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.

The trigger pulled itself!

To be fair I have handled weapons that had such a hair trigger that I accidentally fired them just barely putting my finger on it. Me no like.

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

Is this what he’s going with? Laughable. Baldwin is in a load of trouble. He should lawyer up and shut up. He’s in Weinstein territory.

If it was a single-action revolver, someone had to cock the hammer and then someone had to pull the trigger. It doesn’t work any other way.

Who was holding the gun? Alec Baldwin? Done.

Everything else is ancillary.

Outrageously disgusting how “news” is doing PR for a killer. Criminals gotta stick together.

Baldwin’s lawyer approved the interview and coached him what to say.

Baldwin’s lawyer’s defense will be “No one witnessed Baldwin pull the trigger”.

The witnesses have only said they heard the gun go off, but didn’t see Baldwin pull the trigger.

Gee, this photo reminds me of his crocodile tears in the movie, “It’s Complicated.” George’s wife was also in that movie. I can’t see Georgie conducting an interview that would put Alec in a negative light.

‘’I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger’:”

But you did Alec, you did.

The witnesses will be asked if they witnessed Baldwin pull the trigger and they will say no. They only heard it. The fix is in with the Soros DA.

Santa Fe DA is a Soros DA with a terrible conviction rate. Amateur. And a lesbian too.

I know. It was “climate change” that caused the trigger to move. Or “white supremaracism” or something.

I agree. It might have had a very light trigger. He still had to cock the hammer.

The dead lady and the injured dude would be an obvious exception - unless since they’re not in FRONT of the camera they are not “anyone” (of consequence).
