I don't like Alec Baldwin BUT I think he is a pretty decent actor. That said, it is my opinion that anyone handling a gun, regardless of state of loaded or not, should be instructed in gun safety. Perhaps sufficient instruction was given and someone was just careless. Accidents do happen. I don't believe there was any intent in the accident. I have no doubt in my mind that this is an instance where it was purely accidental. Does that make it OK? No, just saying that even though I do not like the guy, I am not going to disparage or ostracize the guy for something that was likely an unintentional and not evil in intent.
Yes, it was news. Yes, we would all like to know the details. It was most likely a horrendous mistake. This is much like incidents where a police officer is in a shoot out with a perpetrator and hits an innocent bystander. It was not intentional but nonetheless catastrophic.
