Alec Baldwin calls for police to be present on movie sets to monitor gun safety: LIVE UPDATES
Fox News ^ | 11/8/21 | Fox News Staff

Posted on 11/08/2021 8:16:31 AM PST by conservative98

Alec Baldwin took to Instagram to share a tweet he penned on his now-private account that declared his desire to see a police officer on sets to monitor weapon safety.

"Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety,” he wrote Monday.

Baldwin has been at the heart of an ongoing debate in show business about the use of real firearms on sets after a live round discharged from a gun he was holding on the set of "Rust" last month resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Alec is a trainwreck of a human. Not sure what went wrong with him. Musta been something amiss from the get go.

after a live round discharged from a gun he was holding on the set of “Rust” last month resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.


And how did that live round get discharged? There seems to be reluctance to say that he pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. The media reports are saying, as we see here, the gun went off, implying that nobody knows why that happened, and in any case, the accidental discharge had nothing to do with Baldwin.

Actually, what he’s saying is ...

“Every home that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer in the home, hired by the state, to specifically monitor weapons safety,” he wrote Monday.

Cops have nothing better than to go to movie sets and monitor idiot producers.

There have been literally 100’s of thousands of movies made featuring weapons and only a very few have had deaths.

No what we need is smart producers who know how to put together professionals to make a movies not tantrum throwing liberal aholes in over their heads.

What an ass this guy is. There’s nothing a police officer could do on a set that an experienced union armored couldn’t do. But the great movie producer Alec Baldwin evidently didn’t want to pay for a union armorer. So he hired some chick instead.

As it goes, this latest stupidity by Baldwin isn’t even a good deflection.

I don’t get it. He wants police to monitor the use of guns? But liberals oppose police, want to defund police and all that? I get confused..............

“No. That’s not our job. That’s your job as producer, and your armorer’s job.”

Lol, can’t say all of em but the Glock instructor on YouTube does come to mind.

“I’m the only person in this room qualified to handle this gun… BLAM! Oh S***!”

Money quote from the article.

Alec was holding a prop gun that somehow went off on the set and discharged a live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

Yeah that’s where we need police - on movie sets protecting the elite.

Baldwin needs to call the police to come and arrest him for manslaughter and/or negligent homicide.

While generally frowned upon by media elites, use of the passive voice seems to come into its own when reporting on the misdeeds of leftist icons.

Baldwin is a vile narcissist who shamelessly projects his guilt on others. He is a true manscum of the Left.

Guns fire themselves all the time. Didn’t you know that? (sarcasm rating 300%)

This does not sound like someone who is expecting to be charged with a crime. Will he get away with his gross negligence that resulted in someone’s death? Celebrities are treated differently than ordinary people.
