Alec Baldwin, armorer to be charged over ‘Rust’ shooting
One America News ^ | January 31, 2023 | Andrew Hay (Rooters)

Actor Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will be charged on Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Western “Rust” in 2021, a New Mexico prosecutor said.

The charges follow 15 months of speculation whether District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies would find evidence Baldwin showed criminal disregard for safety when a revolver he was rehearsing with fired a live round that killed Hutchins.

The “30 Rock” actor has denied responsibility for the shooting, saying he cocked the revolover but never pulled the trigger and it was the job of Gutierrez-Reed and other weapons professionals to ensure it was unloaded.

Not to worry, Arec has a young Fall Gal to take the rap for him.

Still, it's pleasing to imagine Baldwin in a maximum security general population setting.

As someone said, he could have slip-fired the weapon

But where would Saturday Night Liberals get their next jerk to denigrate President Trump with constant falsehoods? (oh, never mind)

Going back a bit...it was well advertised that he picked out the gun personally.

He also co-wrote "Rust"...a story about a young man who accidently kills someone and is on the run.

And his father...who he was close to...taught Riflery. To excuse him in any way as being "gun stupid" is ridiculous.

All mine are mad at me because I pay more attention to Mrs. Patriot.

Sometimes the process is the punishment. Now he has to have this worry over him, spend money and time with lawyers. Watch what he says. Get processed by the jail.

The GOP needs to learn this and do it to any democrat that supports biden and is in a position of power (like judges). It’s what the democrats did to trump.

Yeah.

Still, if he’s focusing on the “acting” and not handling properly (finger inside for the shoot - no pun intended)

I don’t like him at all, though he was good in Red October.

He’s definitely a class A jerk. As time has shown.

Unfortunately. You should have seen the crazed liberals at Yahoo. Crude, without facts, pushing the MSM’s lies......

It was like the Two Minutes of Hate from ‘1984’.

Daily, though.

"This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."

"Are you referring to the Russians, sir?"

"No, Alec Baldwin is behind us with a gun."

Not to worry, Arec has a young Fall Gal to take the rap for him.

She's more than just a fall gal. It was her literal job to ensure all firearms on set were safe. And this was her very first gig as head armorer on a film. (Her father is a famous Hollywood armorer which is probably how she got the gig.)

The problem on Rust was that with the budget being so small, they had the Armorer pull double duty as the Property Master, so she was elsewhere that day taking care of regular props, not babysitting the firearms.

And that decision to make Hannah pull double duty falls squarely on the producer, who was? Oh yeah, Arec Bawin.

What an ass he has been.

He controlled and ran the set.

Gutierrez-Reed said she checked the rounds she loaded in the revolver were dummies before handing it to first assistant director Dave Halls.

This is different to articles that were written when the shooting happened. Some articles suggested she wasn't allowed inside, so she left the gun on a cart outside the door of the church..
