Halyna HUTCHINS & Joel SOUZA take priority, granted. Can we spare a bit for Alec?

There is so much crap to go around - the death, the wound. Also the negligence and lack of attention, which might also come back to roost with BALDWIN and others. The inexperience of the person in charge. That the crew was using the prop for recreation in off hours, with live rounds that might have been left.

And then to get down to the crass level: How the despicable HANNITY and Drumpf are not above their sick gloating and mocking.

And whatever BALDWIN's lifetime of questionable fracases - he has a heart. And he will be marked even for himself for the rest of his life. It's like his destiny has been building up to this how-much-can-he-bear.

It's happened before with others in similar circumstances, the fellow below. And Matthew BRODERICK killed somebody in an auto accident, which makes me wonder despite his being able to continue with a career (which is not priority under the circumstances) whether this is why he's seldom pictured smiling, despite his "comedy" roles and other.

Actor who fatally shot Brandon Lee in 1993 movie tragedy was also traumatized

Images of a distraught Alec Baldwin — who tragically killed a cinematographer with a movie prop gun — evoked memories of an actor who remained haunted for the rest of his life after fatally shooting Brandon Lee with a firearm he believed was loaded with blanks. ....

The actor died (1993) on the operating table after six hours of emergency surgery, leaving (Michael) Massee devastated and forcing him to take a lengthy sabbatical, the New York Times reported in a 2016 article about the character actor’s death from stomach cancer at age 64. ....

After an investigation, District Attorney Jerry Spivey said no criminal charges would be filed over Lee’s death because while negligence was a factor, there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing, the Times reported in 1993.

A negligence lawsuit filed by Lee’s mother, Linda Lee Cadwell, against the studio was eventually settled out of court, the LA Times reported that year. ....
