A grown man pointed a loaded gun at someone, pulled the trigger, and killed them. Someone telling him to point the gun at someone and pull the trigger doesn't change that.

Ultimately Mr. Baldwin is the person who pulled the trigger. He is at the very top of the list. There isn't any room further up the list.

If this was anywhere other than a Hollywood set I would agree.

firearms safety doesn't apply if a director gives you a lawful order to disregard it

What if it had been a pyrotechnic with a detonator given to an actor to get the timing of the effect right, the director told the actor that they were going to do a dry run with an inert detonator, and then an explosion happened because the stunt guy set things up wrong? Is the actor in the wrong for not second checking the effect?

No, because that would not make any sense at all. Actors are not infantryman or soldiers, theyre rich drama kids.

How is anybody supposed to be able to check a revolver to determine if it is loaded with live rounds or blanks without either pointing the gun at their own face or unloading and the reloading the gun themselves? The entire purpose of the armorer and other support crew is to make sure that a gun is loaded or unloaded properly when it is handed to the actor because some safety rules need to be violated in order to actually make a movie.

No he pointed presumed safe guns at people at people on a Hollywood set and needs to be executed.

To put it in context, a University of Texas assistant football coach left his wife and children for a pole dancer with the monicker Pole Assassin. Pole Assassin owns a monkey, which is sometimes part of her act. Mr. and Mrs. Pole Assassin set up a haunted house/maze for children at their home on Halloween, which is where the attack took place. Her Twitter account, deleted in the past few hours, seemed to confirm the attack happened and blamed the child for being on part of property he/she was not supposed to be on. Which may or may not have been clearly marked. She Tweeted a picture of the sign, but someone else accused her of putting it up, post-monkey attack.

Seagal carries himself on the battlefield as only one who is the spiritual successor to Morihei Ueshiba can. While he knows the Way of the Gun, he also knows that the true warrior is a weapon in and of himself when he is devoted to aikido. A true aikidoka need not carry the rifle as though he intends to use it; instead, he uses ki as his weapon.

The first rule of tier one shadow wolf warrior sheriff operator school is always peek around corners with your gun down while fumbling. You don't have time to do things like "technique" when there are puppies and chickens to run over in your bearcat.
