The defeated pessimist in me thinks that if he is charged, and somehow convicted, he’ll get probation or house arrest. Which will probably just further bolster his victim complex.

Being stuck in his house with Hilarious and their brood of newborns, infants, and toddlers is what he deserves for the next 4 or 5 decades. Though his smug ass should be behind bars for this and for being an abusive menace throughout his career.

en casa with the baldwinitos reality show

[trekkiepetrelli]

right? he's rich and white and well known he won't actually face serious consequences

[angriest_girl]

I still don’t understand why there would ever be real bullets on a film set. This whole story is so confusing to me.

[automaticpeople]

It was such an avoidable thing. Real bullets on movie sets should be illegal. Real guns should be illegal actually.

[bossm]

Yes! There shouldn’t be any real weapons on set. That’s already enough. But having real bullets that could kill someone? Absolutely not.

I don't know if this saying works in English, but to me this is one of those tragedies where someone far away threw a stone into the water and the ripples grew bigger and bigger until they eventually crushed someone. So many people have failed this poor woman, from who budgeted the production, to who hired unqualified staff, to how real bullets and working guns even came to be on set... all the way to who pulled the trigger. It'll bring a piece of justice if someone will face criminal charges, but I don't think there's this one (or two or four) perfect responsible killer in this. It's a heartbreaking mess all around, and I can only hope it changes something in the industry when it comes to the observation of safety regulations :(

Nothing ever happens to these people, but I'll be pleasantly surprised to be wrong this time.

I have recently been watching all the police interviews that are on YouTube. They just recently added Jensen’s.

[daijouboo]

I just watched Jensen's and it was extremely illuminating regarding the pace of the production, the lack of safety protocols, etc. I didn't realize he was on set when it happened and the gun they were rehearsing with was going to be fired at him in the next set up. Fuckin scary stuff.

[ayumidah]

Jeez. I haven't watched it because I'm not much for interviews-- especially on such a horrible subject, but yeah, that just sent a chill through me reading this.

[betgfm]

I too didn’t realise that the gun was gonna be fired at him. Such a difficult thing to process. I thought he came across really well in his interview. Made me like him even more.

[ahkna]

That's actually good.

Now do Ryan Reynolds. He's literally responsible for a woman's death.

[xdecadentx]

What??

[ahkna]

Government investigators into the 2017 motorcycle stunt person death on the set of Deadpool 2 have concluded the fatality was due to inadequate planning and other safety violations by the filmmakers and not rider error, it was announced Wednesday

[lozbabie]

How’s that have Ryan Reynolds literally responsible though?
