Actor Alec Baldwin fired prop gun on set of ‘Rust’ that killed cinematographer

[White 6]

Mr Trump never did anything wrong

He did plenty wrong, but was just running his mouth about shooting people on 5th avenue. He hasn't go the sack.

The problem is these people spend so much time getting things handed to them....they don't check it themselves.
When people do things for you all the time....you really don't take the time to check.

Now on top of being an alcoholic, a child abuser, and a wife beater, Baldwin is now a murderer.

 

[mudwhistle]

Baldwin has major anger issues and substance abuse problems. This needs to be investigated as a potentially intentional act.

No.....it's clearly a careless act. Criminal negligence.

 

[mudwhistle]

Baldwin will now dedicate his life to gun confiscation, blaming everyone else for his murdering.

Baldwin has pretty much taken away his moral high-ground.

 

[marvin martian]

No.....it's clearly a careless act. Criminal negligence.

Maybe, maybe not. Anyone who points a gun at an innocent person and pulls the trigger has issues. It's not like this was during a scene, like what happened to Brandon Lee. Baldwin killed a crew member and wounded another while the cameras were off.

Horseshit. It was the fault of the prop department. You think Baldwin brought a real gun to the set and got them mixed up, or something?

I think Baldwin was banging the woman, and he didn't want it to go any further, because of his family of five kids. So he put the bullet in the gun and shot her.

Why else would he point a gun at a crew member and pull the trigger?

If it was supposed to be a close up of a gun firing, they would not do it on a live set, they would do it in a closed set designed for the stunt.

Some would call that a rehearsal.

 

[$ecular#eckler]

So, you believe Baldwin intended to kill the cinematographer?

Since you want to convince us that it wasn't an accident, and since you seem to know that it wasn't an accident, please explain the intent. Why did Baldwin kill her?

Because he was banging her, and he realized that he did not want anyone to find out, because of his large family he's got going.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Wow.

Lemme' ask you: Do you dress yourself?

 

[marvin martian]

Pointing a gun at the cinematographer and director is a rehearsal? That isn't how scene blocking works.

 

[whitehall]

You can bet your ass that there is enough money floating around H'wood so that nobody goes to jail even for negligent homicide.

The only reason he had a gun was because he was getting ready to rehearse.
Otherwise he'd be in his trailer studying his lines or sipping wine.
Again....I'm sure the gun was handed to him.
He didn't just pick it up and start pulling the trigger, unless he's a complete idiot....and that would make him guilty of homicide.

Like the guns in Star Wars?

Star Wars guns are probably a bit too futuristic, I don't really know, I'm not a big movie fan, but there's not much substitute for a real gun with a blank cartridge — it has to make a loud noise and kick back on the movie set or it isn't realistic and people won't buy the movie. "Chick flicks" with no guns no violence just people sitting on the couch being emotional are a bore even for women and girls.

It's irrelevant if he picked it up, or if it was handed to him. He was in possession and control of it when he fired it at a person. Who doesn't check a gun before pulling the trigger??? And who the fuck points it at an innocent human being in the first place???

This is beyond just negligence, it's a level of irresponsibility that should preclude him from being allowed around other people at all, ever.

 

[justinacolmena]

But a blank can kill you.

Possibly, if you push the muzzle right up against a vital organ and pull the trigger. But more than likely just a bruise from a blast of hot air, if there's no bullet.

Edit: Wait a second! This is Hollywood. There's real wine being drunk, real drugs being dealt. People don't know what they're doing anymore.

Uh....criminal negligence is pretty much what you're describing.

Absolutely.

When a gun is in my hand it is my responsibility to make sure it is safe.

I can't hire somebody else to assume that responsibility, even if I am a big shot Hollywood actor.
