He’s probably right about that. Sucks to be him.
Deep pockets and the fact you shot two people killing one of them 🤪
And probably because he was the producer or the movie, and held and fired the pistol. And never attended the safety meetings. Probably those things also to one degree or another.
Not for long.
It’s because he pulled the trigger.
Frankly, I'd rather see you in prison for 20 years.
No doubt he was goofing around with her. Its hard enough to hit a person with a handgun with one shot much less kill them outright. If one drew a cone from the muzzle to the distance from the victim, not exceeding a 45 degree angle, I’d bet <1% of the endpoints would be on the victim and 10% of that would be body mass. He was pointing right at her. Had to be.
Who pulled a loaded firearm, pointed it at a woman, pulled the trigger, and killed her? No Alec, I don’t think you committed negligence? I think you committed murder.
He is a part owner of the movie production company. Yeah,
he was going to be named. He pulled the trigger. Not sure
why he thinks that’s solely related to deep pockets.
The local DA hasn’t seemed to move with sterling speed on
this one.
I would think charges would have been handed down within a
week or two. They could have been augmented later.
It doesn’t seem right that it has been this long, and they
are still frittering around.
I’m judging Baldwin like I would anyone else in this situation.
This is a tragedy. I’m not glad Baldwin is involved. He
was. This is how it works.
I hope there is adequate discovery of exactly what did
happen, and that Baldwin gets no more or no less than what
the next guy would have received in punishment.
I don’t care if he gets sued, or why.
I certainly care about whether he is charged with a crime or not.
Honestly I am surprised he has not moved all his assets into florida realestate and stfu
but since he thinks he is one of the 2 victims I guess what he is doing makes sense to him
Yeah, there’s really no smoking gun connecting him to the case, oh wait.....
He’s a real piece of work….as well as a piece of ****.
Sounds to me like he’s laying the foundation for an insanity defense.
I know some people want to argue with me about who was "responsible".
But the moment you pick up a gun YOU are responsible.
Don't talk to me about what some one else may or may have not done.
YOU pointed it at someone. Another living human.
And now they are no longer living.
And that is all on you.
I knew that from the time I was a tiny child I was taught two things. Every gun I picked up was loaded and I was never to point it at anything living unless I was in danger from that thing.
If I could learn that at age six and be trusted with my own shotgun at age eight he is well able to comprehend that.
That he did not want to learn is all on him.
Net worth is about $60 million
He was the director and producer. Thus he is liable for all actions of those on the set. I can not understand why he was given a weapon and did not make sure it was safe. That violates all rules of safety.
I myself have been shooting since a teenager and am 73 years old today. I have a gun range on my property and shoot often. I also shoot with friends. When a gun is given to me by a friend although I have seen him clear the weapon I assume there is a live cartridge in the chamber. I thus clear the weapon myself.
My exception to this is when he or she hands me a weapon and says, “there is a cartridge in the chamber.” I then treat the weapon as such. He or she will make damn sure the weapon is on safety before handing me the weapon or they will not shoot on my range again.
Glocks are different subject as the safety is built into the trigger. I have Glocks and they are my number one defensive weapon. I do not like that feature in the Glocks. I much prefer a side mounted safety.
A 19ll is great. It has three safety mechanisms in its design. It will not go bang unless you really want it to go bang. To take it off safety is just a flick of the thumb and pulling the hammer back. I carry mine off safety at the half cock position and merely need to pull it back to full cock to make it ready. This takes a fraction of a second. It is a very safe weapon that is quick to go to full ready.
It is a big weapon thus I normally carry a Glock that is easily concealed. If out in the countryside I carry the 1911. Both are wonderful weapons.
Baldwin violated all protocols of gun safety. He as such must pay as the shooter, the director and producer.
No Alec, it is because you are ultimately responsible. You pulled the trigger. As uncomfortable, as life changing, as generally eff’d up as it may be - you, your actions resulted in the death of an innocent person. There is no equivocation, no spin, no laying off the blame to others. You pulled the trigger, she died.
malex, mebe you should be extra carefull, genius
