Again tho if he wasnt a celeb he wouldnt get the benefit of the doubt or all this leeway and outpouring of sympathy to him.

He’s getting the benefit of the doubt because they were making a movie with guns, he didn’t just whip it out and blow someone away because he felt like it or was pissed someone took his parking space.

 

[Gee Wally]

pretty sure angrymilkcrates post was about giving Baldwin the benefit of the doubt. I responded to it asking why because hes a celeb when if he was just some dude we wouldnt be doing it.

fact remains hes at fault.

fact is nobody right now knows what happened. We will as soon as investigation is complete.
Until then opinion doesnt equal fact.

Someone who doesnt know how to handle a gun shouldnt point it and shoot it at someone. Even if blanks or if they think its unloaded.

This x 1,000,000.

The fact is, nobody has determined that. They have prop people who handle the props, did he get handed a gun with a real bullet? Was the gun faulty?

It’s a movie set, not Chicago.

I am no movie expert but I see plenty of guns being shot in movies and unless those are GCI guns, I always assumed they were some sort of gun with a blank inside. So when one is shooting while being filmed, who the F know where the bullet would have gone because everyone thought it was a blank.

You go girl!

Good news, virtual cookies are just fine for heart health.

Excited that the 5-11 vaccine will be available soon. I have come to the realization we will all get it at some point, I just want my kids to have a baseline of protection. Also excited for the combo Moderna/flu shot when it comes out eventually.

Man idc were he was. How hard is it to follow? There are rules when handling a firearm no matter were u are. Geebuzs. Blanks can also do damage.

Apparently I now have neighbors who feel it is their duty to blast their stereo bass at maximum levels so the entire building can feel it.

I truly don't believe he shot them on purpose. I hate guns

Welcome to my world. Had to actually tell one of them to turn it down a few weeks ago after I missed 10 minutes of a training because I couldn't hear it.

Instead of his apartment he likes to park across 2 spots and blast his music while smoking a joint.

He still smokes but he hasn't blasted his music since then.

He was told it was a cold gun by the assistant producer.

This was a terrible accident. Alec Baldwin most certainly didn't mean to kill her and injure the director.

In MY opinion, I think someone on the crew held a grudge against her as she was apparently vocal about using union workers and expressed concerns about some conditions on set.

Let the facts come out before convicting the guy and stop thinking you know what happened because you "know how to use a gun"

 

[chizzler]

I doubt Baldwin had anything to do with it! Who ever setup the gun for him is in trouble though.

Warrant: Baldwin didn’t know weapon contained live round - The Boston Globe

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Alec Baldwin was handed a loaded weapon by an assistant director who indicated it was safe to use in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer, court records released Friday show.
The assistant director did not know the prop gun was loaded with live rounds, according to a search warrant filed in a Santa Fe court.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot in the chest on the set of a Western starring Baldwin. Director Joel Souza was wounded. The records said he was standing behind her.
The warrant was obtained Friday so that investigators could document the scene at the ranch where the shooting took place. It notes that Baldwin’s blood-stained costume for the film “Rust” was taken as evidence, as was the weapon that was fired.

Investigators also seized other prop guns and ammunition that were being for the film starring Baldwin.


Guns used in making movies are sometimes real weapons that can fire either bullets or blanks, which are gunpowder charges that produce a flash and a bang but no deadly projectile. However, even blanks can eject hot gases and paper or plastic wadding from the barrel that can be lethal at close range. That proved to be the case in the death of an actor in 1984.
In another on-set accident in 1993, the actor Brandon Lee was killed after a bullet was left in a prop gun, and similar shootings have occurred involving stage weapons that were loaded with live rounds.
Gun-safety protocol on sets in the United States has improved since then, said Steven Hall, a veteran director of photography in Britain. But he said one of the riskiest positions to be in is behind the camera because that person is in the line of fire in scenes where an actor appears to point a gun at the audience.

Booked my Moderna booster for the 29th.

I still apparently need to get the pneumonia vax so I need to ask about how long I need to wait between the 2.
