he might as well try it...biden and the dems have been getting away with all kinds of huge obvious lies to the american people
|
|
|
It’s a shame what Baldwin turned into..guy gave one of the best scenes in cinematic history..
PUT THAT COFFE DOWN
|
|
|
Lies for sure
So far Baldwin has killed more people than Omicron has.
|
|
|
^^thars a good one.
True story
|
|
|
Now, don’t go off half-cocked!
|
|

I didn't have to see video on this to know he's lying. Bit thanks any way.
Where did his Twitter account go ?
|
|
|

The guy is shameless and crass. He shot an innocent person to death (accidentally) but instead of just privately cooperating with the investigation, he’s tweets publicly that he’s been cleared of criminal charges by authorities (the police /DA said that’s false), he’s giving public interviews, and he’s liking tweets that puts blame on armorer. Just as bad and tasteless is his wife posting public Twitter/Instagram pics of family vacations and having a good time.
I’m sure the victim’s husband just loves seeing the guy who killed his wife enjoying life or blaming others as though nothing has happened only a few weeks or months after his wife’s shooting.
Like this case is going to be decided in the court of public opinion? Just tasteless and totally transparent botched PR move. Alec and his wife should stfu on social media until trial is over or just post work related movie promoting stuff that’s he’s currently working on.

I hope his career is done and over. A true sack of shit IMHO

There was an article by Reload, a pro Second Amendment publication , that studied the issue of the gun going off accidentally. They concluded that the particular gun used in the killing can go off without the trigger being pulled. This is one of the reasons he will not be charged I suspect. (I canNot access the article right now as Reload articles are for members only. I read it in full on the Daiky Wire a while back near the time of the shooting )

Maybe dont get your news from youtube

The gun cannot go off unless the trigger is pulled...or in the alternative, the hammer is pulled back to a point just before it locks...it then is released by the thumb, and drops the hammer onto the casing with enough force to fire the bullet. Same as pulling the trigger!
Baldwin is a piece of shit. But I don't think he intended to fire a live round, didn't put the live round into he chamber, was led to believe the weapon was safe, and didn't intend to harm anyone.

In a public interview, Alec stated that he never pulled the trigger but he did pull the hammer back on the gun. I remembered it because I thought it odd (and for a gun novice like me) and it sounded like he was trying to split hairs or get off on some technicality or nuance?
I also thought why the heck does he need to share this w the public now?
It sounded like politicians saying they’ve never smoked x but only puffed it; or, that they’ve never had sexual relations w someone (thinking in their own minds sex only means intercourse but not bj’s).
I don’t know what Baldwin was trying to achieve w revealing that technically that he pulled the hammer but not the trigger? IMHO I was turned off by it. If I were the husband hearing this, I’d be like wtf are you going on national TV now to tell everyone this? Does it matter if the bullet fired via the trigger strike mechanically or the hammer strike manually?

Copy and paste from Reload
In his first major interview since being involved in a fatal shooting on the set of his latest movie, Alec Baldwin made a surprising new claim about his actions that day.
Baldwin said the gun went off without him ever actually pulling its trigger.
“Well, the trigger wasn’t pulled,” he told ABC News. “I didn’t pull the trigger.”
At first glance, this sounds far-fetched. It is exceedingly rare for a gun to fire without the trigger being depressed. Modern firearms, even replicas of antique guns, have safeties specifically designed to prevent them from firing without the trigger being pulled. It only really happens when the gun’s firing mechanism is damaged, or there is a significant design flaw.
That’s why most gun owners and firearms safety trainers are highly skeptical of any claim a gun just “went off” absent user error.
In Baldwin’s case, though, the claim is at least somewhat more believable. That’s because the gun involved is more prone to firing without the trigger being pulled. And, even though it’s a modern replica of an antique design, it’s possible it did not include modern safety devices.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza identified the gun used in the shooting as a modern Pietta replica of a single-action army revolver. Those guns can be bought either with a transfer bar that makes it impossible for the firing pin to strike the primer unless the trigger is pulled or without one. Often, enthusiasts and collectors prefer the models without modern safety devices because it’s more authentic and perfectly safe when handled properly.
A single-action revolver usually requires the hammer to be manually cocked, and the trigger be pulled for a shot to be fired. That’s why it’s referred to as a single-action: because the trigger performs just one action. It drops the hammer. In a double-action revolver, on the other hand, the trigger can both cock and release the hammer.
However, a single-action revolver with the old-style firing mechanism can fire without either the hammer being cocked or the trigger being pulled. When the hammer is down on that kind of revolver, the firing pin protrudes and, if a live round is loaded in the chamber underneath, a sharp enough jolt can cause the pin to strike the round’s primer with enough force to set it off.
This is why the “cowboy load” was developed. When carrying an old-style single-action revolver, it’s best practice to leave the chamber underneath the hammer unloaded. That way, a jolt can’t unintentionally set off a round.
None of that means Baldwin’s story is entirely accurate. It’s not clear if drawing a gun from a holster in this state would be enough to set it off. It still seems more plausible Baldwin pulled the trigger. But, the gun firing without the trigger being pulled is not as far-fetched as it sounds at first.
Police should be able to determine what kind of firing mechanism the gun in question has and whether it could have fired in the way Baldwin described. However, even if the gun did go off without the trigger being pulled, it doesn’t negate the other negligence that contributed to the deadly shooting.
There is a reason the basic gun safety rules are redundant. You’re never supposed to put your finger on the trigger until you’re ready to fire. You’re never supposed to assume a gun is unloaded. You’re never supposed to point a gun at anything you don’t want to shoot.
Had they all been followed, it is unlikely this shooting would have turned deadly. But, as the numerous prior negligent discharges on set and Baldwin’s other comments reveal, basic safety rules were not followed.
“I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them,” Baldwin said.
That sentence went on six words too long. Even on a movie set, you shouldn’t be pointing a gun at anyone. Most sets have protocols in place to avoid scenarios like that. Most also have protocols to ensure a gun is never loaded with any round it isn’t supposed to be. And most would never allow live ammunition on set while filming.
There was a string of negligent acts that led to the death of a colleague, wife, and mother. Even if Baldwin never pulled the trigger, a cascade of avoidable mistakes was necessary for this tragedy to unfold. There remains plenty of blame to go around.

UPDATE 12-2-2021 9:33 PM: Alec Baldwin offered further details on how the deadly shooting occurred in the full ABC News interview. Baldwin claims he acted at the direction of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he accidentally shot and killed her.
“I cock the gun. I go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?’” Baldwin told ABC. “And then I let go of the hammer of the gun, and the gun goes off. I let go of the hammer of the gun, the gun goes off.”
This version of events is even more difficult to square with the idea that Baldwin never pulled the trigger.
When the hammer is pulled back on a single-action revolver a series of sears are engaged which prevent it from moving back towards the chamber without the trigger being depressed. There are scenarios where the gun might be able to fire after the hammer is pulled back but without the trigger being pulled. However, they’re even more unlikely than a discharge with the hammer all the way down.
The first is that Baldwin managed to pull the hammer back far enough that releasing created a strong enough strike against the primer to set it off, but not far enough to engage the sear at quarter or half cock. That is, frankly, implausible.
The next possibility is a physical defect with the gun. The sears could have been so worn out they don’t catch the hammer as Baldwin manipulates it. But, that’s not likely either since it would be clear to anyone who handled the gun that it was broken.
What seems far more likely is Baldwin kept the trigger depressed as he pulled the hammer back. Then, when he released the hammer, the trigger kept the sears out of the way, and the gun fired. Perhaps Baldwin is making some kind of semantic argument about pulling a trigger rather than keeping it depressed while cocking the hammer, but that’s a distinction without a difference.
The most likely scenario remains that Baldwin had his finger on the trigger when the gun fired. His full comments make that even more likely.
Hang him? It would be just..

The gun used in the fatal shooting on the "Rust" movie set could not have been fired without pulling the trigger, according to an FBI forensic report obtained Friday by ABC News.
Actor Alec Baldwin shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western, which he was producing and starring in, last year. The actor believed he was handling a "cold gun" -- one without live ammunition -- when it went off and a live bullet struck Hutchins, killing her. The film's director, Joel Souza, was also wounded in the shooting.

this thing still going on?
|
|
|
The FBI can be trusted to provide information against a well known liberal like Alec Baldwin but not against a well known conservative like Trump?
|
|
|
good enough for me...put the orange jumpsuit on em
|
|
|
What's in your Wallet ?
|
|
|
Why was there read ammo in the gun?
|
|
|
^ Why was there real ammo even on a movie set?
|
|
|
The staff was shooting live ammo off set. Who ever loaded the firearm was a rookie.
Blank ammo does not look like real ammo, but a blank at close range can be deadly.
|
|

very sad event...hope the family gets 25m plus, hope he is out of pocket for big portion of it
|
|
|
I hope they hang him.
|
|

Hang the stupid 20-something year old cunt who was in charge of the firearms. Notice she hasn't made a public statement since the shooting? It was her frickin' job.
|
|
|
Fuck that
Give her a handle and let her clean this place up
Somebody needs to take out the garbage
|
|
|
No
It is the responsibility of the one holding the firearm.
Only a libturd would believe it was someone else's responsibility.
The driver is the responsible party.

It's incredible how often short bus shows his stupidity.

Shut the fuck up, both of youse! (As Archie Bunker would say)
Alec Baldwin was a producer & an actor. He was acting in his capacity as an actor when the gun went off when doing camera tests. He, like everyone on the set, had to believe everyone else was doing their jobs. That cunt wasn't. She's the one who should be put in jail.
This is not about liberal or conservative issues. Only the latter (& retards; oh, sorry, that's redundant!) would try to make it a political issue.

"Notice she hasn't made a public statement since the shooting?"
Seems she is one of the more intelligent ones knowing there is still an active criminal investigation.

That's the kind of thing posted by a sleazy Prog who doesn't want to take responsibility for their actions.
AB has been around guns for 40 years, at least....and he was actor/producer/etc.
The very most basic lesson when handling a weapon is to check if it's loaded.........first first fucking first thing you do.......always, no questions asked, no excuses given, no bullshit Prog reasoning requested. Just do it and STFU.
Did armorer have culpability?
Absolutely YES!
Does that absolve AB from his responsibility?
Absolutely NOT!
This is fundamental to all that is sacred.
Now we know that the Koala God is a false god, an idol to be banished from the Church of HX.
Kill the false god!

How dare the retard reject the wisdom of the Koala God! 
Only a stupid Republican (I didn't start the partisan name-calling here) would spout off on matters he knows nothing about. You obviously are not in the business. And like everyone on Fox News & the cult of Trump, you makes up shit out of your ass.

Well libturd here are the facts. Simple firearm rules.
Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
Never point a firearm at anything you do not want to kill.
Baldwin wanted things the production to speed up and he was cutting corners.
The staff had walked off the set because of safety issues.
The amorourer was not on the set when this happened.
Baldwin made the decision to move forward as the film's producer.
He cut corners and the lady died. Does he care? Who knows.
He's been involved with over 20 movies where firearms were present and used he he should know.
Stick up for this worthless piece of shit all you want, he killed someone because he was in a hurry.
That's called man slaughter.

"Only a stupid Republican (I didn't start the partisan name-calling here) would spout off on matters he knows nothing about."
No reason to get nasty just cause you got called a Progressive, damn!
As an INDEPENDENT gun owner for over 50 years, having a CCW, hunting licenses and weaponry at hand.......pretty sure I speak from experience
NEVER handle a firearm without checking for ammo in the chamber and the magazine...........NO MATTER WHAT.
Otherwise, ultimately you are responsible for whatever happens
ESPECIALLY if you point the fucking thing at a human.
FUCK AB!

Man conservatives love celebrities.
Which is why 2 is the past 3 Republican Presidents are TV/movie celebrities.
Nobody cares about the Baldwins
|
|
|
I care about celebrities getting away with murder.
|
|
|
Yes.
|
|
|
I could be wrong. It might make you a sociopath.
|
|

Baldwin get to face a jury for manslaughter.
If convicted can face up to 5 years in prison.
|
|
|
thought it was 18 mo for involuntary manslaughter
but he won't serve a day, even when convicted
|
|
|
The likelihood of a single action revolver failing is pretty slim, but sure, it's possible.
It's also possible for me to win the next billion dollar jackpot.
failure or not, It does not absolve him of punishment - you can be convicted of manslaughter by using all sorts of instruments, a car for instance.
|
|
|
"thought it was 18 mo for involuntary manslaughter
but he won't serve a day, even when convicted"
True, but when a weapon is used the max is 5 years
|
|
|
Think he will get punked in the joint?
|
|
|
I thought I read somewhere that AB was asked to take a gun safety class before shooting that film and he said he didn't need one! If that is found to be true, he is not only going to prison, but most of his assets will fall victim to a civil suit.
|
|
|
He'll be found guilty of his role but will likely get a short sentence in a Club Fed facility and probation. It was logical the family would come after him since he was the one person involved they could go after in a civil suit (i.e., money).
Good actor, liked by many, but always a bit of an egotist.
|
|
|
He'll be butt-sexed by a hairy transgender woman who transitioned at taxpayer expense
As should all Progressives be
|
|
|
^^^ this guy's ultimate fantasy.
|
|
|
Well at least somebody who "identifies" as Donald Trump is convicted and stands to serve time in jail...
|
|
|
"^^^ this guy's ultimate fantasy."
Fucking A right, little bitch buttz
My fantasy is that all Progs are reamed until their organs burst
Then ground into Soylent Green to feed animals
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.............so to speak
AB is going down and getting ass fucked
Buttz is next!
Good times!
