No matter what the person holding the gun is responsible period
I can't imagine pointing a real gun at someone and not checking it out closely. Maybe CGI and fake guns.
This EXTREMELY tragic situation is 100% the fault of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. I am a female former shooting champion (national) and I know my way around lots of guns. I also am a female and I worked at two tv networks (CBS and NBC) in the mid 90s. I was on a LOT of sets and knew a fair amount of armorers in passing. I don't say that to brag but to say that I know what I am talking about. I personally know three (two are still teaching) armorers that I conferred with on this case. ALL of them agreed that Hannah Gutierrez Reed is to blame. HER ONLY JOB was to clean, load (with dummies…of which she is one herself), guard, test, pass to the actors when needed, and LOCK the guns when not in use. This was a western so, many scenes called for a gun and many people interviewed said she was nowhere in sight for a majority of scenes. Instead, she was clicking selfies, trying to get with some crew guys, and focused on wardrobe where she reportedly accepted an additional position (she couldn't do one job so no telling why she got a second position on that set).
Rumor is she brought the ammo to the set to impress a guy she was scamming and she left THREE LOADED GUNS on a cart for the crew to shoot in-between scenes (where over a hundred people passed back and forth throughout the day). Can we say recipe for disaster?!!! This chick should 100% get minimum 25 years (imho) but she will likely only get 1.5 years as is the law for involuntary manslaughter. where the crime occurred. She may not have intended anyone to get hurt or ultimately die but it is truly her fault. I also have to give some blame to Baldwin for cutting corners on this low budget nonsense. He ultimately did not hire this dumb itchb, (likely done by the line producer or someone hired to staff crew for this film) but he trusted morons to do their job and they failed him. I am NOT a fan of Baldwin and actually don't like him at all. He came for gun owners many times and you could say karma came for him but I digress…
Alec was the boss and Alec was the producer. He’s a pile of donkey manure for denying it.
Need to lock him up and boycott all the actors and actresses movies that support him don't let them promote gun violence and escape just as they did promoting tobacco in the movies and on tv. No lawsuit was ever against Hollywood
Negligence is adjoined to the armorer for it was her responsibility to make certain that blanks were placed in the cylinders, 'not live rounds'.
Everyone on the set that day should be charged with involuntary manslaughter because every one of them are adults they all knew to check that gun having something as serious as a gun they should have all shouted let's make sure the gun is empty let's all check that gun again and again let's make sure none of them did and the armor bear she should be charged with murder.
Alec is paying a great price for believing the Armour bearer and not checking the gun himself.
Now baldwin is a murder and a liar!
Hanna Reed, the failed armourer, is going to get it too, deservedly! 🫵🫵🫵
This is just straight Hilaria!!!
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today….
This is justice wheather you like it or not you shouldn't get special treatment cuz your Mr showbiz
He deserves prison
So I'm sorry but reports indicate that 7 crew members walked off the set over angry and hostile circumstances with Alec Baldwin…..mad enough at him to just dip literally right before this all happened ……live rounds were not supposed to be there and nobody can say where the live ammo came from????……my theory is that one of the disgruntled crew members put live ammo in with blanks out of spite before leaving and that's how she got shot ……the cops should be looking into and grilling the crew members that walked off ……that's motive ……..I think one of the disgruntled crew members put live ammo in with blanks ……that's my theory
Nothing will happen to Baldwin. He is a charter member of the liberal elite.
What took so long?
The firearm specialist to make sure that everything is safe and no one can get hurt (is not Alec Baldwin)
Alec Baldwin is not the one they're after, it is the Firearms specialist, when they're making certain screenshots there's no live ammunition ! it's all blanks! when they use live ammunition there's no one on the set that can get shot! The question is did they handing the wrong live ammunition firearm? Or who loaded the live bullet into the firearm?
Go figure.. one of the most outspoken people on taking away gun rights.. and now on trial for shooting somebody. lmfao
Why did he ever point the gun at her to begin with?
So the middle man gets a deal of probation to testify against the others!!! That to me means the evidence alone is sufficient. They needed someone to turn and throw the other 2 under the bus to make their case more credible. This is what I don't trust about our "justice" system. They want to make an example out of someone instead of the laws and regulations on movie sets being changed…. like how about making it illegal to use real guns in the first place!
I think it was totally accidental he doesn’t deserve to go to go jail I’m on your side alec
If he isn't found guilty, I will completely lose faith in our justice system. He did wrong and should be punished.
FINALLY !!! The set was troubled. Everyone said so that was there. I'm glad they did the right thing !!!
What is annoying as heck about the situation is that not one person feels they are to blame yet one person was shot and another is dead! Baldwin is a liar that the gun misfired. Yeah like the gun just happened to miss fire while he was pointing it DIRECTLY at two people. I have no sympathy for him because he's not telling the truth. Clearly Gutierrez Hall has culpability. It blows my mind that live amo was on the set period. So sad for her family as this was so unnecessary.
Halyna's Husband (Matt) wants and deserves justice! Their son (Andros) was only 9 yrs old when Halyna was killed.
Alec gets to go home to his wife and his children get to have their Mother.
Couldn’t have happen to a nicer guy …😂
No way, the armorer is liable!!!
I am surprised Baldwin will actually be charged. I thought the liberals would let him go. Heard many say that he was not at fault. Personally, I can’t imagine pointing a pistol at anyone and pulling the trigger without personally checking the (prop) gun. When it comes down to the facts, anyone else would be in jail already.
Sick man..
he blew out her liver
then enjoyed some fava beans and a nice chianti🍷
we the jury find Alec Baldwin guilty of involuntary manslaughter
He was framed
I just don't understand how the main guilty party isn't just the armory person? What am I not understanding? It's awful all the way around, but how is it not just the person that got live rounds into the set and into the gun?
What about the prop master?
I want them to get the jury to be guys from other countries or something, then they can be unbiased in not having watched all his movies in their childhood
I'm pretty sure Alec Baldwin straight up murdered that chick. They had a history the media doesn't talk about.
if they manage to get a conviction he won't do much time, if any.
what a moron, serves him right to get charged lol
Do people like the DA have to take responsibility for anything, like over stepping? How about our supreme court is there any accountability
Had he received NRA standardized training, this wouldn't have happened. How do you take a weapon and not check it.
The fake trump is going to prison while the real trump walks free. Lmfao.
