I agree that the only reason he SHOULD have been looked at is his role as a producer but I don't think that was the case at all. The ad got a plea deal iirc. It seemed more like the police wanted to get a famous feather in their cap and focused on him as the shooter which was obviously bullshit. Alec Baldwin is a dickhead at least and his wife is weird but blaming him for that was dumb from the get go

    I would say it's getting attention because he's an arrogant prick whose arrogance led directly to a murder and we're all curious if that even means anything anymore.

    Wtf does riffing on Trump have to do with it?

    Calling it some right-wing conspiracy is probably where the downvotes are coming from.

    1. Some serious shit was actually occurring
    2. Alec Baldwin was a huge arrogant asshole about it at first, trying to cover his ass as a producer regarding #1
    3. Trump, as Trump does, makes a pretty singular inflammatory comment about it, which points all his brainwashed minions at Baldwin.

    So mostly I think the point is that there is room for both on this.
