Alec Baldwin's shocking reaction to being told he had killed Halyna Hutchins
Marca ^ | 4/28/22 | DAVID PADILLA

Posted on 04/28/2022 8:22:12 AM PDT by conservative98

Dave Halls, the assistant director who gave Alec Baldwin the gun, admitted that he did not check the gun before rehearsing the scene because he was convinced it contained dummy bullets.

Baldwin's shock after hearing the news of Hutchins' accidental death "I could have killed myself if I thought I was responsible for Halyna Hutchins' death," Baldwin admitted.

"I dream about the accident constantly. I wake up the moment the gun goes off."

Footage of Alec Baldwin's statement has leaked

A video from the day of the incident has now surfaced in which police investigating the death of the cinematographer are taking a statement from Alec Baldwin.

At the beginning of the interview, the 64-year-old actor was told the harrowing news.

"No," said Baldwin, who immediately put his hand to his mouth.

Alec Baldwin in shock A deafening silence fell over the interrogation room for a few long seconds as Alec Baldwin was in complete shock, covering his mouth and putting his hand over his heart.

"I want to call my wife," he stated.

Baldwin then walked out of the room with his hand to his forehead

Nonsense - THE PERSON who pulled the trigger bears responsibility.

If his high self-righteousness had taken the 30-seconds necessary to verify that the single action was indeed “cold” the lady would not have been shot and he wouldn’t have conclusively demonstrated his gross ineptitude.

Guns don’t kill people- Alec Baldwin does.

“Who put the live ammo in the gun? THAT person killed her. Has anyone determined this yet?”

Baldwin was supposed to verify the dummy loads were in the gun and he didn’t follow safety protocol.

They really should change protocol to be that the person firing the gun must be the person to load the gun in the first place.

I’m not a attorney but it would seem that Mr Baldwin should be facing a charge of gross negligence manslaughter. After all, hasn’t he shout to the rooftops how dangerous firearms are?

Yes the armoror looks incompetent, but there is no evidence she loaded the gun.

The AD did handle the gun, and should have checked it

The assistant director of “Rust” who reportedly handed Alec Baldwin the prop gun that killed Halyna Hutchins was fired from a previous production gig over another firearm incident.

In 2019, when Dave Halls was an assistant director on the movie “Freedom’s Path,” a gun “unexpectedly discharged,” injuring a sound crew member, the production company Rocket Soul Studios

Baldwin should have checked the gun, and should not have aimed it at anyone.

“I got this sinking feeling that the little millennial armorer is gonna take the fall for the whole thing and baldwin is gonna walk away from it without a scratch.”

She wasn’t even in the building when the assistant director handed the gun to Baldwin. A violation of safety protocols in itself. I think the assistant director who handed the gun to Baldwin without checking it is going to be the scapegoat.

I don’t know if I could tell a dummy load from normal ammo as I’ve never seen one. How does one tell the difference? TIA

I would say clearly the guy is a mediocre actor at best.

And, like with his other performances, no one should buy this one.

What would be shocking would be IF he came out and a
Said “as producer and actor in the movie, I take full responsibility for not having checked the gun myself as I should have, and for ignoring all safety protocols, of,which there were some 17 crucial safety lrotocols that I arrogantly ignored, and for refusing to have safety lessons taught to me before the scene”

Everything else he might say is a worthless blatant lie meant to,save his own hide while two families remain victims while he arrogantly,denies thay he had anythingmto do,with gheir deaths

I had never heard of an “armorer” being on a movie set, until this shooting happened.

Apparently there are safety standards, chains of custody, etc. with guns on a movie set. And apparently there is a gross violation because someone got killed.

I heard that this was some low budget movie being produced by Alec Baldwin’s own production company. So it seems that legally, Alec Baldwin and his company have great legal liability here, even if Alec Baldwin as a individual is never charged with any criminal actions as an individual.

His company could have judgements against him for many millions of dollars.

He may be radioactive as far as further acting or entertainment industry jobs. We’ll see on that one.

No

Baldwin aimed a gun he did not check at a person. Pulled the hammer back and let it go

Exactly. He was also,the producer and manager of the movie, and he refused to take necessary precautions. He ignored something,like 17 different crucial safety regulations, and it ended yp,costing a person her life.

A person on a gunrange who steps out of a vehicle upon arriving, knocking the gun agaisnt something, causing it to go off, killing someone, can’t make the excuse “Well it’s not my fault because I was under the assumption that the gun was unloaded because someone told me it was”

That’s wrong.

What people fail to realize is that a movie set does not have its own legal jurisdiction.

If you shot someone in your home or anywhere else, do you think you’d be able to blame someone else? Do you think you could argue that it was the responsibility of someone else to tell you it was loaded?

Do you think that you could assign a family member or your gardener the title “armorer” and then tell the police your “armorer” handed you the gun, so it’s their fault?

Of course not, and if you can’t blame your “armorer” - why should an actor be able to blame his “armorer”.

A movie set does not have its own set of laws, nor its own legal jurisdiction.

[[Rule one is that you always treat every weapon as if it was loaded...]]

After decades and decades of accidental shootings, one would think that this would be standard knowledge by now, but evidently it’s not with some people like baldwin.

They walked,off the set,because baldwin was ignoring safety protocols, not because it was the amoror’s first day if true.

Baldwin proved the case against himself during police questioning. Atty Andrew Branca’s take. https://lawofselfdefense.com/the-hunt-for-red-manslaughter-alec-baldwins-damning-police-interview/

Arec claims the gub just went off by itself, magically apparently. He immediately tried blaming everyone else. He is a scumbag. Had he come out and shown remorse for his actions right away, and had he followed safety protocols to,the ‘t’ beofre hand, people could have at least sympathized somewhat wit him, but still held him accountable, but he chose to arrogantly and selfishly deny any wrongdoing whatsoever- he wouldn’t even admitmto,a smidgen of neg,igence on his behalf.

His denial is disgusting
