Alec Baldwin returned to somewhat normal Twitter behavior this week for the first time since an on-set shooting he was involved in left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead.

Baldwin issued a statement the day after the incident noting that he is cooperating with authorities as they investigate and offered his condolences to Hutchins’ family. Since then, he was completely silent on social media as he and his wife Hilaria traveled to New England.

On Saturday, Baldwin seemingly returned to business as usual on social media, first by complimenting the Halloween costume of actor and comedian Mario Cantone. He then retweeted a thread about the importance of teachers.

Finally, he returned to commenting on politics Saturday night in response to political author Kurt Anderson, who asked his followers for examples of other "once-great American institutions misleadingly operating under their old names?"

"The federal government," Baldwin responded.

Moron is too ignorant to tuck tail and lay low. This will bite him IMHO.

Nope

I would have thought something this terrible might have affected this guy on some level, it doesn’t look like it. If it were me I would close down completely and look for salvation and redemption somehow. Is Alec going to????????

[syriacus]

For years, Alec’s father, who was a HS social studies teacher, coached the school’s rifle team. I’n surprised that Alec didn’t pick up gun safety tips from his Dad.

When Harvey Weinstein was confronted with his crimes against women, his response was to brag how much money he would spend to defeat republicans and global warming.
This is how liberals think.

Anyone could point a gun straight at someone and pull the trigger. I’m sure you’ve done this a lot of times, haven’t we all?

Actually, it happens every day on movie sets. This is why safety on set is so critical, and the presence of live ammunition is absolutely unacceptable. By some of the accounts coming out, the set of Rust was a clown show. And Baldwin was in charge.

Ashli?

"The point is, he took possession of a gun, never checked to see if it was loaded,
pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger. Absolutely no excuse."

Single action revolvers also require the hammer to be pulled back, simultaneously
rotating the barrel for the next round.

This action normally is activated by the thumb of the hand holding the revolver.

On a .45 caliber revolver, the hammer spring requires a significant physical effort
to set, not easily activated by accident.

baldwin is as equally guilty, if not more so, as the other handlers of the firearm.

I mean how many people do you know who can kill a person and injure another with one shot…..

[Big Red Badger]

Agreed,
The interview was a mess,
His Wife,,,
The same.

[Secret Agent Man]

at the very least manslaughter, no intent, just massively gross negligence

the armorer and AD are also clearly negligent

[Guenevere]

That assessment carries weight

[Az Joe]

Sounds made up

[BiteYourSelf]

Well,he’s not wrong.🤔

[ArcadeQuarters]

Alec Baldwin killed a woman and Rep. Jim Banks used the word “man”. Guess which one was suspended from twitter.

[alexander_busek]

He killed her. Not “a woman died”

"Someone did something and something else happened as a consequence."

since an on-set shooting he was involved in left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead.

It's almost like he wasn't even there.

"...since an on-set incident which Baldwin witnessed, leaving him terribly traumatized, and which left Hutchins unavailable for comment."
