Two things to remember, shit runs down hill and celebrities are for the better part are protected by their celebrity status. Just as are politicians.
The crew were target practicing in their down time. That is what has been reported. Just like everything it is now a wait and see.Has anyone given explanation as to why there were live rounds on the set??? That’s the part I’m so confused about.
The poster listed Alec was least culpable. My reply was to him specifically and not American society.Same reason Hunter Biden is free. Same reason the Clantons, Hollerey* especially are free. Same reason Nixon was pardoned by Carter......
You been under a rock for a while dude? Is everything OK at home?
*I'm not ready to suicide myself just yet Thank you very much......
This blows my mind - just consider the logic: "Hey, I;ve got an idea... in between takes where we shoot blanks at each other, let's take those guns out and shoot some real ammunition from them, then after we are finished, we'll go back to shooting the blanks on set - who's with me??"The crew were target practicing in their down time. That is what has been reported. Just like everything it is now a wait and see.
Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.Us mere mortals would be prosecuted so why do the “elites” get a pass?
That was after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, correct? lol.Same reason Nixon was pardoned by Carter......
Didn’t you hear? They’re talking about banning guns in movies now! Problem solved? Who could’ve predicted it would ever happen to the elites who care more about optics than learning about the tools they vilify. I sincerely hope their idiocy loses them hundreds millions of dollarsI agree with your comments 100%.
Additionally, it always irks me when I see vocal anti-gun actors making a bazillion bucks playing a variety of roles with guns in their hands, blasting people away as part of their money making character...and now we know at least one who apparently didn't know much if anything about firearm safety, and apparently relied on the "expertise" of others...so he now may be portrayed as also a victim of evil guns.
Yep, gun safety 101.It’s not that hard to check or ask to be shown whether a gun is loaded. Case and point, I read an article earlier today quoting an actor on another show (which ironically films at the same site in NM where this incident occurred) and he said that a gun’s condition is demonstrated to them by the armorer and they actors check it themselves every time they are handed a weapon on stage.
Oh hell yeah! If he did? Betcha he'd earn a sh!t-ton of respect from folks that might be on the fence about him!One of the funniest Twitter comments I’ve seen;
“Wouldn’t it be ironic if SNL invited Trump on to play Alec Baldwin”
I’m calling BS on this one. When you handle a gun, whatever happens with that gun while it’s in your hands is on you. Period.Alec Baldwin fan here. I don’t agree with all his politics but like his fIlms.
have been in LA around some “entertainment“ people the last few days that I have known for years back to when I played a little bit in proximity to the movie industry. Most very left leaning anti gun. Lots of spirited discussion about this.
I asked one lady that thought Baldwin should be charged if she would feel the same if he was driving a car on set and the brakes failed, would she charge him? it would be a hard ask to expect an actor to inspect the car Brakes, right? Film sets are complex. Lots of moving parts for even small films. Through in guns, pyrotechnics, moving vehiles, mechanical set pieces and there are a lot of things that could hurt or kill you on a movie set. No way the guy in front of the camera is responsible for all that. The responsibility was primarily the armorer and it sounds like she was a dumpster fire. Maybe the Assitant director or some others could be blamed. You might be able to run that all the way up the flag pole to the producers since theRE seems to have been some signs that the armorer was incompetent that were ignored. IMO there is no way an actor can be held responsible for for the final check on a firearm. I would go so far as to say that idea is flawed because most of them aren’t expert enough to perform the checks. Maybe for a cowboy revolver but imagine if they hand Keanu reeves all the 6 guns he’s going to shoot in a John wick scene and say “it’s your job” or if they ask Arnold to clear and check that minigun he uses In the terminator. NO way that is on the actor. There are people on the set whose only job is handling the weapons and there are other people to oversee those people.
