POS Alec Baldwin Says Hutchins Is To Blame For Her Own Death! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77637082 United States 03/12/2022 09:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This guy is despicable and should be run out of society: Quoting: WaitTressSandwhich Alec Baldwin filed legal papers Friday denying any responsibility for shooting dead Halyna Hutchins — even blaming the late cinematographer for giving him the directions that led to the deadly accident. The 63-year-old actor insisted that every single mistake leading to the Oct. 21 shooting on the New Mexico set of “Rust” was “performed by someone else.” “This is a rare instance when the system broke down, and someone should be held legally culpable for the tragic consequences,” the star’s lawyer, Luke Nikas, wrote in an arbitration filing Friday shared by Deadline. “That person is not Alec Baldwin,” said the filing, adding that he is just “an actor.” Less than 50% [link to nypost.com (secure)] Baldwin is a world class prick. He’s really trying to squirm out of this one |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81921048 It was the armorer's fault and only hers. She was hired and paid to do one thing, ensure firearm safety. Period. End of story. Watch and learn, lmao it was not an inert weapon or a movie prop,it is a firearm that was suppose to be loaded with blanks...and any person handling such is responsible. agree that will go after thee armorer as a scapegoat though Real weapons that the armorer, and only her, is delegated with ensuring their safe use, ie no live ammo. Actors have no expectation or obligation to do that on a movie set. Watch and learn and any idiot can see if it was ammo or blanks, visible cylinder end ...sheesh 48Panhead |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81275064 United States 03/12/2022 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am not a fan of Alec Baldwin but he was not responsible Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81275064 for the death of Halyna Hutchins! That company hired an Armorer and that person should have been doing her job! Her father was an Armorer and she should have known better than to allow a loaded gun on that set! Stop placing the blame on Alex Baldwin just because you don't care for him! Was there a legal contract written up that in the event of a death due to malfunctions of equipment on the set, that the producers will not be held libel? Baldwin was a producer. Alec Baldwin would not have deliberately shot that lady! The Armorer was hired to prevent this type tragedy but failed to do her job! You just are allowing your hatred of Baldwin to form your stupid opinions! So, you are putting the WHOLE blame on ONE little armorer, while the fat cat producers get off free without taking further precautions? Uh, yeah, riiight. The truth hurts doesn't it? Alec was not responsible for that bullet being in the gun and it has already been established that the gun was used for target practice on the set. Whoever was responsible for the guns on that set screwed up! I don't even like Baldwin but I don't think he is responsible for the death of that poor girl. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81005041 United States 03/12/2022 11:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate Alec Baldwin just as much as the next guy but the only person responsible for her death is the one who gave him a real gun with real bullets. You’re an actor on a movie set. You would never assume the prop you are given is real. Or deadly. Not your job to even check it out. In a war movie when the actor throws a grenade should he be worried it might explode. The one in charge of the guns on set is guilty of manslaughter or worse. Quoting: JustinCastro Wrong. Look up New Mexico law. It clearly states anyone taking physical possession of a handgun must verify that it is loaded or not. It was Baldwin’s responsibility. He was, according to witnesses, agitated and was waving the gun around. Nowhere in the script was he to point the gun at their direction and pull the trigger. At minimum, he’s guilty of manslaughter. The DA is a coward for not charging him, as any ordinary citizen would be jail by now awaiting trial. Baldwin can be sued as a financier, producer, and shooter. He’s screwed, hence, the reason he is spouting off that the gun went off on its own (impossible); it was their fault for being in front of him; and it was her fault. Baldwin represents a true democrat, it’s always someone else’s fault. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81005041 United States 03/12/2022 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One more issue. As executive producer, he is responsible to make sure his employees are doing their jobs correctly. Baldwin was told gun safety was an issue multiple times prior to the shooting occurring. He had union members quit over safety and two previous live ammo discharges. This is a slam dunk case, and I can only guess the DA is dragging his feet because the state doesn’t want to lose future movie shoots (pun). |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82419335 Australia 03/12/2022 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | alex baldwin was boss of the movie. he was in charge of everything. he wasn't just some actor getting paid $100 per day to turn up and do what he was told. he was the boss of the whole thing. he was responsible for the safety of the workers he hired. so he should of done something when he heard the pistol firing bullets at beer cans, and "pulled it". if actors don't want to take responsibility to train in safe firearm handling and handle firearms safely, they should bot be allowed to handle firearms. they should use computer graphics to add the guns in post-production. "The prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set had been used that morning by crew members to shoot cans for fun, a report said Tuesday. Just hours before the fatal accident, a group of crew members had taken the firearm to go “plinking,” a hobby in which people shoot at beer cans with live ammunition, amid production of the Alec Baldwin flick “Rust” in Santa Fe, an insider told the Wrap. Production sources had previously revealed that the gun had been used for off-the-clock target practice — which could explain how a live round ended up in its chamber, TMZ reported."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80710591 United States 03/12/2022 01:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mr. Baldwin seems like a real jerk. When will cancel culture come for him? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80794569 They won't. He's one of them He built his later career on making fun of a sitting POTUS. Yup, heck of a career choice - not. Half the country automatically hates him for that, another part hates him for pointing a loaded gun at someone and shooting and then playing ignorant and innocent, lots of women hate him for the way he has treated his wives and daughter. Essentially, what good is he? He's been a useful tool for some off the libs because he's been willing to play their game, but I don't think even they like that scumbag. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80057794 United States 03/14/2022 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's negligent homicide at the very least. Baldwin is responsible. It was his production set. He was the one who pulled the trigger. Negligent homicide Negligent homicide is a criminal charge brought against a person who, through criminal negligence, allows another person to die. Examples include the crash of Aeroperu Flight 603 near Lima, Peru. The accident was caused by a piece of duct tape that was left over the static ports after cleaning the aircraft, which led to the crash. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] In the case of the armorer, she was supposed to ensure all weapons are handled safely while on set. That is part of the job. However, ANYONE who handles a firearm is responsible to check to see if it's loaded when handling it. It's one of the most important rules of gun safety. In every instance of firearms handling the presumption is that it is loaded until you verify for yourself that it isn't. ALWAYS ASSUME A FIREARM IS LOADED AND IF HANDLING IT, DO A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BREACH. So they are both guilty of negligence. Both in my opinion should be charged in her death. |
