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.

He did five years of playing Trump on SNL, so it must have rubbed off on him.

The sad thing is liberals, like the ped0 above me, will think he's not just acting here and that guns just go off on their own

**jason_bh** · 12-02-2021, 05:42 AM

Lock him up.

Has anyone confirmed how this all went down? Seems like everything said so far has been rumor. Including that they were playing quick-draw with each other and Alec, uh, won.

**kcadrenalin** · 12-02-2021, 06:21 AM

Hopefully the gun goes to prison for a very long time.

Still just speculation and statements from opposing interests. The sheriff is still investigating.

i'm willing to bet that whatever happened was because of people screwing around and doing chit they know they shouldn't have been doing on a movie set that is going to get a lot of people in trouble and they are just trying to cover their asses and get their stories straight now.

i imagine whatever stupidity was happening on that set is the equivalent of that scene in Zoolander where the male models were playing with gas station pumps and spraying gas all over each other .

there is a long list of mishandling / ineptness that lead up to it
there are more than one person at fault... but Baldwin was EP of the entire film / set and the one who had the gun in hand when a person was killed

Primarily, yes. If there were expectations that other people would be checking the gun then responsibility would be shared.

Dummy rounds are apparently supposed to have a hole in the side? Such an obvious thing to miss if correct.

Only zoyboy would make this about Trump lol.

**crupiea** · 12-02-2021, 09:51 AM

Imagine someone handed you a pistol. They swear its not loaded.

They told you to aim it at another person and pull the trigger.

Not a single person in their right mind, not even a child, would do that without checking it for themselves first.

I cant imagine living in a world where you would. Thats whats wrong with these people, that blind idiotic trust for no reason.

Look how they trust politicians and the media. same idiotic level of blind trust.

On a film set there is basically an order responsibility for handling a firearm, from actually attaining it from wherever it is being stored, to checking whether it is loaded with dummy rounds or blanks, all the way until it eventually reaches the actor, who should also check the weapon themselves.

At some point, someone loaded an actual live round in normal-people-terms, not film terms, which to them can just mean blanks that only contain gunpowder but no actual bullet in the casing.

The first problem is that there is no reason whatsoever for live rounds, i.e. with bullets, to be on a film set like this, so someone had to bring them.

The second is how not only did nobody who first attained the gun from where it should have been stored safely without such tampering did not check the gun for being loaded or what it was loaded with.

That continued along every step until it reached Baldwin, who also did not check the gun before firing.

Although there is a wealth of blame all along each step of the way to the actor, it should be abundantly obvious that simply because somebody tells a personthat an otherwise fully functional firearm* that they should never point it at anyone without checking the weapon themselves.

*Or any type of gun/mockup/ect., but point being that they knew that these guns were capable of firing blanks, and therefore real live rounds. Blanks might lack a bullet, but they can still kill a person from the force alone.

Who is buying his story?

Probably everybody that has never handled a gun, and nobody that has.

**aci150** · 12-02-2021, 11:41 AM

In the mind of a leftist, an SUV drove through a crowd at a Christmas parade. Not a black man.

So yea, wouldn't put it past them to say a gun fired itself.

AFAIK there was 1 shot, that passed through the guy's shoulder, then killed the woman.

**rocketfish** · 12-02-2021, 12:36 PM

bam he shot, in a playful manner thinking the gun is empty like it should have been, its an accidental shot, right?

now apparently hes going to go on this interview claiming he never pulled the trigger, so he pointed the gun and it shot all on its own? wtf..

**BFast55** · 12-02-2021, 12:43 PM

I don't throw this term around often, but Alec Baldwin is a retard of the highest order.

**Cleveland33** · 12-02-2021, 12:52 PM

it's amazing that these accidents where guns just "go off" only happen when someone is holding them.

Never happens to a gun not being held

**the700level** · 12-02-2021, 02:39 PM

Why isn’t he charged with murder yet?

Or manslaughter at the minimum?

**TonyTriangles** · 12-02-2021, 02:51 PM

i guess that kid that shot up his school didnt pull the trigger either

**the700level** · 12-02-2021, 05:16 PM

This guy is a ****ing joke

Is anybody watching this

**Mountaineer92** · 12-02-2021, 05:25 PM

too bad it wasnt alec that died instead

**A-GAME** · 12-02-2021, 06:48 PM

Insufferable.

**gwg77** · 12-02-2021, 08:51 PM

Damn, dude has no shame. Feels no guilt.

Alec Baldwin has said he does not feel guilty about his accidental on-set shooting of camerawoman Halyna Hutchins, because someone else was responsible for bringing the live ammunition onto set.

Asked if he felt by guilty by ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos, Baldwin replied: 'No. No. I feel that someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but I know it's not me.'

He added: 'I mean, honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself if I thought I was responsible. And I don't say that lightly.'

And it took him 45min to an hour to realize she was hit with a live round that he fired. Really? Is this guy braindead? This guy really is doing himself no favors running his mouth on TV like this.

Baldwin, 63, also revealed it 45 minutes after the shooting for it to even occur to him that live ammunition might have been used.

He said that, when she fell to the ground, he thought she might have fainted.

'She goes down. I thought to myself, 'Did she faint?'' Baldwin said.

'The notion that there was a live round in that gun did not dawn on me till probably 45 minutes to an hour later.'
