He was a producer, hence he has much more responsibility for on set safety than someone who is just there acting. He also knowingly ignored long established safety protocols regarding the handling of firearms on set. I'm absolutely not saying, with the evidence available, that he should be charged with negligent homicide, but he is definitely more culpable than many are stating.
As a producer, he is civilly liable because of the working conditions that caused staff to walk off and for the employment of a negligent armorer. He and the rest of the production staff will face some serious liability claims and they need to. The glee I have seen from some, though, has been really bad. This isn't to say my affinity for dark humor hasn't led me to chuckle at some of the memes, especially because I can't stand Baldwin, but at the same time you have several ruined lives, one of them completely lost, with this incident. The firearms community should come together to show compassion but seek accountability. The approach we've seen from some will be used against us for a long time.
