so alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.
Just read an interesting article from an attorney who said based on current information we have, Baldwin will probably be at least civilly (negligence) and potentially criminally (manslaughter) liable.
All the fingers point at him, because he is the co-producer and the one that pulled the trigger. He is responsible for having safety personnel, training of the actors in safe handling of firearms etc

i am not sure but i know where non jws have been brought in for a witness to a judicial meeting.
what is the official policy on this?
I do remember that it is possible to use a worldly person as a witness, but the word of a baptized witness would trump whatever a worldly person says. So they can be used to corroborate a thing, but they are below even baptized female children in the ranking.

@Simon: there are a lot of things that don’t make sense about the story. Directors don’t hand over guns, armorers do. Armorers require 2 people, 1 licensed and 1 assistant that check the gun for whatever is loaded, neither were on set. It seems to have been a live bullet in a real gun, there were multiple guns. Anyone that has ever worked with real guns knows you don’t just pull the trigger without checking, even if you are alone at a range.
A lot of safety went out of the window to get this movie going. Greed, incompetence and disregards for the “hourly” employees, that kind of paints the entire left wing today.
The fact the investigation isn’t just returning with the facts means things went awfully wrong to get to that point.

@Rafe: Baldwin is an apathetic careless jerk, but it is highly correlated to his left-wing ideology. That is what is hitting people’s nerves. One of his tweets a few years ago mocked a police officer saying he wonders how it feels to “wrongfully” shoot someone when a suspect got in a struggle to take the gun off said officer. His “comedy” similarly mocks people and police officer as dumb rednecks when they shoot a criminal.
I know not all Democrat voters are the same, but Baldwin is a specific type of Hollywood ideologue, he has always been a high profile gun control advocate, demanding that the proles don’t have access to guns, but apparently he hires armed security and apparently doesn’t even know the first thing about gun safety.
His reaction as reported was likewise telling that he is a hypocrite sociopath, which is typical for the liberal elite. The initial reports said Baldwin got angry for having to reshoot a take and picked up the gun to “mock shoot” them which he believed to be an unloaded prop and pulled the trigger, which shot the victims. Anti-gun activist indeed. Note the people shot weren’t actors, they had no reason being in the line of the shot. Even a prop gun that shoots blanks can potentially be lethal. Losing your cool and working your anger out on the people that work for you, it wouldn’t be the first time for Baldwin.
Then there is the fact that the guns had already malfunctioned but the production being too cheap didn’t want to fix it, causing several people to already have walked off the set over safety concerns.
All the mean time his buddies in the media are now spinning the story and blaming his prop master and I’ve even seen an article blaming “low budget” and COVID for the shooting. Because Baldwin and his bosses were too cheap ($6M is a huge budget imho, Baldwin taking a huge chunk of that) the government now needs to step in and give him more money so this doesn’t happen again.
Not only that, but the union of movie set workers IATSE has been threatening to strike over poor working conditions, mask mandates and safety concerns for months, but big Hollywood and the media have both covered up that story while big studios tried to keep production going. Eventually union leaders bowed to Disney and co with some minor concession. Did you hear Baldwin’s Twitter complain at any point over the last few weeks that his staff was working in unsafe conditions? Any other big actor join in solidarity? Nope, they all took their lead from the studio and shut up about it.
If you’re going to advocate for a specific thing, fine, but at least don’t be a dumbass about it.
a moment ago i clicked onto the link at https://bigglobaltravel.com/cities/funny-pictures-canada-yh/?utm_campaign=canada%20pictures%20shira1606%20dup0109%20msn%20edg%20en%20-%20desktop%20usa%20ya&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=msn_us&utm_content=msn.com&psl=g_61cd4e&network_code=cm which shows slides of canada.
viewing those slides (in combination with the other things i have seen and heard about canada) made me feel that maybe canada is about as close as one can get in the western world to a nation which is now a spiritual paradise, much like a new peaceful order now.
imagine that the usa would never have had a civil war.
@Rafe:
This has made for a lower style of living for many and a growing number of homelessness.
There’s only 300,000 immigrants annually to Canada, the median wage of them are lower than that of Canadians. So perhaps 30,000 of them are wealthy, distributed over the entirety of the country, it is highly unlikely that is the cause of homelessness, crime rates and other social ills currently befalling Canada.

I hate those ad spam sites. Canada is nice, if you can afford the taxes and private healthcare. Public care and crime rate kind of sucks though compared to its southern neighbor.
And... Canada is part of the British Commonwealth (technically the Queen is still the ultimate ruler there) so they’ve been in plenty of wars by proxy, back during the US Revolutionary War they were also part French and the French did participate (because they hated the brits) although the Quebecians didn’t want to be part of the Americas, so today you still get Quebec with some revolutionary tendencies (they have a functional sovereignty movement) as a little check on government overreach.
so now will the snowflake idiots on the left want to ban archery?.

@slimboyfat: in comparison with regions that do not institute gun bans, crime rates per capita are higher wherever guns are banned. You can check the rates between various US states such as California and NY or UK and Australia in comparison with other countries.
Even just comparing Canada to the US, they are relatively similar, yet Canada with its heavy gun regulation has twice the crime to the US (80.25/1000 to 40/1000)
You can see the top countries in the world are all socialist gun reform sweetheart examples: https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Total-crimes-per-1000
Crime rates have gone down globally as a result of wealth increases, but many countries took that to mean as a result of their gun laws, but the fact remained that their crime rates decreased less.

this is not a political post regarding the vax jab, (let's not go there) but i personally know many who were disturbed by the gb pushing it in the update #7. .
it is odd as they never really get involved and always do the stupid "conscious" thing whenever they don't want to take responsibility.. then i saw this article - https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/08/03/898753550/religious-groups-received-6-10-billion-in-covid-19-relief-funds-hope-for-more?t=1632597803079&fbclid=iwar0ly8k1fb3cdgknmmxs9aruz-wtex6sir9_uz2uxofkae4iyk7sm5r1ndu&t=1632598929611.
there is a report with itemized churches and the amounts they were given.
I also found out that there are other programs that churches can use, there have been $250M given out by Biden to fund vaccine promotion. Millions of those went to large aggregators such as Partners in Health (which is basically a corporate cover for the Gates Foundation, Facebook, GSK etc) that were then redistributed to smaller organizations.
Such as StanCorp Financial Group who donated to WTBTS

So basically faders can now simply say: I’m not vaccinated or I have small children and the GB gives them an easy out. Then slowly start saying you’re attending another Zoom meeting that better fits your new work schedule.
