    He is more entitled than Canadian owner/operators, at least they know how to be quiet when most of their revenue comes from USA

    All of my team are allowed their personal opinions on here, as I stated in the PM to you. Since you wish to take this public and attack one of my team, I'm going to state publicly that their moderator hat does not have to be on all the time and they are allowed to interact as well as express their opinions. I will defend my moderators fairness to all extents, as I've seen their moderation over the years. They moderate based upon our rules here, not personal opinion. The next time you have an issue with one of my team, I suggest that you contact me privately and let me review it, instead of reporting it and then calling them out publicly. I do not take kindly to people attacking my team.

    That was never the case. If you think so, it simply shows your bias matches the bias of the journalist. Heck, choosing what to cover and what to ignore pushes one agenda over another.

    Not to mention lacking the intelligence required to safety check a firearm for live ammo before pointing it at somebody on a movie set.

    And the guy who wouldn't put his electronic gameboy away while on a commercial flight which was trying to take off, but couldn't because "He wasn't finished with the game yet". Held up the flight inconveniencing everyone on the flight, so he could finish his game. They eventually had him thrown off the plane so the plane could take off & everyone could get to their destination.

    Why? "Because I'm Alec Baldwin and no one else matters. Everybody has to do what I want to do".

    The actors are not allowed to open the gun, or any prop for that matter. That's why there is a Armourer who readys it then turns it over for another to confirm that it is ready to use as prop. And those are the people responsible for live ammunition NOT being in the gun, or even on the set......
     
    gentleroger Thanks this.

    Even so, he also didn't need to pull the trigger either.
    And no, there is no way that specific gun could have fired without him pulling the trigger.

    (Plus, I'm not saying you're wrong, but right or wrong the person handling the gun can't check the chamber is a bunch of b.s.)
