The armorer and assistant are responsible to make sure there are no live rounds on set and that weapons are in good condition and will not accidentally discharge.  Baldwin did not pull the trigger, I believe him on that point.  He was given a defective prop that was lethal in anyone's hands.


You sure do know a lot about guns

That's not knowing about guns. That's knowing a lot about props/movie craft and knowing something about what has been said of the case.

So the Brothers Grinch ( Fauci and Brandon) suggest a segregated Christmas.
The unvaccinated should not be invited to celebrate with the vaccinated.

Which begs the question.
Do the vaccines actually work?

There are, in the 1500 pages of this thread, hundreds of them with links to all the research that unequivocally shows, based on epidemiologic data from across the globe, that vaccines greatly decreases your risk of getting sick, getting seriously ill, or dying, and also decreases your virus shedding (transmission to others), and when boosted offers superior protection to variants.  We have had a good knowledge of how vaccines work, and how they can end epidemics, since the 1800s.   There is no more question to be begged than there is with cleaning hands and instruments before surgery, or that vitamin C prevents scurvy.  You fucking dimwit.
Nice summary of something.
Not the question asked, though.

He literally replied to precisely your question.  With a clear and provable Yes.  With a detailed breakdown of how they do work.  Seriously, have you had a stroke or some kind of traumatic brain injury?

Well, he went to tOSU.

Your ignorance is compounded by your poor memory

As usual you are just spouting bullshit.

As usual you're whining when the Dems are winning. And winning big.

OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE.

READ IT: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-22-2021

I expect red to be delusional, but you don't know what's really going on.

Check your hatred for the moderates, who are winning the day!

The moderates took first and goal in February and made it fourth and goal in December. You idiot.


If not for the fucking MODERATES the Biden Agenda would be proceeding with gathering force.

The Republican fascist anti democratic efforts across the so called swing states would have been smashed to smithereens and the Democratic Party would be in full campaign mode...

This what the Democratic Party is doing for you! Here is how your great grandchildren are gonna have it better than any American in history!

The Republican Party has done nothing to help you and will do nothing to help you.


Bill Clinton proved that "it's the economy, stupid". You've lost sight of that. That is how you win in American politics. But you'd rather lose, it seems. Saddling your great grandchildren with excessive debt is something they're not likely to think well of you for doing, but being able to get up, go to work, and enjoy the dignity that comes from taking care of THEMSELVES is something that you can help secure for them, now.

 Keep the economy chugging, and keep on message with how historically unprecedented that circumstance is, and exploit the obvious cracks in the other party---and you can start to sway some of those across the aisle, too...and maybe we'll get to some of the more realistic demands that you uber-libs want down the road.

The fact you don't recognize success because you only got some cookies and not the whole bag, especially in a Congress you don't dominate, shows you don't really know much about how the game is really played.

Of course, you can keep whining.

That IS your thing.

Excessive debt? Should Eisenhower NOT have built the Interstate Highway System?


Bill Clinton?

Why do you moderates keep trying to relive the 1990s?

Why will you Moderates not realize you need to keep the base of this party motivated and mobilized?

You are out of your depth when it comes to the political situation 2021.

Since elections are about winning the swing votes and the swing states, and about getting more than the people in your party on your side, and the best way to do tha has always been about the economy. The economy is humming like never before. Focus on the good. That's how you win elections in the USA. But, you'd rather focus on the leftists in the party not getting their way, and you'd rather spend time incessantly whining about it.

As far those great big, expensive, kick-the-can-down-the-road-to-the-grandkids handouts that you promote as your God-given right, maybe you should go back and think about the words of a Democratic Party POTUS: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

The 1990's were indeed good times. Why, I'd bet even you were employed that entire decade.

Focus on what's getting done. There's a lot of good there.

Christmas remains the most important holiday, Americans say, and more plan to attend religious services to celebrate the holiday this year.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 44% of American Adults will attend a religious service this holiday season, up from 39% last year, when the COVID-19 pandemic suppressed attendance,

So, what you're saying is that Americans are getting dumber.

Got it.

Wow - the Kim Potter trial not turning out as we all thought.  Jury truly deadlocked.  Have no idea how this plays out.  Feel for everyone in this one.

Especially Daunte Wright...

Guilty ...of first and second degree manslaughter.
Judge declined her lawyer's request she be allowed out on bail to spend Christmas with her family.
BLM got a mention in the news report.
Will probably get 7 years in prison...news said. Only one supporter, her husband.

"Same prosecutors as for Chauvin".

Her first mistake was being a cop.
Her second mistake was, having made the first mistake, trying to arrest anyone.

Except that her case is nothing like Chauvin's.

If Daunte Wright hadn't had an outstanding arrest warrant, and hadn't resisted arrest, he wouldn't have been shot with a gun by mistake instead of a taser, and would be alive today.



Officer Potter said if she had not been training the new officer she would not have pulled Wright over for the air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror.

She was teaching the new guy to over police the community.

I dont think she was the one that pulled him over

I see you deliberately missed the point.

Her first mistake was being a cop.

No, her mistake was reaching for the wrong weapon.

His mistake was not showing up for his bench warrant, and then resisting arrest, and then trying to flee a group of police officers.

Her mistake costs her freedom. His cost him his life.

But, it wasn't much of a life, anyway.

The world will keep turning without folks like Daunte Wright in it.

I'll pause while you all dry your eyes at this great loss for humanity.

I just figure he was worth two or three of you and leave it at that.

Achtung, bitches!

We would be on offense against the clear and present danger of the fascist authoritarians on the right if not for the motherfucking DEMOCRATIC MODERATES.

You might wanna rethink those words.
...in light of his alleged crimes.
His friend Caleb's mother doesn't think much of him...he allegedly shot Caleb in the head and left him for dead at a gas station. He's now confined to a wheelchair and needs 24/7 care.
He also allegedly shot another friend...and allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint.
Not every Black person in the world is lovely.
Caleb's mother is reportedly happy Daunte can no longer harm anyone...but is kinda angry he won't be held to account for his alleged crimes.

"Justice for Daunte".
What about "Justice for Daunte's victims"?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10329753/Daunte-Wright-victims-tell-violent-past.html

. Daunte Wright had led a life of crime and violence in the years before his death, DailyMail.com can reveal 
. The 20-year-old was involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and previously assaulted and robbed a woman at gunpoint
 
.Jennifer LeMay said Wright shot her son, Caleb Livingston, 18, in the head and at a gas station and left him to die in an incident in Minneapolis in May 2019
Caleb now suffers from a traumatic brain injury and respiratory arrest, and is bound to a wheelchair. He cannot speak and requires 24/7 care
. LeMay said: 'I have mixed emotions about [Wright's] death, part of me is content knowing he'll never be able to hurt someone again'
'But then the other part is furious. When Kim Potter killed him, she took away any possibly for him to be held criminal accountable for what he did,' she added

. Another woman, identified only as CV, told DailyMail.com Wright assaulted her and pointed a gun at her in an attempted robbery in December 2019
. And in 2017, Wright was arrested and charged with felony 1st degree burglary of an occupied dwelling after breaking into his friend's parent's home.

But for some, Wright's death is a reminder that he will now never be brought to justice for the pain and suffering he caused his victims.

'He's an evil human being. Worse than a monster, a waste of space on earth,' Jennifer LeMay told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

And there you have it: Jumping to conclusions before the evidence is in, while objecting to my accepting the police version of one of their own shooting somebody.

Well done, Kid!

Obviously the taser system is a dismal failure.
Maybe have the tasers as rifle size, and not on a cop's person.
