Alec Baldwin Gets The Best Justice Money Can Buy

Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Baldwin, while his working-class employees take the fall, proving we have two systems of justice.

Dana Loesch demolishes 'clown show' prosecutor who broke firearm safety rules, pointed rifle with finger on trigger



Leading Second Amendment advocate Dana Loesch, the former spokeswoman of the National Rifle Association, took to task on Monday the Kenosha County prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

What happened?

During closing arguments on Monday, lead prosecutor Thomas Binger made several questionable remarks and decisions.

Binger referred to Kenosha rioters as a "crowd of heroes" while describing Rittenhouse as an "active shooter." He also erroneously claimed Rittenhouse cannot claim self-defense because he was armed, and he later downplayed the actions of Joseph Rosenbaum.

"He tipped over a Porta-Potty, that had no one in it. He swung a chain. He lit a metal garbage dumpster on fire. Oh, and there's this empty wooden flatbed trailer that they pulled out in the middle of the road and they tipped it over to stop some BearCats, and they lit it on fire," Binger said. "Oh, and he said some bad words. He said the N-word. Tsk tsk tsk."

What generated the most backlash, however, was Binger's clear disregard for firearm safety.

During closing arguments, Binger shouldered an AR-15 and placed his finger on the trigger with the bolt closed, meaning it was not evident that the the chamber was empty.

What did Loesch say?

During an interview on Fox News, Loesch observed the tragic and dangerous irony of Binger's actions.

Binger is a prosecutor alleging Rittenhouse acted recklessly and showed disregard for human life. Yet he recklessly abandoned basic firearm rules, which, as the Alec Baldwin tragedy showed recently, often has deadly consequences.

"After some of the arguments that I have heard from what I'm calling 'Brennan & Dale of the Step Brothers law firm,' I mean, it's insane," Loesch said. "He flags the entire courtroom and jury, and to be honest I'm actually kind of surprised that a bailiff, or I don't know if they had state trooper in the courtroom, didn't intervene at that moment."

"Finger on the trigger, didn't even have it shouldered properly," Loesch continued. "He went to the Alec Baldwin school of firearms handling, apparently."

After calling the prosecution a "clown show," noting that prosecutors misunderstood basic firearm facts, Loesch said "self-defense is on trial" in the Rittenhouse case.

"The state is trying to plant the seed of reasonable doubt. That's all they're trying to do is make it look like [Rittenhouse] was somehow reckless," Loesch said. "Well, [Rittenhouse] demonstrated better firearms discipline than either of those two clown shows in the courtroom."

Loesch also knocked the prosecution for describing Rittenhouse as an "active shooter." She said such a characterization is "offensive" and "actually a diminishment of mass casualty incidents."

Hollywood firearm expert says Alec Baldwin broke No. 1 rule of gun safety; crew used gun for off-set 'fun,' report says



Hollywood firearms expert Bryan Carpenter says that actor Alec Baldwin broke the number one rule of firearm safety, which resulted in the tragic death of an on-set film crew member last week.

What did Carpenter say?

Carpenter, who heads Dark Thirty Film Services, told the New York Post that Baldwin broke the first rule of firearm safety.

"Loaded or unloaded, a weapon never gets pointed at another human being," Carpenter said.

Carpenter — whose company specializes in firearms training, handling, on-set armory, and even firearm fabrication — said that when on a TV or movie set, "you never let the muzzle of a weapon cover something you don't intend to destroy."

Baldwin has said the firearm he discharged, killing 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, was declared "cold" to signify the firearm was safe to handle on set. That does not matter, Carpenter told the Post, because Baldwin "obviously pointed [the firearm] at another human being."

"All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are," Carpenter explained, citing what he told the Post are "Colonel Jeff Cooper's four fundamentals" of firearm safety.

Anything else?

Not only did Baldwin break the No. 1 rule, but the film crew reportedly used the same firearm that was used in Hutchins' tragic death for off-set "fun."

If true, that may explain how a live round was inside Baldwin's prop gun.

TMZ reported:

Multiple sources directly connected to the "Rust" production tell TMZ ... the same gun Alec Baldwin accidentally fired -- hitting the DP and director -- was being used by crews members off set as well, for what we're told amounted to target practice.

We're told this off-the-clock shooting -- which was allegedly happening away from the movie lot -- was being done with real bullets ... which is how some who worked on the film believe a live round found its way in one of the chambers that day.

As Carpenter told the Post, the phrase "prop gun" is slightly misleading. Many film and TV sets use real firearms during filming, loading them with blank rounds, which are identical to normal bullets with one exception: they do not have a projectile, the piece of lead that is expelled from the barrel of a gun when fired.

If the firearm in question was, in fact, being used for target practice off-set, then a live round could have been left in the chamber when given to Baldwin. The only way to confirm the contents of a firearm chamber — whether it is loaded or unloaded — is to visually inspect it, not simply remove the firearm's magazine.
