  1. Ты крутой и видео твои крутые я подпишусь:)

  2. cocaine? I need to learn about this.

  3. In the article, they say something like "make no mistake, that is a real gun, not a prop." Yes, lots of productions use REAL guns as props. They aren't deactivated, they aren't plugged. Real guns are also props. Live round probably made it into the revolver by mistake because she was shooting live ammo to relieve stress and probably got them mixed up (extreme work stress plus drug and alcohol use will do that to you) the fact NO ONE checked it before the unscheduled shooting (pun intended) of that scene is on her, and other staff. There is a hierarchy of hands and eyes that should pass through before anyone hands that to an actor or actress and declares "cold gun" or otherwise. She loaded it and left it unattended (again stress and inhibited by substances) she didn't check it later, THEY didn't check it later.
    I won't say Baldwin is guilty of straight up murder or conspiracy to commit, but he does share a lot of the blame because of his costcutting (Reed's 2 jobs are why other veteran armorers turned the job down) and he, from what others have said, refused to take the firearms safety classes. He as an actor, and head honcho of the film, should have checked it as well to make sure. But he didn't.
    I blame Reed for her unprofessionalism. Not unprofessionalism as an armorer specifically, but her actions on this particular job that led up to the incident. I blame Baldwin for his costcutting, and negligence of safety. Also not checking the weapon. I blame other staff that should have also checked the weapons.
    I'm not defending any of these people nor placing blame on any one person. They are ALL responsible to some degree no matter what anyone else says.

  4. She did not put blanks in the gun , free her !! 😂😂

  5. If Alec Baldwin was a small no name actor he would be charged, he is getting away with negligent manslaughter because of his celebrity status PERIOD


  6. Never trust an Actor with a Gun
    —- Abraham Lincoln

  7. 3 years what a joke 😂 anyone who’s not in the Hollywood scene would get way more time

  8. The" Baldwin Trump curse " these men getting wittled down to nothing

  9. Can you imagine Baldwin , last year having the best day of his life then this year having the worst days of his life

  10. The shameless thing is Alex and company was trying to finish the movie after Hannah's death.

  11. Wow! So, there’s actually more behind this! 😮

  12. It’s everyone’s fault except Alec Baldwin who pulled the trigger cause he’s a “celebrity”

  13. 3years? Just 3 years come on legal system

  14. She was hired to ensure that these guns were safe, she failed

  15. Why are live rounds even on the set? Why was a live round inserted in the gun? Who did both? Aa much as i dislike Baldwin he is not the answer to the most two important questions.

  16. Poor Alec, i don't think he would do that. There's no benefit to him to do that to anyone.

  17. I remember this. Wow. #johnnyx100 is saying… well ..

  18. girl, it’s just three years in prison. take one for the team 🙄

  19. About bloody time. Her attitude has been vile.

  20. Why would Baldwin be liable? He didn't load the gun with real bullets and probably thought everything was a prop. The prop person should take sole liability.

  21. Yea she should be on trial, not alec

  22. She’s innocent, but her hair is guilty.

    🤷🏼‍♂️

  23. Baldwin pulled the trigger. 🤫

  24. The rest of the country who had the same crimes have already been found guilty and sentenced. This is sickening on how this is handled with kid gloves with all the cooperating witnesses and statements. Todays judicial system…its about who you are.

  25. Was the second amendment the biggest mistake in american history????.

  26. trumps trials should take 2 weeks to dont ya think

  27. She is more guilty than baldwin…

  28. Crazy how this case is still going

  29. someone keeps deleting comments. Doesn't want the truth to be told.
