re: Baldwin charged again

What's not understood, is the gun being loaded is only one part of the issue here.

Yes, conceivably Baldwin is not guilty for that.

But the gun was NEVER supposed to be fired AT someone. Baldwin did that, and that's the issue.

Then to compound that, he hired a shite company to save money to be the armorer and allowed multiple other events to happen that led to the gun being left loaded with a live round.

Then he pulled the trigger and shot AT someone.

The gun being loaded is absolutely THE ISSUE

Actors have an absolute reasonable expectation that guns on set are not live ready to fire unless EXPLICITLY told so

This is where the thread always goes off the rails, and all the hunters chime in about always treating anything that looks like a gun as if it’s loaded.

Certainly everyone ensures their children clear their nerf guns and super soakers before filming YouTube videos. But just in case they don’t, they hire armorers to be certain someone didn’t paint an AR-15 to look like a prop.

But, just in case that scenario exists, there should be another layer that ensures someone who painted the rifle for YT videos wasn’t letting their friends load it with live ammo to shoot targets after hours.

There comes a point where so many people are responsible for an action that nobody is.

Nah, it's a pretty simple concept. Don't point a loaded weapon at a person and pull the trigger. It wasn't a "prop" gun, it was a real weapon. It doesn't matter who loaded it, or what it was loaded with. They weren't filming or rehearsing a scene, he pointed a loaded gun at the cinematographer and pulled the trigger. The action that caused her death is his responsibility, and his alone.

That was also debunked. Guns are often fired AT people in movies.

He just randomly did this? wtf

They were rehearsing.

When these guys are shooting automatic weapons I'm sure it happens on occasion. But from everything I've seen this is patently false, that they absolutely use angles.

Are you going to let Alec Baldwin fire a blank at you? Frick that, what actor or cameraman is going to do that? Its just absolutely stupid

Almost as easy of a job as not pulling the trigger aimed at someone?

They were rehearsing.

They were at rehearsal. They were not rehearsing a scene. What part of the script called for him to point the gun at the cinematographer?

Explain how a rehearsal vs a take makes any difference here? You 100% are out for political blood Your opinion on this means every actor needs to check air bags, safety ropes, gun props, etc anytime before they do a stunt scene with another actor. It’s a joke and you 100% know it Alex Baldwin is 100% an assclown but you aren’t using logical or fair judgement at all

A movie set does not exclude someone from the laws of the jurisdiction that the set operates in. Here’s what the state needs to prove Baldwin guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of involuntary manslaughter:

1. Baldwin performed an act that could result in the death of someone ( he pointed a gun at someone with his finger on the trigger.)

2. Baldwin KNEW that his actions are inherently dangerous

3. Baldwin acted with a willful disregard of others

4. His act caused the death of someone

5. The crime happened in New Mexico


Points 1, 4, and 5 are slam dunks for the state - I don’t think there’s any disagreement between parties on those points.

Point 2 Baldwin will try to fight, but he’s not credible - already admitted in an interview that he would never point a loaded gun at someone. Also, he’s a gun control advocate and his dad was shooting instructor. Not many people can plead ignorance that a gun is an inherently dangerous object and extraordinary care must be taken when handling

Point 3 is where the legal battle will be. We already know Baldwin is trying to blame the prop masters, but the state has a lot of ammo with him being the producer, how he was going ad hoc without the armorer present, not taking other precautions such as remote cameras or shields to protect the woman killed. I’m sure the state will call actors/witnesses that detail how these things happened in Baldwin’s other movies.
