Alec Baldwin Charged (again) with Manslaughter

[MdWIldcat55]

So, Alec Baldwin lied to everyone, including the police? I'm shocked. He was so convincing with that story that the gun just fired itself.

I guess based on his lifetime of behaving like a bully, a child and woman abuser and a jerk, it was a mistake to trust his word. .

New Analysis of ‘Rust’ Gun Finds Alec Baldwin Must Have Pulled Trigger

The actor has repeatedly denied pulling the trigger of a revolver that went off on the film’s set, killing its cinematographer. The gun was not supposed to be loaded with live ammunition.

Now the question becomes, will the manslaughter charge be reinstated?

Alec Baldwin may still face charges in fatal ‘Rust’ shooting after new report alleges he pulled trigger

“Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger ... the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver,” a forensic firearms examiner wrote.

I think a person with an IQ higher than 10 knew he pulled the trigger and that guns don't fire themselves.

I actually do know someone that said "But he SWEARS he didn't do it" like Alec Baldwin is some beacon of integrity

I thought based on his lifetime of behaving like a stable, moral person we could trust him.

He’s not going to prison nerds. God you all are sad. “I hate anyone with differing political views and more money than me!!!” Wahhhhhhhhh

 

[CUJO_1970]

Alec Baldwin pokes fun at Donald Trump on SNL. Of course he's innocent.

Revolvers generally don't. A friend of mine put a hole in his truck when his automatic slid off the seat and hit the floorboard. At least that's the story that he told me.

 

[Nightwish84]

His small part in Glengarry Glen Ross was quite good though.

Color me surprised.

I'm not a member of either of America's political herds and while I'm certainly not as wealthy as Baldwin, I'm sure as hell not poor. And guess what?

Alec Baldwin took Halyna Hutchins from her loved ones through pure neglect by violating the most basic rule of firearms, and I hope he pays for it, same as any other murderer.

He won’t. Sorry.

He possibly won't allow himself to accept that he pulled the trigger. As a military policeman in Turkey, we had M-1 carbines. At the end of a shift, all weapons had to be cleared before turning them in to the armory. An E-5 would supervise to ensure the proper steps were taken. The last step was pulling the trigger while the rifle was in a 55 gallon drum of sand, to show there was no round in the chamber. The guy in front of me in line pulled the trigger. The sound of the shot echoed throughout the room and sand dust filled the air. There was at least a dozen witnesses. The first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't do that." He and the supervisor both got letters of reprimand and lost rank.

Thats like when my niece was little and I caught her pounding play doh into the carpet. I told her to stop and she just kept saying "I'm not doing anything!". I tried to warn her...

Oh, and he did shoot and kill that innocent person and then attempt to blame others for her death. And, that. There is that.

🤦‍♂️

Too bad Hilaria can't be charged for that dreadful fake Spanish accent.

Alec Baldwin didn't shoot?

Andy Beshear doesn't suck?

Andy Beshear definitely sucks?

Al Bundy deals shoes?

I dunno.

That still leaves half the country that believes guns can fire themselves.

 

[WTF Cat]

He's a great actor... but if read enough of his interviews... he's a complete POS.

Oddly enough it's the same half that believes you can "identify" as whatever you want.

 

[812scottj]

Given that the movie is a western, it was most likely a single action revolver. No way it could fire without having hammer cocked and the trigger pulled.

So that is exactly what you did in your post . I just love stupid people like you that aren't afraid to show it in public.

Twice in one night showing us how dumb you are , you are impressive!

From the grave Norm Macdonald could be heard to exclaim, "Alec shoulda called OJ," OR "That's why OJ says you never bring a gun to a knife fight," OR "ALWAYS keep a glove around that's way too small for your hand to drop at the scene.... like OJ."

And "I hate to pay the checks my mouth writes! WAHHHH!!."

Given the latter, he'd have to be the former or he'd never be seen.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

No reasonable person would believe that gun fired itself. Accepting that as a defense was basically their way of letting him out of it. I doubt anything short of massive, prolonged public pressure campaign will reverse the decision and I don't see such a campaign given the individual and their allegiances

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Doesn't seem fair since the gun fired itself -- surely Alec isn't lying about that. But life can be unfair I guess...

Alec Baldwin indicted on involuntary manslaughter charge in 'Rust' shooting

A New Mexico grand jury indicted the actor on Friday after hearing evidence in a closed hearing.

Wonder how many hours of community service and public service announcement spots he'll be sentenced to for taking a life?

You all still care about this?

Can we roll this into the semaglutide thread to reduce the waste of space here?

This isn't the first time a prop gun has killed someone on set. Bruce Lee's son Brandon died from a prop gun malfunction while filming The Crow in the early 90s.

Not gonna lie, i watch that scene from time-to-time. Love it. Once of the best scenes of all-time, IMO.

Define "prop gun".

"Prop gun" sounds like a disabled firearm or a toy of sorts. It was a fully functioning gun that fires the ammo loaded into it when the trigger is pulled, be it live rounds or blanks. Baldwin fired a live round through a gun. Period.

Yeah prop gun was a poor choice of words. It was a real gun that fired blanks.

 

[IdaCat]

Even a blank can be deadly since it ejects a wadding and hot gases. Actor Jon-Erik Hexum in 1984 was goofing around and fired a blank at his head. It fractured his skull and killed him.

You don't point a gun directly at a person like dumbass Baldwin did and fire even a blank round, especially at that range. Just dumb, arrogant ignorance, and there's no defense for that. Of course, Baldwin fired live ammo.

I vaguely remember that story. The Baldwin case is just nuts. Why in the world would live ammo be in there? He may be an actor but he's been in plenty of movies where he used firearms.
