Alec Baldwin under new pressure: George Clooney says he should have checked gun, conservatives call for arrest
Mercury News ^ | November 16, 2021 | Martha Ross

George Clooney said he doesn’t know Alec Baldwin well, doesn’t believe he or anyone else on the set of “Rust” intended “to do anything wrong” and calls the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins “a terrible accident.”

However, Clooney raised new questions about Baldwin’s actions on the set of the low-budget Western, both as the actor handling the gun that killed Hutchins on Oct. 21 and as one of the film’s producers.

In an interview on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast, the Oscar winner called Hutchins’ death “infuriating,” given strict gun safety protocols put in place on film and TV sets following the deaths of his friends, actors Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee in 1984 and 1993, respectively.

“Every single time I’m handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I’m pointing it too, I show it to the crew,” Clooney said. “Every single take.”

Clooney, who has worked as an actor and director on film and TV sets for 40 years, continued, “Part of it is because of what happened to Brandon. Everyone does it. Everyone knows” that is the protocol to follow.”

LOL, that was Tim Robbins:

Let me tell you how all this works: you see, Team America is funded by the corporations, so they fight for the corporations... while they sit in their corporation buildings... and they’re all corporation-y... and they make lots of money!

George Clooney grew up in Kentucky and had real jobs before he went to Hollywood. Alec Baldwin grew up...well he never grew up but is from New York, not far from New York City where people proudly claim their ignorance of all things other than what the television told them.

” following the deaths of his friends, actors Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee” -— LOL. George is very annoying, and probably lying.

Imagine the depths of decadent depravity that people have descended if they actually seek or take moral guidance from George Clooney and his Hollywood ilk.

George Clooney has been acting since the 1970s. He was on the “Facts of Life.” I would not trust anything he says. He is one of the phoniest of the phonies.

Why do they EVER have live rounds on a movie set?

Indeed. Try explaining that to Alec’s fan base. They just don’t want to hear it....and neither do the millennials who don’t believe anybody is responsible and there should be no consequences...except for specific groups....But certainly NOT their IDOLS IN HELLYWEIRD!

OOOOHH GREAT, now that Looney Clooney has cleared Baldwin, no harm no foul, nothing to see here.....except the rabid anti gunner Baldwin didn't follow the simplest of NRA safe gun handling rules......don't point a gun at anyone, unless you intend to shoot.....hmmmmmm.
