I've never seen it before, but I managed to guess what it meant.

Baldwin related, but not shooting related

https://www.foxnews.com/entert...ion-family-us-marine

The family of a U.S. Marine killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan is suing Alec Baldwin for allegedly mislabeling his sister as a participant in the Capitol riot Jan. 6, 2021.

The 63-year-old actor is named in a lawsuit seeking $25 million and alleging defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress

The lawsuit stems from a post that Baldwin shared on Instagram earlier this month after he gave $5,000 to the widow of a fallen soldier to help her with their newborn daughter. Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum was killed Aug. 26 in Kabul in a suicide bombing as he was processing refugees amid the United States’ controversial withdrawal from the country.

When the actor heard of McCollum’s story, he reached out to McCollumn's sister, Roice, and gave her $5,000 to give to her brother’s widow, Jiennah Crayton. He later called the check a "tribute to a fallen soldier." However, on Jan. 3, Roice shared a photo on Instagram that clearly gave Baldwin second thoughts about his tribute.

The image showed her at the Washington Monument on the day of the insurrection in 2021. According to the lawsuit, Roice was indeed among the protestors who showed up to the march. However, the court documents reveal that, while she was protesting the vote certification of Joe Biden that day, she did not take part in the rioting nor any unlawful activity.

Roice was interviewed by the FBI and cleared of any wrongdoing. Despite never being charged with any crime, the documents show direct messages between Roice and Baldwin in which he labels her a "rioter."

"When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th rioter," Baldwin wrote.

Roice responded: "Protesting is perfectly legal in the country and I’ve already had my sit down with the FBI. Thanks, have a nice day!"

"I don’t think so. Your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an assault on the certification of the presidential election," Baldwin replied. "I reposted your photo. Good luck."

Baldwin went on to repost the photo and call Roice an "insurrectionist" to his 2.4 million Instagram followers in a since-deleted post. Roice, her sister Cheyenne and Jiennah are suing Baldwin over his direct message and the decision to share his belief that Roice took part in the rioting.

Roice and her family say they were inundated with hateful comments shortly after the post went public. The court documents offer examples of some of those comments, the most disturbing from someone who said, "Get raped and die, worthless c--- [kiss emoji]. Your brother got what he deserved."

The court documents allege that, rather than walk back his statements, Baldwin continued to label Roice an "insurrectionist" and "rioter" in subsequent comments engaging with critics.

"Baldwin's comments were false, outrageous, defamatory, irresponsible, vindictive and caused – and continue to cause — plaintiffs severe emotional distress. Instead of being able to focus on grieving LCPL McCollum's death and raising his newborn daughter, plaintiffs and their family are now fearful for their lives."

I had never heard of the man until this thread started, and was never ready to crucify him for the accident despite its terrible result and his reputation in general among knowledgeable gun owners who did know him, but this is infuriating.
Where are the stakes, faggots, and torches now that some of these … unmentionables continue to walk among us.

Yeah, Alec, when it rains, it pours, huh, cowboy?

One can only hope that there is a special place in hell, or wherever vile inDUHviduals end up, for Mr. Baldwin.

He's already there, since October 21 last.

Poor fella just can’t catch a brake /sarc/

Baldwin is a class A rectum.

Keep digging, arric barwin. You will dig yourself out of this hole if you go deep enough. . .

I believe in you. :-)

Put it on a Splenda packet for him. It's easier that way. You know, he's embarrassed by strong emotions and the adulation of his fans.

Maybe do a separate Splenda packet for his lovely wife, Hillaria. In spanish, of course.

The Baldwin/McCollum family story is pretty big here in Wyoming; and here you thought he couldn’t be a bigger asshole.

Alec Baldwin response to lawsuit: "This was a workplace accident and plaintiff should file a workman's compensation claim"

Alec Baldwin and his fellow "Rust" producers have asked a Los Angeles judge to dismiss a lawsuit by the movie's script supervisor, who claims she was hurt in last year's fatal on-set shooting.

While defense lawyers agreed that the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, on Oct. 21 was a "terrible tragedy," they argued Monday in a filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court that the plaintiff, Mamie Mitchell, should seek relief through a New Mexico workers compensation claim, not in a Los Angeles courtroom.

The defense said Hutchins' death and the wounding of director Joel Souza were the results of a "workplace accident."

Mitchell sued Baldwin and other "Rust" producers, claiming she was standing next to Hutchins when the fatal round struck Hutchins on the movie set in New Mexico. Mitchell suffered “serious physical trauma and shock and injury to her nervous system” because of the fatal incident, her lawsuit said.

Defense attorney Aaron Dyer wrote that Mitchell’s complaint “should be dismissed because her exclusive remedy is New Mexico’s Workers’ Compensation Act, not a civil action filed in California State Court.”

The defense argued that even if Mitchell’s claims fall outside the New Mexico workers compensation laws, the suit has no merit.

Despite Mitchell’s attempts “to label claims as intentional, nothing about plaintiff’s allegations suggest that any defendants intentionally committed harmful conduct under New Mexico law,” the defense response said.

Mitchell's attorney, Gloria Allred, said the defendants "are trying to avoid explaining their conduct before a judge and a jury in a court of law."

"We intend to vigorously oppose their demurrer, and we believe that we should be allowed to proceed," Allred said in a statement.

_______

The lawsuit may be bullshit, especially since Gloria Allred is involved, but the claim of this merely being a "workplace accident" is bullshit, too and I hope the suit goes forward.

^^^ Grasping for straws

Any lawyer will pull the "Its not my clients fault, this isn't the way things are, and thats not what happened" bit.

Someone should tell her it could have been worse. But, you gotta get when the getting's good.

This is one of the few times you'll see me supporting baseless lawsuits. What's bad for Alec Baldwin is good for us.

Unless of course, that comet finally shows up, in which case, it's bad for us all.

Work place accident..... One thing the Left is truly talented at is the ability to convincingly mischaracterize anything and everything.

People 100 years from now will read about this in the history books (or equivalent) and say, "Why was it so hard to arrest and try this idiot?"
