Alec Balwin may be in a pickle??
 
3 Attachment(s)
There was a very unfortunate firearms incident on the movie RUST set. One of the biggest Hollywood anti 2nd Amendment activists, Alex Baldwin was the person pulling the trigger. One person died and another wounded.

🙏Prayers to the family of Mrs. Halyna Hutchins

Seems the day prior to the incident, there were union labor troubles and there may be some big fallout..

Firearms discharge: unintentional vs negligent vs revenge??

There will be questions to be answered if Kalifornacate doesn't bury it for the good of the cause??


UPDATE: as I was typing this post FoxNews came out with an article..

Alec Baldwin's fatal prop gun shooting: Experts weigh in on how accident happened
The actor accidentally shot and killed 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza
"The person responsible for loading and ensuring that the firearm is ready for the scene is called an armorer [or weapons master], and you're supposed to have an armorer and an assistant armorer. Then there are several steps that you're supposed to go through to ensure that a weapon is loaded correctly with the correct type of blanks," Corrie explained. "Because there's more than one type of blank, there's lower power and then mid-power and then high-power blanks, and they create different visual effects."

"Before the actor is even given the weapon, it's supposed to go through several stages of safety before it's handed to the actor. And the actor has to entrust that the armorer and everyone else involved have done their job correctly before handing the weapon to the actor," he continued.

Armorer is a fairly new position in the history of film production, going back only to the 1980s. Before that, the prop master handled everything. Recently, it’s become more common to enlist specialists.

Couple years ago he said this in reference to a Newport, California police officer who used “justified” deadly force to stop an assault on the officer.

“Wonder what it must feel like to unintentionally kill (murder) someone?”


Well, now he knows!!!

Only he wasn’t in a life or death struggle.

Hollywood actors that make fortunes utilizing “guns” for profit should stick to advocating for “World Peace” through non-violent means and personal responsibility. Surrounding yourself and family with armed security and then telling regular folks to give up their “responsible use” of firearms is the epitome of arrogance, privilege and hypocrisy!

I hope he eats a bullet with the shame he brought upon himself!

He - and people like him - sincerely disgusts the little bit of humanity I still have in me.

Baldwin was also the producer and trigger puller. Both liable for manslaughter IAW New Mexico statues.

Quite so. Jurisdiction where your feet are planted, not where you wish you were, and not Hollywood or your family's hideout now that you've put them in a paparazzi hurricane.

The movie is set in the old West, 1880's. So, that means he was probably using a Colt revolver. He shot two people. Unless there was a live round and the two people were one directly in front of the other, he had to have cocked the gun twice and pulled the trigger twice. it doesn't sound like an accident at this point. I will wait for further info to come to a conclusion but for now it looks like he shot two people, intentionally...

The round passed through the first person and struck the second. Both were standing at the camera filming Baldwin as he fired. It's a common shot - that dramatic effect of a gun being pointed at the audience. In movies with bigger budgets, the camera filming such a shot is remotely controlled and no one is near it. I don't know who, in their right mind, would stand in the path of a weapon being fired.

Liberals - right mind, Hollywood elite know it alls!

Come on, Man!


The Armor on a periodic western movie is “scared shitless to load and maintain the weapons” due to inexperience! What could go wrong?




You are correct about one shot being fired through and through. And apparently every safety procedure developed since Brandon Lee’s death was thrown out the window and even by the assistant director Dave Halls (who also worked as assistant director of The Crow: Salvation, the sequel to Brandon Lee’s first movie in which he died of… an “accidental live discharge of a prop gun. Go figure!)

Rule number 2, Alec, “Never point a weapon at someone or something you are not willing to kill or destroy!”

Here is his chance to use all that influence he has.

10,000 people sign petition to ban guns from sets: Director and friend of cinematographer killed by Baldwin asks him to use his influence to make Hollywood change.

Condolences to the family of Mrs. Hutchins.
Apparently, das war alles upgefucked.

Somewhat new to biz armorer, none of the normal protocol of multiple checks before a shot, union crew (a bunch of 'em) had written resignations & walked off the set less than a day before over safety & Covid protocol violations (a friend in law enforcement says they call this "a clue"), and then...

Quote:

Moments before the fatal shooting, Assistant Director Dave Halls grabbed a prop gun off the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the application [for the warrant].

"Cold gun," Halls yelled.

For some time the non-principles union workers on the set complained about unsafe conditions, lack of pay, and poor working conditions.
The set was cleared of all UNION labor the morning of the shooting.
The new armor age 24 is not experienced.

Uber Liberal Baldwin will catch Shiite from the union-loving Kali film industry Wokes for using scab labor..

Still piecing this story together, but bits are painting Mr Balswin in a bad light.
As a principal & producer in the film and the shooter, liability will fall on his person,,

Makes me happy :munchin
