Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza told the outlet that 'guns don't just go off. So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, [Baldwin] did that and it was in his hands.'

Baldwins effors at trying to lie his way out of this do nothing more than prove what a lousy actor he truly is!

Old single action revolvers can “go off half-cocked” if you pull back the hammer and let it slip, without ever having to put your finger on the trigger.

Of course, the media doesn’t seem to want to do basic research to ask these key follow up questions. Was the hammer pulled back? Did it get caught on your holster? Your sleeve?

baldwin is getting special treatment. He has the responsibility for the effects of the shot that he fired. It may or may not be criminal.

Well if he cocked the damn hammer and released it it would go off without pulling the trigger, right?

One thing’s for sure, Alec Baldwin is as big an idiot as we all thought.

It’s conceivable (though extremely unlikely) that he cocked the hammer on a loaded gun with live ammo, pointed it at someone, and the sear failed causing it to fire. That it killed someone’s IS HIS FAULT: he cocked the hammer on a loaded gun with live ammo and pointed it at someone - violating 3 of the 4 rules. He prepared to shoot, save only for a fallible hair trigger to do so. He admits guilt.

Reasonable doubt it was murder, sure.
Beyond a reasonable doubt it was reckless endangerment turned homicide.

Ok, so, If guns can go off at any time, without the holders consent, we can agree that pointing it in someones face for any reason, even to make a crappy movie, should be at least Murder 2. Intentional killing.

The Michigan shooter can use the same excuse “I Never pulled the trigger it just went off” the Waukesha terrorist can use the same excuse “I didnt plow the car into anyone it just moved by itself”

Just reading....the 4 live rounds found on the set were unique. Sounds like they can track them. They should have prints on them.

We were not born yesterday. Alec Baldwin pulled the hammer back and pulled the trigger after pointing at the woman he killed. He is trying to hide from what he did. He cannot. He shot and killed an innocent woman by playing around with a gun.

The Montgomery County Sheriff Office posted this hilarious message to the public on their facebook page last Thursday,

Prior to wearing someone else’s pants, please remove all drugs, drug paraphernalia, stolen property, or any other illegal items the “owner” of the pants may have left behind. “These are not my pants,” is not an affirmative defense.

"When asked if the shooting was the worst thing that ever happened to him, Baldwin replied: 'Yes. Yes, yes."

Pretty sure it was even worse for Halyna, Jackwad.

What does he mean guns don’t go off by themselves? Has he ever watched the News on TV? Most of the TV News Stations have been telling us about guns needlessly killing people all on thier own for years.

Yes yes. Single action revolvers can have very light triggers. None of this changes that fact that he had to cock it first. And if you let the hammer slip on those old pistols without transfer bar safeties they can go off too. And if you drop them with a live round under the hammer even when it isn’t cocked it can go off. This is why you NEVER POINT AT GUN AT ANYTHING YOU DON’T INTEND TO SHOOT.

He still held the gun. He is still responsible for its discharge, accidental or not. These lawyers are just trying to confuse the issue and give the Soros DA an excuse to let Barwin off scot free.

And he,and the 99.9% leftist media, are going to repeat this sick lie, enough times, until it becomes the truth!

So something I have not heard anything on. He shot and killed a cinamatographer, and (I guess) the single bullet hit her and then hit the director. Doesn’t she have her murder on film? Certsinly would show who really pulled the triger. But seeing how this is a magic bullet, I don’t discount a 2nd gunman on the grassy knowl.
