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.

Some people take this place too seriously but of all the tasteless threads, this would rank near the bottom from the ones on here over the years. It's a message board.

People are crushing Baldwin because of all the sh*t he's talked all these years about guns and so forth. Like that old Tweet. It's all fair game. He just can't keep his mouth closed. He has to open his stupid face and pour out nonsense.
It is extremely sad that a person died. It doesn't end there. Baldwin should face some jail time over this. If one of us did it, we certainly would.

You're probably correct. Ed loves to troll people and be hypocritical about attacks. How he hasn't been permanently banned is beyond me.
Ed was joined at the hip with Baller. Self explanatory, if you remember Baller. I suspect he and Kybassfan are the same poster. Or at least double cousins. Watch for his response to this post. Deflection galore.

That Brandon Lee incident always fascinated me. It seems to only take one time to eff up the safety protocols for something bad to happen.

So you are saying Baldwin probably thought the gun was safe? He thought the prop department did their job? Makes sense.
No, I'm not saying that at all.

Even if he "probably thought the gun was safe" it doesn't matter, either legally or morally. The prop department wasn't in possession of the gun when it was discharged, the prop department didn't intentionally point the gun at a human being, and the prop department didn't intentionally pull the trigger. This is solely on Baldwin.

JFC this thread just confirms what an utter cesspool this forum is. Seriously, so many people here are just completely garbage human beings.
Might you have been gazing into a nearby mirror as you typed your insults? I only ask because it here we find you. And the profanity? What's that about? Coming from someone who must believe oneself to be without fault. Living that life must be a challenge and maybe that's the reason for pent up frustration and the lashing out. Baby steps are recommended as you cope to realize that rest of us don't really care so much about what you think. Have a blessed recovery...remember, baby steps.

You know almost zero facts have come out. But don’t let that stop you from acting like you know the facts.

Yikes. Yahoo so probably fake news.

Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of "Rust" with a prop gun, a half-dozen camera crew workers walked off the set to protest working conditions.

cont'd

"Corners were being cut — and they brought in nonunion people so they could continue shooting," the knowledgeable person said.

There were two misfires on the prop gun on Saturday and one the previous week, the person said, adding "there was a serious lack of safety meetings on this set."

Ongoing investigation. Give it time. Baldwin just released a statement, but it's the typical I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation type thing. One of the main problems with society now is everyone wants an answer this second and then there's instant speculation. Heck, I just did it with my theory.

As for your second point, what's your point? He's an actor with opinions. I don't pay attention to them but maybe you do and disagree. That's fine. A personal goal in life for me is that if something like this happens, that I don't immediately yell about that person's politics. James Woods is conservative and a great actor. If this had happened with him, the last thing I'd do is complain about his personal opinions and try to spin the death as a win for "my side". Obviously many would though.
How about you do you and let others do them without being scolded by a message board Karen?

Thanks in advance!

Isn’t it someone’s job to set up and check all props used? Pretty sure some guidelines are in place.
Yes. Prop guns (and any bullets in the gun) are supposed to be checked by the crew to ensure safety before they ever reach the actors in order to avoid situations like this and the Brandon Lee one.

Supposed to being the key here.

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.
CGI is generally pretty expensive.

I read this was supposed to be a pretty low budget movie. Not surprising corners were being cut.

I can't figure it out. All I know is a liberal with a firearm is one of the most dangerous things on earth. Most liberal are urbanites who have no clue about which end is up on a firearm. They are also afraid of firearms. Fear is dangerous when you are handling a hand gun. Especially if the lib is Alex Baldwin. He has a record.

We could all live a thousand years and nothing this stupid will be repeated on a movie set. Leave it to a moron like Baldwin to make history. I hope the families sue him for everything he owns and his insurance company denies the claim so the money comes out of his pocket. Dumb ***.
Ditto....he's a huge Richard and his arrogance went down a few notches I'd say

The Big Question is why were their live bullets on a movie set to start with. If that was the case. I guess that has not been verified or if it has, not released.

If and I say if, a live round was on a movie set then the person or persons responsible for that should be charged with manslaughter at the minimum. This whole incident does not make sense and I guess in part because one of the vilest, hate mongering persons in show business is involved. And if you are the most angered filled man in Hollywood that puts you in the bottom .05% of humanity. Mr Alec Baldwin
