A phenomenon known as the Trump effect takes many forms. But it is real.

Around 20 years ago, a second tier male actor, whose name I have forgotten, playfully picked up a prop pistol, put it to his head, and fired.

Brain dead for a couple days before they turned off life support.

I think this is the first USA gun prop fatality since then.

Bad luck for the dead guy and the wounded guy.

On the other hand, I am really cheered up by the thought of neo-Marxist Alec Baldwin lying in bed, wide awake at 2 AM, and his heart beating 120 times a minute.

If it was a “prop firearm”, why was it loaded with a live round? And who had loaded the round? Can’t access the Slimes article to read details without giving them my email address.

With all of the untold thousands of movies and telescreen shows that have been produced that have involved gunshots, I can’t ever recall hearing of anyone who was actually shot or killed on the set during filming.

Why in the world would they be using live ammunition in this day of ubiquitous CGI fakery? A “prop gun” misfire?

Something stinks to high heaven here. Looks like Bullwhip Baldwin was dealt a giant dose of karma. I hope this ends his miserable career once and for all and costs the studio a boatload of money.

prayers for the family of the man he killed. baldwin is an asswipe and was joking around and this will be claimed as an accident.

baldwin will then be a hero to the left for championing the cause of gun confiscation.

baldwin is an idiot and probably did not take a safety course.

Prop Guns are loaded with blanks. Apparently not in this case.

From reading several other articles on this story, this line keeps coming up:

Officials say that an investigation is underway into how and what projectile was discharged from the prop gun during the fatal incident.

Perhaps Alec thought it would be funny to put something in the chamber on top of the blank, and shot at the two people as a joke, expecting them to be covered in chalk dust or whatever, but instead whatever he put on top of the blank became a "deadly projectile."

Director of Photography Halyna Hutchins:

Who points a firearm at a beautiful woman on the set of a movie where the woman isn’t even a cast member? - and he miraculously pulls the trigger and critically injures another person who isn’t a cast member as well.

This is a man who has always been known for his anger issues. He was hitting on the cinematographer and she rebuffed his advances so he killed her. God knows how the director got hit too - trying to protect her from him?

Fantasy unexpectedly and suddenly becomes reality for a man who routinely acts in films glorifying gun violence, and yet while not acting calls for guns to be banned. He should reflect on that,

How does a blank from a prop gun kill one person and wound another?
Did he shoot once or more than once?
Why was he shooting at people who were not acting as part of a shooting scene?
Why was he shooting a prop gun, anyway?
If the claim is made that he didn’t intentionally shoot the gun, how did it go off?

I wonder if anybody will ever know what really happened. Prayers for all concerned, especially the victims.

I don’t handle guns. Don’t like them. That’s my personal thing. But even I know you ALWAYS assume a gun is loaded and you NEVER point it at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Never. Under any circumstances.

There are a lot of questions but at least # 2 is WHO LOADED THE GUN?

Despite what radical marxist democrats think, a gun doesn’t load itself.

Just like Ted Kennedy killed more people with his car than regular citizens have with their gun, anti-gun Alec Baldwin killed more people with a gun than regular citizens.

It's 2021. How is it that a Hollywood production crew can't safely film a firearm scene in a movie where EVERYTHING is fake?

The five rules of firearms safety:

1. Don't ever let the government take your guns.
2. All guns are always loaded.
3. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
5. Identify your target (and what is behind it).

A Alec Baldwin production... it took on his personality.

Just hours before the fatal Thursday accident, in which Hutchins and director Joel Souza were shot, seven of the film’s camera crew packed up their personal gear and walked off the job, citing a wide range of complaints. Several of those who quit wrote letters of resignation.

“We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of Covid safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety! Poor on-set safety period!” a member of the camera crew wrote on a private Facebook page. After the walkout, “They brought in four non-union guys to replace us and tried calling the cops on us.”
