A judge ordered Alec Baldwin to face a civil trial over negligence after he fatally shot a producer on the set of ‘Rust.’

Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza on the movie set of ‘Rust’ in Santa Fe, New Mexico in October 2021.

Serge Svetnoy, a lighting technician who was almost hit with a bullet while on the set of Rust filed a lawsuit and claimed he suffered emotional distress.

A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge on Friday allowed the lawsuit to move forward.

Alec Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

NBC News reported:

A judge ruled on Friday that a civil case against actor Alec Baldwin over alleged negligence on the “Rust” set in 2021 can proceed to trial this fall.

Serge Svetnoy, a gaffer on “Rust,” first filed a lawsuit in November 2021, alleging that he narrowly missed being hit while on set that day. He claimed that cost-cutting and corner-cutting measures on the Western meant that Baldwin, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and other producers “were consciously aware of the wrongfulness and harmfulness of their conduct.”

He alleges that he suffered from emotional distress due to negligence on the part of Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maurice Leiter allowed Svetnoy’s claims for punitive damages, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress to move forward.

In a case filed by Santa Fe prosecutors, Alec Baldwin was previously charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

In July 2024 Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice which means prosecutors cannot refile the case.

Alec Baldwin’s defense team accused state prosecutors of concealing evidence. In a stunning move, the judge dismissed the charges in the middle of the trial!

The radicalization of hysterical-sounding young leftist women alone justifies the dismantling of the American education system.

Conversely, the rightward shift among Gen Z men offers hope for the future.

In a short video posted across social media, a backpack-wearing young man, surrounded by other backpack-wearing young men, calmly explained to two young female abortion supporters why their bodily autonomy argument cannot hold water.

“I’m against you guys telling women what to do with their bodies,” one young woman said.

“We can’t have a moral opinion?” one of the men asked.

“Not on my body,” the woman replied.

Then, a very calm and rational young man interjected.

“Wait, I just have a question for you,” he said. “So, the Holocaust. Was the Holocaust wrong?”

At that point, a second young woman grew animated and acted as if the young man had asked something unreasonable.

“The Holocaust was f***ing wrong, yeah, okay,” she replied.

“Yeah, exactly,” the young man said. “You’re condemning Nazis for killing Jews when you’re not a Nazi or a Jew. It’s something that doesn’t involve you. How can you have a moral opinion on something that doesn’t involve you and then tell me — ?”

The first young woman, now louder and more agitated, interrupted and threw the young man’s question back at him.

“How can you have a moral opinion on something that doesn’t involve you?” she shot back. “You are a man. So just f***ing keep your d*** in your pants until you’re married.”

The young man, to his credit, ignored the vulgar outburst.

“You just proved my point,” he replied.

“What is your point?” the first woman asked, hand on her hip in a dismissive posture.

“I’m saying that you can have a moral opinion on things that don’t directly involve you. You’re saying that the Holocaust is wrong; it’s because murder is wrong. Me saying that abortion is wrong is also saying that murder is wrong.”

The exchange was part of a street outreach from Abolitionists Rising. One of the men with the Christian anti-abortion group wore a shirt that read, “Stop Ignoring Child Sacrifice.”

In sum, one could scarcely imagine a clip that more thoroughly encapsulates the modern abortion debate.

On one side, we see hysterical and brainwashed young women ranting about bodily autonomy. On the other side, we see a young man calmly explaining why he has a right to insist that they not murder their babies.

Moreover, in tone and substance, the young man sounded like slain conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk. The apparent college setting accentuated the comparison.

If this clip is any indication, then Kirk left America’s young men in a very good place.

The Democrat party is going to continue to push more and more radical candidates because their base loves it.

They are like a dog with a taste for red meat. They aren’t going to go back to running “normal” candidates.

The latest squad-endorsed radical headed to Congress is Analilia Mejia who said that Jesus Christ was likely a democratic socialist.

She also said that toilets are socialism. There is a joke there somewhere.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Far-left activist Analilia Mejia has just been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway in the special election to fill the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill.

This win narrows the already razor-thin Republican majority in the House and hands a powerful platform to one of the most extreme voices in the Democrat Party.

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in March, Mejia is no moderate. This Squad-endorsed Democratic Socialist has a long history of unhinged statements, including claiming that Jesus Christ was “likely a Democratic Socialist” and bizarrely declaring that public toilets are a form of socialism that critics should stop using if they oppose big government.

Mejia, a former national political director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign and co-executive director of the far-left Center for Popular Democracy, ran on a full-blown socialist wishlist that reads like a blueprint for economic destruction:

• Abolish ICE entirely and open the floodgates to illegal immigration.
• Universal healthcare and childcare for all because nothing says “affordability” like making every American taxpayer foot the bill.
• A punishing $25 federal minimum wage that will crush small businesses, spike unemployment, and drive up costs for everyone.
• Massive tax increases on the wealthy and corporations to fund her giveaway schemes.
• Cancel all student loan debt and provide free tuition for college

Democrats are going to continue to run these sorts of candidates because their base now demands it.

Elections have consequences, and the consequence of allowing these people to hold serious power would be the total destruction of our country as we know it.
