Nice to know they've made that determination.

There's dissonance in a law that forbids him from striking her
but says nothing about her emphatically asking for it.

The article says he hit her phone, not her.

But then the article also says he didn’t know the gun was loaded.

Do you realize how much of an obnoxious, stupid, blithering, idiot
scumbag you have to be to make Alec Baldwin seem sympathetic; to
create a video that makes me feel sorry for Alec Baldwin? 'Cause
usually when I watch an Alec Baldwin video, the emotions I'm
accustomed to feeling are irritation, revulsion, scorn. I didn't
think it was possible for someone to do or say anything that would
make me side with Alec Baldwin, but here we are.

In any interaction with Alec Baldwin, you automatically get the
benefit of the doubt because you are not Alec Baldwin and he is.
In order to squander that advantage, you have to go out of your way
to be as unpleasant as humanly possible. And she managed to do it
in less than a minute. I mean, really, quite an achievement.

It was almost reminiscent of BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE's finale, where
Michael Moore hounds gun-advocate Charlton Heston around his own
home. Later we learned that Heston was dealing with Alzheimer's, but
even on its own the scene undercuts any humane aspect to Moore's
message.

I mean really, you can convolute the fuck out of things but to whine
about a fuckhead who smiles about people being required to pry the gun
out of his "cold dead hands" (or skeletal bones, as the case may now
be) vs the granddaddy of mass shootings is out of whack even by your
standards.  How do you put two and two together and keep coming up
with fifty million?

 
The point is that Moore's visible torture of a decrepit old man evoked
an instinctive viewer-response that transcended policy/politics.  It was
a simple failure of technique, costly to his persuasiveness.
