I’d tell him to just shut up, if I were trying to help.
Leftists think they are amazing orators. They think they
can talk the wings off a hawk at 200 paces.
Sadly, they’re just human and come off looking like even
bigger idiots when they try to explain why they shouldn’t
be in trouble.
Alec, just shut up. Nobody is going to buy that you
shouldn’t be in trouble here. A young woman is dead, and
there’s no excuse for it.
Yeh, he just gets himself into more trouble. He also said she was his friend and he took her to dinner, which does not exactly help him. Was he involved with her or coming on to her?
He probably fired it deliberately at her, not thinking it was loaded. At best he was reckless. It is possible that he had fired guns with blanks at people on the set before, and no one would make an issue of it for various reasons or they were not listened to. Some people with money and power get away with things that would get ordinary people fired or arrested and then do worse things until they finally get in trouble.
Was Baldwin’s playing with guns or other gun safety issues related to the camera crew walking off? Did the camera crew walking off or issues with the replacements lead Baldwin to point the revolver at the manager of the camera crew?
There are obviously big failings that apparently neither Baldwin nor the Assistant Director checked whether it was loaded, but that is not surprising given the attitudes of Hollywood managers and stars.
The sheriff indicated they seized live bullets on the set. That is another serious failing, probably not mainly tied to Baldwin.
