  1. Next time Baldwin don't make fun of a president that has fanatics in office.

  2. Rich people problems.

  3. MAGA is so bummed out Alec did nothing wrong!

  4. It doesn't matter if the gun was flawed or not. Baldwin pointed a loaded weapon at a person and killed them that's man slaughter pure and simple. When the brakes fail in a car and someone gets killed in an accident that's manslaughter.

  5. I guess we're supposed forget the FBI forensics said the gun had no issues, none. Suddenly the FBI is wrong?

  6. Good. Finally the armour will be held accountable.

  7. The trans unexperienced armorer is to blame, it was it's responsibility to check the guns.

  8. I'm no gun expert but, that era of revolver appears to be single action and having the gun cocked when pointing is more realistic during filming.

  9. Bleeding Heart Trump Hating Liberal is getting away with Cold Blooded Murder is what every Headline in the Medias should say.

  10. Not only that guys but didn't David Halls make a statement that Baldwin never pulled the trigger also

  11. This is why regular people don’t trust the legal system, they convict people and give them long sentences in the time it took them to come up with this crap! A single action revolver! Fired it self because of some mystery mechanical abnormality! I say BS ! Anyone knowing that gun knew he would have a tough time explaining what happened! Then you have a news outlet say “sources say it was mechanically improper “ ! What the F does that mean? If you beat someone to death with a broken bat! You are innocent because the bat was mechanically improper ?

  12. That’s exactly why you never pull the trigger…..
    Anyone else laughing at the hypocrisy?

  13. No gun ever malfunctioned with mechanical issues when a Black male fired it. Hmmmmm?

  14. SOOOO, it could fire a live round exactly how a firearm is NOT designed to do without even putting pressure on the trigger much less pulling the trigger! exactly what Alec Baldwin has said all along!

  15. Cover up. Alarm bells.

  16. I knew it I knew this was true

  17. Different rules for “special” people. Yeah, guns fire without pulling the trigger…. nonsense. Does anyone believe this?

  18. First Brandon Lee and now this? Film companies need to get better safety management to inspect weapons before they are used on set. This is sad and messed up. I know accidents happen but this could have been prevented.

  19. LIES

    F ALEC BALDWIN

    HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON

  20. This is why I don't like Hollywood movies. Its all same old, same old, BANG BANG BANG…
    Hollywood is the biggest pimp for guns in America. Cars and guns and stunts. Hollywood's dirty secret.

  21. The gun experienced a Space X moment: rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation. 🤣

  22. If the gun didn't go off then, it would have went off during filming. Free AB. Blame the Gun Safety Specialist or whatever you call her.

  23. It all comes down to the Armour she was responsible to make sure there were no live rounds on set and that the gun functioned properly

  24. And it took this long to determine this? A live round was in it and it was cocked (a revolver can't be fired without the hammer being cocked) which has to be done by the user. This is being investigated by fools.

  25. A defective hair trigger that can release the hammer at a touch. He never even "pulled" the trigger.

  26. Alex Baldwin is a murderer and he got away with it coz he is rich our country is going to 💩

  27. That’s interesting, it seemed to fire a live round exactly how a firearm is designed to do

  28. Alec Baldwin is at fault. He is to blame.

  29. Not a huge AB fan, but was dubious about his responsibility since he's been doing this stuff for decades. Glad that there is FINALLY some clarity…
