It was probably the worst day of Alec Baldwin's life when he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust" on Oct. 21. It's a time to feel terrible about a 42-year-old woman with a husband and a young son. Then, CNN's Jake Tapper used it in one of his commentaries to denounce the entire Republican Party for making this tragedy an occasion for jokes. "There's something about our politics right now that is driving people away from our shared humanity."

Alec should receive exactly what he has meted out to others over the years.

If he kept his promise and moved to Canada, none of this would be happening.

The author posits the question and answers it correctly. Yes, Baldwin should be afforded the decency his probable humanity is due. But if instead the question were 'Does he deserve leniency?, then the answer would be a resounding, "NO!".

If he had EVER spent 3 hours to attend an NRA gun safety course, this narcissist might have used his G-dgiven brain and not killed this woman by his gross negligence. He has a net worth of $60 million, but HIS greed to produce a movie on the cheap and his stupidity killed her, so he should be in inprisoned for manslaughter.

When I was 5 years old my Dad taught me how to safely handle a gun. Basically immediately UNLOAD it. inspect it and load it when you intend to use it.. This is simple enough for even Alec.to understand. Criminally negligent.

Judging from the narcissistic “statement” Baldwin issued about HIS FEELINGS and how he DISTANCED HIMSELF from his own negligence, I would suggest he does not deserve anything but our contempt. All signs continue to indicate that the man is irredeemable.

I feel bad for him that this happened
However, he should not have been handling weapons at all as he clearly does not know the 4 simple rules of gun safety

I think all humans should be treated with decency. Also with Justice, not Just-Us. Now I can't speak for that bad man in Alec's cell that is gonna make Alec his girlfriend.

If this had happened to Clint Eastwood or Mel Gibson how would it be handled?
Chain of custody on the weapon, questions about why he aimed in her direction, questions about any potential conflict between them, dusting for finger prints on the remaining bullets, option of a lie detector test....

"Does Alec Baldwin Deserve Decency?" - in the legal sense , yes on an ethical sense, not on your life.
hey Alec, remember the old quote from Tom Lehrer, "Life is like a sewer, you only get out of what you put into it"

Another perpetually outraged liberal who stupidly pointed a prop gun at a cinematographer and pulled the trigger. An unintended consequence that cannot be fixed. A woman is dead and Baldwin is liable. We can only hope the “law” will deal with him appropriately.

At this point, that scum is probably wishing that he had followed that “do unto others” thing. He deserves all the vitriol which is raining down on him.

I saw he and the victim's husband had brunch the day after her death. Probably to beg him not to sue for millions of $$$$.

I may have missed reading it somewhere, but I wonder if he ever talks with his brother Steven, you know, the Christian, who might offer some words of wisdom regarding redemption. Just a thought.

He may get it from God, but not from me. He is an evil, crazy little man.

I've watched men like Joe Biden and known of the antics of Alec Baldwin for years both men being vindictive and very mean toward people, Baldwin even became physical toward others politics aside. Baldwin plays his progressiveness to the hilt and then some. Like Biden I despised both men and both deserve the misery heaped on them because of their actions towards others. Biden's is mostly vindictive stupid words Baldwin is more aggressive and would be physical.
A resounding NO to forgiving or deserving decency. If I would feel sorrow for Baldwin at any moment you could count on his character in the future make me mad that I gave him a pass. Baldwin's thought process is not normal or nice from his past so I wish misery for the rest of his life.

The way our legal system is set up, if we cannot give the rotten the same legal protections as we give the good, the system eventually won't work for anybody. That is the problem we are facing right now. A member of the elites not facing the same laws as everybody else would. If they can put Martha Stewart away, they can certainly deal with Baldwin as needs to be done.

"Innocent until proven guilty" applies to everyone. I may tremendously dislike the accused person, but in the US we've got to resist the urge to publicly condemn anyone.

Alec Baldwin is one of the most hateful celebrities alive and deserves to be publicly raked over the coals. I'm saving my sympathy for the family and friends of Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin deserves public scorn.

No. We're playing by Baldwin's and the Left's rules now. Keep the woman out of it, but otherwise knives out.

Basic human decency is a threshold value. In the past, whenever the Left has shown its real self, there have always some share of conservatives willing to engage in human decency Olympics trying to set new standards of compassion and understanding shown.
That was wrong, because it left the nasty but important work of protecting our Constitution and our families undone.
We are engaged in a war or mutual destruction, declared by the Left. When the enemy stands next to a big hole in the ground, push them in and go about your day. They have earned that treatment. Your great grandchildren will thank you. As will the Veterans not killed, the puppies not tortured, and the babies not aborted.
Take no glee in doing that. Stoicism in the face of destroying the Left should be your measure of decency. But do it. It is what is necessary for the basic survival of our Country and the people we care about.

"Ashli Babbitt", this punchline is approved by your most sanctimonious Jake Tapper. No, they don't have the standing to lecture any of us.

As my dad used to say, "Don't dish it out if you can't take it." Alec deserves a heaping helping of what he has been arrogantly dishing out for years.

Zero sympathy. He's a rotten, obnoxious person, and deserves all the bad things that come his way.

No. He'd just assume spit on you or me as say "Hello". Greg Gutfeld made a great point the other night. This was a low budget film and Baldwin was producing it. To reduce costs he could have asked the NRA to send a rep (or reps) to check guns and blanks - and they probably would have sent one (or more) for free. But NOOOO !!! The NRA is BAD. And Baldwin's a gun grabber in real life (i.e. when he's not playing make believe on a film set).
The guy's a pig (his daughter reference) and deserves everything he gets.
