Alec Baldwin Charged in “prop gun” shooting (Merged Threads)

"during a rehearsal Baldwin leveled the Colt, which he believed had blanks per protocol, in the direction of the camera and the weapon went off. A live round killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza."

Gun should have been empty .. Alex's fault .. should have cleared it ..

 

[masterswimmer]

What should be happening is, Alec should have been arrested and charged with assault. Why assault you ask? Because he SHOULD have checked his 'prop' gun to see what was loaded in the magazine. When he rightly determined, under his own actions, that there was a live round in the mag or chamber, he should have gone over to the armorer and beat the living shit out of him/her/it.

Funny how 'the weapon went off'. I don't think we can blame him, he obviously didn't pull the trigger. He should sue Colt...

Before anyone gets upset, that was sarcasm.

We're black belt level VII experts at sarcasm.

Saw a preview of the interview with midget George Stufflndicksnmouth.
Alex is saying he never pulled the trigger !
It's the guns fault.

Of course it is. Guns do that all the time.

Sarcasm? More like a premonition.

I can't imagine his lawyer is pleased about that....

The revolver was a single action. It has to be cocked before the trigger can be used. So who cocked the trigger?

Weren't some older SAs prone to accidental discharge if there was no transfer and/or safety bar and hammer got bumped or thumb slipped while cocking it back? Not saying this was the case here but believe certain older SAs could potentially fire without actually pulling trigger.

It is modern, with transfer bar.

Yes, grandpa had an original Colt SAA from around the turn of the century that could possibly discharge if you let the hammer slip away from your thumb between the hammer down and half cock positions. It’d be a weak primer strike but could possibly discharge. He drilled me on this as part of “Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times and here’s why”.

Anything made in the past 20 years at least, I highly doubt it.

Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t pull the trigger either!

AB says the shot came from the "grassy knoll".

 

[masterswimmer]

Those damn dangerous guns. This proves how dangerous they are when someone can be killed without even pulling the trigger.

 

[fresch]

It went off and he didn't cock the hammer !
I'm just glad more live ammo wasn't near by, it could have gone off in full semiauto!

 

[Mk44]

Alec- "I didn't pull the trigger"...

Really? that's the best excuse you come up with. Fire your lawyer.

 

[spat]

They should do a saturday live skit where the gun draws itself from the holster before firing too.

If they got Trump to portray Baldwin, I would actually watch that.

 

[holdover]

He actually said this.

 

[Dr. Evil]

He actually said this.

Looks like the preview to a freaking movie. Very slick indeed.

""I think back, and think, what could I have done?""

Oh I dunno,

Check the weapon for bullets?

Not point it at someone?

Not pull the trigger?

Follow gun safety rules?

Take accountability for your your actions?


What a slimy fucking weasel.

 

[ProgSpear]

What was it that actors do again…. ???

 

[holdover]

There had to be a second shooter

On the grassy knoll…

 

[holdover]

I cant believe the magic bullet theory, the bullet passed through Halnya Hutchins made a right angle turn, in mid air then hit the camera man

 

[Bigfoot]

I do not believe Baldwin. But then again, I never believe any gun grabbing leftist commie fuck.




Good thing Baldwin wasn't acting in a WW2 era movie shoot. Using something like a MG 42.

He would have wiped out the whole damn crew!
