Alec Baldwin

Shoots and kills someone on set, injures another, with prop gun.

What a tragedy.

Dude I saw this. Completely F-ed up. What a shame.

Storm will probably say it’s related to the impending treason trials.

He’s currently looking up a post from Q that will support it too. You know the ones with circles of dates and arrows of completely non-related materials in an effort to force a connection. :roll_eyes:

I heard the news about it on the sports talk radio this morning. It’s really a tragedy. I would not want to be Alec Baldwin right now. I wouldn’t know how to feel. I know it was an accident, but it’s a very tough pill to swallow.

Indeed. Horrible for everyone.

You cannot possibly know that it was an accident. What is a live cartridge doing in a prop gun? Someone loaded the gun.

Early to tell if it was accidental….seems that way and this has happened before. If nothing else I’m sure there will be civil suits coming out of this.

What if putting real bullets in the gun were found to be a perverse practical joke? How many rounds in the gun were bullets and how many were blanks? How many shots were fired. How long was the interval between shots. What compelled Baldwin to shoot more than once? Had Baldwin been drinking? Did he submit to a blood test? In such cases, police can compel a subject to submit to blood testing. Lots of unanswered questions.

I imagine he would shoot the gun multiple times if the scene required it. He wouldn’t immediately know he was firing live rounds or defective blanks. A complete guess would be that he was firing toward the camera as both the director and head of photography were hit.

The irony

Certain posters and websites are making this political?

I’m 305’s complete lack of surprise.

What I want to know is who’s the asshole who took that picture of him doubled over in the parking lot? Classless if you ask me.

I think Alec Baldwin is a good actor but he’s also a bad-tempered jerk. I believe that he is now understandably grief stricken over what happened, and I think he has behaved prudently and expressed his condolences sincerely. When someone dies as a result of accident it confirms in my mind that there is no just God watching over humanity. How fragile is the gift of life, and how devastating it is to lose one’s friends. And, people invariably say they will pray for you. Why?

If this were Mel Gibson, John Voigt or Clint Eastwood who killed someone on set do you think the media would be acting the way they are now?

The media is sick. The enemy of the people.

What do you mean? How is the media acting? And what is sick about it?

By the way, bikki, I read details. There was a single live round fired that apparently went through the DP (director of photography) and into the director. She died en route to the hospital and he lived.

I also saw a conspiracy theory. Apparently she was leading advocacy for better working conditions on that set. They were pulling 15 hour days and had long drives without their lodging paid for, etc. This is all unconfirmed second hand stuff, mind you. But the conspiracy would be that somebody put a live round in there to shut her up.

I think it’s a dumb conspiracy because this would be good way to put a microscope on not only you but her cause. If there were bad working conditions, no one gave an F before but they will now.

More likely the crappy working conditions led to overtired workers who didn’t properly check weapons like they were supposed too. Very tragic if the case.

You’re going to have a tough conversation with the Creator once you get there. GSC will agree I’m sure.

The media is already attempting to protect him.

Calling him “an actor” when he is also the Producer and has ultimate responsibility.

They deemed his set “low budget” making it seem like things were out of his control. They are framing.

If this were a conservative they’d be putting the screws to that person.

bikki’s only flaw is that he’s an atheist.

He knows deep down that there’s a God. A good one at that. He’s espoused the moral benefits of Christianity while condemning Islam….

But he likes to live life the way he wants to. He will not be told what to do by anyone, much less the creator of the universe.

I have a feeling that one day Bikki will accept god. I just hope it’s sooner than later.

Most people want to live the life they want to.

I wish more lead the life they NEED to. Myself included. I’m trying….

He is an actor and that’s how 99% of America know of him. I’ve read news stories that say he’s also the producer. The fact is the Assistant Director handed him what he said was a cold gun. I don’t see how Baldwin is responsible, but working conditions could come to light. I believe the ultimate responsibility for firearms on movie sets falls on the armorer, so I’d like to hear more about who that is and how the gun was loaded.

Um, low budget could just as easily be a point of fault. Is it a factual statement or not?

Who cares about hypothetical bogeymen. Let’s discuss what is actually happening.

Only one shot was live in the gun. The others were blanks. The one shot killed the woman and wounded another. It has not been disclosed what order the shots were fired, or whether just one round, a live one, was the only shot fired.
