Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed Female Cinematographer, Injured Director on Movie Set

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

No clue, I certainly would pursue civil charges at least. As a member of the lizard clan, Alec Baldwin has deep pockets

He should be in deep shat. Why arrest someone that defends themself but not a person that points a gun at an innocent person and pulls the trigger? Was he supposed to be funny and pulling a joke?

Ultimately the blame imo rests on Alec Baldwin, when the weapon came into his possession it was his responsibility

Without jumping on the band wagon here... I alway check a firearm when handed to me even if I just watched someone check it...

I mean my habit is to ALWAYS check.

+1

You won't die from checking a firearm too many times... but you can die from not checking it enough times...

Every. Single. Time.

I know re-enactors that use blanks or just powder and wadding depending on the firearm/era. When they participate in these re-enactments who do they point the gun at when firing? NOBODY.

With all the cameras on site where is the footage of the shooting and what prompted Alec Baldwin to point a gun and pull the trigger?

The cameras traditionally don't roll between takes, as this was.

If the revolver is period correct, it is unlikely to break open so the cylinders can all be easily checked. It's more likely to have an ejector rod.

That would explain hiring such an inept armorer.

 

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

Since they have a person that is hired to be in charge of the weapons I would think somebody should swing.

What would be the response if a child found a parents loaded gun, aimed it at someone and shot them dead? Should Baldwin be more capable than a child?

It's hollywood, they was probably all screwin'

The internet sometimes doesn't get humor across. Especially for an autistic person like me.

Is this a joke about Baldwin being stupid? Or a serious question?

A serious question, considering many of us learned this as children. It was once considered Common Childhood education.

and now someone who makes massive $$$ Producing Entertainment centered around Firearms,,and surrounded by Professionals in the various fields,,and somehow there is a Massive Cluelessness surrounding him..

yes,,it is a serious Question..
Why was he not in Cuffs? an anti-gun fanatic who just shot 2 people is No Joke.

All of what you're saying is why it really shouldn't be a serious question.

Baldwin should be held accountable. He should not be treated as the equivalent of a child who got their hands on a gun they never should have gotten their hands on. The fact that some other person was supposedly in charge of the weapons doesn't absolve him of any responsibility as the person who deliberately pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger.

Having a bottle of whiskey with you, is mandatory, if you want your shooting practice to reflect how you could shoot in a real-life situation.

Thats why I'm so good . learned to shoot straight as a youngster. As a young man I honed my hunting skills by being able to hit all the hard shots from any position .I n my first eight years in the Army I learned to shoot just as well under less than desirable circumstances , drunk or sober I never miss .

Ah, trap set. Who will put their foot in?

Baldwin certainly should be more capable than a child. But should he be more culpable?

I love how Trump says he's going to prison when he didn't even wear handcuffs for a minute. Now the majority of his Deranged Forces will never believe Baldwin skated, because Trump Said.

That'll keep those particular sheep quiet about the double standard they suffer under.
