Actor Alec Baldwin Charged Again In Fatal Shooting of ‘Rust’ Cinematographer

1. The responsibility is no real gun in the movie set!!!! Stop blaming one person! You do not need special precution, no real guns, but fake!

2. I am a fan of Alec Baldwin but he is arrogant and was reckless if he would have taken the handling of a weapon more seriously this could have been avoided. I get time is money but you cant rush the armor and if you are going to then have 10 of the same guns loaded and checked and rechecked. Ive seen interviews and the whole bunch were just careless

3. FBI proved it beyond any doubt. The guns trigger did not pull itself. Therefore whoever's hand was on the gun, and finger on the trigger, was in fact the shooter.

4. That's a narcissist for you!!!! It couldn't have happened to a better person!!!!

5. Who was in charge, who was the producer, who hired the underqualified armorer and prop directors? Who brought the live rounds onto the set? Who pointed a gun directly at a person and who pulled the trigger?

6. Why bring chargers before your ready to charge in the first place?

7. Are there really not times in movies in which you have to point the gun and someone? How do you film hostages situations in which someone is holding a gun to someone's head?

8. He could be framed.

9. Wow, I was going back and forth on who to believe. Both sides had good arguments but the guy in the glasses really articulated his argument of why Baldwin has culpability and why it raised to that level of criminal negligence. If I was part of the jury and this was the trial, I would have found Baldwin guilty.

10. Baldwin is a 🤡 Deserves all the heat. He cut corners that led to this horrible incident. He needs to be behind bars not for punishment but to send a message that cutting corners with like hiring incompetent armors to save a few bucks is not the way to and you will go to prison if you do. Hollywood gets away with a lot of things. Let's see if they get away with murder…again.

11. For once a Baldwin needs to be held accountable.

12. I feel like their trying to make an example out of an innocent man in order to force set reforms

13. As the armorer here pointed out, Baldwin was warning others to move out of the gun's pointed direction, because he was shooting, but contrary to the armorer's argument, doesn't that show he was acting responsibly? Baldwin claims he didn't pull the trigger, which I actually believe now because of how he was conscious about it during the previous day of filming. Now, the question is; does he have to check the gun even if he was not supposed to shoot?

14. Now there after fake guns are they going back to Bruce Lee thats just crazy they will make him a mom in michigan our government waste I could see a osha fine but to think he did that is goofy

15. Something is wrong with that picture.

16. Did the gun have more than one bullet in it ? – if so were the other bullets live too ?

17. Mean too or not let regular MSN do same thing regular dude been in jail soon as it happend8×10 cell should be his new address

18. Comrad probly get away with it anyone else been in jail soon as it happened

19. Just want to ask those Big Shot investigators, "Who put a Live Round into that Gun"? Baldwin is the easy target. I do not like his political stance but he trusted his crew and they let him down. So hey cops, Someone loaded that cylinder. Don't you know how to question suspects? Hows that crime lab workin out on this case?

20. This is why I won't allow live firearms on my set. I don't even want the chance. I like my firearms, but not on a set!

21. I would love to hear what the armorer has to say about all this.

22. Hes anti gun

23. Alex does know the difference from a hammer and a trigger. He probably doesn't have any formal training in firearm safety. Libs kill

24. I VE NEVER SEEN ONE OUNCE OF REGRET OR PITY OR TEARS FROM THIS GUY..I NEVER LIKED HIM..LIKE ANY ONE WOULD FEEL SORRY FOR HIM HAVING TO SELL ONE OF HIS ESTATES…?// HE NEEDS TO BE IN PRISON

25. Responsibility….. Maybe if he's responsible all actors will check themselves to keep anyone from harm

26. Something strange about this I don't trust Baldwin I think he's sneaky and creepy ask his ex-wife Kim Basinger

27. When they brought him out on SNL a couple of weeks ago for a Liberal mercy appearance he look like he aged 20 years and shrunk 6 inches.

28. Its unclear why Baldwin even had the weapon during a break and why it was not properly stored while filming was not going on. But one Glaring fact (and ) rule should apply in this case : NEVER leave a LOADED GUN……..around Alec Baldwin.

29. Baldwin's main problem is that he wasn't just a paid actor on the set.

    He was also an Executive Producer, so he was one of the people responsible for ensuring a safe work environment.

    His defence is

    The Armorer (that I hired) had a history of negligence ( that I should have fired her for) and she handed me a loaded weapon ( that I didn't check ) I then pointed that gun directly at someone ( Breaking my own safety rules) and shot her.

    Now you see why he denies pulling the trigger , it's his only defense.

    Being one of the people legally responsible for enforcing safe working conditions is going to make things tough for his defense team , if the previous prosecutor hadn't screwed up he'd most likely already be convicted.

30. and bill clinton didn't inhale!
    and monica lewinsky didn't swallow!

31. He is lucky to be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

    As one of the producers, he has a high level of accountability.

    Live ammo on a set?
    Armorers have first supervision.
    I heard guns and ammo were hanging out on a table that anyone could access it.

    Then you have what is regulated on set or the "norm". Any deviation is easy to prove negligence, but does it reach gross negligence?

    So involuntary manslaughter is the lowest charge.

    And he should not be the only person facing charges.

32. Sets arent using real ammo. So who brought live rounds?!! Hanna’s job was to secure the prop

33. ❤

34. This is on the armorer, their job is to make sure there is no ammo anywhere near the set and that all guns used are visually cleared before filming.

35. Baldwin has killed more people than 99.99999% of nra members lol…idk why his lawyers let him do those interviews…now they have him in a barrel

36. Courious. Why did the prop gun have a fireing pin?

37. Why do they keep going after Alex Baldwin? Did he come out as a republican or something? If anyone is at fault is the prop guy who left a loaded gun on scene.

38. Vince McMahon is going also……….Trumper finally getting his!!!
    Remember the Owen Hart tragedy just like the Rust movie set event..

39. But who cocked the gun

40. So gun went off by itself no way someone lying

41. It is refreshing to hear someone say "Its irrelevant" regarding live ammo on a movie set. The armorer is right as it makes no difference if the set is ankle high in live ammo; everyone handlng a gun needs to verify that their gun is safe. Then, treat it as if it's loaded. That means never shoot an unchecked gun at the cinematographer, or anyone, during a rehearsal.

42. All he had to do was say what really happened, and accept the mistake. The lying is what will do him in.

43. Never heard of anyone getting out of shooting someone, by saying the gun went off without pulling the trigger.
