For four continuous years, Alec Baldwin maliciously caricatured President Trump in numerous ‘comedy’ sketches on Saturday Night Live.
The cycle worked as follows:
The ‘brains’ in Washington contrived a scandal or outrage for that week, often related to the phony Russian Collusion narrative that loomed over Trump’s 4-year term. The figurative rifles were fired resting on the shoulders of shady lawyers, porn stars, dismissed or disgruntled personnel, anonymous ‘insiders’ and ‘leakers’.

My prayers go out to the person killed and the person injured by this arrogant, sanctimonious windbag. My prayer for Baldwin is that he learn from this highly regrettable event to stop being an arrogant, sanctimonious windbag ...but he won't, so I hope that he gets everything that he deserves.

After reading this I have to agree. In the beginning I felt, as much as can’t stomach Baldwin, I felt somewhat sympathetic. I guess the saying, What goes around, comes around fit in this situation. He DOES deserve the comments that are said about him and hope, but doubtful, that he receives the punishment he deserves. Bottom line, no matter how we feel or what happens to him, a son lost his mother and a husband his wife. So very sad

Karma has dealt with Alec Baldwin far above our poor power to add or detract and by taking freude in the schaden of this arrogant narcissist we dishonor the memory of his victims and demean our own spirits.

LIve by the sword-die by the sword seems appropriate. He has always been a nasty piece of work. I admit, his discomfort gives me the conflicted warm fuzzies.

And now a little boy is without his mom. A husband is without his wife. Ah yes, but Alec Baldwin is filled with remorse. His arrogance through the years brought him to this point. Hollywood in all of the grandeur has produced a lot of elitists, arrogant jerks, and the list goes on. Alec Baldwin is one of them and because he refused to be educated on gun safety, he points a gun somewhere it shouldn't have even been pointed. It was reckless and would be considered manslaughter. I doubt because of his celebrity status he will never suffer through jail time. It is bittersweet as I am certain that Alec Baldwin cheered the fate of George Zimmerman, Derek Chauvin, or any police or security officer. It is the police officers who have to respond to the undesirable circumstances every day because people don't know how to act. Arrogance gets in the way of civility.

Alex Baldwin, perennially loaded to the gills with ideological hatred of anyone to his political right, has always been unwatchable in his "Trump" routine on SNL because the skits weren't remotely funny. To work properly, comedy has to be based on a kernel of truth. Baldwin's "Trump" routines were so over the top it made one yearn for the days of Dana Carvey and Darrel Hammond, neither of whom hated the characters he was spoofing.
My late best friend was on a six-star Crystal Cruise two decades ago, and sat down at a blackjack table with Alex Baldwin, who for some reason preferred splitting pairs of face cards, lowering his odds each time he did it. My friend found this good for a laugh, and persisted in calling Baldwin "Alex" (which he hated). A couple of grand poorer after blowing some easy hands, Alex got up from the table in a huff, not even bothering to tip the dealer. My friend, who also ate dinner with O.J. Simpson (who was eating a steak) said that O.J. was a much nicer person that Alex.
Let's go, Brandon!

What went through his mind to point that gun at her and pull the trigger? I don't care if he didn't think it was loaded, that is something you don't ever do. She wasn't an actress so it couldn't be part of shooting a scene. It takes a world class jerk to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger even thinking it's unloaded.

Too bad he didn't listen to what the NRA had to say about gun safety instead of bad mouthing them. If he had paid attention, he wouldn't be in this mess

We will see if we really have a justice system in this country. I heard 'manslaughter' mentioned in a news report. Personally, I'm not optimistic.

The guy has lived in a make believe world his entire adult life, feted and adored by grifters and assorted roadies to the point of his ego and hatred consuming him. Ugly little man. Prayers to his victim and her family.

Baldwin is too self-absorbed to learn anything from this. After the old ham’s obligatory stay at a rehab center the media will use him to do the talk show circuit as another victim of the 2nd amendment.

What makes anyone think this arrogant lame piece of scum feels remorse.
He is probably sorry this killing make him look bad, but that is about it.
He will be around soon telling everyone the incident only proves he was right about outlawing guns.
You heard it here first.

Excellent article. Well put. I keep seeing headlines that say "gun kills woman on set..." No, guns do not kill; people kill. Baldwin killed the woman either by accident or on purpose. Let's see justice be honestly served and not be taken in by the killer's celebrity status. I'm not holding my breath.

Let me clear something up in the article it mentions 'the gun misfired' no it fired with a live round in it not a blank to penetrate one person and strike another is not a blank. It was also poor firearm handling on Baldwin's part also being that he is 'firearm ignorant' he's paying the price for his ignorance. He made fun of the NRA it's members and staff often accusing every gun owner of being a murderer just what he is now. The nasty piece of work, Baldwin, should expect no quarter from the many people he hated on. It's sad someone lost their life and some were injured by Baldwin the blowhard jerk. He felt nothing for President Trump when he was piling on so now he should receive the same.

Baldwin has been attacking our gun rights under the 2nd Amendment for a long time because it's what his fellow leftards do and it makes him feel superior. If any of us responsible gun owners had been playing that movie part, that woman would still be alive today because we would not have been that stupid. We do not cling to guns as the leftards preach, we respect them for the power they gives us against our enemies - foreign and domestic. Right now the domestic is a far bigger threat than the foreign and it's people like Baldwin who fan the flames of communism in this country because they are stupid about that too. Hang him and Let's Go Brandon.

Did you know the NY philharmonic uses ole alec as their spokes guy ? That’s on an npr station . Will be curious to see how quick this relationship cools .. prollly not one bit .They have had him despite all other vile behaviour he commits .Topped off by a killing .. Betcha the ny libs &npr won’t even blink . Isn’t it odd that the smug “arts & croissant” crowd(h/tWl Rushbo) now has their whitey killer to add to all the other criminals & thugs of various hues they support .

I don’t know how any LEO, judge or jury gets around the fact that he pointed a gun at a fellow human being and pulled the trigger. No matter the other circumstances, that alone makes him guilty.
He fully deserves prison and what he will receive there. I imagine that some of the other prisoners would love the notoriety of having “done” Alec Baldwin.

2 Questions...Could he not tell by the weight of the gun that it was loaded? Also, isn't there something on a gun called a safety?

This article speaks volumes, however, this paragraph is incorrect - "Alec Baldwin is now in a position of inconceivable peril after fatally shooting a young woman and seriously injuring a man when the prop gun on his film set misfired". This was a real handgun, not a prop. Seeing how this woman's death occurred in a blue state, we'll soon see whether Baldwin is rewarded with a slap on the wrist or at most probation.

There is much to this story remaining to be told. Baldwin was more than the lead actor in this movie. He was also a producer--he was one of those managing the business of making the movie.
A week earlier, the union workers on the set of the movie complained that they were working 13-hour days with little rest. Moreover, the producers, who rented expensive hotel rooms in nearby Santa Fe for themselves and the actors, insisted the set workers stay in cheaper hotels 50 miles away in Albuquerque, thereby imposing on the weary workers an additional unpaid one-hour drive both before and after their daily 13-hour shifts. When the union workers' complaint of these "unsafe" conditions was ignored, they walked off the set. This may not have been the only basis for their claim of "unsafe working conditions" on this movie set.
The producers then hired untrained and inexperienced "scabs" to undertake the duties previously performed by the union workers. This included the duties of armorer, the person who manages all dangerous guns and other weaponry. A few articles have claimed that other guns "misfired" twice the day previous to the shooting and death of the cinematographer.
No one yet knows whether Baldwin's gun was misloaded inadvertently by an untrained scab armorer or intentionally by a union worker seeking to embarrass or threaten the movie producers. Either way, the cinematographer's husband and child will be paid handsomely by the movie's insurer for the loss of their wife and mother. And the filming and post-filming production of the movie will never be completed, resulting in considerable additional losses, likely covered by insurance.
Baldwin's career is thus in a deep hole, which he is unlikely ever to climb out of. The movie-making business is often cruelly unforgiving.

I was young once. Hopalong Cassidy was my hero! I received the two holster belt with two "six shooter" cap guns. I could swirl those guns around my finger and put them back into the holster in one movement. My Dad, said to me, as I put the holster and gun belt on, "Don't you EVER point those guns at a person, and especially a policeman!" I was six yrs old. NO ONE will ever convince me that baldwin is so stupid as to point a gun at a person, even if he was joking and playing around. Fake gun, loaded or unloaded. He knew what he was doing. He will get off. the person who will be charged is the person who gave him the gun. baldwin will be a victim.

I haven't seen any details about the gun. While a semi-automatic pistol could have a hair trigger and be cocked by a previous firing, my understanding was that this film was an old western that would use revolvers exclusively. And if they were authentic, they were single action. A double action pistol would pull the hammer back and release it to fire the weapon with a trigger pull. A single action, like they had in the old west, would have to be cocked before you could fire it by pulling the trigger.
How 'authentic' were the weapons at use here? Single action? Revolvers? You can see the bullets by looking at the cylinder with a revolver.
I see no details in ANY of the stories.
And, cocking and pulling the trigger, two separate acts, could hardly be accidental.

This is a strange event but I guess we will eventually get the details...caliber, make, etc. Not all guns were single-action revolvers as double-action guns were being produced. Doc Holliday carried a Colt 'self-cocker' most likely a Colt Lightning which was double-action...draw it and pull the trigger. No cocking of the hammer is needed.

New Mexico state law: "Involuntary manslaughter consists of manslaughter committed in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to felony, or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner or without due caution and circumspection. Whoever commits involuntary manslaughter is guilty of a fourth degree felony."
It's pretty straightforward...one person died and another was injured by Baldwin's lack of "due caution and circumspection." The story I heard from the media was that he was upset by being required to retake a scene...and said someone deserved to be shot as he pulled the trigger. Some joke by Mr. Big.

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Feel sympathy and sorrow for the young woman’s family and friends and for the person who’s recovering. Also sympathy for the folks on the production crew whose jobs may potentially be at stake. Alec Baldwin…trying hard not to feel schadenfreude. It is not a circumstance I would ever wish to be repeated and happen to anyone else regardless. Baldwin will have his own conscience to wrestle with for the rest of his breathing days.
