He pulled the trigger. Manslaughter charge is appropriate. Then once they sort things out, others may be involved as well.
I can’t wait to see the SNL skit on this. I hope they hire President Trump to play Alec Baldwin.
what is the delay?
“The actor has repeatedly claimed he didn’t pull the trigger”
No one in their right mind believes that for a second......HIM included.
I have NO faith in our system of justice any longer... He’s skating.
Could be wrong. Hope I’m wrong. But he’s skating.
Two things...he personally picked out the gun....
And..."Rust" is about a young man who accidently shoots someone.
Just hard to get the two things out of my mind.
They had a weapons guy who complained about the lax weapons security.
So they fired him.
They hired an incompetent person, who also used the guns for recreational target practice.
This person is in charge of CERTIFYING that the guns are safe for use on the set.
They didn’t do their job, and handed him a gun to use with a LIVE ROUND in it. Meaning they didn’t do the most basic effort of opening it and checking that it is empty.
I actually feel a little sorry for Baldwin, I can’t imaging the horror of accidentally killing someone... BUT he was also the producer in charge of hiring the incompetent crew, when the previous crew WARNED HIM of this.
If he was just the actor, I would not hold him responsible at all.
My daughter, who is NOT what I would consider conservative...tries to be middle of the road....went through a 9 hour CCL class on Sunday. Her big take away? Alec Baldwin murdered that woman. She’s right. There’s no way that Baldwin could NOT have known all the safety protocols that go with guns. He’s been around them and used them all his adult life. It wasn’t carelessness. It wasn’t an accident. For some reason he killed her.
“The Sheriff’s office is referring to this incident as a shooting investigation,” Sheriff’s spokesman Juan Rios said. “That detail will be addressed by detectives as they work their case.” The Sheriff’s office did say that the shooting occurred “during filming of a scene.”"The Sheriff's Department has confirmed it was Baldwin who pulled the trigger during the gun accident. 42-year-old director of photography Halyna Hutchins died from her injuries."
"As we've reported, Alec and co. were rehearsing for a shoot-out scene inside a church. Alec, the lead, was using a .45 Colt revolver. Baldwin reportedly said, "So, I guess I'm gonna take this out, pull it out and go, 'Bang!'" -- at which point, Baldwin actually carried out the gesture and fired.
It must be serendipity that this story is posted by you today. Earlier this morning I was going through old DVR recordings came across one for the TV show “The Closer”. Alec Baldwin was guest starring has an overbearing father who also happen to be high ranking in the LA County Sheriff’s Department. I’ve always thought that Alec Baldwin was a good actor; but he played into this role of an overbearing butthole father that was a entitled jerk all too easily. I think that is his natural self.
