I've really enjoyed watching Baldwin on screen.

This production, where Baldwin had a management role, was relentlessly risky in every way.

When all the union crew walked off the set, claiming safety issues, that was the last moment Baldwin had plausible deniability.

Some tiny portion of the blame also goes to the poor cinematographer - even if it's a prop gun facing toward the camera, you should not be there in person, and in 2021, there's absolutely no need for you to be there in person. But her portion of the blame is very small, and she suffered consequence out of proportion to her mistake.

All the facts aren't in, but so far, Baldwin appears to be criminally negligent, and in a just society, would face actual jail time.
