Each one who handles the gun is responsible to check it! Don't take chances on another having your back! This is on Baldwin 100%
I agree, but I am curious about why a live round was placed in the gun to begin with. If the person who was responsible for handling the weapons didn't know the difference between live round or dummy,, that's really scary. I am assuming that will come out sooner or later.
No one depends on a object! The minute Alec held that gun , bingo he was responsible!!! The jury will see it as common sense conclusion! Alec killed! Never point any gun at anyone! This guy needs a gun pointed at him with ? Loaded.
@@lindak7499 During down time (same day) some of the crew did target shooting (with live rounds) seems the set gun was also used for target shooting. The amour only on her 2nd movie as head amour should have been the one to check & maintain all guns and hand them personally to the actors which didnt happen in this case for unknown reason. With the other on set incidents and crew walking off, Alex would have known some recklessness or very least less than professional standards were taking place on set so i dont agree with the TV lawyers Mr Baldwin will be found responsible civilly. Couple more arguments, why wasnt the rubber gun used when not filming, why someone as experienced as Alex didnt take 5seconds and make sure the gun was cleared and why did he point it directly at another person. Not intentional actions, but reckless and unprofessional resulting in someones death.
your 100% right on that lavonne tollison
Absolutely...These people are clueless for "so Called " legal experts. Baldwin violated the first law of FIREARM SAFETY. I don't care if the lord himself hands you a gun, YOU CHECK IT PERIOD. No And , if or Buts!. He fired the gun without checking it..He's responsible for negligent homicide! BTW a true "Prop Gun " has a special cylinder that you cannot put live rounds into. Only blanks will fit! There goes that argument.
Him refusing 5 minutes of training is unbelievable. Never liked the guy, don't think it was intentional but negligible x 5.
He needs to pay
Training is 5 minutes?
Yes, they tell you "this is a gun, it can kill you."
Never point it at someone even if you know it's not loaded. Always assume it's loaded.
Point it toward the ground, hold it with your non-donimant hand, open the chamber or drop clip to check the bullets. I'm assuming fake bullets look different than real bullets.
Who would put a live round into a movie set gun?
How can someone be held as negligible whe: 1. The gun was a movie prop
2. He was "given" the gun that allegedly tested "safe".
3. The gun was "fired" at the instruction of t he Director.
If anyone is libel for this tragedy, it's the studio...not Alec Baldwin. Why blame the guy who was simply taking directions.
ALWAYS know if your weapon is loaded and NEVER point a gun at anyone. TRUTH
Exactly, never aim a weapon at anyone even though it's fake or not. Baldwin should know better.
Yes, Alec Baldwin was negligent in not checking the gun he was just handed was loaded with live rounds, would of taken seconds to check, negligent if I ever seen it!
But this wasn't meant to be a real weapon? Live ammo isn't meant to be anywhere near a movie set, they are meant to be loaded with fakes so it would still feel loaded so technically one would be able to shot it like a real gun without the threat of death.
@@nadia-tp1xv It was Baldwins job to know everything going on at the movie set. It was his responsibility to know if the weapon was loaded with blanks or bullets. Just the responsibility of touching a gun. Then to point, cock the hammer and release. He is guilty.
Incorrect, always treat a gun as if it is loaded. Only point a gun at something/someone in defense and are willing to end.
He was responsible for the entire set.. how could he not check.. this is madness. We should talk about how Alec said the gun "just went off" and claims to have not pulled the trigger
"iT jUsT wEnT oFf"
All three of them were responsible. Can't believe they were so ignorant and neglectful!
He wasn't responsible to to check the weapon. There is a person on set who's job it was to do this it's called a master of arms. There were major staffing issues while shooting this movie and one was several people were on strike and walked off the set.
@@tmp1111 WRONG. Firearms safety rules, when handed a gun, check it yourself before using it. By law, the person that has possession of a firearm, is responsible for what happens when it's fired.
And how it went off when he released the hammer, while pointing the loaded firearm at people. Everyone knows to treat all firearms as if they're loaded. Why he didn't safely check it for rounds of any kind will always baffle me and disappoint me.
There were already two misfirings of guns before this happened. Many walked off the set and quit that morning due to safety concerns with no resolve.
I think the people that "walked off set" left behind the live bullets as sabotage because they were upset.
@@gorillaspawn6071 Oh that's great I am so happy to hear how did the live bullets get on set and in the gun?
Ty!
@@JBfromFL guess they need to go back to the prop guy... It's crazy you know! Remember Brandon Lee? Never understood that one really!
@@kareymiddleton9389 YESS!! I nvr understood that either! If live rounds are NOT supposed to be on set whatsoever, how the hell does it happen? WHO puts them there, and WHY? Smdh it's insane and scary
Boy it's really frightening here to see these lawyers you have on here, say Alec should not be held criminally responsible! Now we know why the system is extremely flawed. God help us all.
Sick of politicians and Actors getting away with serious crimes. They all live behind gates and walls.
We’re all angry about the two tier justice system. I fear for our countries future looks dire.
@@KarlMarxFanClub it’s always been this way, we’re just becoming more aware of it now :/
Agree. I’m thinking this case may be different. I sure hope so!!
Freemasons....
Above the law. Spying on a presidential candidate or a sitting president and nothing happens. SPYING! Connected and protected
I hope he is held accountable.
Accountable for what, how do you know someone didn’t set it up for someone else. What about Brandon lee same thing.
Me too.
@@RandySeverino was you there oh nooooo maybe your the bad one
@@m.a2905 From my gun handling training I know....When someone hands you a gun....first thing you do is check for ammunition. Next rule...you never point in the direction of anyone......MUCHLESS pull the trigger. Mr. Balwin has been on sets with guns before. He has said he had gun handling training. He should know these 2 rules. BTW - there is a difference in appearance of dummy rounds and a real bullet. IMO - NO excuse for pointing a gun towards someone and pulling the trigger even if known to be empty. NO EXCUSE! In the situation as explained, as a person who has worked on TV "sets" I cannot see any reason for having a loaded gun EVEN with blanks when it wasn't a rehearsal muchless a movie "take". BTW - I don't own a gun.....but take gun handling training from certified instructors. My last session was August 2021 with a Gun Handling Trainer form the NRA. Holding a weapon in your hand Is a huge responsibility because you can kill someone by not following gun handling rules. .
@@kfoster3616 Lol are you telling me what you do and how you handle it on a set?
That gun was suppose to be checked twice before him and again by him. He’s at fault especially refusing to draw it right
Agree 100 % 1st law of firearm safety!
It takes a special kind of narcissistic evil to shoot and kill a woman, blame her, then complain that you are the real victim when the family of the deceased sues you. Absolutely gobsmacking.
Agree 100%
In relation to…?
What are you talking about??
@@taylorellison2719 Who are you talking to? Not sure, but if me, I am talking about the actor who killed his director, then blamed her for directing the scene, then accused the deceased’s family of being after his money, not justice for the wrongful death of a wife and mother, and asserting that HE is the REAL victim in all this. If you are asking what the heck the comment “In relation to?” above yours meant, then I have zero idea what they are talking about.
@@MyGrace2You , I hope Alec has to pay up, but the victim does have some responsibility for her death. If she had directed Alec to point the gun at someone else, then surely she would also be getting sued.
None of this BS matters. He approved budget cuts. I would like to know who approved a shot from the camera, with the hammer being pulled back for effect, with a camera and two people directly looking down the barrel of a gun without proper rigging to keep the cameraperson safe (90⁰ angle from the camera) and bullet proof glass to properly make the shoot.
I hold him accountable because this shot without the proper safety rigging should *never* have been approved!
*Even blanks can be dangerous (Brandon Lee) you don't point even a gun loaded with blanks at a person.*
*Period!*
It was Hutchins herself who 'approved' the angle of the shot. It was what she became known for, that type of work to make it seem like the viewer was in the position of the camera, to make it be realistic.
Why pull the trigger for any reason unless filming is going on.
@@askwhy2030 Exactly. Anyone with common sense and firearms familiarity would know... keep your damned trigger finger OFF the trigger unless you intend to use it. You can hold the firearm to test the angle, without putting your finger on the trigger pull, putting it alongside the trigger.
Agree. My son works as a grip on the reboot of Walker - Texas Ranger and said the same thing. Many armorers insist on using glass to deflect not only bullets, but powder, sound, and muzzle concussion. If she was setting up the shot, directing him what to do with the gun, there's probably a chain of accountability among the AD, armorer, Hutchins, Baldwin. But the buck stops with Baldwin. What I'm surprised at is that there is not video of this. There are cameras all over movie sets.
No, the person responsible for testing and then giving the approval that the gun was "safe" should be the culpable party here...she was negligent and should be the target of a criminal investigation, not Mr. Baldwin
Sounds like negligent homicide to me. Drunk drivers didn't mean to kill either but go to jail if they do
A drunk driver is responsible for any action since he drives a car while drunk. How could you not get so basic rules of responsibility?
But drunk drivers don't always go to jail...
I live in Tennessee... Was always taught even unloaded you never point a gun regardless!
I live in New Zealand and gun ownership is nowhere near as prevalent as it is in the States, but basic gun safety like, as you say, never pointing a gun at someone whether it's loaded or not is just common sense and something we know too.
Even in a movie? Wasn’t that what he thought he was doing? Acting in a movie?? I don’t get it
@@manda_musings8459 If it was an entirely fake prop gun, sure maybe aim it wherever you want. With a Real firearm however, you never, ever, Ever aim it at someone. Loaded, unloaded, checked 100 times or not. You Don’t do it. And this is why.
Exactly. Basic.
Thank u..I was in the army and we r taught u always treat gun as if it is loaded and once put jn ur hands ot is ur responsibility.
Omg is he really going to blame the woman he shot and killed??😱 that’s egregious!
Yup, it was staged because she knew too much, and wanted to start a Union. Also she knew about the 💩 Hilaria Baldwin acted out. In order to retain fame and intrigue Hilary Leslie Hayward Thomas from Boston 🇺🇸 Claimed she was 🇪🇸 Spanish , her who life is a lie. Exposed in 2020 furious Hilaria asked “Where is the smoking gun “. Determined to find the leaker that she made into a simile a Smoking Gun. Alec Baldwins father was a Gun Expert and taught him you never ever Aim a gun at anybody 😜 . They tried to run off to Spain 🇪🇸 & Mallorca and had to have their Passports taken from them. Alecs Attorney advised FFS stop talking to the tv 📺 use the 5th. But he would not shut the F up and even had verbal diohrea on George Popodopolous show to win people over and feel sorry for him and his family. In Epstein’s black book. Also he had practically the next Ranch to his pals Ranch in New Mexico Jeffrey Epstein. Nobody knew what really went on at those Ranches near the Mexico 🇲🇽 Border. #45 was determined to clean the Swamp and CST, so #45 was the Arch enemy of Alec Baldwin = SNL 😜 ! There’s lots more not yet exposed .
Yes he will cause he's a narcissistic sociopath who has no empathy for anyone. I knew he'd end up blaming her for telling him where to point the gun. He's a sick sob.
Right??!! Alec is a monster.. Ask Kim Basinger..
@@minx2528 oh I love Minx! I used to call my daughter that 😃👍
@@belinhel Thank You!! It's been my nickname since childhood!! 😊😉
Criminal or not, Alec Baldwin seems to be very narcissistic. If that's the case, then he'll never take any responsibility, whatsoever, for his actions anyway.
I agree and I think you will find that all the Baldwin brothers are like that; meaning not accepting responsibility
His attitude towards his situation is very similar to trump, ironically.
@@KarlMarxFanClub Trump didn't kill anyone. Lying and killing are 2 different things. You are putting politics into this situation! Never the Same. Biden Lies also.
@@lindasegraves4670 You don’t know what Trump did or didn’t do. Wealthy people usually get away with crimes.
They can hide in plain sight well if the can pass off as an actor.
It is simply a survival method, and learned how to be done while knowing it isn’t comparable to a normal reaction. Like racism they “learn” the way to adapt and survive in the open by hiding behind the mask they create to survive in an environment of convenience. Why not be an actor and be good at the acting all day.
Serial killers
Those with active narcissistic behaviors.
Yes, many other labels identify this behavior / adaptation.
Tell me he's not going to get away with this. Condolences to her family and friends. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think he'll be held responsible in civil court. I don't think he'll be charged with killing her. I hope like hell I'm wrong because i DO believe he's responsible. I just think he'll get away with it. He gets a free pass for everything
He'll get away with it. Cold blooded, premeditated murder.
@@Stefanie2530 I agree. They've had plenty of time to charge Alec Baldwin, criminally, even as an aggravated misdemeanor. The good news is that if he is not charged now, and a new prosecutor is elected in that county and chooses to charge him later, he could be. It is likely that this office would like to pass it off to a grand jury, so they're not responsible for a true bill...or no bill of indictment. They're playing to the court of public opinion and it could be that an election for this office is in November of this year. I've not researched it, but have lived through a similar situation. 24 years ago today, my bother was murdered and we dealt with the same thing. It's difficult to win a civil case prior to a criminal conviction and I'm sure Baldwin's legal team is doing everything in their power to ensure the criminal charges are not soon. Civil has a statute of limitations, normally it's two years in most states. They may have even donated or promised donations to the party supporting the prosecutor's election campaign and that of the Sheriff's.
@@phlodel He refused to allow Lawmakers to execute their Search Warrant .
Hater
Regardless of how much these people want to spin this, someone (at least one) has to be held responsible. Somewhere in between a live round being put in that gun and the firing of that gun, at least one felony was committed.
It was the incompetent woman who was responsible because she couldn't get one job right!
@@NicNakBraun that’s what I think too. Alec Baldwins job was to be an actor. He trusted others to do their jobs. I know he’s an ass but I don’t think he intended for the gun to actually have bullets!
@@manda_musings8459 you are very right. He reached out to the family right after and he was devastated about it. He cried real tears. He looked so worn down after. Most us will never know how it feels to accidentally end someone's life.😢
@@manda_musings8459 negligence still does not make him a non criminal
@@danielmann5427 I don't think he's a criminal, but I believe he's culpable. He was holding the weapon. He should have checked it. They weren't filming; They were comparing camera angles.
The gun was in his hand, he's responsible.
Initially I was really sympathetic but he's handled this horribly. It's like he's more interested in avoiding responsibility than the victims and their families
What? Within an hour I'd the accident, Alec called, and later met with, her husband. Her family was foremost on his mind and they have a ton of phone calls and video of them together to prove it.
@@taffycat93 that's... That's the bare minimum he could've done.
He's been doing interviews about what happened, blaming everything and anything but himself.
I don't doubt he never intended for this tragedy to happen, but if he had been responsible with *what he knew* was a weapon, this wouldn't have happened.
Several people dropped the ball here and it's unfortunate he was the one with the gun in that moment, but this does not absolve him.
Same but I wonder if he is even avoiding anything at this point, he is just so full of himself. Yes it was extremely traumatizing for all involved but it seems like it was traumatizing for that moment and then he moved on. It's as if he is deprived of true emotions.
@@angstbringer2992 just wait until the facts come out. All of them.
@@taffycat93 how much?
Sorry, I worked in a GLP laboratory, we were drilled to NEVER, EVER accept someone else's claim that a machine was clean or calibrated or that a liquid was just a liquid without any initials and dates on it. The onus lied solely on the next user, to make sure everything was up to standard or if not, to discard it or clean it etc, because people lie or are lazy etc. You must be a total moron to use a gun, pointing it at another person without making sure [for your own safety and others] that it is safe to use and fire it. This is manslaughter at best. AB doesn't normally strike me like someone who would just believe an 'underling', why in this very dangerous case???
Absolutely brilliant analogy dingo !
No, its not manslaughter. You working in a machine shop where people engage in double checking equipment is tantamount to comparing apples to cantaloupes! Alec Baldwin's job was to remember his lines and follow the directions of the Director and Cinematographer...which is what he did!
@@phyllisfoster6589 No. In the State of New Mexico, all safety precautions must be taken in order to escape criminality. Baldwin violated the official movie set standard as well. Aiming at human beings is an additional act that violates safety. The movie industry eliminated risk decades ago. Baldwin committed a crime.
Maybe he's a moron? He's responsible. You always check any firearm first thing, even if the lord himself hands it to you. Negligent homicide at the very least.
The most important fact in this…he refused gun training. Negligence, at the least.
You aren't required to have gun training to be an actor.
@@TheOneanjelYou are according to industry rules and safety standards on that film set.
@@TheOneanjel Go back and listen to the animated version part in this video... industry standards require you have weapons training, prior to taking possession of ANY firearm, loaded or not. Alec Baldwin refused that training, and as such, being ignorant of how to properly treat a firearm, which is... you treat ANY firearm as it's loaded, whether or not it really is. He didn't do that, at all. He showed his ignorance, and by comments that he made previously on social media and in public about a police officer in Los Angeles, blaming him for a police shooting that turned out to be justified, the officer was found not guilty, calling the officer a 'killer', and then he, himself, kills someone using a firearm... just goes to show that Alec Baldwin is a complete idiot and hypocrite. Alec Baldwin is responsible. Period. End of discussion.
@@TheOneanjel You absolutely are!
The most overlooked lesson is don't be such an as$hole that not only do you upset others around you but inspire someone to take advantage of your arrogance. He was set up. All he had to do to avoid a tragedy was follow the industry standard safety rules. But true to his nature, he didn't.
Consider, out there walking around in this world? Is a person that got away with the perfect murder. The person that loaded that gun with live ammunition. And, that person feels vindicated with actions that caused another person's death. The victim was a mother. Her child will spend likely a life marred with grief by the loss of his mother. Cruelty, evil, exists in this world. THAT person? Is enjoying every moment of this, relishing the loss of life and suffering.
Personally, I hope he serves some serious time.
He needs to be in PRISON FOR WHAT he did. Why did he aim t her in the first place! He is no better than my one else in this society 👍Sick of him pretending that he is ,,, "innocent" my god!
Agree 100%
He is innocent until "proven" guilty. We live in America not the Soviet Union just in case you forgot!
I agree too, but why is he not in prison yet ?
@@phyllisfoster6589 Exactly. But it’s not exactly hard to “prove” he pointed a weapon at a person and pulled the trigger. I don’t think he intended to kill her, but that still means he has a case of manslaughter to answer.
@@2facesofevil835 She asked him to point it at her at least very close to her if not her. You can't arrest him unless you have a solid case and I assume that is what they are doing now.
The explanation in the re-creation of the responsibilities of a person being handed a gun are the same instructions I was given at the Izaak Walton gun safety course when I was 12 in the early 1970’s before I could hunt with my dad. It was not required but my dad went through the course with me and my brother making sure I did everything right. I had a father that cared about the importance of this lesson. You never accept a gun without checking if it’s loaded and you never point a gun at anyone loaded or not. You always treat it as if it is loaded with live rounds that could kill. It was my first thought when I heard about this situation. It’s never an accidental shooting if the gun is always checked between each and every exchange and never pointed at anyone. In my opinion as harsh as it is, Mr. Baldwin is a fault for not doing the first law of gun safety. I still do not know if he ever had any training as a child or later in life. But I do know that there has been training about this officially since the 1970’s covering this very situation.
I would say if I'm with a trusted friend and he checks the gun in front of me I would trust its not loaded. However I still wouldn't point it at anyone that's just a rule you always follow.
@@briang.7206 It was more a matter of getting yourself into the habit of checking. It becomes automatic. If you ever go to a quality gun dealer you will notice that they check each gun before they give it to you. Even if they were the last to handle it. It’s just something people who have been trained do. Like I said I doubt Mr Baldwin was ever trained or he would know to check it himself no matter what anyone tells you. I have refused to hunt with people if I hand them a gun and they don’t immediately check it. It means they don’t know the rules about gun safety. It isn’t even considered rude to re-check what your friend just checked. Safe gun owners respect that in a person.
@@mehameha4453 Even when your with trusted friends those rules should be followed.
You're supposed to treat a gun just like a loaded gun.
Guns don’t “go off”, they have their triggers pulled in a mechanical action that then begins an unavoidable chemical reaction culminated by the firing of a round. Alec Baldwin began that process with his actions and inattentive nature to gun safety. He’s liable, plain and simple.
Social media has shown us all of their faults in almost real time like Smollett.
A loaded weapon feels heavier than an empty weapon, and a six shot pistol is made to see that it’s loaded, you can’t eff this up. He is responsible and AB committed the sacrifice of an innocent and needs be held most accountable.
He’s ultimately responsible no matter who he tries to push fault on. A real man would admit that and not try to blame everyone else but himself.
Under appreciated comment!!!!
I appreciate the comments. 👍👆👍
YES!!!!! He is 100% responsible. He is a POS through and through. So is his wife Hilary.
@@kims364 don’t you mean the bilingual hilaria? 😳🤣
@@annebruecks7381 well u know what they say about opinions….
In early interviews, baldwin originally said he never cocked the gun,, nor even put his finger on the trigger; that it went off on its own. Now he says, he pulled the hammer back only a little and when he released the hammer, it went off striking both people. He was adamant about the first occurrence, now he has changed the story. By the way, pulling the hammer back on the gun will not make the gun shoot, the trigger must be touched for it to go off.
My two cents: baldwin is a very arrogant and self-centered individual who refused to take the required gun safety training. He was reckless in his handling the gun and even in his own original words when he kept sarcastically saying to the director, is this what you want, is this what you want. I think his arrogance got the best of him and he pulled the trigger out of a feeling of aggression. I do not think he believed the gun to be loaded with real ammo, but he should have known better. For him to say he was not responsible for what happened and to not take the consequences of his actions and then..... put the blame on the victims and others, is so wrong! No matter how this all turns out, I really hope people will begin to realize actors are not ones to be admired. Enjoy the movie or tv show they are in but remember they are not gods. baldwin is one I will never watch again. I do not like sleazy people and this is pretty sleazy.
That model pistol will not fire by dropping the hammer you absolutely have to pull the trigger so he has been caught lying multiple times
He always is blaming someone else for everything while publicly demeaning people on Twitter! He’s responsible. He had the gun and he didn’t make sure that it was safe.
There was a person on set whose job was to MAKE SURE the GUN WAS SAFE. I believe its called "master of arms".
But after watching this staged video its ok if its the movie industries to kill someone... "The perfect murder"
@@trapez6271 post mortem flicks sell more tickets. "Giant" and Brandon Lee movies made huge $$$.
@@ohioh111b111y yes BUT as the operator you are responsible for your actions while you are handling it.
@@perijetton9275 why do you think they have someone on SET whose job it is to handle the gun and pass them out? its not alecs fault.
The texts and emails show there were 3 prior incidents of misfires prior to this incident, which is why cast members walked off the set earlier that day. He should have checked the gun.
Were all the misfires with blanks or live ammunition?
Tay Tay
The attorney is saying they put everyone in jeopardy and with two negligent discharges earlier that day, which caused people to walk off the set. I can’t imagine it causing all this if they weren’t live.
He should not have aimed it at anyone!
@@gwynnguiliano8859 something is fishy here and she asked him to point it towards her. We can speculate but none of us no how movie sets work.
Its my understanding that on sets they don't want actors who may not be familiar with guns Checking them that's the job of the armourer. An automatic pistol you have to remove the clip and pull the slide back to eject any rounds that might be in the chamber. With a revolver its much easier as you push open the gate with your thumb and spin the barrel.
I can’t believe these people on the panel. They must be fans of Alex Baldwin. He absolutely should of checked the gun for safety and never pointed the gun at anyone without the safety shield.
That’s not how it works on set tho. The Armorer or the Weapons Master is in charge of all firearms while on set. If you want to change the rules, go ahead and fight for it to be the responsibility of the actor to check the weapon, but you can’t make it retroactive in order to blame Baldwin.
@@WinterWitch01 If you take a minute to look into the Screen Actors Guild Saftey Bulletin for the safe handling of firearms on a film set, you'll see on page 4 paragraph 1 Quote "As an actor you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and the saftey of your fellow cast members. Production management and crew are responsible for creating and maintaining safe conditions, but it is your right and RESPONSIBILITY to double check the setup to insure your own safety."...
Those same guidelines go on in great detail as to the proper procedure for handling weapons on a film set and Alec Baldwin ignored the majority of those guidelines.
BINGO!!! This is PROPAGANDA to contaminate a Jury before trial. 100%!!!
Alex hired a PR FIRM and they set up the interview, several newspaper articles, tiktokers & youtube videos.
@@WinterWitch01 Alex's dad was a Military gun marksman, he has been around guns onset for 35+ years. 3 Assistants have said he doesn't EVER CHECK WEAPONS, he made assistants or co workers do it in the past. EVERY director from his past agrees. George Clooney even said the same.If you watch John Schneider from dukes of hazard he owns the exact gun. It N NOT FIRE without pullin the trigger
Whether he knew it was loaded with live ammo, the fact still remains that for no reason, he aimed at the victim and pulled the trigger. No reason. It was uncalled for in his work for him to aim that gun and pull that trigger at the victim. His animosity and narcissistic rage took over, and he shot at the victim.
Ahh just maybe just maybe he had a reason but not opportunity until that moment!
He's sounding like another Jussie...absolutely unaccountable and totally "innocent" in his own mind.
Jussie orchestrated his own demise. Tell me how Alec orchestrated the death and injuries of another? How’d he plan that? Um, oh. Right. He didn’t.
@@dl7281 he denies any wrongdoing is the point.
How many people have been convicted for killing someone with a gun they thought wasn't loaded maybe thousands
He killed someone. Negligent homicide. Put him in prison.
What happened to the prop folks? It isn’t The actor’s liability!
@@trueblue4069 The person holding the gun and pulling the trigger is responsible for guaranteeing that the weapon is not loaded. He pulled the trigger. He is 100% at fault.
They were using these prop guns for target practice at lunch time. The fact that they have target area and live rounds on movie set says safety protocol wasn't being followed and Baldwin refused to go to safety meetings and he wasn't supposed to point gun at Halana and wasn't supposed to fire gun at this time of filming. This lawyer is a joke !
We share the same hometown. His father, besides being a local high school teacher, was also an Eagle Scout Leader who taught firearm safety...he knew better. Mr. Baldwin would be so ashamed...
Maybe that apple tree was on a hill? Because his son rolled quite a bit. His son would be thought of as an as$hole before being thought of as Eagle Scout.
I'm a 74 yr. old, female. I grew up in West Texas. Growing up, there were multiple guns in the house at all times (some loaded). There was NO gun safe. As kids, we knew guns were dangerous and to never touch them. If we so much as pointed a water gun at anyone, we were lectured on gun safety and punished. "NEVER point ANY kind of gun at anyone". EVER. To point a gun anywhere and fire it, or "pretend to fire it" is just reckless and a proof of no knowledge of firearm safety codes. Why would he point at a director? For fun?
He was there to kill her.
The woman and the two guys need to go back to LAW SCHOOL !!
They need to go to common sense school!! Ohh there parents didn't have any!!!?
What for me is the most important issue is Why and How are ANY Live rounds allowed on ANY set!?
I agree
None of these guests know what their talking about. A blank can kill a person, and has.
Thought I was in the twilight zone for a minute 😅
All these people making no sense to me.
And I loved how he called Alec Alex. They were all defense attorneys… I’m pretty sure this would’ve been different if they were prosecutors.
Same to Brandon Lee Bruce Lee son in 1993.
Weapons training 101- always assume a gun is loaded until you physically check it. Never point a gun at anyone you aren't ready to kill.
How Dare AB, say it's about money
What a insult to the people.
BULLCRAP!!! The bottom line here that no one is talking about is the one holding the gun is suppose to CHECK THE GUN FOR LIVE AMMO!!! IT"S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY< PERIOD!!!!
he needs to be held accountable...he is trying to put the blame on her
No he's not your following the trump followers
@@catslivesmatter1268 what on earth does trump or his supporters have to do with this😂 anyone who handles guns is responsible for what happens when they handle a gun. He was a producer on the movie…he was the boss…this is on him
@@catslivesmatter1268 🐃💩
They all knew people were shooting live rounds before this happened! The gun should have been double checked before it was used in a scene.
Charge him like anyone else would be. Everyone knows you MUST check a firearm before you fire it, and to NEVER point it at anyone unless you intend to shoot!🤬 I don't care who didn't check it before him - he has that responsibility as the person who's holding it (or have someone check it right in front of him if he's too much of an anti-gun person to do it himself). I don't know why this isn't standard procedure everywhere for everyone in the US. Not to mention, Baldwin hired the incompetent idiots (as producer) who were supposed to check it, so he's STILL responsible. Charge him!
Prop guns are different and Baldwin could not have known they weren't using approved props. these were real guns, which aren't typically used on a set. That fault is with the production company.
Did he visually check whether the gun was loaded and the type of ammo that in it. No he did not therefore he is criminally negligent, plain and simple.
I agree
Okay , so I SOULD think since I cross a railroad track 2x’s a day and there is never a train coming, I’m just not going to check today? This is just idiotic thinking.
Why are there industry rules and standards if they don't have to be followed? Are they requirements or "suggestions?"
Industry standards REQUIRED Alec to be trained and qualified in the safe handling of firearms, which he refused to do!! GUILTY 100% he had possession and control.
With or without firearm safety training, everyone knows you never point a gun, real or toy at anyone. Why wasn't the gun double and triple checked?
I'm not believing this panel, good thing none of them are firearms instructor's. smh
These actors need to be held accountable!
Ultimately, when you are holding a firearm YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER IT IS LOADED OR NOT AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT GUN
I feel like if this happened to a regular person they would be in jail and would've been since it happened. I understand it may not have been his job to check the gun but I don't get why he didn't. I wanna know who even bought them and brought them on to the set. Such a sad situation.
EVERY GUN is a LOADED GUN! Treat them as such. That’s how I was raised. Never ever point ANY gun towards someone unless you intend to use it. 🤷🏼♀️
Alex should count his lucky stars because if a regular guy shot someone in the same surcomstances they would be rotting away in jail..maybe that might just be the ticket
It's already been proved by several professional gun owners/manufacturers that it is impossible for that particular weapon to fire without the trigger being pulled. This is manslaughter at best!
Negligent homicide
He's an actor...not the local Sheriff, which is why there was a so-called "expert" on set, who by the way cleared the gun as being safe!!
So hi aliby is a lie?
He pointed and fired it.
These attorneys want to side with the STARS! R u kidding me. Anytime u have a gun in your hand that can shoot real bullets….. u r responsible to make sure there r not real bullets before handling it.
He is done, will forever be remembered for this and nothing else
The fact that AB refused weapons training or cross draw training seems to me would add to the neglect part of being responsible
There was no video footage of that "shot" on the camera? If she was looking at a monitor from a camera wouldn't it be recording?
This was addressed previously in court documents but I cannot recall which ones, my apologies. They were rehearsing at the time and not filming.
@@Stefanie2530 I'm not tech savvy and don't claim to be by any means. I just would thought if a camera is sending live footage to a monitor it'd be stored somewhere but I don't know how cameras on movie sets work.
@@Stefanie2530 Who knows if actual film was the medium, or it was digital?
So it seems he watched the happenings, was not even the slightest bit concerned, turned around and walked off, only to find she was dead 45 min later.
What is the point of industry standards if not for there being previous similar incidents? He’s surely been trained in firearm safety before, he is an experienced actor who, especially as producer, knows the protocols, so therefore he was clearly negligent. Other parties are definitely negligent as well and should be held accountable, not to mention the guilt of the person who actually put a live round in the weapon, however the buck stopped with Baldwin.
She doesn't see negligence? What the hell do you call him turning down gun training? That my dear is negligence! I hope he gets what's coming to him.
He needs to be prosecuted. The first thing you learn in training for handling a weapon. Once you take possession of that weapon you are responsible. You never take the word of someone else that has had that weapon in their hands before you. I'm sure he will be prosecuted. I am sure others will be indicted also and found guilty. The cop with the tazzer was a mistake also, she got convicted. This is the same only worse. This goof ball wasn't under any pressure.
Well said
I agree with you on the responsibility. But I’m becoming doubtful he will be charged, much less found guilty.
I agree, but the Governor gives over-the-top preferential treatment to the film industry. So I have my doubts about charges ever being filed.
The gun didn't "go off". It was fired by Alex Baldwin, albeit not on purpose.
Alec Baldwin is responsible, it was not intentional but he's a producer and not his first rodeo making a movie
Wrong
Let's say no matter where you are or what your doing the #1 thing is you always assume a weapon is loaded
Oh my gosh! Vinny, I can see your frustration with this. I’m with you!
She is so full of it . ALWAYS treat a weapon like it was loaded .
Why would he refuse? Wasn’t the camera recording?
You don’t point a gun on a movie set.
@@lealovesthesea then why was it even there?? Also how are guns in movies?? They’re not CGI are they?
@@lealovesthesea Real guns and you do point them, just not at a person. She likely did direct him to point it at her as she looked through the camera. She's know for this realistic POV camera angle. This was not a take so the camera wasn't rolling.
Cuts had happened like not having full staffing that day, typical set protections were not being used that are industry standards, industry safety training and policies were ignored...and sadly, BOTH the shooter and the victim were aware of these. Who is more liable: the boss or the employee?
Consider someone set him up knowing all this and basically got away with killing another human being by loading a live round of ammunition causing loss of life and suffering. The woman was a mother and her child will suffer life long consequences for having lost his mother. The person that loaded that gun is relishing every second of the destruction caused. Pure evil.
This was addressed in court documents but I cannot recall whose. You can try to Google it. They were rehearsing so the incident was not filmed
An immediate Involuntary manslaughter charge for the average American. Regardless of "industry standards" you must personally clear the firearm yourself. Regardless of weather you cleared the firearm or not, you must assume the firearm is loaded at all times and never point it at anything you don't intend to kill. If any average joe was in his shoes, they would be doing at least 12 to 18 months in prison. Armorer should face a civil suit for mix up with ammo.
The standard on a movie set is for the armorer and the actor to both examine the gun together to make sure it is not live. Baldwin has been on many sets and knows this. He purposely took the gun from someone besides the armorer, did not physically check the gun and killed the cinematographer. One would wonder if the scene called for Baldwin to hold the gun to his head and fire would he have followed protocol or would he have blown his brains out. He is a criminal now, maybe just laziness or in a rush. He did not follow protocol.
Probably would have been better if he had put it to his head... just sayin
I think the most important element of this entire thing is going to rest on one simple fact: Why wasn't the armorer allowed on set to do her job. Who gave that order. If Alec had anything to do with that then he assumes 100% of any liability of anything that goes sideways with the guns. I'm waiting on that one very specific bit of evidence--why had the authority to keep her out of the set and why was she not on set.
Very good observation and question ⁉️
He and the person who handed him the gun have equal criminal liability.
Due to COVID staffing was cut back. The Master of Arms was not on set that day. I'm with you on considering that the person loading the gun that provided the catalyst into the perfect storm is relishing every second of the suffering caused and is walking scott-free to do this again. The victim was a mother. Her child will grow up marred by the early death of his mother and the person loading that bullet is in rapture over this pain.
@@mtaylor7307 You think someone deliberately put a live bullet in the gun then?
He shot her...she died. What is so difficult? Somehow he must be held accountable.
If Baldwin is innocent because he didn’t know it was a loaded gun. Then let Kim Potter out of jail.
He needs to be charged. Why would he even point a fake gun at anyone. Blank gun's are still dangerous.
Three lawyers full of crap. Lawyers and actors.. Both bottom feeders.
"He told me it was cold"......That will never work!
As an attorney I can’t believe this panel. If there had been live amno on the set then right there he has a big problem. Then the fact they didn’t follow protocol another problem. Combine the fact that there been live ammo on the set with somebody handing him a gun and every person who’s ever taken a gun class knows that you check the gun no matter what. No matter what. And then you go to the standard of care on a movie set. There’s so many ways to get Alec Baldwin for criminal negligence and 100% for the wrongful death case. I understand if he had followed basic and I mean basic safety protocol that poor woman would be alive today. By one simple thing. I could go on and on
100% 🎯
Plus there had already been miss firings, and people had walked off set, because safety protocols weren't followed.
Who else is attorneys from LA going to side with ? They are wanting stars to hire them !!!!!
Couldn’t they watch the reels and see exactly what Baldwin said/did? I mean, I assume they were already recording.
That’s what I was thinking too. Plus the other man who got injured that was standing right behind her. His testimony as a key witness is extremely essential.
Nope not recording. So.
Each one who handles the gun is responsible to check it! Don't take chances on another having your back! This is on Baldwin 100%. no joke
When I was taught to fire a weapon, the first act you take is to check to see if the weapon is loaded. Period…end of conversation. It is a standard practice.
I do believe that Alex Baldwin was extremely neglectful of being prepared and taking the precautions before handling that gun they are required to take a class before handling any weapons so he failed to do so so I think he should be criminally charged because he made it decision not to do what they are required to do as actors
I know not to hire if ever need a lawyer.🙄
He's responsible and I can't help but feel like he knew what he was doing
What’s the motivation?
Let’s not forget the fact that someone put a live round in that gun!
Your point?
@@deecee901 I hope they’re investigating that too 🙂
Let's not forget the fact that there are 2 main rules of gun safety. A. ALWAYS check the gun (no matter who put it in your hand or whether or not it's supposed to be loaded ) check it to make sure it is NOT loaded if it's not supposed to be. B.NEVER point a gun at anyone unless it's in self defense. Period bottom line. Only stupid fools neglect to do either. And look what happens when they fail to practicee basic gun safety. Gun safety is not rocket science.
Kim Potter didn't know she had a firearm in her hands when she shot Duante Wright. But... she was held criminally responsible, convicted and sentenced to prison.
She’s a trained cop, with protocols too.
Why even have live rounds on a movie 🎬 set in the first place? 😒
They don't. It was a setup to create a perfect storm. The person that loaded with a live round is out there relishing the suffering including the loss of a child...his mother. That person is enjoying knowing a child will suffer the pain and loss for a lifetime. Sure, Baldwin is an a$shole but there is more evil in this world than him...the sick person that gleefully loaded the gun.
@@mtaylor7307 They were shooting live rounds in a target practice area set up on site, during off time. So yes there were live rounds on set.
@@beccagee5905 what?? How freaking irresponsible was that!!
People do get charged for accidental shootings. Where are they from?
Man these are some clowns!!!! these characters on here saying there is NO one at fault!!! they r insane an ignorant to even speak on it when someone lost there life all over ALEC refusing to check his gun properly !! GOD IS TRUE JUDGE an i believe justice will be served either now or on other side either way someone MUST b held accountable
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Keep talking Vinnie love LISTENING to you and your views opinion! And Facts you bring
We have recently convicted two people that I know of, for accidents. The truck driver in CO and the police officer who pulled her gun instead of her taser. If they are guilty and deserve jail time, so does Baldwin. I just don’t see any difference between the three cases.
The difference lies in the states where these occurred and who did the killing. Alec Baldwin is a wealthy, narcissistic celebrity. New Mexico is a poor state. You do the math!
Anyone holding a gun is responsible for what happens as they hold the gun. PERIOD!
alec just keeps telling a lie,, i say bs my 5 year old knows to never point a gun not even a toy one to acted as it is real. but we make sure to teach him that...
He knew exactly what he was was doing! I call BS on his saying in his interview that he didn't even realize she was dead for 45 minutes!
“What words?” He pointed a gun at a person, pulled the trigger, the weapon discharged and resulted in a death. Baldwin, alone, was responsible for those actions.
First lesson in the Army, BEFORE, you handle any weapon is “Don’t point a weapon at anyone UNLESS YOU INTENDED TO KILL THEM”. To ignore this simple rule, is, at best negligence.
In training we used weapons with BFAs (Blank Firing Adapters), that CANNOT fire live ammunition, only blank ammunition (it just makes a bang). The problem is given the right conditions that blank could be lethal (obstruction in the barrel, mud…).
