has a lot already on his plate, even after all the other prop testing gatekeeping is (supposedly) done, to first pull the trigger into a pillow just to make sure or something? What are these safety laws he neglected to do?

We really do have a big tent. I'm amazed at some of the reactions vilifying Baldwin on DU. Do people honestly believe that he purposely disregarded some safety protocol, knowing that he was risking the lives of his fellow movie workers, knowing that there was a small chance that the gun may be loaded with real bullets...and shot at someone anyways?

Why would you come to that conclusion? Is it because, as someone here said, "Not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree"? He's just stupid?
He may be a bit arrogant, but stupid is not a word I'd describe such an accomplished actor.
