'I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger': Alec Baldwin weeps as he denies pulling trigger on gun loaded with 'a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be the property', during George Stephanopoulos interview

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.

GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE (except Alec Baldwin’s gun) PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE! (except Alec Baldwin)

This ranks right up there with: “I didn’t inhale” and “I did not have sex with that woman.”

The lie is so bold and audacious you just have to admire it in all its filthy glory.

It’s obvious, someone pulled the trigger by using remote control.

True, but Baldwin doesn’t know enough about firearms to come up with a rational excuse. We know how ridiculous his claim sounds but he doesn’t realize it. The prosecutor in the Rittenhouse trial showed me just how ignorant some people are about firearms yet think they know it all.

I consulted in a case once of a woman who, while driving her car, stepped on the gas instead of the brake and ran into a pedestrian, killing him. She swore up and down to her dying day that she did indeed step on the brake. Even after being convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a period of incarceration, she never wavered in her belief.

I can believe that this Baldwin guy truly could believe that he never pulled the trigger and the gun somehow “went off by itself.” People have believed stranger things.

One moment of reckless behavior can sure cost you a whole lot
of misery.

I’ve gotten a lot more mellow in my afterlife.

I try to give what I do some thought, and avoid having
to pay for something I shouldn’t have done.

A single action requires you to pull back the hammer AND THEN operate the trigger. That’s why it’s called a single action.

It does NOT self-cock with a trigger pull, nor does it re-cock after firing.

There is NO WAY you could accidentally perform BOTH actions.

Who did pull the trigger Arec? And who cocked the hammer?

Really. He might fool the sorts of morons who infest Entertainment Today. But no one with half a brain is going to buy this crap. It’s pure deflection.

He is a good actor though. I’ll give him that.

Baldwin is being sanitized

Even though he’s a psychopath, he’s a member in good standing of the entertainment-propaganda industrial complex.

C’mon, folks. Take it easy on old Alec. It wasn’t his fault.

Guns have been, by themselves, killing people for many decades. There’s a rogue gaggle of guns ruining the streets of Chicago each weekend. Don’t you read the news?

They need to be rounded up, indicted, arraigned, tried, convicted and then sentenced to melt-down.

Should we place bets now where this interview will be going? “Alec is the victim, the gun is at fault, Republicans, the NRA and Trump prevented new gun laws ergo Republicans, the NRA and Trump are at fault”

Yeah, but the leftist POS did point a gun at someone and pulled the trigger. I have no sympathy for an adult that handles a weapon and knows zero about gun safety.

So was Weinstein, but I guess murdering a girl is less problematic than sexually abusing one so the metoo movement is silent.
