Hollywood actor, producer and political activist Alec Baldwin is a man of notoriously intemperate disposition. Prone to angry outbursts and uncontrollable anger, the unstable Mr. Baldwin is well known for physical and verbal violence against people he dislikes {link} even his own children.
Yesterday the 68-year-old Baldwin shot two people on a film set in New Mexico killing one and seriously injuring another. Mr Baldwin killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. The unstable actor claims he shot them accidentally and has reportedly said he is sorry to the husband of the deceased woman he killed.
Vanity Fair – […] “Details surrounding the shooting, which occurred while a scene was being filmed, are still forthcoming. “Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Bonanza Creek Ranch movie set of the Western Rust, October 21, 2021, when an 911 caller reported a shooting on the set,” investigators confirmed to Vanity Fair Friday. According to Sheriff’s department spokesman Juan R. Rios, “Mr. Baldwin met with investigators and provided a statement and answered their questions. He then left our agency. No charges have been filed and no arrests have been made.” Baldwin’s reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. (read more)
Mr. Baldwin’s wife, Hilairia Baldwin, was recently caught pretending to be life-long Latina in order to enhance her woke credentials amid the far-leftists in their political social circle. She apologized for her lies, manipulation and years of cultural appropriation. Together they have many children and live an affluent lifestyle enabled by a community of supporters who identify with violent sensibilities as an outcome of tribal similarity.
Karma.
Yeah, except for the victims. That is pretty sad. Baldwin though is hideous.
WHY would he point a gun at CREW?
(she did look a somewhat like baldwin’s wife)
And yes, sometimes it is brutal. No matter what one thinks of him, this is a horrid tragedy.
Gateway has an updated story about this where they are now saying he was waving the gun around while he was ranting about Pres Trump.
OMG, waiting for the Lib nutter to start saying the gun was loaded with real bullets by a Trumper!
Saw that speculated about on twitter earlier – MAGA person set him up.
Were they wearing MAGA hats and carrying bleach and a noose? haha
And wearing dark suits in the hot desert heat for 4 hours waiting to spring their plot!
Here’s the tweet I saw –
This is OBSCENE.
And from a foreigner. Note the cute little flags. Puke.
It forgot to specify it’s pronouns.

These TDS people are off their meds.
Baldwin was not expected to pick up yhat weapon and fire it. He was not acting in the movie. No one set him up.
He was in fact acting as well as producing.
These people are absolutely out of their minds!
Actually an FBI “resource” wearing a MAGA hat.
That would be amazing if this happened because he was holding a gun and ranting about President Trump … the obvious problem for the RAT trolls … Baldwin nor any of the Hollywood nutjobs would hire anyone pro-Trump.
It was the Russians or QAnon or maybe the White Supremacists!
Be kind of hard to find a Trumper in that area considering its Hollywierd making a movie and where it is at, Santa Fe is the liberal capital of New Mexico, they will find some liberal judge along with a liberal sheriff there and this will go away I would guess. Note: when was the last time anyone has heard about Zorro Ranch and Epstein. New Mexico is a crooked as a dogs hind leg and will protect their own (liberal scum).
Are you serious? God…
That’s probably the most likely scenario with this guy. But why on God’s earth would you have a gun with live projectiles (not necessarily bullets) on the set at all? This is strange.
The prop master union is going to blame it on “non-union” prop-master/amorer.
Heck, as these libs hate guns so much yet most of their recent output of films in the last 30 years have made it a point to make any violence as graphic as possible to resemble a snuff-film (how many headshots have been displayed on “The Walking Dead” or throat slashings on “Game of Thrones”, for instance?) to the point of overwhelming the typical weak and contrived plots. What about forcing Hollywood to ban all violence in films (aside from historical movies) for the next 25 years to see if our culture becomes less violent amongst the impressionable un-disciplined youth?? I am sure many veterans cannot take their families to movie theatres a lot as the gratuitous violence brings back bad memories. I am sure our grandparents would love to enjoy better made movies too instead of the crap out there.
Don’t get me started on the inane and overwrought and overdone “superhero” films. We have many actual “heroes and heroines” who still walk among us who have great and TRUE stories to tell.
Cannot blame President Trump for this one!!
Johnny Depp got his comeuppance and blacklisting from Hollywood for being another swine!! Ge also isanti Trumper as well alyssawishing physical harm, assassination, to Mr Trump.
Please translate your gibberish…
Oh, I’m sure they will try. They will probably blame him for living rent free in their despicable little minds.
Anti Trumper Alyssa Milano arrested outside w.h. in d.c. protesting joebama this time with left wing nut case radical socialists.
Of course they will blame President Trump—and the rest of us MAGA’s. As we all ‘know’ (/s), people don’t shoot people—guns do. All by themselves.
Alec Baldwin could ‘shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue’ and the liberals would excuse him.
TDS.
I heard the same rumor. I so want to find out if it’s true.
Seriously? It’s too bad people like that are unable to blame themselves for such things. “If Trump wasn’t such a ….he’d have never made me kill someone!”
Yet ANOTHER BS reason to TRY and pin something on Trump.
Who put the live ammo in that gun?
this BS story “it was a prop” I don’t know it was probably his personal gun, and he lied about it being a prop.
Remember when the police in Minnesota accidentally grabbed her gun instead of the taser.
If it’s his personal gun, wouldn’t he need a New Mexico handgun license to have it with him on the set?
Following your logic, if the gun WAS Baldwin’s personal firearm, then it’s highly doubtful he had a permit.
Oops!
maybe, but the law never stopped and idiot from being an idiot…
btw, who is enforcing laws these days….
There is NO PERMIT required to own a handgun !
A permit is usually required to carry a concealed handgun, but that varies by state.
Also, if he is not a resident of New Mexico, he probably would not have a concealed carry permit because many if not most states do not have reciprocity.
It is a shame that so many have no knowledge of firearms and related laws !
This “accident” highlights a total IGNORANCE of firearms handling and safety !!!!!!!!
New Mexico recognizes conceal carry permits from 23 different states through reciprocity agreements.
https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/nm-gun-laws/#recStates
If Alec lives in L.A. then he doesn’t have a conceal carry license, they don’t exist in this county.
They do exist in LA County. They are just exceedingly rare and have been kept that way, no matter what the Sheriff has recently said.
Concealed carry licenses exist EVERYwhere for the well-connected.
NM lib democrats enacted a law that requires a NICS Background check on “all gun transfers”….
Under this law you can’t even hand your gun to another poerson without a background check..
Also is baldwiin a prohibited person?
He has a history of violence…. Does he have any domestic violence charges in his past?
Could Alex now be a felon under the law?
Is BATF on this case yet?
“Is BATF on this case yet?“
They deferred to the FBI.
No one can answer any questions right now or forever more because there is an ongoing and interminable investigation taking place.
The Minneapolis Police story is more about stupidity and minority set asides than gun safety. The taser looks and feels NOTHING like a sidearm. That was sheer incompetence.
This is what I am thinking.
It is highly unlikely that a blank round in a partially disabled ‘prop’ gun would fire a projectile and pass through the first person milling them and into the next person wounding them.
I am speculating that he was playing ‘tough guy’ with his personal weapon and done FK’D up big time.
Hope it was his gun. His supporters would be more upset he owns a gun than they are he killed a woman “by accident”
My thoughts exactly. And why would they need a live ammo round on the set in the first place?
Are there armed security guards roaming around, and one got careless and left his ammo next to the blank rounds? Or left his gun next to the prop gun?
Any competent, professional safety tech would NEVER let live ammo get anywhere near a prop gun—unless under intense, second to second surveillance and scrutiny.
This smells to high heaven-but it’ll get covered up. Baldwin is in the protected class and money will be paid to assuage the grieving.
IMO a prop gun would be a rented item. Regardless, the gun should have been inspected if it were by a compentant person.
I suppose you could run someone over with a prop car and blame gas in the tank too.
This is how Bruce Lee died.
There is NO WAY that present day protocols would allow for live ammo on a movie set!
I believe it was his son Jason Lee
Alec Baldwin?
Wow, that’s certainly a different spin on the story than what the IATSE Local 44 email made us believe (a non union propmaster messing up, somehow….). Interesting.
Non-union. But of course.
who takes a gun from someone (anyone!) and doesn’t check what it’s loaded with?
Stupid Liberals who know NOTHING about guns.
Next they’ll be saying it was a “9mm” even though that wouldn’t have existed in western times.
Who? Narcissistic, megalomaniac actors.
Hopped up on drugs and alcohol. Did they do a tox screen and a breathalyzer?
These actors are known to come on the set drugged up. Especially Baldwin. He’s a psychopath.
Illegal in NM…. All gun transfers require a Background check using NICS….. NM Law

The media is quick to claim this was an accident.
Too bad they aren’t as defensive toward our police.
i’m with the poster who wondered why Alec Baldwin is doing a movie involving him firing a gun in the first place
Look at Liam Neisson. He has made a fortune playing dress up and make believe with guns. Then he lectures We The Deplorables about our constitutional right to protect ourselves. Meanwhile he has armed body guards. If it weren’t for double standards, progressives would have no standards at all.
First, actors can and should point guns at people while they are shooting movies. Actors and stunt men have to depend on the competency of fellow crew members to provide a safe work environment, especially if they are ignorant. Someone speculated that this was a scene of the actor pointing the camera (where the director and photographer stand) for a face-on angle.
Twice? Hmmmm.
Anti-gun actors who have used guns in movies:
https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/8-examples-of-hollywood-anti-gun-hypocrisy/249990
As Ilhan Omar would say, “It’s all about the Benjamins.”
Ignoring personal beliefs for ego and profit.
“The Hunt For Red October”. But I guess that was in a previous life ….
Same life….same desire for fame and fortune above all.
The last movie with him in it that I watched. I have personally boycotted every video production with him in it since he advocated for the lynching of Rep. Henry Hyde for presiding over the Impeachment of WJC.
Because Leftists have no true principles, only positions they use in order to justify being haters. He does it for the money.
This is proof positive that liberalism is a mental illness
And a DEADLY one, at that!
Added to the abundant proof we already have.
Even blanks can injure you, but a report I read said whatever the projectile was passed through the person killed and lodged in the second person. That does not sound like a blank round.
If the firearm (haven’t seen what type) had a real round in it, I am curious to know how a live round got anywhere near a movie set. Everyone knows most actors are idiot morons who don’t know which end of a gun the bullet comes out of, and have to have full-time assistants on set just to remove the toothpicks from their club sandwiches to prevent them eating them and choking to death. So many things had to go wrong for this to happen.
“So many things had to go wrong for this to happen.”
Or it was not a mistake at all. I want top know why Baldwin was allowed to leave… If it was anyone else they would be detained for murder.
Details on the provenance of the firearm seem appropriate.
How about why was he pointing it at them in the first place?
Let’s start there…
Exactly!
It was reported, Baldwin is producer on movie. During shooting scene, “mild-mattered” Baldwin had a disagreement with photo Director (may she RIP) and was just demonstrating his displeasure. The second individual, the Director, was a free-bee extra “cherry on top” opportunity. (not uncommon for Producers and Directors to have disputes). IMO.
They were setting-up the different camera angles and props for shooting the scene. Everyone was talking to one another in the process of the set-up. It is a low budget movie production with few people crew. They have been on location for two-months and everyone became very close. The devastation is unbelievable and Baldwin is totally destroyed.
Baldwin needs humility.
…and?
Satan has a twisted sense of humor.
Guns don’t “just go off”. He had to have had his finger on the trigger. So, why was this idiot waving any gun around with his finger anywhere near the trigger?
And if it was legitimately during filming, they will have the whole incident on film.
Excellent point!
This is another odd thing. A defensive hollow point isn’t designed to pass through. Jacketed ball ammo might, especially if it were +p (more powder= hotter, faster round)
Could have hit the camera, which nowadays are decked-out with all kinds of accessories, and all kinds of metal and glass and hard plastic shrapnel would have been created. Like a grenade.
If it’s reported it was HP, agree with you.
Someone borrowed it from the prop room for weekend fun, and the “armorer” or fill-in armorer failed to check the chamber?
Supposedly he said,..”Who gave me a hot gun?” Wouldn’t your first reaction be.. OMG I hurt someone ? Evil evil man. Orange man bad… blah blah blah.
Me, me, me, me…his first thought.
“Who made me a victim?!” FTFY
Hint: Look in the mirror for the answer.
Ok, that does it, final straw. Time to outlaw Alec Baldwin. Full stop.
Ok, I’ll take one for the team and volunteer for the enforcement squad on his outlaw status.
Great..Baldwin must have found the only Republican in Hollywood.
Read the lead-ins to about a dozen “news” stories on the web about this incident. They use the terms prop gun, prop firearm and prop weapon. In what universe do props kill people. If Mr. Baldwin had skewered a crew member with a “prop sword” and killed them, one would have to have serious thought about whether it was in fact not a prop – but rather a “sword”.
Mr. Baldwin killed a crewmember with a real gun.
Apparently there are different kinds of prop guns. I suppose Baldwin wanted “authenticity,” so they had the most realistic version available?
That’s called a gun.
It’s both a prop and a gun. The two words do not exclude each other.
Precisely, thanks for stripping away the narrative aka spin.
In what universe do props kill people?
When in the hands of idiots. An actor was killed many years ago on set when he held a prop pistal to his temple and pulled the trigger. The blast from the blank going off killed him.
“In what universe do props kill people.”
In this universe.
prŏp
nounAny of the articles other than costumes and scenery used by an actor or performer during a performance on stage or in a film.
IOW, a real gun can be a prop.
Baldwin will soon be crying foul, that HE is the victim. The guy is a nasty, foul mouth sociopath.
Rest in Peace for the woman who was killed. So sorry that her child and husband will now suffer this terrible loss.
Good thing for Baldwin this happened in New Mexico—a reliably Democrat state.
If this had happened in a Res State, he might have some serious legal issues.
Legal experts = his lawyer trying to shape the narrative.
Quelle surprise.
Why would he be pointing a gun at the cinematographer and the director in the first place? So two rounds, at minimum, got fired while pointed at two people not in the scene? Sketchy.
Imagine what this bloviator would be ranting if it happened to, say, a conservative actor?
Baldwin fired one round. It went through her body and lodged in the director who happened to be behind her.
Then it wasn’t a partially disabled ‘prop’ gun firing a ‘blank’ round.
My daughter’s fiancée is one of the movie’s Producers and was at the scene. He is devastated because after two-months of location they had all become very close. They had all just finished lunch together and were setting up the scene for the next filming.
Obviously an investigation is in progress and we should know what happened as a result. I will get my daughters fiancée’s take on it when he recovers from his present devastating grief and shock.
Interesting – first hand knowledge! Hope I can find you next post on this..
Well if he wants to continue to work in Hollywood his take will be the one they want him to have.
You keep saying on this thread that he’s devastated. SO WHAT. His feelings aren’t the point. An innocent person is dead, due to Baldwin’s NEGLIGENCE. Every single time you touch a gun–no matter what anyone else tells you about it being unloaded or they already checked it or it’s not functional or whatever–YOU HAVE A DUTY to check it yourself before you point, before you put your finger on trigger. Because whatever you point at can end up dead. Firearms 101.
A real gun can be a prop.
Prop is just a general word referring to all real or phoney objects used in a scene.
And the director is in serious condition. No word on his wounds yet.
Pretty easy to figure out a possible scenario if you just stop and think.
Could’ve been a POV camera angle where the actor shoots at the camera (where the director and cinematographer would be positioned) so the audience experiences what the targeted person sees/feels.
He’s told to shoot right into the lens. He does. But he’s not a trained marksman and the (unexpected) projectile hits the camera operator, passes through her and/or hits the camera sending metal shrapnel flying.
Two birds, one stone.
Wrong place at the right time.
Here’s the thing about your hypothesis. Camera have zoom lenses. POV shots with the actors firing a gun are offset. If this happened while filming, which all indications and word from the scene says it wasn’t, he would have been to far away for the projectile to pass through one person and in to another. It’s more likely, and as being reported, that he was not in scene and, instead, on an angry tirade with a gun in his hand. Whatever the actual story, he would have had to been close to the people he shot. Under 10 feet. More likely 5 or 6.
Point of View shots are not offset. They are from the point of view of the actor…hence the name. We have no idea what the “blocking” was for that scene unless you know someone on that production who has said where the actors were standing and where the cameras were placed.
For all we know (which is nothing) he could have been 100 feet away or 1 foot away.
Maybe this director/cinematographer wanted the character to point the gun right into the lens. Maybe it was a wide angle lens or a macro close-up lens used for extremely close shots (fixed focal length or a zoom lens. I think you meant a telephoto lens. Zoom just means it can change focal length or power as opposed to a lens that is only ONE focal length. There are zoom wide angles and zoom telephotos). Doesn’t matter really. Think of Quentin Tarrintino type of framing. Actor points gun RIGHT INTO THE LENS like he’s pointing it at the other actor’s eye or forehead. In such a case the gun would have been INCHES from the camera and the director and camera operator (presumably the cinematographer). I’m not defending Baldwin at all. Hope he is severely punished. But I can’t stand it when the Left goes nuts about how something went down (like a Police shooting) when NO ONE really has all the facts. We need to be better than the Left and use common sense and logic. He may have been on a rant and was high on coke. But there may also be a very good reason why the gun was pointed in the direction it was and why it was so close as to be able to kill and maim others.
This was a violent protest and Hollywood Insurrection. The FIB will be on site shortly.
?
I suspect we will find that the truth is somewhere in the middle of all this speculation.
Alec Baldwin was the producer ( I say was, because chances are the movie is now cancelled. The lawsuits will bury it.)
and the people he shot were the cinematographer and director. Given his temperament, it would not surprise me that we soon hear there was an argument involved in this.
What is really ticking me off is his claiming he was never handed a “hot gun” in all his years of acting.
Whether it has blanks or bullets, it’s hot, to use his term.
He’s familiar with the term “hot gun,” which tells you something.
He was calling it a hot gun because it sat out on a table and got hot from the New Mexico sun. He probably picked it up and squealed ‘hot gun, hot gun!” and pulled the trigger while flailing around.
Clearly, Mr Baldwin and the crew did not understand gun safety basics:
That is nice but not possible for movie sets.
Of course it is
That is exactly how they are handled on sets, with protocols for double checking everything.
Special handling rules are strictly adhered to, so something like this should have never happened.
Whoops – wrong paste, but something was obviously up, as people had walked off the set earlier in the day.
Meant to post this –
This ‘story’ sounds like a set up to blame one of the workers who walked off the set hours before this incident.
Who doesn’t know to never aim a firearm at a person unless you intend to use it? Baldwin’s not stupid. He purposely aimed it at those people, and fired. Blanks or not, that alone screams intent to harm.
Not so much of an issue on the set if the #1 rule is followed religiously: EVERYONE who ever touches a gun checks to see if it’s loaded before ANYTHING happens–including checking the chamber, and if on a set or practicing with blanks-snap caps-dry fire, then also including what’s in every magazine, every time. Even if that’s 3, 4, 5 people in a row, standing next to each other. You have a DUTY to check it yourself every . single . time .
I’m thinking we need some legislation here.
Mandatory firearms safety classes for all actors and actresses before they’re allowed to come anywhere near a “prop gun”. Furthermore they must take a recurring course every time they are cast for a movie involving firearms. And they have to have a permit to handle firearms, and they must pass a full background check in order to get it.
It’s the least they can do.
Yes! Firearms 101.
And, just to add, for those learning…
5.Always check the gun yourself, regardless of what someone else says about it being unloaded or unoperable.
6.I always feel like we should add “and what’s to the left and right” to the “what’s behind it” because someone can come running in from the side, etc.
Was Michael Byrd working security on that movie set?
Watch for the MSM articles that are sympathetic to Baldwin, with no attention on the victim.
I think I read somewhere that protocol on A set is to have the actor NEVER point the gun at anyone ever…ever…ever
As a long time gun guy, a couple of things jump out at me. First, blanks look nothing like live rounds. Second, what the hell is he doing pointing the gun — with blanks or not– at producers, etc AND PULLING THE TRIGGER??????!!!!!! First rule of gun safety: even with an unloaded and checked weapon- NEVER POINT THE MUZZLE AT ANYONE. Nothing about this creep surprises me.
First, he’s an idiot. Second, he is the producer so he is the boss and no one would dare challenge him. Idiot in charge. What could possibly go wrong?
So mamy questions> Was the “film” rolling when this happened? If yes then why was the gun pointed at the cinematographer and not another actor in the scene? If the film wasn’t “rolling” why was he pointing the gun at the cinematographer and pulling the trigger?
He probably had his finger on the trigger from the moment he picked up the gun. He’s been so anti-gun his whole life he probably has never had any safety courses. But even if that’s true, only an imbecile keeps their finger on a trigger.
And yet. Finger on the trigger is the natural position. So that’s exactly why training and practice is so important.
Pretty easy to figure out a possible scenario if you just stop and think.
Could’ve been a POV camera angle where the actor shoots at the camera (where the director and cinematographer would be positioned) so the audience experiences what the targeted person sees/feels.
He’s told to shoot right into the lens. He does. But he’s not a trained marksman and the (unexpected) projectile hits the camera operator, passes through her and/or hits the camera sending metal shrapnel flying.
Two birds, one stone.
Wrong place at the right time.
thank you , yours is the most thoughtful comment I have read today.
Hate Alec Baldwin and his , but politics but do not wish this kind of pain on anybody.
correction,
Hate Alec Baldwin and his politics,but do not wish this kind of pain on anybody.
Agree. I’m not trying to excuse Baldwin. It’s tragic and a husband and child have lost a loved one. I’m fine if this is the event that removes Baldwin from public life forever. But we need to operate on logic and not EMOTION like the Left automatically does all the time.
His pain isn’t the point. An innocent person is dead, and it’s the pain of her children, husband, family, and friends that matter, not his feelings. He was negligent.
Excellent comment. I was going to post the same.
While it is not unusual to have a POV shot directed at the camera, that does not explain how a live round likely was overlooked.
I’ve been on a set or two. I can see how it could happen, especially if the normal crew had been dismissed and replaced by locals as is being suggested now. If someone with no or little experience then tried to stage this scene ANYTHING could have gone wrong and apparently did.
This is the second time I read this explanation here. Is there a coordination of assets among journalists on this point?
Actors can point guns at people during movie shoots. To say anything else is silly. Someone else here already mentioned it might have been a take of the shooter from the front and, therefore, the gun would be pointed at the camera, director and cinematographer whom stand next to the camera.
Yes. I have little use for Alec Baldwin, but you are correct about the pointing.
It still does not excuse the lack of safety.
Pointing the gun at your friends is cringe worthy and dangerous.
I hope they drug tested him and the evidence goes to a grand jury..
Interesting, and if true it would further support the opinion of many that the POS a. baldwin is a scumbag’s scumbag.
C’mon Man! He was trying to get into character. You all know how these things work.
My sincere regrets and prayers for the people and families who apparently have to work with this man. There should be a law against people like him.
At least his first wife, the pretty blond, got out while the gettin’ was good.
Love the title of the post. This is how to beat Commies using their tactics against them.
Guns don’t kill people. Morons kill people, even ones using blanks.
Sometimes morons kill themselves with blanks.

Next up headline: “FBI Arrests Prop Master on Baldwin Movie Set”
In today’s world Trump might need to shoot in self defense on 5th avenue..
The vacuous stupidity of a Hollywood actor knows no bounds. There is not a creature more arrogantly puerile than Alec Baldwin. GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED. Guns do not do stupid things, people do
So TWO people were shot? Unless they were both hit by the SAME round (possible), this makes NO sense. There could have been a mix-up on whether the weapon was loaded and with what type of round (it has happened before, but certainly, in an accidental discharge, you would not fire a second time. Perhaps he needs to get a refund from those court-ordered Anger Management classes.
Fans of ‘heartbroken’ Alec Baldwin ask how he’ll live with tragedy: ‘It was an accident!’

Wow, just wow, karma’s a bitch. So many hypocrisies with this man. He’s anti gun yet he has no problem using one for his job. The spin on this will step to new lows. After the tragic Brandon Lee movie set gun accident (he fatally shot himself with a blank on set) there’s no way Baldwin can claim he didn’t know a blank could kill. His only hope is to blame it on someone else, but again, actors are trained to treat every gun as having real bullets, he should never have pointed it in anyone’s direction. Maybe he shoulda joined the NRA & learned some gun safety.
Sadly someone lost their life because a moron didn’t follow basic gun safety!
How many of us were taught as CHILDREN not to point a gun, even a toy gun, at another human. And to only point our guns at something we intended to shoot AND kill.
I think that perhaps this live load was intended for another target. They need to trace that weapon back to everyone who handled it, and determine 1) did they have a beef with anyone on the set who would be in the next scene 2) are they a psychopath that just wanted to kill someone. From what I’ve seen from afar it seems most of Hollywood falls into the psychopath category.
“someone lost HER life…”
wasn’t ‘international pronoun day’ over yesterday?
Thank you for being constructive.
you’re welcome.
The commies want to destroy the structure of language, along with its fundamental culture, to produce a normlessness
This will be another reason for gun control from the left…prop gun or not.
Karma’s a bitch Alec…but I do think you had a genius role in Glen Gary Glen Ross…guess if you receive steak knives…it sounds pretty good right now…
great script.
Hollywood violence and racism has gone too far. Watch though as the two tier justice system reveals itself and as his woke Hollywood friends circle the wagons
I’m just posting this. I haven’t checked anything.
It’s likely going to be disappeared.
If it reproduces in body counts it’s something to consider in the ongoing genocide.
You might want to post this somewhere else.
Good info, wrong topic.
In a strange sense, these stories are connected. The Perversion of the Left destroying society and innocent lives.
Protests and riots to commence in 3…2…
“What? … Oh.”
Never mind. There won’t be any this time.
CLM
cinematographer’s lives matter
Actors like most liberals lack common sense. If there is going to be any kind of gun ban it should be a ban on using guns on tv ? and movies. This stupid jerk violated the most basic fundamentals of handling a weapon. Always clear the weapon, never point a weapon at anyone, always assume the weapon is loaded. This murderer should be in jail. Instead they will blame the janitor.
Alec Baldwin was a producer. Looking a little more temper-related.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/alec-baldwin-rust-camera-crew-193409810.html
“Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of “Rust” with a prop gun, a half-dozen camera crew workers walked off the set to protest working conditions.
The camera operators and their assistants were frustrated by the conditions surrounding the low-budget film, including complaints of long hours and pay, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment.
The camera crew showed up for work as expected at 6:30 a.m. Thursday and began gathering up their gear and personal belongings to leave, one knowledgeable crew member told the Los Angeles Times.
Labor trouble had been brewing for days on the dusty set at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.
Shooting began on Oct. 6 and members of the production said they had been promised the production would pay for their hotel rooms in Santa Fe.
But after filming began, the crews were told they instead would be required to make the 50-mile drive from Albuquerque each day, rather than stay overnight in nearby Santa Fe.
The cinematographer who was accidentally killed, Halyna Hutchins, had been advocating for safer conditions for her team, said one crew member who was on the set.”
“As the camera crew — members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees — spent about an hour assembling their gear at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, several nonunion crew members showed up to replace them, the knowledgeable person said.
A member of the producer staff then ordered the union members to leave the set. She said if they didn’t leave, the producers would call security to remove them.
“Corners were being cut — and they brought in nonunion people so they could continue shooting,” the knowledgeable person said.
There were two misfires on the prop gun on Saturday and one the previous week, the person said, adding “there was a serious lack of safety meetings on this set.”
A representative for the production company did not immediately comment.
“The entire cast and crew has been absolutely devastated by today’s tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Halyna’s family and loved ones,” the spokesperson for Rust Movie Productions said in a statement Thursday.
The shooting occurred about six hours after the union camera crew left.”
So Baldwin the producer was doing this on the cheap.
Cuts corner on salaries, benefits and safety, and is too stingy to replace a prop gun that has already misfired three times.
And most likely furious about the mutiny.
It’s starting to look like there’s a lot more to this.
This sounds like the UNION getting back at scalpers.
“ Shooting began on Oct. 6…”
It took him a long time to hit his target. ?
Sounds like commie tactic. treated everyone like shits..
I hope this means we have seen the last of Baldwin’s buffoonery.
2021 has taught me no chance
For awhile anyway.
She was behind the camera, and they were setting up a shot so the moviegoers would have the “experience” of looking into the barrel of the gun, as john explains above.
OK, I can understand accidentally shooting one person… but not two.
Bullet went through the poor woman and into the man behind her.
Just put the FBI in charge and everything will disappear.
They’ll stop by after the school board meeting.
FBI: Fumbling, Bumbling and Incompetent.
21st Century Keystone Kops.
For those that don’t know about “blanks” they have a plastic or paper wad that holds the powder in place . When discharged the wad can be deadly at close range . . .
Yeah, but I’m trying to imagine anyone with the slightest training, putting in so much powder that the wad injures bad enough to kill someone, exits, and lodges in another person. That’s pretty powerful.
Magnum Force!!
Except that this was a live round that somehow was in the gun.
I saw a TV show that briefly covered proper prop gun precautions, one of which is to make it dimensionally impossible to load a live round.
You are exactly right.
Deadly enough to pass through one human body killing them and into a second human body and causing serious injury?
This so-called wad would also have to have penetrated at least three layers of clothing to do what it did (assuming that the projectile wasn’t a neck shot, etc.).
I am speculating that the gun was someone’s personal weapon which was loaded with live ammunition.
One of his snide tweets referring to a cop shooting… So now he can answer his own question!

@AlecBaldwln____
I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone…
Now he knows.
Lets see if this is a life sobering and changing moment for the better for Baldwin.
If he ever acts again, he should vow to reject roles involving guns and violence.
not if they use FBI coverup techniques.
