A love gone wrong
After everything I have read or seen, there is still "NO answer" as to how or why live ammunition was in the pistol during the making of a "movie". Had Alec Baldwin taken a Firearms safety course (I have taken 3 in my lifetime) he would have been able to determine something was wrong and inspected the pistol properly himself due to the additional weight it possessed from the live ammunition. An experienced and trained individual (which should be everyone who holds a gun) will know this fact. Furthermore, part of the training is to ALWAYS assume the firearm you have is loaded and should be treated in such a manner NEVER aiming the weapon at other individuals, even if it is known to be unloaded. The gun should always be facing down to the ground or up towards the sky. Period. You never "play" with a real firearm. That is what is taught at common firearm safety training courses. The fact Mr. Baldwin said "he was relying on the expertise of "others" and did not know the gun was loaded shows the level of ignorance Mr. Baldwin possessed about firearms and why personal responsibility should had led him to be proactive and attending a firearm safety course even if on his own time due to the inherent nature of a firearm to be a tool that if not handled properly and cautiously can lead to accidental death as we have seen in this instance. The tasteless fact that it has been decided to continue forward with the making of the movie after this tragedy speaks volumes to the nature and attitude on the set that safety was not the 1st and most important concern for everyone involved in this movie is what led to this fatal accidental shooting in the first place. I hope this movie is not released, and if it is the public refuse to see it so as to not support flagrant disregard to safety and the responsibility one has when deciding to pick up a gun or pistol for whatever the reason, and not handle it responsibly. This accident was 100% preventable had people only taken the known safety courses before beginning to make this movie that was known would use firearms on the set.
So everytime there is accident and someone killed( which is horrible and I have experienced) the foreman of the jobsite should be charged w manslaughter. Because he or she is ultimately responsible for everyone's life on that site? Sometimes it's just a horrible accident. And the 2 persons shot hold some responsibility for standing in the line of fire. As Alec said if it would of been a normal live shoot everyone would of been cleared. So they should of known that as well. Gun rules" always assume a firearm is loaded". So charge everyone but it won't bring anyone back or fix a broken heart.
I love you! Reach out to me.
Honestly, if any other American without blue privilege murdered someone with a gun. They would be put in jail for the duration of this bogus "investigation". What are you spending men hours investigating?
I wouldn't know if a gun has live ammo or not. A 30 minute gun safety course does not mean I am an expert on weapons.
So interesting how all of the people who actually had a part in killing Hutchins are all turning on eachother to save their own necks. This is what these studio people are like— sleazy, irresponsible, selfish, back-stabbing scum of the earth.
This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of You get what you pay for. Everyone wanted to cut corners and cut cost well that came with a fatal price. YET 450 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNKNOWINGLY FATALLY EXPOSED TO SILICA DUST AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS DONE TO STOP IT OR PROTECT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS
Why isn't the armourer charged with 2nd Murder it was her responsibility to make sure that the guns were safe also. I feel baldwin should be charged also he knowingly hires the cheapest most inexperienced armour in the industry. Also all producers should be charged also they are responsible for everything on set.
Nothing is surprising with Hollywood.Like author Mark Dice writes about,occultism runs rampant in Hollywood just like in the music industry.The word gaslighting comes from stage acting,just like limelight,because the old stage lights had gas in them to create light.There are things that are done with cameras that absolutely almost no one knows about.The exact thing happened on the Crow movie set remember?.The killer took the play book.In the Hollywood area some of the greatest involved with occultism lived and operated,such as L Ron Hubbard,Jack Parsons just to name a few.I am afraid we will most likely be seeing more of this because America is so deep in occultism with radio,television,super computers that pretty much everything now is occultism.
Sad.
Best way to commit murder, pretend you didn't pull the trigger, pretend you didn't point the firearm at someone, pretend it was blanks, pretend its not a real gun. If they actually intended to charge him he wouldn't be let out of jail like all the other criminals.
He killed her no one points a gun at someone, stupid a women died needlessly he’s an arrogant man his wife a fantasists poor kids
Well when it comes to liberals, it's always the gun's fault and not the person shooting it
Good.
I don't think it's Baldwin's fault. I think it was the weapons people.
He stated in his police interview that he was asked if he wanted to check the gun and he said NO
Retired Mil. 2012
He is innocent. Some one else wants him punished.
Soldiers train on live fire ranges with hundreds of shooters. With so many shooters there is a Rang plan.
** A designated person( Ammo Handler) is assigned to go the the Ammo Dump/Depot/point to sign for the ammunition that is aquiered for the a fireing range , and transports according to regulations. The ammunition is labeled and sealed. The paperwork is verified that it is the correct ammunition that is being requested. Then it is handed off or carried to the Range loaders point.
Range team:
* An assigned range Officer: Overall responsible.
** A range NCO/Supervisor oversees all areas on the range. A problem solver, makes sure everything is running smoothly.
* A Fire Control Tower : gives all commands to start/stop firing, dictates all cammands step by step on a Fireing Range", when to load the weapon , place weapon s on fire, fire and return to safe, stop fireing, put weapon down, tells shooter to pick up a 3 round or 20 round magazine , when to lock and load. The tower will not tell you to verify the ammunition, the shooter is not allowed to touch the magazine or individual round without a command to do so.etc etc etc.
****Saftey NCOs are close to the shooter. Have Authority.They reinforce commands from the tower, makes sure all shooters are paying attention to the tower, solves minor weapon issues during actual firing, does not allow shooter to touch his weapon for any reason unless commanded to do so, has the Authority to stop the fire range, and give the okay to start fireng, can stop the range at any given time for any reason, and everyone will stop firing, makes sure weapon are clear from Ammo visually and physically before shooter leaves fireing area/range etc etc
**** The Loaders: brakes the seal and opens the container/crates that the ammo came in. He is responsible for loading each magazine with the correct amount of ammunition. He can visually see a defective round, a blank round and live round. He personally hands the shooter, or takes the magazine to the shooter.
********The shooter: does not load the magazine , does not inspect the magazine, the shooter does not know if the loader loaded the correct amount, or has a defective round, etc. He is not allowed to touch the actual round unless told to do so by the tower, or if there is a malfunction during fireing and will be assisted by the a Saftey NCO.
A shooter will only load his own magazine on the fireing line when ammunition is added to the count,and the shooter is told verbally he will be handed x amount of rounds and will only load the magazine when told to do so. He is still not allowed to lock and load the actual weapon, or place the weapon on fire untill commands are given from the tower.
* The Armor: Qualified to correct and replace weapon parts, label a weapon to be repaired etc.
Even in the civilian sector a trainer does not tell a shooter ," get your weapon , get it loaded and go over and start firing without being supervised to make sure he is following protocol" to create a possible incident/accident that could happen. A good trainer supervises everything to prevent a possible accident.
The shooter does not check if he was given a Blank/live Rounds or the correct the amount rounds needed to be fired. This is the responsibility of the Control Tower, safteys, and loaders ***The shooter never loads his own magazine with live rounds on a training Range***. The shooter relys totally on the Rang team. Only In Combat the shooter does everything . In my personal opinion the contractors did not have total control over procedures needed to fire a weapon, or did not have a saftey plan in each step when handing a loaded weapon with the shooter. The shooter waits for commands. If the shooter is told to check if he was giving the correct rounds he will do so. The shooter does not troubleshoot his weapon , it should be good before he gets to the firing range, the shooter does not load his weopon, the shooter does not sign for the correct ammo to be used,, the shooter can be an expert, have all the training in the world,,,, but is NOT in control.
I have done all the Jobs on a firing range, except Range Officer. In a controlled environment the shooter will not put a round in his weapon unless told to do so. The shooter rely 100% on the range personal and Commands. Contractors did not have a plan or estabish a range contol plan to prevent an accident. Even if the shooter knows what he is doing , and if he is required to fire his weapon twice a day for 7 days , the shooter will be told what to do twice a day for seven days step by step and will not load his weapon. The Range is not going to be delayed for a shooter to stop and check if he was giving the correct amount, defective, or even the correct ammo. Not the shooters responsibility. In the Military with all the procedures in place with hundreds of shooters firing all day and way into the darknes overtime something will happen, but only having one shooter on a movie set the posibiliten should be zero to none of something happening. There was No safety plan , no procedures , no Authority, no one was in control, no ammo control. In other words it's all the contractors fault. It is like contracting an agency to build a house with no supervisors.

they charged him real quick however donald trump has yet to be charged, funny
So the anchor asks how soon the case would be expected to go to trial if the judge allowed it, and the reporter goes off the tangent…great reporting
Hey Alec.. show your children how to be accountable …
If he was the producer, and is at the top of the chain of responsibility, then it is only logical a charge of Involuntary Manslaughter should apply – regardless of whether he was the one who pulled the trigger or not. The fact he did though without checking the chamber was loaded with live rounds and not blanks does hammer the necessity of that charge home. He doesn't deserve prison, but definitely a punitive fine and community service.
Good, got what he deserved. Worthless lying liberal and his fake wife
Is MSNBC interested in justice or Baldwin (Hollywood actor) being cleared?
Baldwin is innocent! I refuse to believe he shot Halyna. Remember trump's reaction? "He's a sad man"? Why? Because Baldwin did his job? Because he did he was asked to do? Get out of here. Donald Trump is a man who does not handle criticism well. It is safe to say that if he were played by Jim Carrey or Tim Allen, they were the victim. I don't belive Baldwin shot Halyna. I believe Halyna fell victim to a sinister conspiracy to punish Baldwin for playing trump in SNL. Investigate that and charge the right people. FREE ALEC BALDWIN!!! BALDWIN IS INNOCENT!
Drop the charges against baldwin! Investigate people around trump! Unbelievable this happens to the man who impersonated trump in SNL
I love the grounded reality of this channel!! Despite the recession, I’m so happy withdrawing my $94k profits out of my investment with a platform in town
LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.
I want to appreciate Dr.Aluda for giving me back my life again, I was diagnose of Genital Herpes for 2 years, after using Dr Aluda herbal medicine, I got cured. All thanks to Dr. Aluda I will be forever grateful to you sir🧡🧡
He needs a teardrop tattoo
Even if the gun was accidentally armed. It shouldn't be pointed at the producer in the first place.
I STILL THINK THAT BALDWIN IS INOCENT 😇, I KEEP SAYING I ALWAYS WATCH THE SERIES ( FORENSIC FILES ) AND AT THESE MATTERS THE SPOUSE IS ALWAYS GUILTY BECAUSE OF INFEDILITY OR INSURANCE MONEY INVOLVED TO GAIN THE $$$$ BECAUSE OF THEIR DEALTH. THERE SHOULD BE MORE AND BETTER INVESTGATION 🥸🥸🥸 AT THIS CASE AND FIND OUT THE WHERE ABOUTS OF GUTIEREZ REED !!!!!
I'm a Trump supporter and no fan of Baldwin, but how can they criminally charge him for something that was an accident? What's this country coming to?
not guilty🙌
If you pay someone to do a job, how are you liable for their mistakes?
If I pay you to fix my roof and you leave a bit of timber on the edge and it falls and kills my Neighbour, that's my fault? If I get in a taxi and the taxi driver runs someone over, I suppose that's my fault as well. All the comments here seem to be made by idiots who don't seem based in reality and as for his lies, he had just killed someone accidently and wounded another person. So most people panic and try to get away from the bad situation they find themselves in, it invariably makes things worse, but it's human nature. In hindsight almost all sane people realize their mistake.
