Alec Baldwin: Lawsuits over ‘Rust’ Shooting Are Targeting Me Because I Have ‘Deep Pockets’
Breitbart ^ | 7 Mar 2022 | DAVID NG

Posted on 03/08/2022 7:52:03 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Alec Baldwin responded to the lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for last year’s fatal shooting on the set of the indie western Rust, claiming he is being targeted because he is wealthy.

The Boss Baby and Saturday Night Live star made the comments during a public event at the Boulder International Film Festival in Colorado on Saturday.

“What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, ‘well the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,’ ” Baldwin said, according to video footage obtained by CNN.

Baldwin appeared to be alluding to the movie’s head armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and assistant director Dave Halls, who are believed to be the last two individuals to handle the firearm before it was given to Baldwin.

“So we have people that are suing people that they think are deep-pockets litigants,” Alec Baldwin added. “Why sue people if you’re not going to get money? That’s what you’re doing it for.”

Baldwin is facing a wrongful death lawsuit from the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was was killed after the gun Baldwin was holding discharged on the New Mexico set of the movie Rust last year. The actor has maintained his innocence throughout the case, claiming he didn’t pull the trigger.

All you said that can be laid directly at his feet & the jerk is throwing the “victim” card. It’s “all about him”. I hope the husband & son of the dead woman empty those deep pockets.

Exactly. It’s moronic for him to pretend he is the target of the litigation solely because of deep pockets. There is a long list of reasons he is the target. He earned that status.

Can’t have everybody who gets the “vaccines” having adverse reactions at once.

That would be bad “optics.”

Only 5% of the production lots contain the special ingredients at any given time.

That’s why the vaccines don’t actually prevent the illness and why “boosters” are required.

Every time you get a “booster” you have a one-in-twenty chance of hitting the “adverse reaction” jackpot.

And people will think it was just your time to go and never consider the terminator vaccines as the culprit.

And that story won’t fly since that particular model won’t do that unless it malfunctioned/damaged.

Hmmm, wonder why they are not targeting Bill Gates or Warren Buffet since they have even deeper pockets...oh yeah right because they didn’t shoot somebody dead.

I am surprised by how much he has said after the shooting, and the tone-deafness of much of it. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, he is a hot-head.

Pulling back the hammer is part of the process of firing a single-action gun. You don’t pull the hammer back at all if you don’t intend to fire the gun.

I don’t think the jury will buy his excuse.

Um, maybe it was because he was holding the gun that killed her?

And an itchy trigger finger, poor decision making skills, and gutter character.

People for whom he votes routinely target businesses with deep pockets, appealing to envy of wealth and crackpot liability theories.

With his temper nobody would be surprised if he killed her on purpose.
