Alec Baldwin Indicted

[horselightning]

Did the Brandon Lee believe the gun was not loaded?

thats a different situation.

Under normal circumstances you'd be correct.

On a movie set, not so much. You count on the Armorer not to hand you a loaded weapon and you count on the director to make sure the set is safe when he tells you to point the gun at the camera for an establishing shot.

If he was not such a political shill for the Progs, many people would not have any concern. We can expect some nasty Trump impersonations on SNL soon enough from old Alec.

Baldwin must think he's Trump....murder someone and get away with it.

no he thinks he is biden go to beach pout head in sand

Regardless of the constant back and forth on whether he will be convicted of a crime.

Alec Balwin aimed a gun at another person and pulled the trigger and will have to live with the fact he killed another human being for the rest of his life.

The irony being he has killed more people than 99.9% of those he demonizes politically.

and wounded another

 

[airplanemechanic]

Is that the requirement on every movie using a gun?

The actor is responsible for gun safety?

Prove that and you might have a case

The person pulling the trigger is responsible for gun safety.

Being an actor doesn't absolve them of responsibility.

He is charged with manslaughter in connection with the shooting on the movie set of Rust. It is time he faced justice.

He should get few extra months in jail for his SNL Trump imitations.

Those were the worst imitations I've ever seen.

alec sucks

Except guns used in motion pictures are generally toy props
If someone handed him a gun and said…Be careful, this gun is loaded, you may have a point.

Did Joe Pesci check to see if this gun had live bullets when he filmed this scene?

Joe isn't pointing the gun at a PERSON! He is pointing it at a CAMERA!

DURRRRRR

 

[westwall]

MAGAts are out to get him.

You wanna see what a real political prosecution looks like?

THis is it.

He fucking KILLED a woman you asshole!

 

[westwall]

To me, it depends what the procedures are on the set.
If an actor is expected to check a gun after being told it is clean, you might have a valid point.

But if a prop master/ armorer is responsible for making sure all weapons are harmless on a set and tells the actor….this gun is clean

I can’t see how it can be the actors fault

Rules have been set for years by the propmasters and armorers.

Rule number 1 is YOU NEVER POINT A GUN AT A PERSON!

 

[Crepitus]

He fucking KILLED a woman you asshole!

It was a terrible accident. And not one caused by him.

You MAGAts hate him because of his politics. That's all this is.

 

[westwall]

Well it is a good point. One should never actually point a gun directly at center mass.. even if you think its a fake gun. BY NOW.. in the shooting of thousands of films, this should be a rule.

It IS a rule. Has been for DECADES!

 

[westwall]

Honestly though, Alec Baldwin's politics suck and he can be a nasty, mean spirited man if he doesn't like you. But I will never EVER believe he was intentionally negligent in that case and certainly didn't intend any physical harm to anybody.

He probably did inadvertently pull the trigger but, if he did, it was an inadvertent act and with no intention of threatening or harming anyone. It was a tragic accident.

Does he owe restitution to the victim's family? Probably given that he was likely careless with a gun he had no reason to believe was loaded with live ammunition. Will the world be better off or safer with him in prison? I just don't see how that is even reasonable.

It wasn't inadvertent. He cooked the hammer. Pointed the weapon. And then pulled the trigger.

Three separate acts. One of which, pointing the gun at her, is forbidden by every rule of gun safety.

 

[westwall]

Which safety measures is an actor supposed to invoke when handed a cleared weapon on the set?

ALL of them.

 

[westwall]

It was a terrible accident. And not one caused by him.

You MAGAts hate him because of his politics. That's all this is.

Oh? Had he not pointed the gun at her and cocked the hammer and then pulled the trigger, would she still be alive?

 

[Grumpyolman]

Who in the bloody hell put a live round in that single action Colt replica? Was Baldwin their boss? Do liberals know anything about guns?
