Alec Baldwin kills someone on movie set

Just sharing and no idea if true or not.
JFC this thread just confirms what an utter cesspool this forum is. Seriously, so many people here are just completely garbage human beings.
Most post haven't been hate just saying that Karma carries a mean bite and Alec is finding that out the hard way.
We don't know all the facts yet. But the past can often be a useful window into the present. Alec Baldwin is the kind of man who'd call up and threaten his 12-year-old daughter, and call her a "pig" because she didn't answer the phone at some preset moment he chose.
He's also been involved in at least a half a dozen other foolish and embarrassing episodes that show he has no self-control, the anger management skills of a two-year-old, and a gigantic sense of entitlement. See below. That doesn't mean he's responsible in this case, but it does suggest he wasn't acting with the care and maturity of a normal adult.

Probably the most plausible reason. Maybe untrue but it makes the most sense.
Ok.
Let's shut down all speech by anyone we disagree with or who does not conform to what we believe to be the way to act.
Because I’m not a monster. Why are you taking such joy in it?
This incident make me wonder about the safety protocols that are in place when guns are used on a set. If Baldwin followed any of the normal gun safety rules that you listed, this doesn't happen. But I'm also curious how a live round made it on set. Why wasn't the gun verified and triple checked by someone that knew what they were doing? (And yes, Baldwin should have known what he was doing).
Could start a thread titled how to agree with who you disagree with, but it would probably get locked before you could hit post. If this guy had his way anyhow.
Not sure why they would intentionally use a "hot gun", but if they did, surely Baldwin would have been told about it. If so, Baldwin deserves more ridicule than he's received on here and I'm sure the victim's families would agree.
Don't sell yourself short. Your ideas are quite monstrous.
It would be hard to not charge him with manslaughter if that's true.
Isn’t it someone’s job to set up and check all props used? Pretty sure some guidelines are in place.
It does not make me happy. I think Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October was great. It is one of my favorite movies.
Hollywood spends a lot of time preaching to everyone else while breaking every rule in the book.
I'm not "describing" anyone. I'm posting confirmed facts about Alec Baldwin that accurately portray him as an angry, immature, reckless, out-of-control person.
It's relevant to this episode because a person with a different temperament would probably not be in the position of having killed someone else -- even if erroneously handed a "hot" weapon. Most stable people know to never point a gun - real or prop - at anyone, to assume it has the power to harm, to never assume it is unloaded, to never put a finger on the trigger unless you plan to shoot and to never treat any weapon as a toy.
Apparently that person was asleep at the wheel. In either case, when you pick up a gun or a prop gun (which are usually real guns from what I've read), you verify what is going on with it.
You don't accidentally pull a trigger. Unless you're a moron.
Well I'm sure IDGAF what your opinion is on the validity of the claim.
You’re last sentence says a lot.
Granted I am old and my memory isn't the best but it seems like I recall you have made some crude comments about unvaccinated people who died. If I am thinking of someone else I apologize.
Exactly. I don't understand how, in 2021, any type of gun capable of firing any type round even makes its way onto a movie set. How hard could it be to mock up a replica of ANY weapon? Furthermore, if they are using a real gun (or even a "prop" gun), how the hell does live ammunition even get anywhere near a set?
If a pistol is to be used, just remove the f#cking barrel and add in a CGI muzzle blast with a sound effect. If it's a revolver just use snap caps, or better yet don't use ANYTHING, and then add a blast/sound effect. It really shouldn't be hard or expensive.
I'll give Alec Baldwin this: as an actor in a western, I'm sure he was frequently pulling the trigger on a gun in front of the cameras. Knowing his political proclivities, he probably doesn't own a gun, so probably knows little of gun safety and protocol (except whatever briefing the prop guys give you), and was likely very dependent on the props people to be safe. If the Daily Mail is correct, it sounds like he was joking around on-set, which led to this.
This is a tragedy. I don't wish that guilt and responsibility upon anyone.

You're probably correct. Ed loves to troll people and be hypocritical about attacks. How he hasn't been permanently banned is beyond me.
So you are saying Baldwin probably thought the gun was safe? He thought the prop department did their job? Makes sense.
Good point. No matter what an innocent person lost their life. But the rush to make this political is a joke.
It is always someone else's fault and the gun is at fault. Try to understand that pulling the trigger is the problem.
I agree and I haven't read many people joking about those people dying most are just saying that Alec made crude comments about shootings on Twitter and now he finds himself in the same situation.
Just like the rush to make a school shooting political is a joke.
