Alec Baldwin's Rust shooting saga first appeared in the thread: Trump Indictment, as an off-topic discussion. Since the Rust story is not part of the Trump Indictment, this is a fork of that thread. Basically, the charges against Baldwin were surprisingly dropped. I have not been following this story, but it appears that Gutierrez Reed, the Rust armorer, is now being charged, This smells of a prosecution looking for a scrape-goat to take the fall. This is not to say that Reed was innocent, since there is room that she was apparently not qualified to do her job. The concern is that Baldwin was the person responsible for managing the production of Rust. It was his responsibility to ensure that people were doing their jobs correctly. The buck stops with him, not some lowly employee.
