I can't tell you how many "news" articles I have read that phrase it like; Baldwin was "holding" the gun when it "discharged."Baldwin was holding a revolver on set during an Oct. 21 rehearsal when the gun discharged, killing Hutchins.
For fuck's sake. Have we gotten so politically correct that we can no longer say someone shot another human being? Or do just Hollywood jackasses get this kind of kid glove treatment?
And I don't wanna hear any of this shit that they are merely protecting themselves from a libel lawsuit or some shit. He shot her. Case closed. We can argue forever whether or not he should be charged with a crime (spoiler alert: he should be) but if we can't even agree that he shot her then we have gone way past being a sane and rational society. I wonder how many poor black teenagers get this kind of treatment. "He was holding a gun when it discharged 30 times and somehow shot 5 people."
Kim Potter should have tried this at her trial. "I didn't shoot him, I was holding the gun when it discharged."
