This case reminds me of the case where the female cop thought she was reaching for her Tazer but instead drew her firearm and ended up killing the guy she/they were trying to arrest. They’re similar in the sense that I don’t think anyone thinks either was an intentional killing.
However, that cop is in prison for ??? - I don’t remember. I doubt that Baldwin will serve an hour.
America doesn’t need gun control... It needs crazy actor’s carrying guns control...
Bet he pulls a Polanski and gets out of the country.
Baldwin is getting away with negligent homicide.
He pulled the trigger and he is responsible for what happened.
Ironic consequence of his making money off of Hollywood’s glorification of sanitized gun violence.
Baldwin’s crime is exactly like so many recent mass murders. Baldwin murdered that woman for the purpose of demonizing law abiding gun owners.
It was premeditated murder.
No jail time. Suspended sentence and hefty reparations to the families involved. IMHO
"Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun while filming a scene in New Mexico, causing the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.The Sheriff’s office said in a statement that Hutchins and Souza “were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor.”
“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.
Saying he knows little about guns..His father taught riflery...
As to the gun that killed...he picked it out personally.
No way do I sign into the NY Slimes to see this.
Lock him up.
So does this mean he won’t be attending Shot Show?
I’m shocked that Baldwin was charged with anything. His arrogance, public blather, and refusal to accept any responsibility must have really aggravated the prosecutor.
Civil lawsuit to follow.
Look for him to skip the country.
There is a reason he suddenly decided to move to Vermont.
Interesting, the most meaningless thread on the page and it has easily the most comments. I’m guilty too, I commented.
The irony. The point where make-believe and reality collide.
It’s a Democrat state where the film industry is rather powerful. Don’t expect more than a slap on the wrist.
