Alec Baldwin wept as he described accidentally shooting dead his cinematographer on the set of his film Rust during an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

-snip-

He insists that he never pulled the trigger but said it appeared to inexplicitly fire on its own.

'The trigger wasn't pulled, I didn't pull the trigger,' he said, often having to pause to collect himself, or wipe away a tear.

'I would never point a gun at anyone at point a trigger at them, never.'

It's not yet known why the weapon was loaded with a real bullet.

'Someone put a live bullet in the gun - a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property,' Baldwin said.

“...it appeared to inexplicitly fire on its own.”

Inexplicitly, inexplicably, they sound about the same so they must mean the same. Illiterate journalists are becoming the norm.

"My opinion of him as an actor has risen."

That performance was done on the fifth take.

It was one of those new self-shooting guns.

Alec, would you cut ANYBODY else slack over what YOU DID? No. Hypocritical of you to ask others to “pretend/accept” that you didn’t pull that trigger. You didn’t even check the gun. You didn’t even need the gun for that scene in the first place.

If somebody else had done what you did, WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU WOULD BE ACTING. Pot viewing kettle.

Trick shooters at times have completely smoothed off the set sear so that a speed gun could be fired just by “fanning “ the hammer, for instance.

What if you pull the hammer part way back and release before it cocks? Does the trigger make any difference in that scenario?

He’s pathetic, all he cares about is his own ass. What kind of question is “Is this the worst thing that ever happened to you?” What the hell? Worst for HIM? What about the woman he killed?? Why is he even giving an interview??

If Baldwin was really worried about charges against him, he wouldn’t be on TV talking about it to Snuffluppagus. He would have an attorney sitting beside him.

So yes, this is all an act to create sympathy for his wretched self after stupidly and carelessly killing that woman.

Because he knows he is going to get a pass and wants sympathy for the terrible “accident”. He is a foul person.

He sure seemed happy as a clam on Halloween. Not a care in the world. Now he brings out the tears

Could he start to cock it, and let the hammer slip?

Might it then go off?
