Alec Baldwin’s case was dismissed with prejudice.

What does this mean, IANAL view point

Alec Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter after he shot and killed his cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.

The relevant facts: Alec Baldwin was holding a real gun. Alec Baldwin pointed the gun at a person. Alec Baldwin cocked the gun (pulled the hammer back and set it on the sear). Alec Baldwin then pressed the trigger, causing the gun to fire, killing Halyna Hutchins.

Irrelevant facts: Somebody told Alec Baldwin that the gun was unloaded (Treat every gun as if it is loaded). Somebody said they loaded dummy rounds into the gun (Treat every gun as if it is loaded). He says he did not pull the trigger, (Never point your gun at something you are not willing to destroy/kill.). In addition, he injured the director(?) (Be sure of your target and what is beyond it).

Other irrelevant facts: Baldwin is just a trained monkey. He can’t be expected to know the safety rules. Baldwin is so stupid that he should never have been handed a real gun. It was somebody else’s responsibility to make sure that the gun was “safe”.

Things went wrong on that set. Some of it appears to be Baldwin’s responsibility. Including rushing the safety crew, disregarding safety “suggestions” and overall shitty safety.

Having watched the video of Trump being shot, my first thoughts were of “Thank God he survived the attempt.”

My third though was of grief for the person in the audience who was killed and the other that was injured. This asshole, shooting at Trump, didn’t give a shit who was hit by his shots. In his zeal to kill Trump, he killed a Trump supporter, and likely considered that “good.”

My second thought was, “Why would I give up my guns now? You evil assholes.”

There are many more. It is always the same, “Now that it happened to YOU, you will ban guns, right?”

This is just as revolting as the idiots that post “Now that “People of Color” are buying guns, Republicans will be willing to ban them.”

There isn’t a single drop of blood these vultures won’t use against us.

At around 1800, 2024-07-13, President Trump was shot. He was hit in the right ear, was escorted off the stage at the rally in Butler, PA.

He was taken to the hospital where he will be evaluated.

Three different versions of what happened are floating on X.

1. Someone shot him with a pistol, missing his head by only a small amount.
2. Someone shot at him with a rifle at distance.
3. Someone shot at him with a BB gun.

The reports indicate 5 to 9 shots. The shots did not sound like a firearm to me.

It now appears that the shooter was using a long rifle from outside the venue. The shooter is dead. Having been wrong on the “didn’t sound like a firearm”, I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that it wasn’t an AR-15 platform.

If it had been an AR-15, there would have been more rounds fired.

Regardless, thank God that Trump survived with only minor injury.

Take a look at CNN and the Washington Post for examples of TDS and malicious reporting.

There are many topics which generate strong feelings. One of the things that I’ve learned over the years, is that people on the left can find a reason to hate you and that is it. You can have one “bad” opinion, that is enough to remove you into their subhuman category.

People on the right seem to be more accepting. As some have said, “love the sinner, hate the sin.” We are the big tent side of the body politic.

With that said, I do hope that I do not chase away any of our readers by having positions they disagree with.
