The ruling increases the likelihood that Mr. Baldwin will stand trial this summer in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust.”
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?
