Alec Baldwin took the unusual step for a public figure of protecting his Twitter account Tuesday amid growing criticism over his and his wife’s use of social media to comment on the fallout of the actor’s fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin’s Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation account showed Tuesday that its tweets were now protected, potentially meaning that he and his wife can view and control who sees his tweets. Baldwin apparently changed the privacy setting around the same time he used his Instagram account Tuesday to hit back at reports that allege there were a number of safety concerns on the set of his Western film, “Rust,” prior to Hutchins’ Oct. 21 death.

Baldwin shared a lengthy, detailed Facebook message from “Rust” costume designer Terese Magpale Davis, who said she was “sick” of the narrative “being spun of us being overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions,” Yahoo reported.

Davis said those claims are “bull—-” and slammed crew members who walked off the set over safety and financial issues.

“The Curse of the Gunnies” strikes again!

The “curse” is when anti-gun people are caught using a handgun to kill or injure someone.

How the live round got into the gun is irrelevant to Baldwin’s legal jeopardy here.

He pointed it at a human being, cocked it, and pulled the trigger. That is criminal in all 50 states.

Everyone involved is a Libtard idiot that could plead stupidity to a jury with a straight face.

The Lawyers are just sowing seeds of reasonable doubt. when they are done, there may be a trial(s), but nobody is going to jail. New Mexico isn’t Texas.

There was an episode of Monk where a detective accidentally gives a chimp a loaded gun to see if a chimp could in fact pull a trigger and shoot someone. Much to comic relief the gun goes off and shows it is possible. Whenever I see scenes like this on TV I cringe, especially when it involves a cop as anyone with a hint of intelligence would check any gun they were handed.

That is criminal in all 50 states.

But it may not be prosecuted in all 50 states. Depends on the prosecutor and pre-trial hearing.

I don’t think her (the armorers) tactic will work for her, given her prior screwups on her last film, blowing out Nicholas Cages’ ears with a gunshot.

When you hear the “Whistleblower” respond to questioning, you’ll change your mind. She is terrible, but he is the perfect patsy to pin something on. Only a black out drunk would be better.

When his story starts changing (to hide drug use, past criminal activity or just trying to make himself sound more important) he will be defense attorney gold.

[Secret Agent Man]

I agree with you this will be her attorney’s defense

However that changes nothing about what screwups she had on the prior film, and her and the crew firing live rounds with this gun after hours the night before the shooting

plus then she lied to cops when she said she gad no idea 500 live rounds were on set premises, total lie as she was firing those rounds the night before

Great points, and you’re probably right, although the MSM tries to keep PDJT from getting any oxygen if they can help it.

Anyway, good thinking.
