Actor Alec Baldwin shoots and kills Director on set of movie

[MinTrut]

Blanks cannot penetrate a human body all the way through and then penetrate another human body.

It's not clear what the discharge was, or the precise manner in which it impacted the victims.

If you have video of the shooting, please share it with the authorities.

If you provided any actual "facts" we could have a discussion.

But your position is that Baldwin intended to murder the woman on the set, yet you've provided absolutely nothing to support that.

Try again, you giggling fuck...

wrong---we've been over this--it is still criminal WITHOUT intent--that's the law

1. OBVIOUSLY YOU are stupid---if they had practiced gun safety--the person WOULD NOT BE DEAD!!!!

Just to be clear, it isn't known what was in the gun.

Well that is ass backwards, 100% wrong and Alec Baldwin is not going to be charged with a crime.

Are y'all keeping up with the reports? Crew WALKED OFF the set the same day this shit happened BEFORE it happened because..drumroll...that SAME GUN was fucked up. Wouldn't fire, then did fire, wouldn't, would. Told crew to get out, and they got non union people in there that had no clue about how to handle guns, etc.

And why were live rounds on a MOVIE SET?

There had been issues with firearms on the set.

And it isn't clear what was in the gun; this has not been established.

...you have to be an idiot to take a firearm from someone and start shooting without checking it

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

For the love of god...don't let a shit lib handle a loaded weapon.

I'm reading live rounds

Production crew walked off Baldwin movie set before tragic shooting

The workers had been complaining about the fact they had to stay overnight in Albuquerque - an hour's drive from the set - and not Sante Fe because production wouldn't pay for their hotels.

How is intentionally pointing a gun you haven't checked at an innocent person and pulling the trigger make it "not your fault"?

I don't like Baldwin BUTTTTTTTTTT....apparently the management of the film which includes Baldwin were having Labor disputes sending 4 union members home and replacing them just a few days earlier----perhaps one of them decided to get back at the set and baldwin by putting real ammo in the gun. An article earlier referred to the bullet in the gun as live ammo not prop ammo, which don't get me wrong also kills at short distances and has killed on set before. I am reserving judgement till we find out if it was a live round, and who put the round in the gun, or if Baldwin lost his temper and/or under the influence and went after the woman. IN any case, I don't see how this wasn't murder.

and Baldwin is the producer? so, if he's in charge, there's more evidence he is to blame

He may well have liability on several fronts.

No, intentionally pointing a gun at an innocent person and pulling the trigger is not an accident.

It's not clear what was in the gun; blanks can kill.

Was there a bullet in the dead woman's body?

all these things will have to be clarified.

At close range even blank round with paper wadding is dangerous. Just ask Jon-Erik Hexum. He shot himself in the head with prop gun and killed himself.

Sounds like it went clear through her and lodged in the director's shoulder.

I'm not expert in this, all I know is that "real" prop guns have been used forever in Hollywood, since the industry began in the 1910s, and nobody has been killed by them, that's all I know.

In my opinion in this case it was a real gun used by an irresponsible prick.

 

[MinTrut]

Was there a bullet in the dead woman's body?

Or compelling evidence of pass through.

all these things will have to be clarified.

Indeed; much speculation now...

I'm not a fan of Alec's politics, but I'm so sorry about that tragedy. Baldwin is a good actor and a human being, so my thoughts and prayers are with him and the victims.
