The friction is that Alec is not just an actor on that set, he’s also a producer so he has extra responsibilities.

This is true, but I don't think it's a producer's responsibility to check if a gun is loaded with real ammo or not.

Which is why I'm surprised it seems like multiple people in the comments here seem to want him charged, unless I'm mistaken lol

This means that idiots on film sets can grab a revolver intended as a prop, put real live ammo in and target shoot in between takes and eventually mix up live and dummy ammo, causing people to be killed.

I thought they were arguing that the gun that was supposed to come with fake ammo actually came with real ammo? To me it sounds like the gun supplier should be held liable?

Murder once is bad, yeah, of course. You know what's worse than one murder? Multiple murders, because the person wasn't stopped.

Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it would never happen. Ideally you would want reasonable limits in place to prevent any possible problems in the future, like a corrupt judge and prosecutor, etc.

I would say their qualified immunity shouldn't apply to their off-duty actions, but I wouldn't be so sure, and also I'm not American.

Probably because it might have been a hate crime and might have done it for hate reasons, and maybe they will do it again unless they are held accountable. That would be my guess.

A lot of gamers use the term "devs" colloquially when a lot of the blame for many of the evils of modern gaming should actually go to management and publishers.

It's because they don't want to give out free food (but want to make it seem like they do want to give out free food), so they will make it available only when people are less likely to go for it.

It's not a free product, your data is being sold.

This is a rounding error to them. Boeing doesn't care that they killed ~~346~~ 348 people.

Businesses need to be held accountable. Businesses won't be held accountable because they pay governments off.

It's looking like both USA and Canada are gonna fuck it up, though.
