Being on a film set is not an excuse for reckless behavior. If anything, it makes his actions more egregious, not less.

Stop being so willfully ignorant.

Shits done differently not unssfely

1 person getting shot vs the many who don't proves this is safe

Reducing the safety factor from "everyone is responsible for using multiple safety factors to prevent injury" to "one designated individual is responsible for everything that happens" is not "different". It's dangerous.

You would not tolerate this in any other circumstances. A random gun owner hires a designated safety officer to protect everyone in the area, then recklessly handles a gun and shoots someone. You wouldn't tolerate this exact same behavior from some random redneck; why does Baldwin get a pass?
