If your boss tells you to do something dangerous, and you still do it, you are still responsible. Both people should be charged, but the person who actually did the dangerous thing is the most responsible.

This is akin to someone dying in a forklift accident in a factory. It sounds like "tragic accident" until you hear how the boss was an asshole and skimped on safety measures, and ignored previous failures that could have resulted in death, but people got lucky, but then never changed anything to prevent it from happening again. Except it did, and then someone died.

And Alec Baldwin is the producer, co-writer of the script, and was responsible for running an unsafe, slipshod set. Its also somewhat infuriating as the man who's rep from his OWN union, was keen on hiring non-union scabs to break a strike.

We'll see what comes out in his trial, but unless people are making shit up, people are saying he violated every safety protocol both as producer and and ignored the safety brief as an actor as well. But again, we'll see who actually says what under oath.

NO SHIT. What the fuck!?! Shame on them, if that company was run by any sort of decent people they would have already promised to take care of them! Lol at that notion, though.

What a sad ass state we are in when companies can do this to their employees. ESPECIALLY given their egregious error!

Sounds like with their decline to evacuate, at least she and the others have one hell of a lawsuit. I'm sure there will be plenty of lawyers willing to assist. So unfortunate that it will have to come to that. I hope all of those injured take them for everything they've got.

Shitty fucking candy anyway.
