His big mouth and big ego finally caught up to him.
My question is how and who put live ammunition in that gun .
Doesn't matter. The first rule they teach you in the mandated screen actors guild firearms training that's required of all actors handling firearms is never to point a gun at anyone. You're supposed to point them just to the side. So he actively ignored rules he already knew.
@@flakesinyershoe8137 not excusing him but seems my question needs answered.
If uts been answered I haven’t heard it .
That's the only question, in my opinion!!!
@@jerrypeal653 he was aware of the fact that people on the set had been running live ammo as well. Combine that with the fact that his certification and training required him to never point a firearm at any living person and he's even more guilty.
@@nicoleawkwardone not really considering the victim had dirt on the Clintons , what’s the real story here ?
If he was an ordinary citizen, he’d already be in prison
wrong

@drzaius1121 if u were on a movie set Lol are u dumb?
@@kardz1848 you're the one that's wrong.
@drzaius1121 still in prison??? Baldwin never did
Say it with me, "Nobody is above the law. " ..
Nobody including Turnip is above the law.
LOL!! Savage, Bro.
@@phyzzx Trump has never been convicted of anything
Except our former President. Just ask him 😊
@@tommcfadden5232 he was never convicted of anything
The story fails to mention the mixing of live ammunition with blanks in set and the firing of live ammunition for recreational purposes. All of it should be negligence. Baldwin was the producer and this ultimately in charge of safety and should have known and been aware of the behavior.
ANYONE who wants to hold a firearm should know and practice basic gun safety. ANYONE.
irrelevant to the situation
@@kardz1848 I would agree with you, except a lady was shot and killed as the result of a negligent discharge from a perceived unloaded, real, functioning gun on a set where live ammo should have never even been. Mistake after mistake after mistake.
@@jocopowell exactly. That falls entirely on the prop department who was responsible for the gun and the ammunition. Not the dumb hollywood actor who was just doing his job.
@@kardz1848nope, it the fault of the person pointing and shooting the gun. Alec took a life, negligent homicide at the very least.
But, but, it wasn't really real....
He was the producer. He is responsible for the safety. But what's sad us he hasn't even shown remorse for what he did. The gun was tested and there was no way it would fire without pulling the trigger. So he is lying. Take responsibility..🤔
So you’ve been around Alec Baldwin all the time, enough to swear that he’s never shown remorse??? My God, how nice is it to lie YOUR ass off and expect that your word is golden? You should never serve on a jury.
according to your logic then ALL producers should have been convicted. Which didnt happened.
One of what? 7 people with producer credits? The victim's husband also now has producer credits.
@@michaelthomas9991remorse is not in this piece of shits makeup.. and before you pull the have you been around him bullshit Massapequa long Island has had to deal with this arrogant oozing boil for decades and his brother's are no better.. the word stain comes to mind
@@michaelthomas9991 We have him on video MULTIPLE TIMES on this topic showing no remorse. Look, we know the Democrat party blows Baldwin, but do you have to make your lawlessness and sexual fetish for that so God damn obvious?
I stand behind Baldwin because I'm dam sure not gonna stand in front of him
way to be original
😂😂🤘🏼
Wow
😂
Come on, don't copy and paste comments you found elsewhere, be original.
He failed to verify the revolver was empty, or check with someone educated enough to verify that. He also pointed a firearm at an individual. Those are two basic firearm safety rules broken.
That all falls down on the instructor not him Lol are u retarded? Hes an actor not an arms expert the expert was young and inexperienced
Baldwin is an actor. It's not his job to check if a stage gun he's given is loaded with actual live rounds or not. Many actors have never even held a gun in their life. How would they know a live round from a blank? How preposterous would it be to then rely on that same said actor to be responsible for checking for something he's not even aware of.
the prop department getting away with criminal negligence because of smart people like yourself while an innocent man, no matter how unlikeable, gets dragged through the mud.
Yes but those are safety rules for a firearm not safety rules for a prop. The safety rules for a prop are to hire a prop department.
@@enzoinfinity1yet he broke the chain of custody rules that his own prop department had 🤡
No matter how you look at it, he murdered someone.
That is the most redicolous thing I have ever heard. You Americans always want to place blame. Is it not possible that this is just a tragic accident and no one should be convicted? That is probably how this would have turned in Europe. The only question that should be asked is who put a live bullet in that gun. Nothing else really matters here.
He killed someone. Murdered implies that he was premeditation to his actions, which isn't present in all possibilities.
Each person to handle a firearm is responsible to check to see if it is loaded. Never rely on the word that it is not loaded with live rounds.
Not in Hollywood Lol dumb ass
Exactly!!!
It's every one's job that picks up a gun to make sure it's not real before you actually work the action while aiming at a person! Is he a child??? No any sane person would never point a gun loaded or not real or nat at a person
@@Ellie5621 Firearm safety rules:
1. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
2. Always keep the muzzle of the firearm pointed in a safe direction.
3. Always keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard unless you intend to fire the weapon.
@@Ellie5621 Yes, and that's why this woman was shot. Guns are not toys, even if you are rich and famous like Alec Baldwin. Why not use pretend guns or CGI?
It was an unintentional murder due to negligence on multiple peoples' parts, including his. That's why we have manslaughter charges
Murder and manslaughter are two different things (legally). Don't conflate the two.
They are gonna let the person who put live ammo inside the gun walk free, same person who has been hired and PAID to make sure this doesnt happen? What a crazy world.
It's Alec wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't set up. He's not the safety guy is he who loafs it who put it in his hand with real bullets Trump hates you Alec. Look into it
Oh please Alec Baldwin's crazy. Hollywood always needs a sacrifice and Alec knows this very well. He just thought this was going to be a piece of cake piece of pie like it's been in the past. Well it's a new day. God will deal with all these heathens.
Who gave him a real gun to use during rehearsal? Does that make any sense?
The fact that he lied about pulling the trigger is damning. The gun was shown to be fully functional so he HAD to pull the trigger.
And we have him on video at the start of this admitting he pulled the trigger.
@@superoldgamesaturday3277 he screwed up giving that interview.
@@malcolmr3 Baldwin also screwed up when he killed Halyna.
@@superoldgamesaturday3277 Where did he admit to pulling the trigger?
@mike-te7qd His first interview about it after she died. Baldwin openly admitted he shot her and said he was horrified about doing it. Can't wait for that to come up in his trial and for him to go to jail like another hero of the left that your kind deny did anything wrong; Jonathan Majors.
Why was a live round even on the set. Let alone in the gun?
Exactly. It was literally rehearsal and not even during filming. People shouldn't give actors real guns to play around with, someone could get shot.
He knew that gun was loaded. He didn’t even flinch when he shot that lady.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving hypocrite. Baldwin gets a ridiculous amount of money playing characters who use guns on a regular basis while HE thinks "ordinary" people shouldn't have guns. There are so many holes in Baldwin's explanation of what happened. Why was there even one live round on the set? Why didn't he check the gun HIMSELF to see if it was loaded? The victim wasn't even an actor in the movie, so why was he pointing the gun at her? Doesn't Baldwin know how a revolver works? Here's an idea for Mr. Baldwin: Play like you're a REAL man who takes responsibility for his own actions. In Baldwin's case, that would demand an award winning performance.
you dont know what youre talking about
He has no responsibility as an actor to check for live rounds vs. blanks. His role choice has no bearing on anything. That is just you projecting. As a producer, if he had negligence in how safety was conducted, then he is criminally liable. That is the law. The rest is just your warped opinion.
Obviously you are not up to date on this -
Do a bit of research before going off half-cocked.
What do you guys expect from somebody with a Ukraine flag profile picture lmao
Leave alec alone.....you don't know him.....
I’m glad this wasn’t swept under the rug like Alec clearly thought. He was so cocky & kept doing interviews which will eventually be used against him. Everyone knows to remain silent & lawyer up. Clearly not cocky Hollywood.
One, Baldwin refused to go to the gun safety meetings because he already knew all about firearms. Two, he said he pulled the hammer part of the way back and let it fall, thats something anyone familiar with firearms know you never do to a revolver, especially older ones. So yes, he should be charged with this, and he is guilty of this. Next time follow the rules and attend the firearm safety class. Whether you are handed a loaded weapon with blanks, or an empty weapon, you always check it to make sure that its either empty or actually loaded with blanks. Very easy to do, if it has a bullet on the end of the casing, its a real round, more than likely. But always treat a firearm as loaded until you are 100% sure its not. Never take someone elses word.
wrong. He has no responsibility in the shooting. He pulled the trigger, it was supposed to be a blank. the blame falls entirely on the prop department. Anyone with common sense who is intellectually honest should know that.
@@kardz1848 wrong. The screen actors guild firearms safety program has rules for safe firearm handling and the number one rule is to never point them at people. He passed the test so he knew better and did it anyway. If we can't hold people who are certified in something accountable when they ignore the training, why have the training?
@@flakesinyershoe8137 never point it at people... like how youre supposed to do in a movie... keep thinking maybe youll get how responsibility works.
@@kardz1848 but you're not supposed to point them at people while making a movie. It's literally in the rule book. So you're just lying at this point.
@@kardz1848 Next time get some knowledge first and then form opinions.
Criminal law couldn't care less who handed him the loaded pistol. The person handling the gun at the time of the shooting has legal responsibility to be aware if it is loaded and to handle it responsibly. It makes no difference how many people might have told him otherwise, it was his clear responsibility to check and handle the weapon accordingly. There might be other criminal responsibilities if others lied about the weapon's condition but that would be an entirely separate crime. There also might be other criminal or civil liabilities for participants who failed in their responsibilities, such as the armorer, who also should have checked the weapon but they would have no impact on the responsibility of the person handing the gun at the time of its discharge.
I have taken many firearm safety classes and two classes on firearms law. If anyone, a superior, a law enforcement officer or anyone else hands me a weapon, I become the responsible for the safe handling of the weapon and I am the one responsible for any bullets discharged from that weapon while it is in my possession.
I get it, one can conclude he pulled the trigger resulting in accidental death, what about the weapon specialist/ prop master who handed him the gun with live rounds?
They have not been charged. There's little to this investigation and people seem to be content with just going after the person holding the gun.
If I watch twenty people in a row check a firearm as safe, I'm still checking it myself if it's handed to me. Once you take possession of a firearm, EVERYTHING is on you!
what is a "safe" firearm?
@@joelwillis2043 confirmed unloaded with the safety on
50 people or even 10k can check. I check and then just assume its loaded.
@@Jortdf534 The gun was supposed to be loaded. That was the point, it was supposed to fire, its a prop gun. Have you never fired a simunition round? Have you never been trained in combat? You are claiming the problem was it wasn't check to be unloaded. The actual problem, if you took 5 minutes to educate yourself instead of trying to attack a "woke" actor is this, instead of modified ammunition be loaded, real ammo was loaded into the gun.
@@joelwillis2043 "B-camera operator Reid Russell was situated on a camera dolly, looking at a monitor with Hutchins and Souza both nearby. The scene involved Baldwin's character removing a gun from its holster and pointing it toward the camera.[12][10] The trio behind the monitor were two feet (0.6 m) from the muzzle of the firearm and none of them were wearing protective gear such as noise-canceling headphones or safety goggles.[12]" - (From Wiki page on the shooting.) The scene did NOT call for firing of the gun. Baldwin was just supposed to practice drawing from his holster. Nobody working on the set was anticipating a blank to be fired by Baldwin. This was not a "prop gun", it was a real gun used as a prop. There was an all-plastic prop gun, and a prop gun that could not fire any ammunition at all, but they decided to use a real gun that could obviously fire real ammunition and were careless with it.
What would be the legal ramifications if we say those who handle guns are not responsible for gun handling?
Chain of custody of the weapon. Whose finger was in the trigger well? Alec Baldwin? Who went into damage control mode after some minimal pathos? Alec Baldwin. Live ammo on the set? Jail. Safety protocols not observed. Jail. Plinking at a range within 50 miles of set. Jail.
Will George Stephanopolis let Baldwin lie and cry again? That interview was a joke but what do you expect from ABC and GMA?! Like when Robin Roberts sat and agreed with lying Jussie Smollet. 😂🤣🤭
Give it some time and it will be Trump’s fault. Liberalism is a mental disorder 🍻
If the hammer is rotated back, and then released ( which he admitted to) the gun will fire. No need to actually pull the trigger if the sear is not in hammer notch.
In a Double Action revolver it would, not in a colt 45 Single Action. You need to lock the hammer back and pull the trigger, that's what single action mean, either he pull the trigger with the hammer not lock (which will not fire) or he lock the hammer but did not pull the trigger (which will not fire) or if he can move the hammer back manually then pull the trigger, the gun would probably fire, but then that would have been a malfunction.
The investigators inspected the weapon recently and found he had to pull the trigger to fire the weapon, and that he lied about it going off.
No one is asking why there was LIVE ammo within it.. @@JohnFreedman0
@@JohnFreedman0 You're only speculating that he lied about this. He seems convinced he never pulled the trigger, but he may have pulled it not realizing. Especially when you're holding a real gun as a prop during rehearsal, and the immediate shock/aftermath of the incident. He is likely remembering it incorrectly, but that is a lot different than lying. But remember that he didn't know that the gun was loaded, which is a key to this problem.
@@xocomaox I was just going off of the police report, which has Alec stating he never pulled the trigger, and that "the gun went off". Investigators tried to recreate this striking it, and it was impossible to recreate.
The firearm used was a F.lli Pietta long Colt 45, which requires 4-6lbs of pressure to squeeze the trigger. Which is very noticeable for one finger.
If the pressure was like 0.5 pounds I would be willing to accept that, but to me it just seems like a blatant lie. Sorry
He should be held responsible as he should've questioned more about the gun to the prop master. Also the prop master being the daughter of the legendary prop master Thell Reed was very incompetent. Why would you hire an inexperienced person. Might as well hire Thell Reed as he is more of the expert. Also Alec saying I didn't pull the trigger is stupid because once you put your hand on the trigger and press it you are literally releasing the bullet from the barrel of the gun. The actor served as a producer in this film and it's his responsibility to make sure everyone is safe. In the end both he and the prop master Hannah Reed should be held accountable. I looked at the dash cam recording via ABC news of Hannah's interview and she looked like she was on drugs or something just blabbing as she spoke some gibberish. To me that woman was very incompetent and had no idea how to handle the guns or the bullets. Even if it's an independent small budget film you can't take shortcuts, spend cheap etc., you still need to hire professionals who know what they are doing and in this case her dad Thell Reed should've served as a consultant to this film like he has served for other films like Tombstone, 3:10 to Yuma, The Quick and the Dead, The Magnificent Seven etc.
well look at you! It's captain hindsight!! looks like youre handing down life lessons to everyone. Thank you!
He actually didn't need to know anything about the prop master job. As an actor he was trained specifically on how to handle firearms safely and if he had been following screen actors guild certification guidelines, nobody would have been shot. He literally had to recertify on every movie he handled guns in. Rule number one is to always point the firearm to the side of your coworkers and never directly at them. If you pass your drivers test and then ignore signs and enter a highway going the wrong direction, you won't be allowed to claim you didn't know any better, because you passed a test that says otherwise. Same with him. Stop.defending professionals who screw up.
He hired her because she worked for "peanuts" and he's a predictable cheapskate when it comes to "the little people".
what a completely ridiculous take. Alec Baldwin is innocent and has no responsibility in the shooting.
its nepotism likely doing a favor for Reed so his daughter can get her foot in the door Hollywood is full of stuff like that
This is gonna make every actor think twice about making a movie with guns in it
Baldwin said in the interview that he didnt pull the trigger, but he pulled the hammer halfway back then let it fall back in place. When the hammer fell back in place it hit the primer with justvenough force to discharge it. If it wasnt pulled back far enough to engage the trigger, it can fall and discharge the weapon. This is what Baldwin said happened in his interview, he pulled the hammer about halfway back then let it fall back in place. When he did that, the firearm discharged. However it happened, you always check your firearm when you receive it. If the one in charge of the firearms on the set tells you its unloaded you check it with them after they hand it to you. Never take someones word without checking it yourself, thats gun safety 101.
The problem with the half cocked theory is that it's a modern replica with the transfer bar and without a finger on the bang switch, there is no connection to the firing pin.
Yeah, and he lied through his fucking teeth, Brandon Herrera does an experiment with the exact same gun and proves that Alec Baldwin has officially killed more people than 99% of gun owners.
He's not going to get convicted because LE and the prosecution botched this case from the beginning. The FBI damaged the gun in testing.
The gun was thoroughly tested by gun experts who will testify it cannot fire by dropping the hammer. I thought the same thing because that is how the original six shooters worked, but not this replica.
Whoever is responsible for a real gun with live rounds and a firing pin being on set is the one at fault.
In my state, there are shooting range's every 5 miles. They also offer free hunter safety classes to kids. I was certified and legally got my first deer at age 7. Safety is a huge part of firearms and it's taught at a young age. Why would you have live ammo on a movie set to begin with, and why didn't he personally look at the shells before aiming and firing towards anyone? There's no way I'd trust someone if they said a gun is unloaded. I would double check regardless. The whole scenario doesn't make sense.
In New Mexico we’re go out to the back pasture, away from the livestock and structures.
Same difference.
As a Texan I have had gun safety drilled into my head forever but this doesn’t mean I expect someone as an actor to have that level of respect for gun safety. That’s ridiculous. Most people know guns from movies. Who in their right mind would expect live ammunition on a movie set at all. Maybe if they needed special shots but I don’t think they’d use actors for that without it being a huge ordeal. Why the hell are people acting like he pulled out his personal weapon at a dinner party and accidentally shot someone?!?
have you ever fired a prop gun at a camera while a directory of photography stands behind the camera, whats the safety on that?
@@nicsxnin6786 Alec also had all that gun safety drilled into him many times over the years as part of his union duties. He was fully aware of basic firearm safety. Just like you.
@@flakesinyershoe8137 i doubt a few lecturers equates to handling guns your entire life with the the threat of a beating if you ever point a gun at a person you don’t intend to kill. That every gun is loaded and deadly. I don’t think I could point something that’s not fake plastic at someone and shoot, that’s how intrinsic it is to me. Not to actors who don’t expect to have LIVE AMMUNITION IN THEIR PROP GUN!
You know actors and prop guns have been around for a very long time so by now it should be the actors responsibility to check when the gun is in their hands as the last line of defense so make sure there aren't real amo in the guns or they don't use it...
The last line of defense is also the number one rule they teach in the union mandated firearms safety training that's required for every actor handling a firearm. It's the number one rule, never point them at anyone.
While you think "it should be", is not the law.
They often don't use "prop guns". They use real guns with blanks!
Can you say, "Hi Bubba, is that my soap?"
He should be in jail.
This report is insane, clearly a da wanting fame at the expense of tragedy. Why isn’t this about the prop manager? As a Texan I have had gun safety drilled into my head forever but this doesn’t mean I expect someone as an actor to have that level of respect for gun safety. That’s ridiculous. Most people know guns from movies. Who in their right mind would expect live ammunition on a movie set at all.

Don't let this rich criminal off too!
Safety is always the most important issue. Gun's don't shoot themselves.
If Baldwin is guilty of anything, it's not listening to his lawyer's advice to not do those interviews.
Well-said.
It’s actually quite comical, yet at the same time pretty scary. The uninformed anti gun crowd is always calling for more laws and control for the legal responsible gun owner. Well, it’s just that, being “responsible.” No responsible person, especially a responsible gun owner, would handle a firearm without safety checking it first. Regardless of who hands it to them or the circumstances involved. It’s what you’re taught on day one. Ask if it’s loaded, and then no matter the answer, check it and if applicable, unload it. We use snap caps in training yet we always treat the weapon as loaded. Always pointing the barrel in a safe direction. Good habits produce good results. AB broke the golden rule of firearm safety. Now the same crowd that scream for more rules wants to give him a pass, smh.
Baldwin was not alone in that gun being handed to him in error, loaded, and also somehow misfiring. Something very fishy about this entire deadly mishap.
You are responsible for the gun in your hands. Remember the 4 rules of gun safety.
@@beeperbeeperson Movies are different - a live round is NEVER in the gun on a set - that is what is so odd here - should never have been on the set EVER.
@@beeperbeeperson It's a movie. Why were live rounds ever there? He will not be convicted of this.
His set; his responsibility!
@@ritab-c492 Actually, it is spelled out very differently in film production contracts. Sorry to break it to you.
it would've been really easy to tell if the revolver was loaded. just open the cylinder gate, and rotate the cylinder to inspect the back of the cartridge. if any of the cartridges had a primer in them, STOP! and unload the revolver. but alec couldn't be bothered to take the 30 seconds to do this, and now a woman is dead. never trust anybody to tell you a revolver is unloaded, check it yourself!
At the scene 🎬 of the crime the actor is the last line of defense to make sure there’s no live rounds in the gun,you failed your responsibility and now you will stand face to face with the judge 🧑⚖️.
well-said
Yea you heard it here folks! Never a good idea to tell EVERYONE multiple stories of the facts when you will have to answer the same questions under oath in court ~ ??
Then why do they have Prop and Armorers? If the Actor is responsible for the guns are they responsible for the cars too? You think Actors should be responsible for the condition of Cars, Trains, Horses, Buildings the other Actors too, I guess. If the actor is supposed to drive a car and a tire falls off, bounces and hits a person and kills them that is the actor's fault for not checking the tires? We know actors probably trust mechanics, but now actors need to check that tires are on and doors stay shut so no one falls out, do they need to check rail tracks to make sure they are strong? Where does it become the responsibility of a Prop person and not the actor? Or are you just making Guns the exception?
about time
Hes always been a critic of gun control because he never educated himself on firearms
it is basic gun safety to ensure your gun is not live regardless who gave it to you
So he deserves to go to jail because he disagrees with your politics. Yikes, are we living in North Korea?
Lock him up already.
Am I missing something? When this first came public wasnt the whole defense that he thought it was a prop gun? I own guns and obviously know firearm safety but Im not going to treat an airsoft gun like a real gun...
I think the gun was a Uberti and no one could mistake that for an air soft gun.
He is trained to use guns. BS from his lawyer saying he's not an expert or knowledgeable about guns. He hunts so don't tell me he doesn't know.
That creep should be in jail
I say.. Hallelujah! Show us the trial! Full Disclosure! If we have the time we want to watch it!
Its the same thing if you're driving a vehicle with drugs in the car....how many cop shows do you hear, "its not my car/pabts/jacket...." once custody of the vehicle/gun is in your possession by law your responsible for Any subsequent infractions or violations. END OF
What if you are shooting a movie and you are the driver and someone stashes drugs in the car. Are you guilty?
Don’t think he’ll get a fair trial.
And his victim?
@@DiscipleofHim nothing to prevent the victim’s family from filing a civil suit. Given how the state has botched the handling of this case from the start, the family is more likely to prevail in a civil case where the standard for conviction is “a preponderance of evidence.”
He's an actor playing roles. It wasn't his job to handle the firearms & ensure their safe use. There was an expert hired to do that & she failed at that job. She is the one that should be charged.
If your daughter was killed feel the same?
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Why should the actor be charged for the armorer’s actions? The armorer is responsible for all this, not the actor. If Michael Massee wasn’t charged, neither should Baldwin be charged. Period.
Because Alec shot the gun, not the armorer. If someone handed you a gun and you shot someone dead would you blame them for telling you the wasnt loaded?
He killed a woman because of his ignorance, and he lied, said he didn't pull the trigger when he did. Why did he lie?
The armorer didnt shoot the gun.
The armorer didnt clear the gun.
The armorer didnt give him the gun.
This is baldys fault through and through.
@@michaelkensington2494 doesn’t matter. In the film industry, the buck stop with the armorer. Period.
@@rosemariemello6675 You weren’t there, so how can you say he lied, when you weren’t there?
It’s sad everyone points at Baldwin. but what about the people in charge of loading the guns or inspecting the bullets or who ever was in charge of the ammunition’s.
Idk I feel like he should be charged but with something less then manslaughter but he is a producer on the movie and should have known who he was hiring and made sure everyone on set was safe. He didn’t meant to shoot and kill her but that the basically the deification of manslaughter so idk.🤷♀️
He was irresponsible and should be held accountable
He murdered someone and could care less.
I’m glad the grand jury decided to bring charges again! If it wasn’t a celebrity, we would still be in jail, if not prison. Alec hasn’t shown ANY remorse whatsoever!!!
He’s saying he didn’t pull that trigger, but in all the testing on that gun it proves him wrong.
I believe that charges should also be given to the armorer as she was responsible for loading that gun prior to him using it.
I really doubt that he will spend any time in jail because he’s a celebrity. He should be treated the same as an ordinary citizen by law. That is fair and just.
Justice must be served to bring closure for her family.
He murdered that woman there’s no denying it. He shouldn’t have even been aiming at her behind her camera!!!!
The armorer was not responsible for loading Baldwin's gun. The armorer wasn't even present when Baldwin killed his victim- Baldwin kicked her off the set beforehand. And loading a gun is not a crime in New Mexico.
Is it too late for him to enroll in a NRA firearm safety course?
Probably,,but it's not too late to contact the set armorer on "Seal Team" and ask who checks the ammunition in the actor's props before filming a scene..
@@4catsnow that too... but NOBODY is more responsible for using a REAL firearm, than the one who has it in their hands.. Baldwin broke the number one safety rule.. Pretty ironic given he’s derides others on gun safety issues.
Is that what Kyle Rittenhouse did before his shootings?
@@MrPeterbsWhat do you even mean by that (in context) .. Or was THAT all you could come up with?
Lame and desperate reply, since the Rittenhouse incident was intentional and ruled self defense. (That ohyeahwhataboutry attempt was absolutely mindless).
@@NHLblkgurl So has been 'ruled' so far in this case? The context is that the exact same people who want to lynch Baldwin twisted themselves into knots to defend Rittenhouse who admitted he deliberately armed himself to deliberately confront people. btw civil charges are still pending against him.
He should of been in jail along time ago. This country is a freaking joke.
I agree with this, but, what is to be gained? It won’t bring her back.
SAG-AFTRA puts support behind Alec Baldwin following manslaughter charge in 'Rust' movie shooting.
""To the extent that the charges filed on January 19 are based on an accusation of negligent use of a firearm predicated on this or any actor having a duty to inspect a firearm as part of its use, that is an incorrect assessment of the actual duties of an actor on set," it said."
"It added, "An actor’s job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert. Firearms are provided for use on set under the guidance of multiple expert professionals directly responsible for the safe and accurate operation of that firearm."
Im no Alec Baldwin fan, but shouldn't the armorer be charged? Im sure Baldwin knows nothing about guns and was relying on that person to provide him with a prop. Why would the armorer, who is responsible with firearms on set, load a live round and not a blank?
Why stop with Rust?
Good.
People come here thinking it’s the Wild Wild West.
Why is he not in jail or out on bond? If it was you or me think about it
He is not responsible at all. There is a person who has to take care about safety of weapons and who is paid for it.
Who put the bullets into the gun? Why isnt this being discussed?
HE SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR "MURRDER"
You should learn how to SPELL!!
HE SAID IN THE STEPHANOPOULOS INTERVIEW "I COCKED THE GUN"....remember ccap guna as a child you didn't need to pull the trigger you locked it and let it go and it fired

This is wild and rip Alayna this is so damn wild and sad
He smells of lies when he speaks as well, something very chilling about Alec Baldwin, something isn't right about this, there seems to be too many "coincidences" that all had to come together for someone to die.
Let's face it you hate him and want to hang him. Right?
That's BS!! How is it HIS fault the person who loaded the prop did their job incorrectly!?
Very good news!!! Hopefully he will be charged accordingly!
Ever since he opened his mouth on politics and the best president this country has ever had, I've got nothing but dislike for him and his ignorance.
It is the same as a drunk driver death..I am sure he did not mean it so many give him only 7-8 years in prison.
Not even close
I actually don’t think Alex Baldwin’s career is over or that he’ll go to jail he may be punished but I don’t think he’s finished yet.
HE KILLED HER THEN ACTED LIKE HE WAS THE VICTIM
Why isn't he in jail? He will probably get a slap on the wrist. Most of us who aren't celebrities would be going to jail for years.
Why are they using a real firearm in a rehearsal? I don't really understand this. Also not sure why they use a real firearm even when filming. There's plenty prop guns that are made to fire blanks (cannot be loaded with a real round) so this is just baffling. I guess their budget may have been quite low and they only had a few real weapons to use whenever one was needed.
Bet he doesn't do ANYYYY prison time!
Still dies not answer the basic question.
Who TF had live rounds on the set???
That’s the person that needs to go to jail.
Furher, Baldwin didn’t handle the gun properly at all!
Both are culpable.
I’m wholly opposed to relationship between family of any level. But I have seen firsthand the problems with relationships between first cousins specifically and how sad it is. My brother-in-law married his first cousin on their mothers’ side. Their first son had to have open heart surgery before he was 18 months old. Their second son has deformities, had to have multiple surgeries before two years old and has had health issues from birth. He is now nine or ten years old but is not developed beyond three years old mentally, and is physically unable to walk or really do anything for himself. In fact, he’s spent more of his life than not with a feeding tube, and has spent almost as much time in the hospital. My cousin-in-law/sister-in-law has son from a previous relationship that is perfectly healthy and “normal”. He’s had no health issues or obstacles and developed as any healthy baby and child.
What?
What the hell are you on about?
This seems ludicrious to me.
Why, because someone who killed someone is getting justice?
@@skylarc6063 (1) because I have empathy and (2) I understand punishing someone for an accident is nonsense.
I can still have empathy and want justice done for someone who killed another person out of their negligence.
And yes getting punished for an accident, thats why its manslaughter and not murder, but it was still a death out of negligence. He had every opportunity to clear the gun but refused.@@crazymusicman13
If the gun was handed to him with live ammunition then the person that placed the live ammunition in it is responsible for the death of that woman this is straight out common sense.
If your daughter was the one shot?
This guy lies about his wife's heritage so what makes me think he's above lying about manslaughter?
He said it not him who pull the trigger!!!???? WHAT????? BILLY THE KID?
Everyone should have been more careful.
They hired an unexperienced girlie as prop manager. Now every actor has to first become an expert in all technical aspects of filming that MIGHT be dangerous. Well, it's the US justice system: idiocracy achieved.
The prop manager that is usually on set couldn’t be there and sent his young daughter instead!!!! She was very young and claimed she had lots of experience watching her father. Sad indeed.
@@cabingirl1961 She was not a "prop manager", she was the armorer. The job of an armorer is to inventory and maintain firearms, and she did that just fine- Baldwin's gun didn't get lost, and it functioned exactly as designed.
Baldwin chose to violate every single basic rule of firearms safety, pointed a loaded gun at innocent people, manually cocked the hammer all the way back, put his finger on the trigger, and pulled it, killing his victim through his own negligence, in violation of New Mexico's Involuntary Manslaughter statute 30-2-3.
Is Baldwin on bond conditions the same as normal people would be? Including no alcohol or drugs with daily monitoring and urine testing? (America is upside down!) We must pray for the lords coming to end this government madness!
WTF, didn't we hear about this yesterday? What is new here?
This is why live firearms should never be used in filming, armorers are a waste of money
I like real ones in a movie. Accidents like are almost non existent.
Accident like this is why you will never see them on screen
@@GaryTurbo That's in your head only. LOL
@@GaryTurbo Baldwin chose to use a fully-functional firearm as a movie prop.
Youre keep proving why live firearms shouldn't be used on set
1) Why would he ever have pointed the gun at the camerawoman?
2) Colt revolver experts have stated-you have to “pull” the trigger on this firearm. It doesn’t simply go off, like Baldwin’s penis.
3) He apologized, expressed guilt immediately afterwards….then, after reconsidering, changed his rendition and attitude.
4) Hopefully he’ll do some penal servitude.
I always think of a Ken doll when I see this anchor.
NOT a FAN of Baldwin, and NEVER will be, but I have to be fair in my mind, that him being criminally culpable is Ridiculous. IN Civil Court? Yes.
100% agree. I despise him. He has already paid out millions to her family as settlement.
Obviously you have zero professional training, knowledge, experience, or skills in this area.

Baldwin, as executive, is responsible for what occurs on the set. And there was a culture of carelessness.....When you pick up a firearm, you are responsible for any consequences while it is in your hands...Firearm safety rules are simple and well known.
If the rules were simple and well-known, this death and millions of other killings would not have occurred. Guns are deadly and in the wrong hands are murder weapons. Thats my take.
@@DiscipleofHimThe rules ARE simple and well known, but the self-absorbed Democrat narcissist could not trouble himself to learn the rules and then use a little mindfulness when handling a firearm. We should be teaching firearm safety to kids from a young age.....
I clearly remember a little discussion with some of my 2nd grade classmates about not pointing firearms at other people, even if they are toys. In our seven year old minds we realized that not everyone may know that it is a toy.....
This angers me so much! Alex has been so heartbroken and was so cooperative. This is insane. It was an accident!!!!!
He did show remorse. He was very emotional about the whole thing. He’s not a killer there should’ve never been ammo in the gun anyways he may be a lot of other things but we know the man’s is not a killer. This is ridiculous. It was very obvious it was an accident.
It doesn’t seem he’s in Saturday night show , making fun of Trump anymore.
Its so utterly sad that after two people failed to do their jobs, he then failed normal protocol as well. But the fact that he shot her center mass? That's just crazy sad.
