Alec Baldwin debacle

[Phu Cat]

He’ll listen to his counsel and insurance company and settle..



Probably for an unspecified amount.

Wonder why we haven't heard any more about this??? The rich always are able to sweep things like this under the carpet and get away with a slap on the wrist. More evidence of a two-tiered justice system!

Thanks for the update, Rider. Amazing it's taken this long to make a decision. If that had been your or me, we'd have been charged long ago.

Looks like the loudmouth Baldwin is going to trial, my guess is the prosecutors will use his own words against him. Remember the interview with George Stephanopoulos when he said he did NOT pull the trigger? HMMMMMMM

when he said he did NOT pull the trigger?

​He can say he didn't pull the trigger all he wants, but I'll bet the prosecutor will test the guns trigger pull and blow Baldwin's statement WAY out of the water.

Sounds reasonable ‘ But if you have a been on any jury trials, you never know what the jury’s going to say especially if you get people that don’t know squat about guns, and that’s what the defense is going to try to stack a jury with…Just for reference,. Most nimrods don’t know what the difference between semi automatic and full automatic is..

Of course he didn't pull the trigger! The character he was playing did. It wasn't really him.

And that's the way it is in lala land of Hollyweird.

Yup, he either pulled the trigger after cocking the hammer or the hammer slipped out from under his thumb as he was pulling it back and it fell onto a loaded chamber. Those are the only way a Pietta replica of a Colts Single Action Army revolver would have fired. Both were under his control.

Among other things, basic gun safety instruction is to treat every gun as loaded (never rely on anyone else's word that the weapon is loaded).

I wonder if the safety briefings conducted on the Rust movie set included such instructions. Moreover, I wonder how many times Alec Baldwin was so instructed during his long acting history. If the prosecution has the resources to check Baldwin's prior history to see how many times he was repeatedly told the same thing, that would go a long way toward proving Alec's culpability in the fatal shooting.

First I'm willing to bet he doesn't the difference between a gun and a can opener..

And second the gun was suppose to be loaded with only 'Blanks'...And being a nimrod he figured blanks are harmless (Within a few feet they can be Dangerous]...So he pulled the trigger as a joke..

I remember an actor who, many years ago, blew his brains out with a blank by firing it as a joke..... Disrespect for ANY gun will result in bad stuff.....

Yup...that actor was Jon-Erik Hexum that starred on a show called Voyagers.

He was a good guy too.

That's why starter pistols have the barrel blocked with a blocking ramp just in front of the cylinder pointed up to let the charge exit up.....

All the blank cartridges I've seen (and I've surely not seen them all) look a LOT different than live rounds. How could this mistake have been made, other than negligence on Baldwin's part?

When loaded in the cylinder they will look just like a live round…If you pull them out then you can tell them from live rounds..They will have a red cardboard wad or they will be crimped…Also to the Nimrod a wadcutter will look like a blank…
