As for being blue check verified, have you considered there are other men named Alec Baldwin?

Remember the accident on the Twilight movie set, where a fake explosion caused a helicopter crash that killed Vic Morrow and two kids?

And in a TV show where they were using muzzle loaders,someone was impaled because they left the rod inside.

Well, it sure tweets a lot about Alec Baldwin the actor for an account by someone else named Alec Baldwin. Maybe complain to Twitter then, because they verified the account. Perhaps they can clear this up.

There are 3 ways to be verified by Twitter:

1. The website in your bio must include a link back to your twitter account. Since the link on his official site goes to an old, non-existent account, that's not likely how this account was verified.
2. Photo ID.
3. Email address from official website domain.

Why was Alec Baldwin pointing a “prop gun” at a cinematographer?

Probably shooting into the camera. A common shot in Hollywood films.

I hate Baldwin's politics, but it's not his fault. Duties are heavily segregated on big budget films, often by union mandate. Only the wardrobe mistress is allowed to touch the clothes. Only gaffers are allowed to move cables, etc.

The Props Department was responsible for prepping the gun. The Director told Baldwin when to shoot, and in which direction. Baldwin likely did as he was told, as do all actors.

said, "You really have to wonder if Baldwin had been unsuccessfully hitting on her and “pretended” to shoot her in his frustrated passion."

needed to be said again
Thanks

How did they get a blue check?

The incident sounds like a movie plot; or a tee vee series’ episode.

Without doing some research, I think there was an episode of Perry Mason in the second series where a star shoots the film’s producer on set.

Like many anti-gun lefties, they diss guns but do violent movies. Strange.

Just like Ted Kennedy killed more people with his car than regular citizens have with their gun, anti-gun Alec Baldwin killed more people with a gun than regular citizens.

It's 2021. How is it that a Hollywood production crew can't safely film a firearm scene in a movie where EVERYTHING is fake?

The five rules of firearms safety:

1. Don't ever let the government take your guns.
2. All guns are always loaded.
3. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
5. Identify your target (and what is behind it).

Baldwin is a fake, so who cares.

"Was that taken afterwards?"

Yes, after his press agent showed up.

Alec is a rabid antigun zealot and he’s killed someone with a firearm.

The important question is: WAS IT A REGISTERED PROP GUN?

I also hope that it wasn't a "high-capacity" prop gun.

The set was filming a western. If they had period correct guns, the prop gun would/should be single action. If so, the difference between one shot and two eliminates accidental discharge. Be interesting to follow.

Good posts; thanks for the ping, bitt.

Not directed at you Janet, but that statement makes no sense. What possible use would you have for any live ammo on a movie set?

And who hands another person a firearm without checking the load?

It is way, way to early for any of the stories to be taken without a huge grain of salt.

[Religion and Politics]

Why was even a prop gun loaded with blanks, which can be deadly pointed at the woman and why was his finger on the trigger?

Pretty good questions. He didn't even shoot actors. What is it we have all been taught? A gun is always loaded? Never point at what you won't shoot?
