Violated pretty much every safety rule there is, but it will be the prop master’s fault. Definitely not Baldwin.
The “projectile” went through TWO victims?
That’s some shooting, Alec.
Bullshit
Agree with your assessment.
"I-I-I just don't understand...I know she was alive when I must have passed out..."
Bullshit
NEG-A-TIVE!!! He was holding the weapon. It is most certainly his fault for violating every firearm rule there is. I’m quite sure he has been trained.
A new name for the movie, “LIBTARD JUSTICE”
A hypocrite calling for a gun ban is getting paid to glorify gun fights.
Then kills and maims others being paid to glorify gun fights and no doubt both are gun ban advocates.
Poetic doesn’t even begin to cover this event
Aiming at the camera while giving dialogue. Cinematographer at the camera and director directly behind watching the screen playback.
“It will be as if she never existed.”
Ban Alec Baldwin!!!
How the hell did this happen? I hope the families sue the crap out of him, and Hillaria takes her brood back to Spain, by way of Boston.
If Baldwin shot them as a joke while assuming the gun had blanks, he should be charged.
So I guess the movie script called for Baldwin to shoot the director of photography??
Right ?
The real question would have to be, why was live ammunition on the set? I'd suspect old hot-head Baldwin had a score to settle with those two people and hopes nobody can prove it wasn't an accident.
I know that guys in Ranger School will take a deer with a section of cleaning rod using their issued blanks.
Bullshit, joke or not, he’s guilty.
True, although the gun is real. The blank cartridge has no bullet.
Also, a safety test is supposed to be done before handing the gun to an actor. The safety officer aims the blank at a sheet of paper placed at a distance from where the "victim" will be. If any ejected gunpowder reaches the paper, different blanks with less grams are tried until the right one is found.
I wonder if, due to budget constraints, a safety officer was not present at the set. An untrained prop person put live rounds in the gun.
Maybe just one round was live. Maybe Baldwin did it on purpose. Just think, isn’t the director someone who could attract hot-head’s attention?
He's so anti gun...you'd think he would treat it as if it was a real gun. I believe that treating it as such would be a norm.
No matter....He throw some money at them...the family will sue the studio....and Baldwin will sleep just fine.
