Comment on Alec Baldwin charged for shooting;

The scene involved Baldwin’s character removing a gun from its holster and pointing it toward the camera. The trio behind the monitor were two feet (0.6 m) from the muzzle of the firearm and none of them were wearing protective gear such as noise-canceling headphones or safety goggles.
The trio behind the monitor began repositioning the camera to remove a shadow, and Baldwin began explaining to the crew how he planned to draw the firearm. He said, “So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it, and go, ‘Bang!’” When he removed it from the holster, the revolver discharged a single time.
Halls was quoted by his attorney Lisa Torraco as saying that Baldwin did not pull the trigger, and that Baldwin’s finger was never within the trigger guard during the incident.
This would be David Halls, the assistant director.

Since when is noise-canceling headphones protective gear, lol?!

Since… about a decade ago? Noise cancellation/reduction has been an available feature in earmuffs marketed to firearms users for a while now.

Then they aren’t headphones, they are earmuffs with noise cancellation. The insulation in the earmuffs is doing the real work. Noise cancellation by itself isn’t going to protect your ears much at all, if anything.
