Baldwin, the person, pulled the trigger and tragically killed someone. Criminal negligence, at least. Baldwin, the producer, is responsible for the lack of gun safety process on the job site. Both Baldwins are financially liable for damages.
#8
So the lawyers for the two Baldwins will manage t put all the financial liability on Baldwin, the producer, who will have managed to empty the production company of all value, so the victims' and their survivors will receive nothing.

[NYPOST] A 29-year-old man accused of trying to strangle an 11-year-old girl in a Manhattan park was arraigned and released on $7,500 bail on Saturday night.Nathaniel Direnzo, of Saint Marks Place, was arrested on Saturday morning for a bizarre, broad-daylight attack on the maiden of tender years and another minor on Wednesday afternoon.
On Saturday evening, he appeared for his initial hearing with his father, donning a gray suit.
He was charged with second-degree strangulation, two counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child, second-degree harassment and two counts of assault.
According to police, just around noon on Oct. 20, Direnzo approached the girl and her classmates at Stuyvesant Square with her classmates and began to yell at them, before spraying water on the group and trying to attack them, cops said.
When the maiden of tender years tried to fight back, cops say Direnzo grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the face. He then allegedly "wrapped his hands around the girl’s neck," trying to strangle her, police said.

Looks like we aren't getting the whole story of Video again from the media.
So did some digging and watch various limited slices of the video.
It seems some of the stated narrative is ass-backwards.
Upfront YES.. he ain't no angle.
But the video also shows that seriously overweight ?11? y/o goes at him full KAREN.
Question: What was this group doing for him and others so ticked off?
Answer: Video from the cell phone had captured the start of the incident where the 3 dog walkers were yelling at the children who continued to throw dirt and firecracker "poppers" (noise makers the explode when thrown on hard surfaces.) at the dogs and their owners.
Where is PETA/ASPCA on this? Given the School kids being escorted by a school counselor no less attacked animals?

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A man under house arrest in Italia showed up at a police barracks asking to be put behind bars because life with his wife at home was unbearable, police said on Sunday.undefined
The 30-year-old Albanian citizen living in Guidonia Montecelio, outside Rome, "was no longer able to cope with the forced cohabitation with his wife," Carabinieri police from nearby Tivoli said in a statement.
"Exasperated by the situation, he preferred to escape, spontaneously presenting himself to the Carabinieri to ask to serve his sentence behind bars," they wrote.
The man had been under house arrest for drug crimes for several months and had a few years left to serve, Captain Francesco Giacomo Ferrante of the Tivoli Carabinieri told AFP.
"He lived at home with his wife and family. It wasn’t going well anymore," Ferrante said.
"He said, ’Listen, my domestic life has become hell, I can’t do it anymore, I want to go to jail."
The man was promptly arrested for violating his house arrest and judicial authorities ordered his transfer to prison.

This could have been an article about Slick Willy.
[ZeroHedge] The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Oct. 21 that two taxes on guns and ammunition in Cook County violate the state’s constitution because they affect law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment right to acquire firearms for self-defense.
Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis wrote in a 6–0 decision that the taxes violate the constitution’s uniformity clause, while also pointing out that the revenue from the generated tax isn’t directed toward funds or programs that reduce gun violence.
“While the taxes do not directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right to use a firearm for self-defense, they do directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right to acquire a firearm and the necessary ammunition for self-defense,” Theis wrote in a 14-page opinion (pdf) filed on Thursday.
“Under the plain language of the ordinances, the revenue generated from the firearm tax is not directed to any fund or program specifically related to curbing the cost of gun violence,” she noted. “Additionally, nothing in the ordinance indicates that the proceeds generated from the ammunition tax must be specifically directed to initiatives aimed at reducing gun violence.”
The justice concluded that the case will be remanded to the circuit court “for entry of summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs.”
In 2012, the Cook County Board of Commissioners approved a $25 tax on the retail purchase of a firearm within the county. The county’s Firearm Tax Ordinance was enacted in April 2013.
A separate county tax was enacted in 2015, which added $0.05 per cartridge for centerfire ammunition and $0.01 per cartridge for rimfire ammunition. Americans who fail to pay those taxes are subject to a $1,000 fine for the first offense and a $2,000 fine for subsequent offenses.
The trade group and gun-rights organization, Guns Save Life, challenged both taxes in a lawsuit against the county, saying they violate the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
A spokesman for Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle said on Thursday they are disappointed in the ruling and will work to determine the next steps.

....Don't be too encouraged. The Illinois Supremes left them a way out that even a Chicago pol can follow:
“Under the plain language of the ordinances, the revenue generated from the firearm tax is not directed to any fund or program specifically related to curbing the cost of gun violence,” she noted. “Additionally, nothing in the ordinance indicates that the proceeds generated from the ammunition tax must be specifically directed to initiatives aimed at reducing gun violence.”
It would take even a rookie Chicago alderman about five minutes to set up an utterly useless level of bureaucracy to cover the letter of the ruling. Not that a single dime of that money would ever reach anything resembling a worthy cause.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] OPEC will not change its strategy, and it does not have to solve a problem that it did not create, Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Asharq Channel in a TV interview.
The Saudi minister stressed that there must be a regulator for the markets adding that everyone should be aware of what OPEC has done to achieve this regulation.
The Saudi Minister of Energy considered that the shortage in the market in gas supplies is a result of policies that were previously taken, including lowering the production of electricity from gas.
“Accordingly, investments declined, causing a shortage in gas markets today,” the minister added.
Prince Abdulaziz said during the interview that Saudi Arabia’s goal of zero carbon emissions can be achieved before 2060.
“This goal will not have an adverse financial or economic impact in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia seeks to be a source of confidence for all forms of energy. We have capabilities to produce and integrate new forms of energy into Saudi Arabia’s economy and exports,” the minister added.
Prince Abdulaziz added that investing in clean energy does not mean stopping investment in oil.
“The goal is to reduce emissions, not cutting to use oil,” the Saudi minister added.
“There is no contradiction between investing in energy and caring for the climate. The world cannot live on a single source of energy, or even on a few sources, but the world needs all the energy sources available,” the minister added.
Prince Abdulaziz added that there are three things the world must not compromise on; “energy security, economic growth, and sustainable prosperity, and confronting climate change.”

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] China Evergrande Group said on Sunday it had resumed work on more than 10 projects in six cities including Shenzhen -- a statement that comes after it appeared to avert default with a last-minute bond coupon payment last week. Evergrande, deep in crisis with more than $300 billion in liabilities, has not disclosed how many of its 1,300 real estate projects across China it has had to halt work on.
The company said on Aug. 31 that some projects were suspended because of delays in payment to suppliers and contractors and it was negotiating to resume building.
On Sunday, it said in a post on its Wechat account that some of the projects it had resumed work on had entered the interior decoration stage while other buildings had recently finished construction.
Evergrande added that its efforts to guarantee construction would shore up market confidence and included several photos of construction workers on different projects, stamped with the time and date.
China’s second-largest property developer last month also promised potential buyers it will complete building of their homes and said that work on one of the world’s biggest soccer stadiums in the southern city of Guangzhou was proceeding as planned.
Last week’s move to pay $83.5 million in interest on a US dollar bond has bought Evergrande another week to wrestle with a debt crisis looming over the world’s second-biggest economy.
Highlighting the stresses on its core business, Evergrande also announced on Friday plans to give future priority to its electric vehicles business over real estate.
Evergrande’s woes have reverberated across the $5 trillion Chinese property sector, which accounts for a quarter of the economy by some metrics, with a string of default announcements, rating downgrades and slumping corporate bonds.
Its debt crisis is also being widely watched by global financial markets concerned about broader contagion.

[GEO.TV] Bhubaneswar, Odisha: A 17-year-old man in India's Odisha has been arrested by police after he sold off his young wife to a 55-year-old man to buy a cellular phone.
According to a report by The Hindustan Times, the teenager, who got married in July this year, found a job in Rajasthan to work in a brick kiln factory where he met the 55-year-old man.Police have rescued the wife, 26, from the south-eastern Rajasthan district of Baran after facing "great difficulty" because the villagers resisted handing over the woman to the police, saying that they had paid for her.
Per the police, the man took his wife to Rajasthan with him in August when he started the job but only a few days later, he decided to sell her to the 55-year-old man for ₹1.8 lakh (PKR4.18).
After obtaining the money, the man splurged money on dining and then bought himself a smartphone. Later on, he returned to his village and when the woman's family asked about her, he lied that she had eloped.
Police said that the woman's family did not buy his story and decided to lodge a complaint with the police. Upon further investigation, it turned out that that the boy had sold his wife off.
The report says that since the boy was under 18 years of age, he was sent to a juvenile court. The court ordered the man to be taken to a correctional facility.
What about the villagers who’d clubbed together to make the purchase?

Why do so many well educated western elites cling to the notion of "universal values," e.g. a universal attachment to notions of individual dignity or human rights? Where did we get this absurd notion of a single global culture?
Aside from the purely physical -- like an attachment to comfort, or cell phones -- we have nothing in common with the savage primitives described in this article. The most backward rustic in America or Europe will react with fury to the idea that a young husband can sell his wife for a mobile phone.
We need to kill this idea that we have anything at all significant in common with the Global South.
We owe them nothing, and we are best advised to have as little to do with them as possible.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Scientists in the US used a camera connected to a brain implant to help a blind person see again, NPR reported.
The former teacher who had been blind for 16 years had the device implanted in her brain with no disruptions to brain activity or other health complications, according to a study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Researchers from both Spain and the US advanced what they call "a long-held dream of scientists" to give a basic form of sight to blind people by sending information directly to the brain’s visual cortex.
"These results are very exciting because they demonstrate both safety and efficacy," said Eduardo Fernández of Miguel Hernández University in a statement.
"We have taken a significant step forward, showing the potential of these types of devices to restore functional vision for people who have lost their vision."
After a training period, the test subject was able to decipher basic visual information fed from a camera on a pair of glasses directly to her brain.
The effect of the device was somewhat limited; the test subject could not identify all the letters of the alphabet.
Her brain implant was inserted through a "minicraniotomy" in which researchers made a 1.5 inch hole in the subject’s skull.
A clinical trial related to the study is scheduled to continue through May of 2024.
