Alec Baldwin just shot and KILLED a woman on a movie set

It emphasizes that someone is dead as opposed to shooting someone in a movie and having them play dead. It is worth emphasizing because many of you seem to think this is all part of a movie.

He’s your little liberal hero. Liberals like you will always defend murderers and criminals no matter what. You’ll use any specious argument you can do defend them, regardless of the facts.

Could you point me to any posters that have said that someone dying is all part of making a movie?

I heard the mods are going to change the thread title to "The Fake Lawyer's Humiliation Thread."

Can you imagine holding yourself out as a lawyer and an expert on law, and then getting the basic standard 180 degrees wrong? That can't be anything but completely humiliating.

People react in different ways to public humiliation. Some flee the discussion/dispute. Intellectually and emotionally mature adults might do a mea culpa - admit an error was made, and recalibrate their thoughts and opinions. A relative minority of dysfunctional and maladapted adults try to deflect from their glaring errors by changing the topic (deflecting) and/or angrily lashing out and attacking others, especially attacking those who brought the error to light in the first place. Those people typically end up humiliating themselves further - they actually make the humiliating situation worse for themselves without realizing it.

Little liberal hero? Did you read my post? To you, big Baldwin represents all that is evil about liberals.

I don't have a dog in the fight and the D.A. can do whatever she wants.

"What's the difference between shooting someone and "literally" doing so?"

Aztec didn't understand why it was important to point out that someone literally shot a person when thousands of people get shot in movies every year. Who shot JR? That was a headline that millions read and understood to be other than a literal shooting. So if the media merely stated that Baldwin shot somebody in the making of Rust, most people would not bother reading the story.

Crew members on the set of "Rust" used guns with live ammunition and engaged in a pastime called "plinking" hours before Halyna Hutchins was killed, founder and CEO of The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, told CNN's Don Lemon Monday night, citing information from an individual with knowledge of the set.

One of the guns used was later handed to actor Alec Baldwin, who fired the shot that killed Hutchins, 42, and injured director Joel Souza, The Wrap reported.

"There's this pastime that crew members sometimes do, it's called 'plinking,' and they go out into the rural areas and they shoot at beer cans. This is with live ammunition. We learned that this happened the morning of the day that Halyna Hutchins was killed," Waxman said.

I'm not sure this would work in Baldwin's favor if addressed by investigators.

Everything will be addressed by the investigators. One of the details that needs to be addressed is the role of the assistant manager. I assume he was the middleman and not the person responsible for the safety of the gun. Did he specifically confirm with the prop manager that the gun was safe or did he just pick it off of a table and assumed it was cleared.

I live 45 minutes from the Bonanza Creek Ranch and have been a movie extra there.

This story is on the Albuquerque news every night and every angle is being investigated.

These main points stand out:

1. Live rounds were being used on the property for target practice, which is forbidden.

2. The crew was complaining about unsafe working conditions and threatened to walk out (strike).

3. The armorer admitted to having very little experience handling guns and had to ask her dad for advice on gun safety.

4. The assistant director (who supposedly handed the gun in question to Baldwin) had bee fired from previous productions for negligence.

The question has been raised, was this a deliberate sabotage or vendetta.

The crew wanted the cinematographer to walk out with them (strike) but she refused.

Maybe it was just a tragic accident but production of Rust has been halted and I assume will not resume, nor should it.

This incident will put a serious dent in the booming New Mexico movie industry moving forward.

Has anyone gotten any information about he gun. It is a definitely a period piece from the 1880s. It could be something like a Colt .45. It also seems to be a powerful gun and people wanted to see the damage it could inflict. Shame on whoever allowed using a real gun to play-around with on a movie set. That is something that would happen at the producer/director level. The prop person does what they are told to do.

I can see how unqualified clowns (this includes Baldwin) could have played with the gun, then put it back in for the prop person to set up, and the Assistant Director, whose job it is to keep things on schedule, picks up the gun, who assumes it had not been used during lunch break (he must be deaf), or it was left in the wrong place by the people playing with it, and a killing happens.

It is my opinion, that ever single real gun used in a film should be a 3D printed replica that cannot fire a round. Any real gun used for closeups should be locked/capped to prevent a bullet from being place in it. If you want a close up of a bullet inside a gun then add that using CGI.

Geez, this was posted about several hundred posts ago.

WHY are you posting links to FOX NEWS?!? We know that they HATE the guy made fun of your hero Trump. Are you that banned poster named Sally Vix? That person who is a racist and claims is marries to a Chinese Virus Woman, and is anti-immigrant and claims to have a Muslim son?

Yes, danube and Sally are the same poster.

I hate Fox News as much as the next non-Republican, but the article on the website are usually pretty good and unbiased (comments are a typical dumpster fire though). Also, has the advantage of not being behind a paywall.

Baldwin is exactly the kind of violent, bullying, arrogant, sloppy A-hole the left always accused Trump of being. Trump is a paragon of compassion and empathy by comparison.

Karma just had a batch of puppies.

Unbiased? Definite trolling. As unbiased as Fox News readers think Wapo and Huffpo are?

If you want unbiased and no paywall try NPR and Al Jazeera. Fox News reader cannot stand either of those (one is Deep State and the other must be ISIS controlled). The Christian Science Monitor is unbiased but is now under a paywall.

I don’t read the website, but sometimes follow a link from a news aggregator (like google news) when other stories are paywalls.

I agree with your assessment of the other three news outlets, but want to note that NPRs (who I really like) on air content sometimes has more of a liberal slant than their online articles, which yes, are very fair.

Any outlet not reporting on the story or downplaying the killing, are biased.

A special shout-out to all you morons who think Baldwin’s going to be criminally charged. He’s not, not because of liburulz, but because he isn’t culpable. Not so for the armorer and the A.D. Watch and learn.
