White people are seemingly getting more bold in the South. Whether it’s a white woman killing a Black man unprovoked, or a group of racist white men threatening a group of innocent Black women, it just doesn’t seem to stop.

This latest example might be even more disturbing.

Last week, a white couple in Conway, South Carolina, was arrested after they allegedly erected and set fire to a cross outside the home of their Black neighbors over Thanksgiving weekend.

According to the Horry County Police Department, Worden Butler and Alexis Harnett were both charged with second-degree harassment.

Even though this is their most blatant and disturbing act yet, Butler and Harnett allegedly have had a history of harassing their Black neighbors, Shawn and Monica Williams, with racist remarks, threats, disturbing claims, and now this.

New Mexico prosecutors have charged actor and producer Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter for the 2021 on-set shooting during the filming of Rust that killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who loaded the pistol which killed Hutchins, were both charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, prosecutors said in a statement to VICE News. Each charge carries a maximum possible sentence of 18 months in prison.

First assistant director Dave Halls, who handed Baldwin the gun, has pleaded guilty to “negligent use of a deadly weapon,” said the office of Mary Carmack-Altwies, the district attorney whose jurisdiction includes Santa Fe. A copy of the plea agreement was not immediately made available but includes a suspended sentence and six months’ probation, according to Carmack-Altwies’ office.

“If any one of these three people—Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez Reed or David Halls—had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today,” special prosecutor Andrea Reeb said in a statement to Variety. “It’s that simple. The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the ‘Rust’ film set. In New Mexico, there is no room for film sets that don’t take our state’s commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously.”

Luke Nikas, an attorney representing Baldwin, said in a statement to VICE News that the decision to charge Baldwin “distorts Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice.”
