Alec Baldwin shooting

[flatlanderhuffandpuff]

I'm not surprised. If he wasn't who he is he would be in jail.

How in the hell do worn parts cause a single action revolver to accidentally fire unless it's been both deliberately aimed and cocked!!!

Alec Baldwin Again Charged With Manslaughter in 'Rust' Shooting.​

Still say he’ll walk on this second round of criminal charges. Time will tell…

“We look forward to our day in court,” Mr. Baldwin’s lawyers, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, said in a statement on Friday.

What an arrogant thing to say.

I hope he sits in a cell, but I'm a realist. He'll be lucky to see probation.

I just wonder if they delayed charging him to build a better case against him.

Almost always the case for normal folk, hard to say when it comes to big money and politics.

Maybe he’s a nut job,wanted it to happen to get his rocks off and blame it on the situation?a lot of stranger things happen every day.

I don't see this as arrogant. A lot of times a defendant will wait months for a court date only to have it moved back while prosecution works to build a case. These things can go on for years and most of the time a defendant will just want it to be over so the waiting and wondering can end.

If they get one housewife who sits around watching the view, Oprah Winfrey, or inside edition, the best they can hope for in a hung jury.

They already charged him (indicted him) once, but the firearm in question was allegedly damaged by the FBI forensic lab. They (prosecutors) decided it was best to drop the charges because of that and regroup. They were able to replicate the damaged firearm and conclusively found that the firearm would not fire w/o a trigger pull (same as the original results).

I'm sure his attorneys will try to get the "new" evidence thrown out, but am guessing that the prosecutors have already figured that in and are comfortable in defending the "new" evidence.

You ever notice how so many big celebrities have someone close to them die violently or under questionable circumstances? There's a price to be paid when you sell your soul.

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.

Just read this holy cow you are going to get roasted.

Watch a few of your favorite movies with guns, my friend. 100% guarantee you that to get the camera angles they want that those guns are pointing at a whole lot of people that are behind the scenes. It literally happens all the time In that business. That is why you hire smart, capable people to handle guns, pyro, stunts, etc. and rely on them to do their job.

Or simply check it before pulling the trigger.

in case anyone is interested in understanding how prop guns are handled On sets...

Theatrical Firearms · Actors' Equity Association

I thought it was just a gun, not a prop gun?

 

[Happy Antelope]

So let's go down the list.

If a pilot if flying, loses power because a mechanic didn't reattach the dinglehopper, and crashes killing passengers is it the pilot's fault?

That makes no sense, if the gun actually had malfunctioned and simply blown up with a blank in it and she died, then you were correct it would not be his fault.

Unfortunately the gun worked perfect.

Now if the pilot trusted the co-pilot that the landing gear was down, didn't check it himself and crashed into the ground then it would be the pilots fault also.

Well at the end of the day I think he’s a dirt bag just like deniro and if you believe in it or not sometimes karmas a bitch.

 

[mntnguide]

We had a local Marine, killed in action, on the final pull out when Biden pulled troops. Baldwin made comments on his social that because the family was pro-trump, he basically deserved to die. The family received threats and hatred from baldwins followers telling them their Son, Brother, Husband, Father; all titles the marine was; deserved to die. What kind of POS entitled prick says things like that? I have absolutely zero respect for Baldwin, and wish the worst for him, which I'm sure won't happen.

I still think it holds. We’ll see if he gets tried, much less convicted.
