Re: Alec Baldwin the killer - will manslaughter charges be filed?
He likely won't be found liable in any shape of form as the actor that pulled the trigger. People are hired on set to check the safety etc. It's not the actors responsibility.
It could be a different story as the producer though, especially if corners were cut to save costs.

Re: Alec Baldwin the killer - will manslaughter charges be filed?
It was not Baldwin's fault. It was the armourer and assistant director if the below is correct:
As a film crew and actors in western garb prepared to rehearse a scene inside a wooden, chapel-like building on a desert movie ranch outside Santa Fe, N.M., assistant director Dave Halls stepped outside and grabbed a prop gun off a cart.
He walked back in and handed it to the film's star, Alec Baldwin, assuring him it was safe to use because it didn't have live ammo.
"Cold gun," Halls yelled.
The OP jumped to wrong conclusions because Baldwin is a liberal. This tragic situation has nothing to do with politics. Baldwin will forever feel guilt and remorse for unknowingly taking the life of another human.

How will they turn this accident in to a gun control narrative?

Re: Alec Baldwin the killer - will manslaughter charges be filed?
Alex Baldwin was the Producer of this movie, was he not? Apparently corners were cut, people were walking off the set, and there was chaos. They didn't even have the proper gun safety people on set until there were already two earlier misfires that fortunately didn't hurt anyone.
Why was an Asst. Director the one handling the revolver in the first place?
This is Baldwin's mess as Producer, and he should be charged. He also should get the living shit sued out of him by the young woman's husband.

Alec Baldwin ignored the No. 1 rule of gun safety:
Alec Baldwin, who accidentally killed his cinematographer on the set of his film “Rust,” should have never pointed a gun at another human, even if he believed it was safe, Hollywood safety experts told The Post.
And the actor is now likely to face a gantlet of legal challenges — including possible criminal charges — as both the man who pulled the trigger and as the executive producer responsible for set safety, legal experts said.
“Loaded or unloaded, a weapon never gets pointed at another human being,” Hollywood firearms consultant Bryan Carpenter of Dark Thirty Film Services told The Post.
Baldwin, 63, fired a prop gun that killed Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured the film’s director, Joel Souza, on the “Rust” set in Santa Fe, NM, on Thursday.
For safety, all live firearms used in TV and film productions are typically aimed at a dummy point, not at equipment, cast or crew, Carpenter noted. Guns, he said, are never aimed at a person.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

He won't be charged with manslaughter. He's going to pay out millions to the deceased woman family for civil liability.
