I think that statement was in response to her lawyer’s argument that it was a collective failure, not hers alone.

The armorer and Baldwin were both charged with involuntary manslaughter which, under New Mexico law, basically means criminally negligent handling of a firearm. If the armorer can be convicted of that crime and excoriated y the court on these facts, the person who pulled the trigger doesn’t have much of a chance.

Yep. I’ve believed for years that Social Media and now especially these obnoxious, entitled, horrible self-titled ‘influencers’ are the true end-of-society as we knew it.

Yeah, that woman was annoying. BUT, he still assaulted her (by smacking her camera, he hit her). Great impulse control there, chief. . .

Removing for a moment my disdain for the man, I cannot imagine the stress/pressure he is feeling right now. This pain-in-the-ass (or those similar to him) probably follow him everywhere he goes…dude just wants to get a cup of coffee at what is/was his neighborhood ‘safe place’.

I’m not saying I agree with what he did, but I understand.

Look at it this way: Your impulse control has improved greatly. You lasted almost an entire minute!

I certainly won't shed a single tear for Baldwin here, but had he grabbed Crackhead by her hair and tossed her down those stairs instead of just smacking her phone, I would've applauded.

Benny Johnson seems to be missing some details in his post.

Readers added context
Alec Baldwin has not been convicted of any crime yet.

Clearly he is being harassed in the footage, and depending upon what state he is in, he may be within his rights to remove the phone from his harasser.

The post wording is also racist and will be reported.

FUCK Baldwin. He is getting exactly what he deserves. He is the enemy that would see all of us disarmed and defenseless while he and his kind live behind walls with armed guards. While I loathe social media, I have no problem with harassing this asshole. Not for one second.

Whatever. There is never a time I will side with these Free Palestine, terrorist sympathizers. I don't care how contemptible their target is, even Alec Baldwin.

Poor judgement once again , this guy is a menace to himself and others,
This is the bitch that needs a 230 grain muscle relaxer.

I hope he catches an assault charge for that camera smack on top of the homicide.

You misunderstand. The pro-Palestinian garbage attacking him are here and doing what they please as a direct result of policies his kind voted for and support. Let them eat each other.

Truly.

There certainly is no victim here. Him getting harassed is fine, and her getting her phone smacked is fine. I have no issue with either in this particular instance.

When two assholes collide it really is a win-win situation.

Well, I also understand. HOWEVER, he sought celebrity and fame. He made millions off his name, movies, etc. He THEN used his fame to attack our Constitutional rights. He is legendary for his douchebaggery, temper, and arrogance. He isn't Fred Rogers, Dolly Parton, or other 'cool/relatable' celebrity. He is a world class a-hole.

While I generally despise 'influencers,' I cannot find any sympathy for him. This is a guy qho is reaping what he has sown (IMO, of course).

Yep, this Class I Asshole deserves everything comin' to him. And it's not just for the killing he notched under his belt either, it is also for a lifetime of shitty behavior.

If Baldwin and his assailant wanted to have a true fight to the death, I'd spring for Pay-per-View and popcorn.

Karma chooses its vessel. We have no say in the matter.

Funny how we always talk about the left eating its own, but this is somehow different, and that's bizarre, because if anyone deserves this treatment, it's Alec Baldwin.

Oh, she's an idiot? The world is overflowing with idiots. Twitter I SAID TWITTER has millions of them. Literally, millions.

So what? There's no comparison here. You have some unimaginative, terrorist-supporting NPC invoking her programming. This is nothing special.

Now, compare her to Baldwin, who has for decades been a complete asshole and has been a vocal and very public opponent of gun rights. He has assaulted people in public, and just now, he has done it again!

He's utterly obnoxious, supremely arrogant, and wholly deserving of a grand beatdown, and some of you want to come to his defense because the person who accosted him is an imbecile.

Sorry, no. The choice is clear. Besides, I do feel a mild kinship with her, as, not infrequently, I, too, suffer from itchy tits.

Baldwin has the same look in these vids like the top of his head is nanoseconds from heading to the moon. I think I can hear his brain squeaking against the inside of his skull.

Funny that two incorrigible individuals come together to create a perfect scene, Baldwins getting the results of his past ideology that he's supported coming at him and he couldn't hold himself back,

While I don't care for her tact, in this case an exception is warranted as she got him to react exactly as he always does... with anger and physically.

She should press charges, that would be perfect.

Nah, just have her appear as a character witness at his sentencing .

Another thing that comes through is baldwin's sense of privilege. The whole 'do you know who I am' bit comes out in nearly every video of him. He is *above* us mere peons who dare to question/defy his position. He is, of course, better than us, and it just must GALL him to be treated/heckled like he was in this last incident. He really wanted to lash out, and it likely took every last bit of his resolve to keep from punching her (heck, she may have been TRYING to provoke him to violence so she could get more visibility).

As Para has said, he better get used to it. I bet this video opens the flood gates and he will be mercilessly hounded in any public setting from now until his arraignment. . .

I just came back to express my loathing for the female agitator. I’m fine with whom she targeted, but she’s an A hole.

I figure just about anybody who gets in someone else's face and demands that they say some particular phrase or take some particular action is an A hole... :/
