Thanks for your measured and thoughtful response. You clearly have a very objective and analytical mind. Can I make one suggestion? The next time you try and troll a TH-camr, take a second to google/fact-check your insults. For example, if you look up “DMS,” you’ll find that you got the name wrong. This makes you seem impulsive and emotionally unregulated - which, I am certain, is FAR from the truth.
@@nicholassmith479 … it’s “DSM”. Diagnostic and statistical manual - we are on edition 5. My point was that @Cindy Wilson was too comfortable slamming a manual she knows nothing about. Your quick move to “Dirty Money Syndicate” is also interesting.
POP PSYCH Glad you find my response interesting. I google DMS meaning and after several unhelpful responses and found that one. Just a shot in the dark. Thanks for clarifying.
Alec Baldwin is acting a part to protect himself and his public image. The Police told him not to do interviews and to keep quiet until investigation was completed. He did not listen to the Police and went forward to tell his version of the story which does not match up with story 2 eye witness who are sueing Alec Baldwin & Rust production company Armour & Assistant Director too.. Miami Mitchell script supervisor witnessed what happened and her story is very different from Alec Baldwin story.
Well the interview worked. I hate him even more mow than I did before the interview. The one thing I will never forget is when he blamed Halyna Hutchins in part for her own death. She told me to do it. Yeah , he deserves a good lawsuit against all of his belongings for that statement . Halyna Hutchins family should own it all. And do any of your remember what he said to his 11 year old daughter? He called her "a rude thoughtless little pig " Alec cares only about himself. I hope he finds true love in prison. He should be very popular amongst all the guys in his cell block.
It is common for people who survive a disaster or a battlefield to feel shame and guilt. "Why was I spared and the others died? I could have done something. I should have done something. They deserved to live as much or more than I." It is a hallmark of responsible people that they are quick to accept a share of blame. Their first thought is what they could have done differently. The irresponsible are first in line to foist blame off on everyone else.
Baldwin lives in an irresponsible, fantasy world filled with fairy tales, unicorns and his lies. His interview suggests Hutchins and mechanical mysteries caused the homicide. The Hutchins family now lives in a world of sorrow, and grief as they watch closure get farther and farther away with each day. It is time for Baldwin to be treated as adults are, and not be given the same pass as a grade school child for negligent homicide. Baldwin feels sorrow for Baldwin and no one else. What Baldwin is doing is very, very sick.
He is a typical narcissist. Deflecting blame, distancing himself. He's gonna make it sound so good that he believes it is the reality and needs the world to know this as truth. He's disgusting. Poor excuse for a man
Unfortunately ALEC wasn’t crying about Halyna. He was crying because he knew what he did and what his life from here on out may look like. It’s all about himself and his world.
Alec Baldwin, the very "angry" narcissist. Alec's father was a military sharpshooter and took the boys shooting often and taught them gun safety at a young age. He knows the gun went off.
He did the interview to sell lies. Unfortunately, there are allot of people that know how firearms actually work, and he proved to us that he is a complete and totally responsible for this incident.
Genuine grief for the woman he killed would have resulted in Alec making full reparation and taking some part of the blame. Taking part in this shameless P.R. stunt shows only his concern for his own career. Absolutely vile.
he didnt need to do the interview for me to tell that he is too lazy to care for human life that he didnt wanna bother himself for 6 seconds to check the gun.
"One person has a responsibility" Yeah...if your hand is touching the firearm. You are responsible. You should know if it's loaded, what it's loaded with&all actions and consequences that follow. Baldwin has been in movies with firearms since at least 1988 with Miami Blues, a movie with a poster, he had a firearm in his hand...in the poster. He's been around since before Brandon Lee, he's been in action movies since 1993. He has no excuse. You treat every weapon like it's a weapon,and that it can take life. End quote. You are responsible for everything that comes out that barrel. Period.
"... she was loved by everyone who worked with her, liked by everyone who worked with her and ... admired..." This is where he had to start balling because he was going to say something less flattering and he knew it.
BS. Quit passing the buck Baldwin. Every single person in the gun community knows that the person holding the gun is ultimately responsible for gun safety and responsible to check the gun. We got a guy in prison here for failing to empty and check his firearm after hunting and his hunting partner was killed as they pulled their guns out of the vehicle. Big difference between a professional actor ( I saw no tears) crying and a kid who is standing trial basically for his future freedom.
Well he did have genuine tears though! When he was discussing his acting career, how much he loved it & how important it was to him! Lol no empathy for the Dead wife & Mom though! That was probably his worst acting yet!
Agreed, anyone holding a gun is 100% responsible for ensuring it is safe. If someone handed me a gun, the first thing I do is clear it and ensure it is safe. I don’t care if I just saw them do it in front of me , I still clear it.
Be careful diagnosing without a degree & a proper evaluation! I do not have a degree, but I do work in the field & do alot of referrals! Alec would be at the top of my list for requiring a full eval! I see some red flags that seem to exceed just a npd diagnosis, but without a proper eval it is hard to determine, but he definitely warrants a referral! So I advise to word it as something you are seeing is suggestive of......, rather than it coming off as an actual diagnosis! Just my 2 cents!
From all of his shenanigans over the years he doesn’t really have that great of a public reputation anyway. This incident just makes it worse. Then to add the knowledge that we have now about the environment of the set, in my eyes, adds insult to injury, and puts the blame in his court. I am absolutely astonished that his PR team would agree to him doing this interview.
His PR team would both encourage, and coach the narrative. His best, and only hope, is in the court of public opinion. After this interview where is a jury not familiar with his case going to be found? No! This a calculation, and ABC is complicit! Whether they recognize it or not, ABC is going to be suspect in covering up for “its own” in the TV/movie industry. Baldwin’s recklessness was applauded when he mercilessly parodied a sitting, duly elected President (no matter what his personal opinion was). He stuck a ruthless neck out, and the “Industry” championed him. This is, truly, going to be interesting..
Let’s not play “benefit of the doubt “ here, or suffer the chronic ambivalence that plagues professional psychology, now. How could a man who is known for immaturity, reckless anger, and violent outbursts take responsibility for the consequences of his behavior? With Alec it’s always been “they deserved it”!, or “they caused it.” His father was a Marine Marksman, for crying out loud. Check his boyhood! Sooner or later with his fierce escalating assaults, it was almost inevitable, that someone was going to be seriously injured, or die at his hands. He certainly knew at a young age about guns! You know turning things around to be the victim, when they are actually the perpetrators is a hallmark narcissistic trait. He left that interview convinced he had “clean hands”.
Alec's father coached a shooting team (high school) for 28 years, the first 25 years of Alec's life. Alec discusses this in his "memoirs" and admits that he spent significant time on the range with his father. Then in the George "Softball" Stepho interview, Alec says some unnamed armorer (on an unamed film) early in his career ruined him for life (instructing him to never check a gun). That should have sounded wrong to Alec more than anyone. And then, what about the subsequent films (with armorers doing things differently? More like he learned from his dad? And other actors doing things the way Clooney says is normal: checking the gun?). That interview was miserable in its missed opportunities. Anyone who has fired a 45-long colt cartridge knows the difference between blanks. Alec said the armorer spent most of the time showing him how to fake the recoil, as if that was the most important part of their "safety meeting." If he wasn't pulling the trigger, that gun would have likely flew out of his hand. He would have *instantly* known it wasn't a blank. But, he says it never occurred to him until someone told him an hour later that they recovered a slug. This was a case of someone ignorant of guns (and anti gun) interviewing someone who wants everyone to be ignorant of guns (and anti gun). Softball Stepho missed tons of questions to ask. WHat's the name of that armorer who ruined Alec? WHat film was it? Let's hear from others who worked with that armorer. Did anyone else have that experience? (All "Softball" could muster was "what did you have for breakfast the morning of this tragic accident?").
The reason Trump Jr had a shirt with guns don’t kill people Alec does. Is because Alec said to Trump jr. How does it feel killing an innocent victim? I believe after Jr killed an animal. I agree no one should kill an animal except for food. But it was just payback for jr to mock Alec.
I think it takes a special kind of arrogance to think that your words are so powerful that they can change the narrative of such a highly emotional situation. Even after a fair trial, the narrative around Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t change. But Alec thinks that by simply speaking, the world will simply comply with his wish to change the narrative? This isn’t his first rodeo.
That's the sad reality. The same public that accused Kyle Rittenhouse of "shedding white man's tears" (whatever that means - apparently, showing grief while being white is automatically disingenuous and racist nowadays) will gladly accept AB's "remorse without actual remorse" because of his long-standing political alignment. It's really frightening to witness how much (and how quickly) our society regresses towards primitive tribal mentality, where "us versus them" narrative trumps basic facts. Kyle Rittenhouse's trial (and especially reactions to it's verdict) was a great example of how people who have the strongest oppinions are usually the ones who show the least interest in what actually happened.
We (my significant other) and I have had to deal in life, and in a legal situation, with someone who is somewhere on the personality disordered spectrum. (This person accuses many others of having NPD, so we are guessing there may have been a diagnosis there at one point of time.) Once you realize that they will repeat the same pattern of behavior, and that you will always be accused of what that person is actually doing, it became much easier to deal with. This person just can’t keep from talking and trying to convince others that they are the true victim and everyone else is at fault. We learned to just be quiet and take what was being said, and in the end, the true story would become apparent to others. It absolutely isn’t always easy to do, but overall it has helped us in court and has helped us to cut the drama out of our lives (as much as possible.) And yes, we’ve had therapy to help us with this. 🙂 Alec talking, reminds me of this. His need to be the victim, to make sure others don’t think badly of him or see a fault.
The interview was produced likely by Alec himself :D it was nothing short of theater but in the process, he exposed his true personality :/ Which does not take a rocket scientist to see he is totally narcissist ... same with Jucy Smolette :/ #Circus and both these personalities should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law .. he should do TIME :(
What I found thoroughly unbelievable was that the gun discharged - which in itself is going to produce not only a decent kickback but also a painful-to-the-ears amount of noise from a supposedly "empty" gun - and then immediately after is this guy who has a history of anger issues yelling at anyone over the gun being loaded? No indication of that so far. Immediately after a forceful/loud discharge of a supposedly empty gun his cinematographer that he was pointing the gun at collapses on the floor... Does he rush to her showing any concern? No.. he supposedly leaves the set and "doesn't even know for 45-60 minutes" that he actually shot her. None of that makes any sense to me. I'm sorry, I never would be in that position of course - I would check the gun myself when it was handed to me - but even assuming I was somehow in that position, gun just discharged "accidentally" and someone directly in the path of a bullet, where the gun was aimed at, collapsed in front of me... I would instantly be concerned and if not actively helping her would be at her side yelling for someone to call 911, for anyone with medical experience, etc. I wouldn't be walking away as if nothing happened and be "shocked" an hour later to find out if shot & killed someone. FFS, that entire story alone sounds ridiculous and unbelievable.
Alec is a narcissist and an egomaniac who can't stand letting lawyers represent his interests or speak for him. He lives in a fantasy world where he thinks he can control the narrative and make the world sympathetic to him with the power of a single moving performance. Alec Baldwin doesn't understand that the suspension of disbelief is only employed by an audience who are willfully buying into a piece of fiction. In real life it only comes off as contrived cringe.
Not only did he make a fool of himself by doing this farce of an 'interview'....he attempted to make a fool of his audience. It totally backfired on him...which is exactly what that gun should have done. Rest In Peace to that beautiful young woman & prayers to her family for having to endure Baldwin adding insult to injury with his blame shifting.
I thought it was odd that AB missed his cue when he talked about meeting the widower. He's also the producer ... but he is just a simple actor when it comes to taking responsability.
Lol...the music was unreal, I'm surprised he wasn't wearing a fake cast on his leg, carrying a rescued puppy, and pushing a kid in a wheelchair! What a douche!
In the Canadian Military, if you clear your rifle and then fire (into a safety pit) and it discharges you are charged, because you didn’t safely clear your weapon. This applies, even in theatre. If someone hands me a weapon and I just saw them clear it in front of me, I clear it again. Anyone handling a weapon should know all the safety precautions and ensure it is safe, or don’t take ahold of it at all.
What he reveals in this interview is that Armorer is to check the gun THE Armorer was not even in the church so why did Baldwin have the gun in his hand and do what he did without her there
You are missing the point! He failed to check the gun, pointed it at the victim and pulled the trigger, PERIOD! Nothing else matters! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ANYONE DID OR TOLD HIM PRIOR TO BEING HANDED THE WEAPON! WEAPONS DON’T FIRE THEMSELVES! Baldwin’s “explanation” is an ABSOLUTE JOKE! Baldwin is 100% responsible for this terrible tragedy! Time for him to go to jail!
The way I see it, he is an experienced actor, he is used to controlling his responses in front of a camera and switching his emotions around. So I take it all with a grain of salt. I think this incident will change how things are done with firearms on film sets. Either they will move to using fake props, or the actors will educate themselves on how to check if the firearm is completely empty before filming the scene. Actors generally trust that the props they’re given are safe to use. I see that shifting going forward.
True, but to trust scene-gun-safety to whether an Actor educated himself properly on gun safety, or not, is a weak approach (Baldwin proves this by his ignorance and sloppiness/amateurness )...Fake props is the way for 100% safety ( so you pay few more thousand dollars for the sake of Safety...worth it...or, police/authorities on scene for each and every gun scene, though still in the hands of "" human error"...Props allow no error other than checking it IS a prop and not a real gun). Baldwin's was obviously a mistake, but 100% preventable if he had checked the gun prior to handling it...how about in 25 seconds? 35 seconds? worth it?
Check out George Clooney response to Rust shooting to get the accurate story.This was totally preventable!!! If Alec Baldwin had followed gun safety rules which all actors, actresses anyone handling fire arms follows this would not have happened!!
@@ezmereldagerard6999 then consider his Dad was firearms trainer for all his life! Alec talked about going out with his Dad! Alec is doing all to shift the blame to anyone but him! He is anti-gun & will use the fact he killed with 1 to take our rights to own them , never acknowledging his extreme negligence himself!
I suspect the sheriff and law enforcement allowed this to take place for a reason. To observe, To see what it shakes out from the tree. In every other case where something similar has been allowed to take place before a trial or charges it has been because there is some suspicion.
Cops tell them they have a right to remain silent! It is the attorneys who say don't talk! The police probably want him to keep talking as he keeps revealing more & more! If I am investigating someone or something, the last thing I want them to do is shut up! Keep talking, but it ain't helping Alec!
I feel like Alen Baldwin was prepared, or perhaps even couched for this interview. Reason being, the laws I have been able to research on the internet are specific about accidental discharges, and pulling the trigger. Not only that, he demonstrated feeling devastated over the incident, and specifically avoided saying that he felt guilt. This is important, because admitting guilt could get him convicted, and admitting pulling the trigger could possibly mean the difference between a federal charge vs a misdemeanor. If I were a betting man, I would bet that his testimony in court will be almost identical to this interview. Keep in mind, I am not an attorney myself, but to the best of my knowledge, and research on the topic, this seems probably in my personal opinion.
He did in a sense admit guilt. He said going forward things would be different. He thereby admitted he didn't follow industry normal practice as outlined by Clooney.
@@darrylbaker5271 @Darryl Baker Saying that he would do things differently going forward is different than saying "No I don't feel guilty." Baldwin said he couldn't imagine doing another film that involved a fire arm, and he told George Stephanopoulus "No," he didn't feel guilty when the question was asked. He also neither confirmed or denied that he didn't follow industry standards and shifted the blame to the person who trained him in handling fire arms on the set. In fact his comment about George Cloony's comment was that allot of people said things that didn't help the situation. The biggest things that I have been able to that he admitted to, that he didn't seem to be shifting the blame to someone else, was that he had heard about another accidental shooting on the set. He claimed that he had only been talked to about the complaints the crew had about where they were staying, but there is a very brief moment where he mentions knowing about another accident. He also received and email on that. I personally am disappointed that Alec Baldwin wasn't asked why he didn't go on strike after hearing about the earlier accidental shots, and receiving the email.
Him admitting No Guilt nor Pulling the Trigger would make him More Guilty than if he would have admitted to it in the eyes of a jury. They would be more sympathetic to him. I would.
Alec B. has been ruleless against gun rights. Yet, very quick to judge people with guns but never had the intention to learn to handle firearms safely.
So glad that you took a second look at what Alec Baldwin put out there & what actually happened. He's gotten away with being a big bully for way too long in my opinion! 🚫💩🤮
The way Alec was able to shed his tears is because he rubbed peppermint oils under and around his eyes. It is an old actors trick, you can clearly see this is what he did by the way his skin quickly reacts to the oils and turns red. His skin turns red only where he touched his eyes and his nose, he held his finger on his nose and it quickly turned red also.
I didn't see a single tear shed. I saw him gesture as if he was wiping them away. I didn't see wet skin, or a tear fall. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I didn't see it, but it's there. I saw a narcissist suffering an egoic injury, feeling true pain for themselves. That can be cognitvely applied to other people who suffered loss in the process of the narcissist's loss. But, it's primarily about the narcissist losing control of their future, their reputation, etc. That can feel like death to a narcissist.
Baldwin, 63, had tweeted on Sept. 23, 2017, about Huntington Beach police officer Eric Esparza being caught on video shooting dead Dillan Tabares, 27, who’d punched him and reached for his gun. “I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone,” the actor wrote of the police shooting that the Orange County District Attorney’s Office later ruled had been justified. The tweet came back to haunt him this week after Baldwin accidentally shot dead his new film’s director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured its director, Joel Souza, 48, on the New Mexico set of “Rust.” WELL WONDER NO MORE!!!
Nice spin about the whole Baldwin thing, but we should be more straightforward, base on FACTS... A) Any average person that KNOWS gun-safety/basic rules etc, would always check a gun thoroughly (how about in 20 seconds in this revolver's case..25 seconds? for the sake of safety?) before using it in ie "acting", no matter what anyone else said when handing it to him/her; if you are handling the gun in an acting situation ( Baldwin), you have an OBLIGATION (gun rules, not "set rules", not " Baldwin rules & protocols") to CHECK IT REGARDLESS of what your are/were told and regardless of anyone else's opinion on this subject .. .B) That leaves Baldwin as 100% responsible for firing it loaded( not 100% for why it was loaded w/live round...to be investigated ) C) Only other REMOTE POSSIBILITY which FBI can figure out, is was it an either faulty or modified gun, prompting it to shoot when it shouldn't do so (we know this is farfetched, but let authorities confirm it wasn't, 1st, assuming it wasn't) D) So ,BOTTOM LINE : anyone handling that same revolver Baldwin has, and with "normal gun-safety 101 rules being obeyed? ...it follows that that girl is alive and well today....Baldwin handling the gun ( zero gun-safety rules followed in terms of proper gun-rules, not "set rules" nor " Baldwin rules"?: girl dead, other guy injured and could have bee also killed( got lucky) E) and, this guy doesn't feel " guilty"...wow!!!! ...very measured words use by him in an "attempt" to not only lobby public opinion in his favor(didn't work), but to "protect" himself legally from accepting any "guilt" for his actions (I didn't pull the trigger..who put the live round there? someone else is to blame blablabla)....all this won't help him, because he over-talked beyond any legal advice.
1) Does it matter who loaded the live round? sure it matters, but doesn't excuse Mr Baldwin from not CHECKING the gun first prior to his scene ("last man/user"...must check gun again) 2) Does it matter who told him " cold gun"....sure matters, but up to the actual user in the acting scene ( Baldwin) to check the gun HIMSELF prior to using it in his scene 3) If I go to a Gun Show and a gun dealer hands me a gun and tells me it is unloaded, am I going to take his word for it?... including if he points it around nonchalant as many dealers do, will I let him carelessly point it at me based on his world that unloaded? 4) Baldwin trying to 'escape" by saying he was told " cold gun" , so he BLINDLY accepts that statement and handles the gun just on someone elses word ( whether he pulled the trigger or had pressure on the trigger ...more likely scenario...or faulty/modified gun) WITHOUT CHECKING WHAT IS LOADED IN IT... PRIOR TO HANDLING IT IN THE SCENE !!!...Not checking it is what killed the girl...not anything prior to that....ACCIDENT fine an accident no doubt, but 100% PREVENTABLE BY MR BALDWIN !!!...all he needed to do is know gun safety rules 101 and common sense related to gun-handling....
I imagine the day after the interview, Alec baldwin's lawyers were probably like, "see? We told you this wouldnt go over well. We werent advising you to avoid it out of some kind of effort or narcissistic desire to order you around; we are LITERALLY JUST people formally trained and experienced in the area of legal strategies and law who simply, despite how obvious this should have been to you (as it is to pretty much the rest of the world, ) was just not even acknowledged much less afforded the respect our experience should have reflected upon us." Seems to me that the validity of the lawyers advice was so deliberatkyunnacknowledged that it had acknowledged pretty much everything in the universe that never had been. In the world of a narcissist though, it seems pretty apparent that people who actually have the necessary experience to give solid advice, matters not at all, and certainly matters not even within the order of magnitude compared to the weight of a narcissist's own opinions and experience. I feel like this case is teaching me so much about society that I never expected to learn.
I too held any judgement, but after watching that interview? I concur with everything u said... seriously wonder how much ego it takes to truly believe u can talk ur way out of any responsibility and feel no guilt.
He wants to bring confusion and a greater number of information to muddy the waters before it's taken for adjudication. He was also looking to gain sympathy as he cans see he was being questioned and as an elite person in Hollywood, and in life, he is offended that anyone would give him "come back" he's used to having everyone snap to and obey him.
What is the actor's responsibility? To treat any gun as if it is loaded. To check it yourself or have another show it to you. And never to aim it at anybody and touch the hammer. Period.
Alec oozes narcissism ! He is not a nice guy. He needs to take ownership for what he did. He is also an abuser I will never forget jow he talked to his daughter.
Billions to one, and YET it came true. His failed duty was to check the gun as he was warned by The One he refuses to believe, that his gun was loaded. The murderer used him as a tool, yes, he didn't load it. But he COULD have listened and saved her life. Her blood he will repay in part. His acting with the public paying to see it - is over.
I think he saw Kyle Rittenhouse and was impressed at how he got up there and told his story and got public opinion on his side. And Alec thought, that's the ticket. If that little kid can do it, I the great actor, certainly can! And he got his talking points in order, the main one being that it's not the actors responsibility, but the armorer's . Problem is, Alec messed around with the gun WITHOUT THE ARMORER'S BEING THERE. In doing so, he usurped the armorer's job and took it upon himself, BUT THEN DIDNT DO IT. Alec did not check the gun.
Just keep in mind he is a very good actor for years. Just remember the way he acted with his own daughter don’t you remember the answering machine the massage he left his ex-wife .I don’t believe he’s innocent he has anger issues and we all know it there were something going on with the person he killed he was in an accident
Law of Power: 4.) “Always Say Less Than Necessary.” “When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.”
WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT BALDWIN YOU SOUND LIKE A FAN ,YOU KNOW HE DID SHOOT HER RIGHT. WHY DID HE EVEN DO AN ENTERVIEW. HE IS SO CREEPY AND WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?
I don't feel original story was true. The DA gets the case next year. The civil lawsuit paints a different story. Two people aren't talking means big problem(Joel Souza Helana Hutchins) 2 people traumatized named in civil case. 1 spider bite employee. Union crew walks off set. Gun tampered with according to the Sheriff. Scene did not call for a gun? Alec expected to dry fire a gun which could be damaged? Way too many questions. Was Alec angry? Why the need to explain if it was an accident? A much better approach would be some form of of foundation for the family and support from maybe Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton or Obama somebody. I think he went William Blake on us personally.
Pop Psych...You already KNOW the answer. As does he, he was told all this would be the result of ignoring more sound advice. His self-destruction is a flaming certainty now. And I have no joy in that...
Watch him describe how she told him to position the gun. He makes a finger gun using his thumb for the hammer. As he mimics pulling the hammer back his trigger finger, simulating the barrel, curls as he pulls the hammer back.
The Don Jr. shirt was genius...Alec is a hypocrite....always virtue signaled about gun violence and social issues on twitter...and then he uses a gun and kills a woman...and its all the guns fault...not his....someone else...but NOT him...that shirt was awesome.😆
How does one fire a .45 and not know it? I've fired one like it was my .22 but the recoil ripped it out of my hand. I find it hard to believe Alec was wonder why those two fell down after the weapon fired. Inside that building fireing a .45, na bet the shot hurt everyone's ears.
I would feel so horrible if I had done something like that. I couldn't get away from the guilt, even if it was an accidental. My heart goes out to this woman's family.
I agree with what you said. Just a little detail about the gun, if he pressed and held the trigger, then pulls the hammer the whole way down, then releases that hammer, the gun will fire, he doesn't even need to release the trigger. Also, even if he "didn't know that he pulled the trigger", legally it doesn't really matter, he can still be a criminal, it doesn't become an accident just because he didn't know. It's just a different kind of crime, like negligent manslaughter or reckless manslaughter.
I'm not a psychologist but even I know that Baldwin displays all the signs and symptoms needed to be labeled as having narcissist personality disorder. Narcissism is coming out his ears.
Well it most likely was a accident! People pay for accidents! He is no different then the average person! It’s really sad and should have never happened! Guns don’t kill ! People do! It’s the person behind it! Whether accidental or deliberately! It was negligent on all of the people involved and that most definitely involves him! So he should just admit to his fault for not checking snd taking someone else’s word for it!
4:00 Compare Baldwin's tears in the interview to Baldwin's tears when acting in movies or showing how he acts in videos about acting. Same thing. He was acting. Kyle Rittenhouse was genuine.
hi dr . i would like to D.A to open an investigation and D.A needs to obtain all mobile , desktop ,laptop devices and extract all Base data and review it.I honestly believe there was a relationship or just did not want to work with the director. something just does not look right.

Thanks for your measured and thoughtful response. You clearly have a very objective and analytical mind.

@@nicholassmith479 Oh! Sorry! I thought you were saying that I was a "dirty money syndicate!"
By doing this interview, it shows how concerned he is about how the public perceives him rather than the tragedy at hand.
Alec Baldwin is acting a part to protect himself and his public image. The Police told him not to do interviews and to keep quiet until investigation was completed.
He did not listen to the Police and went forward to tell his version of the story which does not match up with story 2 eye witness who are sueing Alec Baldwin & Rust production company Armour & Assistant Director too.. Miami Mitchell script supervisor witnessed what happened and her story is very different from Alec Baldwin story.
@@ezmereldagerard6999 I Have To Agree.
Well the interview worked. I hate him even more mow than I did before the interview. The one thing I will never forget is when he blamed Halyna Hutchins in part for her own death. She told me to do it.
Yeah , he deserves a good lawsuit against all of his belongings for that statement . Halyna Hutchins family should own it all.
And do any of your remember what he said to his 11 year old daughter? He called her "a rude thoughtless little pig "
Alec cares only about himself. I hope he finds true love in prison. He should be very popular amongst all the guys in his cell block.
First things first, this was no interview but a scripted scene same as when they so called interview Democrat politicians.
RIGHT? I always give people the benefit of the doubt, But this case really makes it clear that you really cant assume the best in people.
He actually said he felt no guilt. Normal people see someone slip and fall on the train and feel bad, never mind actually causing their death.
And the way he said it too.
It is common for people who survive a disaster or a battlefield to feel shame and guilt. "Why was I spared and the others died? I could have done something. I should have done something. They deserved to live as much or more than I." It is a hallmark of responsible people that they are quick to accept a share of blame. Their first thought is what they could have done differently. The irresponsible are first in line to foist blame off on everyone else.
He is pure evil.
It's a lame attempt of legal maneuver. That's all it is.
Baldwin lives in an irresponsible, fantasy world filled with fairy tales, unicorns and his lies. His interview suggests Hutchins and mechanical mysteries caused the homicide. The Hutchins family now lives in a world of sorrow, and grief as they watch closure get farther and farther away with each day. It is time for Baldwin to be treated as adults are, and not be given the same pass as a grade school child for negligent homicide. Baldwin feels sorrow for Baldwin and no one else. What Baldwin is doing is very, very sick.
No mistory in trigger stick in an old single action.

HOMICIDE, You said it right 👏 !
He is a typical narcissist. Deflecting blame, distancing himself. He's gonna make it sound so good that he believes it is the reality and needs the world to know this as truth. He's disgusting. Poor excuse for a man
Unfortunately ALEC wasn’t crying about Halyna. He was crying because he knew what he did and what his life from here on out may look like. It’s all about himself and his world.
Look again at the side pictures of his face. The bags under his eyes are so fake.
Alec Baldwin, the very "angry" narcissist. Alec's father was a military sharpshooter and took the boys shooting often and taught them gun safety at a young age. He knows the gun went off.
He did the interview to sell lies. Unfortunately, there are allot of people that know how firearms actually work, and he proved to us that he is a complete and totally responsible for this incident.
Genuine grief for the woman he killed would have resulted in Alec making full reparation and taking some part of the blame. Taking part in this shameless P.R. stunt shows only his concern for his own career. Absolutely vile.
he didnt need to do the interview for me to tell that he is too lazy to care for human life that he didnt wanna bother himself for 6 seconds to check the gun.
"One person has a responsibility"
Yeah...if your hand is touching the firearm. You are responsible. You should know if it's loaded, what it's loaded with&all actions and consequences that follow. Baldwin has been in movies with firearms since at least 1988 with Miami Blues, a movie with a poster, he had a firearm in his hand...in the poster. He's been around since before Brandon Lee, he's been in action movies since 1993. He has no excuse. You treat every weapon like it's a weapon,and that it can take life. End quote. You are responsible for everything that comes out that barrel. Period.
His Dad was also an arms trainer! So he has been around them his whole life! Alec plays dumb, or chose never to pay attention to lessons learned!
Exactly. I recently rewatched the latest Mission Impossible and it is eerie some of his lines while holding and pointing a gun. He's guilty as sin.
"... she was loved by everyone who worked with her, liked by everyone who worked with her and ... admired..." This is where he had to start balling because he was going to say something less flattering and he knew it.
Correction, fake bawl! The real emotion was seen when he was talking about himself & the possibility of losing his beloved acting career!
TH-camr Viva Frie had a really interesting take on Alec and the gun in this interview.
The obvious point is: What would he have done if the scene called for him to point the gun at his own temple?
Great point! Bet it would be different and it has to do with how he views himself.
BS. Quit passing the buck Baldwin. Every single person in the gun community knows that the person holding the gun is ultimately responsible for gun safety and responsible to check the gun. We got a guy in prison here for failing to empty and check his firearm after hunting and his hunting partner was killed as they pulled their guns out of the vehicle. Big difference between a professional actor ( I saw no tears) crying and a kid who is standing trial basically for his future freedom.
Well he did have genuine tears though! When he was discussing his acting career, how much he loved it & how important it was to him! Lol no empathy for the Dead wife & Mom though! That was probably his worst acting yet!
'There's one person that's supposed to make sure that what's in the gun is right" - Alec Baldwin
Yes. The person holding it. Always.
Agreed, anyone holding a gun is 100% responsible for ensuring it is safe. If someone handed me a gun, the first thing I do is clear it and ensure it is safe. I don’t care if I just saw them do it in front of me , I still clear it.
He literally feels no guilt, his words. That is more than a narcissist dude's a sociopath.
Be careful diagnosing without a degree & a proper evaluation! I do not have a degree, but I do work in the field & do alot of referrals! Alec would be at the top of my list for requiring a full eval! I see some red flags that seem to exceed just a npd diagnosis, but without a proper eval it is hard to determine, but he definitely warrants a referral! So I advise to word it as something you are seeing is suggestive of......, rather than it coming off as an actual diagnosis! Just my 2 cents!
From all of his shenanigans over the years he doesn’t really have that great of a public reputation anyway. This incident just makes it worse. Then to add the knowledge that we have now about the environment of the set, in my eyes, adds insult to injury, and puts the blame in his court. I am absolutely astonished that his PR team would agree to him doing this interview.
If was on his PR team, I would be in a psych ward.
His PR team would both encourage, and coach the narrative. His best, and only hope, is in the court of public opinion. After this interview where is a jury not familiar with his case going to be found? No! This a calculation, and ABC is complicit! Whether they recognize it or not, ABC is going to be suspect in covering up for “its own” in the TV/movie industry. Baldwin’s recklessness was applauded when he mercilessly parodied a sitting, duly elected President (no matter what his personal opinion was). He stuck a ruthless neck out, and the “Industry” championed him. This is, truly, going to be interesting..
I wonder if he would have pointed the gun at himself if the cinemaphotographer told him to.
Great question
Let’s not play “benefit of the doubt “ here, or suffer the chronic ambivalence that plagues professional psychology, now. How could a man who is known for immaturity, reckless anger, and violent outbursts take responsibility for the consequences of his behavior? With Alec it’s always been “they deserved it”!, or “they caused it.” His father was a Marine Marksman, for crying out loud. Check his boyhood! Sooner or later with his fierce escalating assaults, it was almost inevitable, that someone was going to be seriously injured, or die at his hands. He certainly knew at a young age about guns! You know turning things around to be the victim, when they are actually the perpetrators is a hallmark narcissistic trait. He left that interview convinced he had “clean hands”.
Well said.
Alec's father coached a shooting team (high school) for 28 years, the first 25 years of Alec's life. Alec discusses this in his "memoirs" and admits that he spent significant time on the range with his father. Then in the George "Softball" Stepho interview, Alec says some unnamed armorer (on an unamed film) early in his career ruined him for life (instructing him to never check a gun). That should have sounded wrong to Alec more than anyone. And then, what about the subsequent films (with armorers doing things differently? More like he learned from his dad? And other actors doing things the way Clooney says is normal: checking the gun?). That interview was miserable in its missed opportunities.
Anyone who has fired a 45-long colt cartridge knows the difference between blanks. Alec said the armorer spent most of the time showing him how to fake the recoil, as if that was the most important part of their "safety meeting." If he wasn't pulling the trigger, that gun would have likely flew out of his hand. He would have *instantly* known it wasn't a blank. But, he says it never occurred to him until someone told him an hour later that they recovered a slug.
This was a case of someone ignorant of guns (and anti gun) interviewing someone who wants everyone to be ignorant of guns (and anti gun). Softball Stepho missed tons of questions to ask. WHat's the name of that armorer who ruined Alec? WHat film was it? Let's hear from others who worked with that armorer. Did anyone else have that experience? (All "Softball" could muster was "what did you have for breakfast the morning of this tragic accident?").
Here here!
@@markfuller indeed!
I could have not said that better myself.
The reason Trump Jr had a shirt with guns don’t kill people Alec does. Is because Alec said to Trump jr. How does it feel killing an innocent victim? I believe after Jr killed an animal. I agree no one should kill an animal except for food. But it was just payback for jr to mock Alec.
bull shit i have not seen one Jackass that knows what there saying about this colt modal
@@stanleypapini5165 i bet they can spell it
Still, Trump Jr. is a repulsive narcissist, just like his father.
One question Stephanopoulos failed to ask him was "why do you feel the need to defend yourself so vigorously now when no one has even been charged?"
I think it takes a special kind of arrogance to think that your words are so powerful that they can change the narrative of such a highly emotional situation. Even after a fair trial, the narrative around Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t change. But Alec thinks that by simply speaking, the world will simply comply with his wish to change the narrative? This isn’t his first rodeo.
He is elite, so his narrative should rule over facts. Lol
That's the sad reality. The same public that accused Kyle Rittenhouse of "shedding white man's tears" (whatever that means - apparently, showing grief while being white is automatically disingenuous and racist nowadays) will gladly accept AB's "remorse without actual remorse" because of his long-standing political alignment.
It's really frightening to witness how much (and how quickly) our society regresses towards primitive tribal mentality, where "us versus them" narrative trumps basic facts. Kyle Rittenhouse's trial (and especially reactions to it's verdict) was a great example of how people who have the strongest oppinions are usually the ones who show the least interest in what actually happened.
@@niznikb Well said!
Touche!
I see Kyle I feel empathy, I see Alec acting I feel nothing.
Alec was negligent as hell: and negligence kills. A fitting end to a piece of shit.
Oh those narcissists are a special breed. They will minimize, gaslight and lie right to your face just to avoid accountability.
We (my significant other) and I have had to deal in life, and in a legal situation, with someone who is somewhere on the personality disordered spectrum. (This person accuses many others of having NPD, so we are guessing there may have been a diagnosis there at one point of time.) Once you realize that they will repeat the same pattern of behavior, and that you will always be accused of what that person is actually doing, it became much easier to deal with. This person just can’t keep from talking and trying to convince others that they are the true victim and everyone else is at fault. We learned to just be quiet and take what was being said, and in the end, the true story would become apparent to others. It absolutely isn’t always easy to do, but overall it has helped us in court and has helped us to cut the drama out of our lives (as much as possible.) And yes, we’ve had therapy to help us with this. 🙂 Alec talking, reminds me of this. His need to be the victim, to make sure others don’t think badly of him or see a fault.
He is definitely NPD.
The interview was produced likely by Alec himself :D it was nothing short of theater but in the process, he exposed his true personality :/ Which does not take a rocket scientist to see he is totally narcissist ... same with Jucy Smolette :/ #Circus and both these personalities should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law .. he should do TIME :(
Linda, what does showing a circus have to do with this topic.
What I found thoroughly unbelievable was that the gun discharged - which in itself is going to produce not only a decent kickback but also a painful-to-the-ears amount of noise from a supposedly "empty" gun - and then immediately after is this guy who has a history of anger issues yelling at anyone over the gun being loaded? No indication of that so far. Immediately after a forceful/loud discharge of a supposedly empty gun his cinematographer that he was pointing the gun at collapses on the floor... Does he rush to her showing any concern? No.. he supposedly leaves the set and "doesn't even know for 45-60 minutes" that he actually shot her. None of that makes any sense to me.
I'm sorry, I never would be in that position of course - I would check the gun myself when it was handed to me - but even assuming I was somehow in that position, gun just discharged "accidentally" and someone directly in the path of a bullet, where the gun was aimed at, collapsed in front of me... I would instantly be concerned and if not actively helping her would be at her side yelling for someone to call 911, for anyone with medical experience, etc. I wouldn't be walking away as if nothing happened and be "shocked" an hour later to find out if shot & killed someone.
FFS, that entire story alone sounds ridiculous and unbelievable.
I wonder how many takes it took to get the crying scene just right.
one acor told the behavior panel actors use peppermint oi extract on their hands
Just 1, he's a really good actor.
Alec is a narcissist and an egomaniac who can't stand letting lawyers represent his interests or speak for him. He lives in a fantasy world where he thinks he can control the narrative and make the world sympathetic to him with the power of a single moving performance. Alec Baldwin doesn't understand that the suspension of disbelief is only employed by an audience who are willfully buying into a piece of fiction. In real life it only comes off as contrived cringe.
Not only did he make a fool of himself by doing this farce of an 'interview'....he attempted to make a fool of his audience. It totally backfired on him...which is exactly what that gun should have done. Rest In Peace to that beautiful young woman & prayers to her family for having to endure Baldwin adding insult to injury with his blame shifting.
I thought it was odd that AB missed his cue when he talked about meeting the widower.
He's also the producer ... but he is just a simple actor when it comes to taking responsability.
“Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin does” 🤣, he cries but no tears, no wonder he never won an Oscar
Don’t worry, you won’t be doing anymore movies Alec.
This was not an interview. Have you seen an interview with sympathetic background music? Me neither. This was an INFOMERCIAL.
Lol...the music was unreal, I'm surprised he wasn't wearing a fake cast on his leg, carrying a rescued puppy, and pushing a kid in a wheelchair! What a douche!
One person has the responsibility for the gun safety and it's the person holding the gun. ALWAYS.
In the Canadian Military, if you clear your rifle and then fire (into a safety pit) and it discharges you are charged, because you didn’t safely clear your weapon. This applies, even in theatre. If someone hands me a weapon and I just saw them clear it in front of me, I clear it again. Anyone handling a weapon should know all the safety precautions and ensure it is safe, or don’t take ahold of it at all.
What he reveals in this interview is that Armorer is to check the gun THE Armorer was not even in the church so why did Baldwin have the gun in his hand and do what he did without her there
You are missing the point! He failed to check the gun, pointed it at the victim and pulled the trigger, PERIOD! Nothing else matters! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ANYONE DID OR TOLD HIM PRIOR TO BEING HANDED THE WEAPON! WEAPONS DON’T FIRE THEMSELVES! Baldwin’s “explanation” is an ABSOLUTE JOKE! Baldwin is 100% responsible for this terrible tragedy! Time for him to go to jail!
@@scottpollack1007 I'm wondering if he will get an obstruction charge ?
I am sure he is saddened by what happened, but he acts like he had nothing to do with it, like he didn't do it.
The way I see it, he is an experienced actor, he is used to controlling his responses in front of a camera and switching his emotions around. So I take it all with a grain of salt. I think this incident will change how things are done with firearms on film sets. Either they will move to using fake props, or the actors will educate themselves on how to check if the firearm is completely empty before filming the scene. Actors generally trust that the props they’re given are safe to use. I see that shifting going forward.
True, but to trust scene-gun-safety to whether an Actor educated himself properly on gun safety, or not, is a weak approach (Baldwin proves this by his ignorance and sloppiness/amateurness )...Fake props is the way for 100% safety ( so you pay few more thousand dollars for the sake of Safety...worth it...or, police/authorities on scene for each and every gun scene, though still in the hands of "" human error"...Props allow no error other than checking it IS a prop and not a real gun). Baldwin's was obviously a mistake, but 100% preventable if he had checked the gun prior to handling it...how about in 25 seconds? 35 seconds? worth it?
Check out George Clooney response to Rust shooting to get the accurate story.This was totally preventable!!! If Alec Baldwin had followed gun safety rules which all actors, actresses anyone handling fire arms follows this would not have happened!!
All that happened after Brandon Lee was killed on set! Alec doesn't act like the same rules apply to him though!
@@ezmereldagerard6999 then consider his Dad was firearms trainer for all his life! Alec talked about going out with his Dad! Alec is doing all to shift the blame to anyone but him! He is anti-gun & will use the fact he killed with 1 to take our rights to own them , never acknowledging his extreme negligence himself!
I suspect the sheriff and law enforcement allowed this to take place for a reason. To observe, To see what it shakes out from the tree. In every other case where something similar has been allowed to take place before a trial or charges it has been because there is some suspicion.
Cops tell them they have a right to remain silent! It is the attorneys who say don't talk! The police probably want him to keep talking as he keeps revealing more & more! If I am investigating someone or something, the last thing I want them to do is shut up! Keep talking, but it ain't helping Alec!
I feel like Alen Baldwin was prepared, or perhaps even couched for this interview. Reason being, the laws I have been able to research on the internet are specific about accidental discharges, and pulling the trigger. Not only that, he demonstrated feeling devastated over the incident, and specifically avoided saying that he felt guilt. This is important, because admitting guilt could get him convicted, and admitting pulling the trigger could possibly mean the difference between a federal charge vs a misdemeanor.
If I were a betting man, I would bet that his testimony in court will be almost identical to this interview.
Keep in mind, I am not an attorney myself, but to the best of my knowledge, and research on the topic, this seems probably in my personal opinion.
He did in a sense admit guilt. He said going forward things would be different. He thereby admitted he didn't follow industry normal practice as outlined by Clooney.
@@darrylbaker5271
@Darryl Baker
Saying that he would do things differently going forward is different than saying "No I don't feel guilty." Baldwin said he couldn't imagine doing another film that involved a fire arm, and he told George Stephanopoulus "No," he didn't feel guilty when the question was asked.
He also neither confirmed or denied that he didn't follow industry standards and shifted the blame to the person who trained him in handling fire arms on the set. In fact his comment about George Cloony's comment was that allot of people said things that didn't help the situation.
The biggest things that I have been able to that he admitted to, that he didn't seem to be shifting the blame to someone else, was that he had heard about another accidental shooting on the set. He claimed that he had only been talked to about the complaints the crew had about where they were staying, but there is a very brief moment where he mentions knowing about another accident. He also received and email on that.
I personally am disappointed that Alec Baldwin wasn't asked why he didn't go on strike after hearing about the earlier accidental shots, and receiving the email.
Him admitting No Guilt nor Pulling the Trigger would make him More Guilty than if he would have admitted to it in the eyes of a jury. They would be more sympathetic to him. I would.
Alec B. has been ruleless against gun rights. Yet, very quick to judge people with guns but never had the intention to learn to handle firearms safely.
So glad that you took a second look at what Alec Baldwin put out there & what actually happened. He's gotten away with being a big bully for way too long in my opinion! 🚫💩🤮
The way Alec was able to shed his tears is because he rubbed peppermint oils under and around his eyes. It is an old actors trick, you can clearly see this is what he did by the way his skin quickly reacts to the oils and turns red. His skin turns red only where he touched his eyes and his nose, he held his finger on his nose and it quickly turned red also.
I didn't see a single tear shed. I saw him gesture as if he was wiping them away. I didn't see wet skin, or a tear fall. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I didn't see it, but it's there. I saw a narcissist suffering an egoic injury, feeling true pain for themselves. That can be cognitvely applied to other people who suffered loss in the process of the narcissist's loss. But, it's primarily about the narcissist losing control of their future, their reputation, etc. That can feel like death to a narcissist.
Baldwin, 63, had tweeted on Sept. 23, 2017, about Huntington Beach police officer Eric Esparza being caught on video shooting dead Dillan Tabares, 27, who’d punched him and reached for his gun.
“I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone,” the actor wrote of the police shooting that the Orange County District Attorney’s Office later ruled had been justified.
The tweet came back to haunt him this week after Baldwin accidentally shot dead his new film’s director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured its director, Joel Souza, 48, on the New Mexico set of “Rust.”
WELL WONDER NO MORE!!!
Alec Baldwin has always been a total shit.
Would not this have been filmed? If she was looking at a Computer monitor is it Recorded?
It's so hard for a liberal to criticize another liberal. This video is proof of that.
Where were the tears? Who wouldn't feel some guilt? Point the gun, cork the hammer, the gun goes off, but he didn't pull the trigger?
I did not see one single teardrop.
I hope and pray this display of arrogance factors in the Santa Fe DA's decision to indict him
Touche!
Nice spin about the whole Baldwin thing, but we should be more straightforward, base on FACTS...
A) Any average person that KNOWS gun-safety/basic rules etc, would always check a gun thoroughly (how about in 20 seconds in this revolver's case..25 seconds? for the sake of safety?) before using it in ie "acting", no matter what anyone else said when handing it to him/her; if you are handling the gun in an acting situation ( Baldwin), you have an OBLIGATION (gun rules, not "set rules", not " Baldwin rules & protocols") to CHECK IT REGARDLESS of what your are/were told and regardless of anyone else's opinion on this subject ..
.B) That leaves Baldwin as 100% responsible for firing it loaded( not 100% for why it was loaded w/live round...to be investigated )
C) Only other REMOTE POSSIBILITY which FBI can figure out, is was it an either faulty or modified gun, prompting it to shoot when it shouldn't do so (we know this is farfetched, but let authorities confirm it wasn't, 1st, assuming it wasn't)
D) So ,BOTTOM LINE : anyone handling that same revolver Baldwin has, and with "normal gun-safety 101 rules being obeyed? ...it follows that that girl is alive and well today....Baldwin handling the gun ( zero gun-safety rules followed in terms of proper gun-rules, not "set rules" nor " Baldwin rules"?: girl dead, other guy injured and could have bee also killed( got lucky)
E) and, this guy doesn't feel " guilty"...wow!!!! ...very measured words use by him in an "attempt" to not only lobby public opinion in his favor(didn't work), but to "protect" himself legally from accepting any "guilt" for his actions (I didn't pull the trigger..who put the live round there? someone else is to blame blablabla)....all this won't help him, because he over-talked beyond any legal advice.
1) Does it matter who loaded the live round? sure it matters, but doesn't excuse Mr Baldwin from not CHECKING the gun first prior to his scene ("last man/user"...must check gun again)
2) Does it matter who told him " cold gun"....sure matters, but up to the actual user in the acting scene ( Baldwin) to check the gun HIMSELF prior to using it in his scene
3) If I go to a Gun Show and a gun dealer hands me a gun and tells me it is unloaded, am I going to take his word for it?... including if he points it around nonchalant as many dealers do, will I let him carelessly point it at me based on his world that unloaded?
4) Baldwin trying to 'escape" by saying he was told " cold gun" , so he BLINDLY accepts that statement and handles the gun just on someone elses word ( whether he pulled the trigger or had pressure on the trigger ...more likely scenario...or faulty/modified gun) WITHOUT CHECKING WHAT IS LOADED IN IT... PRIOR TO HANDLING IT IN THE SCENE !!!...Not checking it is what killed the girl...not anything prior to that....ACCIDENT fine an accident no doubt, but 100% PREVENTABLE BY MR BALDWIN !!!...all he needed to do is know gun safety rules 101 and common sense related to gun-handling....
Agree.
but also F) as a director (DOP) don’t ask someone to point a gun at you.
Careless all round.
I imagine the day after the interview, Alec baldwin's lawyers were probably like, "see? We told you this wouldnt go over well. We werent advising you to avoid it out of some kind of effort or narcissistic desire to order you around; we are LITERALLY JUST people formally trained and experienced in the area of legal strategies and law who simply, despite how obvious this should have been to you (as it is to pretty much the rest of the world,
) was just not even acknowledged much less afforded the respect our experience should have reflected upon us."
Seems to me that the validity of the lawyers advice was so deliberatkyunnacknowledged that it had acknowledged pretty much everything in the universe that never had been.
In the world of a narcissist though, it seems pretty apparent that people who actually have the necessary experience to give solid advice, matters not at all, and certainly matters not even within the order of magnitude compared to the weight of a narcissist's own opinions and experience.
I feel like this case is teaching me so much about society that I never expected to learn.
I too held any judgement, but after watching that interview? I concur with everything u said... seriously wonder how much ego it takes to truly believe u can talk ur way out of any responsibility and feel no guilt.
He wants to bring confusion and a greater number of information to muddy the waters before it's taken for adjudication. He was also looking to gain sympathy as he cans see he was being questioned and as an elite person in Hollywood, and in life, he is offended that anyone would give him "come back" he's used to having everyone snap to and obey him.
What is the actor's responsibility?
To treat any gun as if it is loaded.
To check it yourself or have another show it to you.
And never to aim it at anybody and touch the hammer.
Period.
There were no tears. No tears. His makeup never smeared. It remained flawless. That was all an act.
Alec oozes narcissism ! He is not a nice guy. He needs to take ownership for what he did. He is also an abuser I will never forget jow he talked to his daughter.
He's not an honest man nor a person of integrity, therefore Alec Baldwin performed in the interview exactly as one would expect.
Stephanopolous' wife, Ali Wentworth, who is an author, actress and producer, was in the feature "It's Complicated" with Alec Baldwin.
He’s a bad guy.
U could park a bus inside his eye bags. Everyone failed on this movie set, courts have to figure this out & everyone should shut up!
Lol...I was thinking the same about his eye bags! Shocked to hear he felt no guilt about her death...what a jerk!!!
Why was the gun pointing at this poor woman?
I liken this to wreck less driving that resulted in a death. He was negligent in operating the weapon and someone died.
I didn't know at the time that I'd married a sociopath/narcissist. And Alec is one. Lying piece of....
Billions to one, and YET it came true. His failed duty was to check the gun as he was warned by The One he refuses to believe, that his gun was loaded. The murderer used him as a tool, yes, he didn't load it. But he COULD have listened and saved her life. Her blood he will repay in part. His acting with the public paying to see it - is over.
I think he saw Kyle Rittenhouse and was impressed at how he got up there and told his story and got public opinion on his side. And Alec thought, that's the ticket. If that little kid can do it, I the great actor, certainly can! And he got his talking points in order, the main one being that it's not the actors responsibility, but the armorer's . Problem is, Alec messed around with the gun WITHOUT THE ARMORER'S BEING THERE. In doing so, he usurped the armorer's job and took it upon himself, BUT THEN DIDNT DO IT. Alec did not check the gun.
A 45 gun Will fly away from your hand if the thing shot and you don't have the finger in the triger
The side blast from between the wheel and the frame will injure the shooter.
Just keep in mind he is a very good actor for years. Just remember the way he acted with his own daughter don’t you remember the answering machine the massage he left his ex-wife .I don’t believe he’s innocent he has anger issues and we all know it there were something going on with the person he killed he was in an accident
2 minutes in and you get a like and thank you for validating Kyle Rittenhouse's genuine emotional breakdown on the stand.

I literally LMAO every time I see the part where AB cries.
He's the smartest person in the room, just ask him.
No Alec, the actor's responsibility was, is and will always be to follow ALL safety protocols. That you feel yourself above that is another matter.
Your videos are very well put together and I love how kind and professional, yet down to earth you are! Just lovely!
I found it interesting he cried after saying how ADMIRED she was, not after saying how LOVED she was.
I always take a step back when I see an actor cry during a real situation. Some actors are so good it's hard to tell when the tears are sincere.
WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT BALDWIN YOU SOUND LIKE A FAN ,YOU KNOW HE DID SHOOT HER RIGHT. WHY DID HE EVEN DO AN ENTERVIEW. HE IS SO CREEPY AND WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?
One's an "actor"...the other is not. One was arrogant and stupid and the other was scared for his life.
I don't feel original story was true. The DA gets the case next year. The civil lawsuit paints a different story. Two people aren't talking means big problem(Joel Souza Helana Hutchins) 2 people traumatized named in civil case. 1 spider bite employee. Union crew walks off set. Gun tampered with according to the Sheriff. Scene did not call for a gun? Alec expected to dry fire a gun which could be damaged? Way too many questions. Was Alec angry? Why the need to explain if it was an accident? A much better approach would be some form of of foundation for the family and support from maybe Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton or Obama somebody. I think he went William Blake on us personally.
Man made a living making fun of a sitting Pres. for 4 yrs and stunk at that
4:01 is when the acting drama started at full swing . How ass.
What do you think? Was this a huge mistake due to arrogance, or an appropriate reaction to public scrutiny?
BIG Mistake !
Pop Psych...You already KNOW the answer. As does he, he was told all this would be the result of ignoring more sound advice. His self-destruction is a flaming certainty now. And I have no joy in that...
Arrogance and ignorance.
Watch him describe how she told him to position the gun. He makes a finger gun using his thumb for the hammer. As he mimics pulling the hammer back his trigger finger, simulating the barrel, curls as he pulls the hammer back.
Arrogance, "A list" actors are not supposed to be told how to act by a cinematographer.
The Don Jr. shirt was genius...Alec is a hypocrite....always virtue signaled about gun violence and social issues on twitter...and then he uses a gun and kills a woman...and its all the guns fault...not his....someone else...but NOT him...that shirt was awesome.😆
How does one fire a .45 and not know it? I've fired one like it was my .22 but the recoil ripped it out of my hand. I find it hard to believe Alec was wonder why those two fell down after the weapon fired. Inside that building fireing a .45, na bet the shot hurt everyone's ears.
I would feel so horrible if I had done something like that. I couldn't get away from the guilt, even if it was an accidental. My heart goes out to this woman's family.
God, people are gullible. He is an actor!!!!
Never let a child hold a gun. And I love the T- shirt.
I agree with what you said.
Just a little detail about the gun, if he pressed and held the trigger, then pulls the hammer the whole way down, then releases that hammer, the gun will fire, he doesn't even need to release the trigger.
Also, even if he "didn't know that he pulled the trigger", legally it doesn't really matter, he can still be a criminal, it doesn't become an accident just because he didn't know. It's just a different kind of crime, like negligent manslaughter or reckless manslaughter.
First time viewer. Thanks for this analysis. Cheers, from Adelaide, South Australia
I'm not a psychologist but even I know that Baldwin displays all the signs and symptoms needed to be labeled as having narcissist personality disorder. Narcissism is coming out his ears.
... And the background music they're playing doesn't help with the authenticity of this interview. It plays like a made for TV movie.
Full blown narcissist. Juicy Smollett cried on his ABC interview also, so actors can bring up tears on demand
He had the right to remain silent, just not the ability.
Totally agree with everything you just said there. This is my first time watching one of your videos. I suspect I will be a repeat viewer. Thank you.
He only cries genuinely when he later talks about his love of the movies, etc.
Well it most likely was a accident! People pay for accidents! He is no different then the average person! It’s really sad and should have never happened! Guns don’t kill ! People do! It’s the person behind it! Whether accidental or deliberately! It was negligent on all of the people involved and that most definitely involves him! So he should just admit to his fault for not checking snd taking someone else’s word for it!
We are all responsible for our own action, if there’s any justice he’ll being do movies from jail
4:00 Compare Baldwin's tears in the interview to Baldwin's tears when acting in movies or showing how he acts in videos about acting. Same thing. He was acting. Kyle Rittenhouse was genuine.
They're good quality shirts. Plus they get a lot of laughs out of people. You should buy one too.
He was so vile to the Trumps and to us deplorables that voted for Trump. You reap what you sow.
hi dr . i would like to D.A to open an investigation and D.A needs to obtain all mobile , desktop ,laptop devices and extract all Base data and review it.I honestly believe there was a relationship or just did not want to work with the director. something just does not look right.
Not a mistake....for a prosecutor or civil plaintiff attorney. Hope he can do more of these prior to litigation.
