Alec Baldwin: I didn't pull the trigger!

[Fishman15]

If this isn't a case for gun control I don't know what is. I mean guys...we can't have guns just randomly shooting people on their own! Time to outlaw all guns...

[kusok]

Lmao! They made it into a money making tv special!!! What a surprise! Gotta make some money on the dead girl while the corpse is still warm. Nice people.

[Ramoneb87]

It is essentially impossible for a revolver to go off on its own. I guess there is an off chance if the hammer was cocked back already an abrupt violent motion could set it off, still super unlikely

[hendrixfreak70]

Definitely happens way more than we think, according to them. People don't kill people, in their minds. It's always the gun. Didn't watch and hope Baldwin has nightmares forever because of how crappy of a person he is. Bet he doesn't though.

[ClivesTriceps]

Yeah, and boxers don't punch, they headbutt each others' fists.

[gun-G]

Career actor shedding big tears...Two oscar nominees George and Alex.

All i know is maybe the first shot was an accident, but how do you explain the 2nd shooting?

Mass shooting, hollywood style

[GreatOldOne]

Not watching but how would that even work?

An old rimfire single action that you just drop the hammer on trying to decock it? Is he saying he pointed it too hard and it went off?

Hmm.

Stupid conservatives on fox comments “I feel bad for him despite not liking him because it was an accident”

When you do things accidentally you have remorse or some guilt, you don’t blatantly lie and try to push a false agenda. No respect to the dead girl

This dude should be in jail PERIOD. He killed someone, you don’t know and I don’t know if it was an accident or not to push exactly what he is lying about now. Guns don’t fn go off on their own in this situation that he was in

Nobody should feel bad for this fn clown. Literally

Anyone who knows about how guns work knows that they don't just "go off". The trigger has to be pulled. Especially with a revolver. In rare cases chambering a round in a semi auto magazine fed weapon can cause an accidental discharge if the firing pin is a a fraction of a millimeter too long, or if the weapon is older and doesn't have drop protection.

[monty097]

The gun killed them, just like the SUV killed the people in Wisconsin.


Lol @ these retarded libs.

Looks like video editing my ABC News to get people to tune in.

Can't older revolvers be fired just by repeatedly pulling and dropping the hammer?

[ymer]

crocodile tears

These guys are psychopaths

Finger has to be on the trigger to fan a revolver (I assume that’s what your talking about)

You just hold the trigger and quickly pull the hammer back after each round

[dabbmw2002]

if it was a single action revolver he could have accidentally fired it by pulling the hammer back partially and releasing it before it fully cocked.

Raw. Highly emotional. One man's electrifying quest to prove his innocence against all odds.

10/10 Feel good hit of the season.

And here you are thinking that’s beneath them.


Seatard strikes again.

[Seatard]

Hmm.

LOL Sounds like that's what he's getting at doesn't it.

HE didn't pull the trigger, but the character he was playing might have.

[Seatard]

And here you are thinking that’s beneath them.

What?

[Antoine99]

It's true, one time I was walking outside and I looked behind me and there was this gun following me like kind of levitating in the air, so I looked back and the gun looked away and whistled trying to act innocent, so I kept walking and looked back again and the gun was still following me, then I started to run and the gun came up to me, shot me and ran away, so I was like wtf these damn guns going off by themselves again!

[InPhase]

He's playing the victim and wanting sympathy. What a complete POS this guy is.

[memcop]

BRB getting my defense ready on TV

What a douche

He's a narcissist. He can't admit he did anything wrong. It must have just "happened". Blame it on the gun. Blame it on whoever put the bullet in the gun. But, don't blame it on poor Alec Baldwin. He's the real victim here. Sure, he'll shed some crocodile tears for the lady who died, but never forget that he's the one suffering. He was holding the gun when it went off. Can you imagine what that feels like? To be holding a gun when it goes off on its own and shoots two people?! I mean, it takes real courage to sit down and relive those moments all over again in a puff piece interview designed to salvage his career. Poor Alec Baldwin. It's so unfair this happened to him...








What a fekkin' narcissist prick. Eff him.

[fitnessislife]

Of course you didn't, Alec. Of course you didn't.

[vitall]

There was no cameras recording on a movie set?

[nkiritsis13]

Damn, first sentient revolvers, then recently self-aware SUVs. 2022 is going to wind up like Maximum Overdrive if we don't do something.


In all seriousness, the latest suit has some pretty damning allegations if proved true:

“There was nothing in the script about the gun being discharged by DEFENDANT BALDWIN or by any other person,” the lawsuit from script supervisor Mamie Mitchell says.

Mitchell’s suit focuses mainly on Baldwin’s actions. It said she was standing next to Hutchins and within 4 feet (1.22 meters) of the actor, and was stunned when he fired the gun inside the tiny church on Bonanza Creek Ranch on Oct. 21.

According to discussions before the scene was filmed, it called for three tight shots of Baldwin: One on his eyes, one on a blood stain on his shoulder, and one on his torso as he pulled the gun from a holster, the suit says.

There was no call for Baldwin to point the gun toward Hutchins and Souza, nor to fire it, the suit says.

And it alleges Baldwin violated protocol by not checking the gun more carefully.

“Mr. Baldwin chose to play Russian roulette when he fired a gun without checking it, and without having the armorer do so in his presence,” Mitchell’s attorney Gloria Allred said at a news conference.

A veteran script supervisor who has worked on nearly 100 productions, Mitchell was on a set for the first time since the pandemic began. She was the first to call 911 after the shooting, the suit says.

There's some real bitter irony that the same type of person who would disavow guns and treat their inanimate state alone as a threat to completely disregard that same mindset to treat any firearm on set without respect.

Although there is most certainly a chain of responsibility when handling a firearm and there were clearly failures along every link leading to it being handed off to Baldwin, he was the ultimate point where any prior failings or not would still always come down to his finger on the trigger.

Another important detail that unfortunately gets muddled by Hollywood's own daft nomenclature is that the live round was in fact
a live round with a bullet, as it left a lead slug in the film director.
