    Public scapegoat.

    Edit: Alec Baldwin is a known Democrat and caricatured Donald Trump famously on SNL. This is clearly a hit job on him because of his stance.

      Even if that’s true, Alec bears legal responsibility. I’m left of USA “left,” so it’s not like I am wrongfully projecting unwarranted culpability onto Alec. I’ve no problems with anything I recall him saying. I understand the emotions that may be driving Alec’s refuseal to accept legal and moral responsibility. It still doesn’t make him less responsible, legally or ethically.

        It’s all so ridiculous. Alec has made so many statements damning his own case. Like that he didn’t know anyone was hurt until police showed up and told him like 45 minutes after. So what, he does his scene, walks off nine the wiser? Maybe she was killed instantly and didn’t scream, but the other guy that was shot and didn’t lose consciousness. Surely he had something to say when it happened. Nope, Alec is so innocent, he didn’t pull the trigger, didn’t know it fired, didn’t know anyone was hurt.

          I hadn’t read that. As I said, we’ll need to wait for evidence to publicly emerge.
