Nolte: Alec Baldwin Makes ‘Rust’ Shooting All About Alec Baldwin … and Trump
Breitbart ^ | 20 Aug 2022 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 08/21/2022 2:35:34 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Alec Baldwin appeared on far-left CNN this week and once again made the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins all about Alec Baldwin. Oh, and Orange Hitler.

Baldwin is on defense again after the FBI released a forensic report that said the gun used to kill Hutchins could not be fired without pulling the trigger.

Well, duh. Guns don’t fire themselves.

Baldwin, however, continues to claim he did not pull the trigger.

“I never once said — never — that the gun went off in my hand automatically,” Baldwin told CNNLOL. “I always said I pulled the hammer back, and I pulled it back as far as I could. I never took a gun and pointed it at someone and clicked the thing.”

You can see what he’s doing here. He’s gilding the lily. In previous interviews, he didn’t qualify his answer with, “I never took a gun and pointed it at someone and clicked the thing.” Well, no one ever said he did. And he’s saying that as though that’s the only way to pull the trigger. This leaves us with this assumption…

If you believe the FBI forensics report and Baldwin when he says he pulled the hammer back as far as he could — which would be all the way back — and that the gun fired after he released the hammer, you know he pulled the trigger. Of course, he did. No, he didn’t whip out the gun, point it at poor Hutchins, and pull the trigger. But he had to have pulled the trigger and kept it depressed for the gun to fire after he released the hammer.

Trump shot Alex but the bullet ricocheted and killed Hylena.

So sad.

The sear malfunctioned and failed to restrain the hammer, and later Donald Trump snuck in and replaced it, so that it looked like I did it. He did! Stop looking at me like that!

Negligent homicide

Involuntary manslaughter

Baldwin needs to face consequences even if it’s millions in damages to the family.

Anyone. ANYONE, handling a firearm must check every aspect of its function and safety.

There was zero reason for having live ammunition on the set and it was Baldwin’s responsibility to know what ammo was loaded, where it came from and who procured it.

AND ..... There should have been a test firing to a secure and safe target before using on set.

AND ..... There was no need for any ammunition because film editors can add flashes, smoke, sound effects to dramatize a shooting scene.

What Baldwin did was so reckless and frankly, stupid, that it calls into question whether he ever grew an adult mind, or whether his adulthood was suspended in some sort of petulant teen state.

But the armorer looked down the barrel and didn’t see any live ammunition/s

Baldwin takes self importance to a new level. Next he has proof Pres. Trump ordered his assassination and the rust gun was supposed to explode in his hand.

It sounds more Clintonesque than Trumpian.

Did Baldwin pick up the gun, aim it at the woman and pull the trigger, firing the gun and killing her? But he says this is Trump’s fault. Surprised he didn’t blame it on climate change.

Have you ever watched, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ with Brad and Angelina? Just TRY counting the rounds fired in that movie, LOL!

Or any John Wick movie!

Or the ‘Matrix’ movies! Or ‘Die Hard’ and all sequels. But, in Bruce’s defense, he ran out of bullets and used a cop car to take out a chopper. My Hero!

Baldwin is, was, and will always be, a self-absorbed douche.

However, a ‘blank’ killed Bruce Lee on a movie set and I don’t think anyone was charged? I’m sure Baldwin will use that in his defense should this EVER go to trial.*

*Highly unlikely. :(

Just about all single action revolvers of today have a transfer bar and unless you pull the trigger back which engages the transfer bar the hammer can fall but it will not cause the gun to fire. In other words, this ignorant bastard had his finger on the trigger ignoring just about every rule what you should not do with a gun, aside from not pointing it at someone unless you intend to kill them. But leave it to Alec Baldwin who I believe is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

From the victim’s husband:

https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/halyna-hutchins-husband-alec-baldwin-today-interview-1312058/

During the interview, Matt — who filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Rust production earlier this month — criticized Baldwin for not accepting responsibility for his role in Halyna’s death.

Although Matt Hutchins and Baldwin met in person following the accidental shooting — “There were a lot of emotions for sure on both sides,” he said — Matt was taken aback by Baldwin’s ABC News interview where he said he doesn’t feel “guilt” over Halyna’s death.

“Watching him, I just felt so angry. So angry to see him talk about her death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her,” Matt Hutchins told Today. “Hearing him blame Halyna during the interview and shift responsibility to others and seeing him cry about it, I just feel like, are we really supposed to feel bad about you, Mr. Baldwin?”

Yes. As a classic Narcissistic Persona Disorder, this is Baldwin at textbook level. Never once mentioning the hell Hutchins little boy is enduring or the rest of her family. Its all about Baldwin and how this has taken years off his life. Seriously those poor children of his. They have little if any chance of growing up to be mentally or emotionally healthy.

At a minimum, I hope Mr. Hutchins sues Baldwin into oblivion!
