#8  Saw a report baldwin was distracted with his cell phone during the safety briefing. I'm not sure who released that but I suspect the armorers people.

#7  He certainly made a bad mistake. Everything he has done since that point has been horrifying to watch. He is now in the Kevin Spacey category of pariah talents. He will still act but few will be willing to pay to see his work. Mostly he will complain going forward.

#6  Maybe the armorer will get a high security cell like Epstein.

#5  My take: Alec Baldwin will get a fine and 1 to 2 years Probation. The Armorer will get hanged, drawn and quartered ...unless Alec needs to buy her off then minimum jail time and a fat cash-filled envelope with a NDA so she doesn't write a book.

#3  Reminds me of the Federal AG out here who Obama dismissed cause he was trailing Bill Richardson (former governor and early endorser of Obama) for 'pay for play'. He said the corruption was just as bad in the state as in Illinois, it's just that those who play in the game are willing to sell out for much lower amounts.

#2  Surprised it got this far.

Now it just a matter of bribing the right court people or jury members to avoid being locked up.

Alec Baldwin has a net worth of $70 million, so he has the $$$$ to find and buy the right resources to pull it off.
