#AlexBaldwin #Rust #MovieSet
Baldwin is at least criminally negligent as producer.
In terms of gun safety, he didn’t check the chamber, pointed the gun, and cocked the hammer.
That’s already enough.
The old liberal ideology. Why should I be responsible, when I can get someone else to be responsible:(
Alex point it here,as if being an actor would not know how to point a gun having done it i don’t know how many times,tears of a clown.Lyrics.
Keep in mind that this guy is a professional actor when listening to him.
A live rounds mixed in with dummies? There wasn’t supposed to be even a dummy in that gun.
Hollow man
They said that Baldwin was crying but I didn’t see any tears running down his face.
alec is screwed…….lmao
He should be speaking from a jail cell. Any one else would be!
Good work 47, the money has been wired to your account.
I am intrested to see what comes of this because it is actually possible to have an accidental discharge wherein a gun just go’s off there are situations where that’s possible but I’m not sure about with revolvers and the model specifically used though.
I can’t stand Alec. I want him locked up for negligence. The only problem is he is not fully at fault and I hate admitting that. See he should have checked the gun and he did not, so yes he is negligent. Halyna I feel is also negligent in her death because if the gun is going to be pointed at her why did she not have the commonsense to check the gun? I know if I was doing a gun scene which the gun is pointed at me I would want to see the gun before we do the scene. I feel the same way as everyone else in the comments feel, but she should have also checked the gun so she also holds responsibility in her own death. She’s just as dumb as him.
that’s a good point about being the person in the scene who is going to have the gun pointed at yourself. i hadn’t thought about that, but you’re right.
It doesn’t matter if live rounds were mixed in with dummies BECAUSE you don’t point a gun at anything or anyone you don’t intend on hurting. Also, whoever is holding the gun is ultimately responsible for every bullet shot out of it and the resulting consequences. Ignorance and stupidity aren’t valid excuses anymore than aiming a nail gun as someone and firing it would absolve you.
Hold this POC accountable.
To hear him he almost wasn’t there
“What could I have done” check the gun, dummy.
It Divine Appointment. Period! He poke fun at President Elect President Trump. President Trump is not just a President but a Fulfilling Prophecy by Anointed Man of God few years back. The Bible said, ***Don’t Torch My Anointed one*** God despatch Angel in the Spirit Realm with them that ordinary eyes cannot see.
I find it impossible to believe the words and tears of an actor, who is a professional liar by trade.
i like some of the shows and movies I’ve seen him in and before this i didn’t think anything bad about him even though he’s had some bad publicity in the past. to give this interview is in very poor taste and pretty much shows he doesn’t care about the victims. this is simply to defend himself. if he didn’t feel guilty, he’d feel no need to defend himself in this way. and his stories are changing. i’m sure it was not on purpose, but still….it happened. and he has to take his part of the responsibility for it.
The more he speaks the more bizarre is his story.
He says he did not fire the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins, “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never”.
Well, someone caused the situation.
Lying won’t help Baldwin. We will stay focused on the actual facts during his murder investigation. Few are fooled by all the drivel about “prop guns” and an alleged “accident.” Who said it was an accident? How do they know? We hear much conjecture and obfuscation occurring today, seemingly in an effort to coddle this hostile, hot-headed menace of a so-called “entertainer.” Baldwin had the firearm in his possession. He aimed that weapon at the cinematographer and pulled the trigger. He is a murderer. He may or may not have known that his gun was loaded. Perhaps he knew, or maybe he was simply oblivious and negligent. Either way, he is responsible and is a murderer. If he were a toddler, he might be excused while responsibility was shifted onto others. He is not a toddler. Baldwin is a murderer.
How epic would it be if Trump impersonated him for a comedy sketch on this.
Do your research about what kind of firearm he was using it is impossible for the fire him to go off without some form of pressure being applied to the trigger
THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE WHO POINTS A LOADED PISTOL AT ANOTHER PERSON AND PULLS THE HAMMER BACK FOR DISCHARGE, THOUGHT WE POSITIONED JUST RIGHT FOR THE BEST SHOT FOR THE FILM, OF COURSE EVERYONE ON SET SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON GAURD AGAINST THIS TYPE OF UNINTENTIOAL SHOOTING. KNOW SOMEONE IS AT FAULT FOR THIS, CAN’T SAY WHO, ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT’S NOT ME OR MY JOB TO CHECK THE GUN FOR BULLETS OR LIVE AMMO OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE SET OR IN THE MOVIE OR WORKING ON THE FILM.
POS
I wonder if the bottom of the hammer was filed down to clear the locking mechanism there would be nothing to lock as soon as his finger left the hammer the trigger would slam forward not only the where did the live round come from and would loaded it and gave it to him ?
It’s reasons like this, is why they removed the dislike!!
How did this guy become an actor in the first place? 🤦♀️ ge can’t even act to save his life
alec aka ‘one tapper’
Scripted, rehearsed and delivered by a world-caliber actor. To a warm, coddling interviewer who will never ask him a tough question or challenge any of the statements made.
This dude is Hilaria’s.
Ok knock it off Alex. Face some facts, YOU did pull the trigger. Can’t mess with logic.
I see he never stops acting
Is Baldwin for real …I feel for his victims and their families

F.ilm
A.ctors
G.uild
Way to go, Baldwin. Now everyone with a brain wants you in jail.
I can’t believe he hasn’t accidentally shot Hilaria yet.
So we all smelling bs Alec .. 😏
Is SNL going to make a skit with him playing himself?
put that guy in jail or else …
Believe he’s guilty should be locked up
Is he honest or just playing the role?
All of them are idiots. Baldwin is 100% responsible as is everyone that was on that set. You touch it you better check it!!!!!!!!
Lock him up!
HOW COME HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT HILARIOUS’s FAKE SPANISH ACCENT!
involantary homicide due to negligence and recklessness
This interview Written and directed by Alec Baldwin ,starring Alec Baldwin. Music track by John Williams. Produced by Alec Baldwin.
Was it not filmed what happened?
I’m confused. How did the gun get out of the chamber and in her if he did not pull the trigger? That would be impossible.
not true, but it was 100% his fault.
Trump put that live round in that prop gun to get back at Alec for impersonating him too much.
He should be in jail. This racist anti civil rights thug should be put away
You get one cry in life make it count, if this occurs again no tears
The price of blanks has increase drastically because of Covid, unlucky it was a standard cheap shot
The same man who pretended with his Hilaria-ous wife that she was Spanish…..yeah we believe you 🥱
The armoror Hannah’s lawyer’s statements and allegations pretty much point to exactly what happened. The one I find most fascinatingly stupid is this: “Never in a million years did Hannah think that live rounds could have been in the ‘dummy’ Round box”. Well, there you go. Hannah who is the ARMORER is responsible for thinking EXACTLY that this sort of thing might accidentally happen and CHECKING to make sure the rounds are safe. That is her JOB.
I guess she thought her job was to grab bullets from the box and put them in the gun. When live, real bullets were found in that box by the investigators, Hannah’s lawyer team bandies about yet another stupid “sabotage” theory. Somehow this box was delivered to the set and most likely a failure in protocol caused there to be live bullets in the box. That’s why Hannah was there. it was her job to make sure the bullets weren’t real. Armorers aren’t hired to assume everything in the box is fine and stick them into a gun. Good grief.
Alec shot a gun that killed somebody. I doesn’t matter if it were an accident or intentional. He is still either guilty of manslaughter or murder.
That truck driver (Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos) that accidentally killed 4 people, still got sentenced to over 100 years for his accident. Alec Baldwin should not get special treatment in this case.
“goes down. I thought to myself, ‘Did she faint?’” “The notion that there was a live round in that gun did not dawn on me till probably 45 minutes to an hour later.”
-> i find it hard to believe this statement,
first, it is not only her who got hit but also the director hit in the shoulder, did he forgot about him?
second, two people are bleeding. he did not even bother to check on them?
and bill clinton didn’t inhale!
and monica lewinsky didn’t swallow!
His lie is as bad as his Trump impersonation.
I’m assuming Alec Balless had the trigger pulled back before he let the hammer drop. This would allow him to say that he just grabbed the gun but didn’t actually pull the trigger. And of course he could say he wasn’t told it could go off like that.
An actor doing what they do, acting!
To be clear
An actor should never have to worry about a loaded gun
To be clear
Anyone handling a firearm has the responsibility to perform a safety check and handle it in a safe manner
Things get so lax, anything can happen. But if he’s lying, and that seems to be the case here, then there’s a criminal case to pursue, no? Man up, Baldwin. You ran an unsafe set as producer and you’re liable in more ways than one. You pulled the trigger. Get over it, or don’t.
Who thinks he upset the wrong man impersonating Trump a president to boot who had money and reason to get reason to have someone do the deed. Put a smaller calibre round in side of the larger blank round is that possible in reloads.?
I would think the people that handled the gun would have knew the difference between a blank or a real shell, can absolutely tell the difference.
Reminds me of the prince Andrew interview where he says he doesn’t sweat.
Acting lessons didn’t go to waste fully I see
After the event news said that Alec Baldwin told the police he pulled the trigger and shot Halyana thinking it was a cold gun. After he started to deny it, it was stated that the FBI will examine the gun to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
Alec Baldwin is fully at fault for the shooting. The gun is incapable of firing without the trigger being pulled.
HR NEEDS TO B LOCKED UP FOR 10 YEARS
https://youtu.be/rAjI4FYXFWMhttps://youtu.be/gVnmpkpx_6M
Why did he point the prop gun at HER? He will never own his error. That’s the kind of man he is.
The reality is if the person shot was part of the “13%” – Baldwin for sure would have been locked up long time ago. Officer Potter who accidentally shooting someone is no difference with Baldwin accidentally shooting someone. The difference is the color of the victim and the affluence of the one holding the gun. This is part of the the “Green New Deal” – you better have the “greens” in order to be unaffected by the rule of law and rewrite the law as you see fit. Just like the politicians who force others to wear masks while they attend massive gatherings unmasked. OR preaches climate change and fly around with the gas guzzling private jet streams.
You can’t not just blame Alec Baldwin. Yes he was the man who has the gun last but not the gun first. So you can not just blame him.
Yes but if he checked it him self he would have seen the bullet and she wouldn’t be dead
Biggest question, why did he aim at her??? Makes zero sense, who points a gun at a director, who is not even part of the scene
Why does it feel like his biggest concern is his bottom dollar.
All I’m going to say is seeing how Keanu Reeves practices and trains with firearms he’s never going to get a gun in his hand and not check it and he’s never going to point it at somebody and pull the trigger you going to tell me the gun just went off in your hand yeah right.
You people who comment on these posts only ever point your finger in judgment..is your life so empty and boring that you have to make a life for yourselves by being sticky beaks and blabbing garbage all over social media?
Baldwin should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He is only expressing remorse because he thinks his livelihood is under attack. He is remorseless and should be ridiculed out of society.
“I didn’t pull the trigger, trump ran up quickly and pulled the trigger and ran off laughing and by the time we realised what happened he was gone. He’s had it out for me since I did that impression of him. I’m the victim in this…(cue forced crying)”
Now he admits he cocked the hammer making the gun discharge and wants people to believe that’s different than pulling the trigger. Right….
Prop guns are made differently then real firearms there’s no way the ammo was swapped he was set up someone else made the shot not Alec
The gun was in his hand. Why didn’t he check it before acting 😒 he has that responsibility to check a gun given to him.
Alec explains why he didn’t check the gun👇
https://youtu.be/wCdSNb3-eLk
I’ve noticed he always says “they loved her or people loved her and mourn over her very much”
He never says “I loved her and I’ll miss her”
That’s what you say about someone when you don’t really give a sht about them and want to make it look like you care in front of people who actually did care
I feel like this was a mission in a video game like this exact scenario was a mission in some video game and I can’t put my finger on what game it was
lạ ghê :>>
giọng của Đức Phúc nghe ấm và nhẹ nhàng nhưng vẫn đầy trầm tư nội lực!! Like this version!!
hài quá
lol didnt pull the trigger?
It was an imposter Alec Baldwin.
I don’t think this murderer was the real Alec Baldwin actor who appeared in “The Hunt for Red October (1990).”
However, I think he was the the “Saturday Night Live” Alec Baldwin in the last 4 years, though.
It was a different person pretending to be Alec Baldwin.
This shooter is an imposter.
And so where is the real actor Alec Baldwin, then?
I think he died 15 years ago from illegal drugs overdose.
I think the imposter who imposter the actor Alec Baldwin after he had died (15 years ago) is the small time actor Sid Caesar.
Sid Caesar is the actor who played the character of the “Coach Calhoun” in the movie, “Grease (1978,)” co-starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.
Here is a B/W film clip on him at URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03VOs3HRi5M
(I think he is from Belarus, the country next to Ukraine.)
Why isn’t the police interviewing his wife Hilary for fraud saying she is from Spain when she is 0 Spanish.
He’s 64 now but he’ll turn 65 next April 3
Wait why are we blaming him? Did I miss an episode? It was not his fault?
…didn’t the same thing happened on the set of “The Crow”?
Somebody did this on purpose but who?
The fact that people think he did this on purpose is messed up.
Loaded weapons are in now way supposed to be on set especially not make its way to be held by the actor
Loaded guns on set are supposed to be marked locked away even, there is professionals who provided the weapons and ammo who are supposed to be responsible for those things and the fact no one told him or noticed it was a loaded gun shows terrible neglectence for the the care of the and safety of the guns yes he should have checked it himself and handled it better but he wasn’t required to care about those things someone has failed their job not him
The gun was on his hand , he should have looked . He is GUILTY.I never pulled the trigger . HE IS A LIAR , HE DID.
Bwhahah I can’t wait for the SNL skit of Alec behind bars. Hopefully Trump gets the role lololol.
