Alec Baldwin said Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins 'was my friend' and revealed he 'took her to dinner with the director' on the first day of shooting when he stopped to talk to photographers in Vermont. Baldwin was with his wife Hilaria, who appeared to be filming the interaction, when the couple pulled over to talk to photographers in Manchester, Vermont.The couple spoke for roughly four minutes. He said: 'A woman died. She was my friend.' 'The day I arrived in Santa Fe to start shooting, I took her to dinner with Joel, the director,' he said. 'We were a very, very well oiled crew shooting a film together and then

Give me a break.
There are plenty of rule now. Just like there are plenty of gun laws.
But if you or your crew do not obey them this type of thing happens you dolt.

Why did Baldwin point the weapon at her and pull the trigger?

He talks like he wasn't the one who killed her. What a jerk, because I probably can't say dooshbag in the salon.

“Last clear chance” is an axiom in tort law. Baldwin had the last clear chance to avoid the shooting that killed the cinematographer.

This little boy is making me madder and madder. HE is the only one responsible for her death. The only person responsible is the one pointing the gun. He was responsible for knowing what was in the gun. He didn't check it and he murdered her and wounded the the other guy. PERIOD

Here's my prediction: the armorer and the assistant director will be strung up. Baldwin will skate. Once he knows he won't be charged, he'll be even more self-righteous and obnoxious about guns and gun owners. It is already starting - as a previous poster noted, he acts like he wasn't the one who shot her dead.

He’s not helping himself by speaking a single word.
So keep it up you odious piece of vermin excrement. I hope that you talk yourself right into prison.

I'll say one thing. His wife was pretty smart to record the conversation they had with the reporters. They know exactly how things like this get twisted by the media and they have a record of what was actually said. He's still a first class jerk.

Alec Alec Alec. You poor misguided ignorant twit.
You..... the producer, is the person responsible for ensuring that everyone involved in your production follows the laws and rules currently in place. Neither you, nor anyone else in your production followed any of, or enforced any of said laws and rules.
You, the person actually handling the weapon is the last responsible, and the person most responsible for checking the weapon and following proper safety procedures.
Live rounds should never have been on the set
The "murder" weapon should never have been loaded with live ammunition, let alone be used for "target practice" earlier that same day.
Alec...... you and your crew failed in every possible way with the result being an entirely preventable death and injury. This wasn't an accident. This was the result of gross and arguably criminal negligence.
What Alex wants is new rules where "HE" isnt responsible.

I work on film sets. There are plenty enough rules on the handling of ordinance. This bag of wind is just trying cover his butt.

I'm sure this will come as a surprise to Mr. Baldwin....but He Himself is responsible for her death. The gun was in his hand. He didn't check and clear the gun first. Maybe he should have taken that NRA safety course.

Exactly #2. I don’t think i would gratuitously point a squirt gun at someone.
Guns are a big joke to him. Other people’s lives are a big joke to him. He’s an egomaniac who’s always right even when he gratuitously kills someone. Which usually requires that he blame someone or something else.
Murderer.

The first thing a lawyer will tell you after an incident in which you were involved is to keep your mouth shut. Keep talking Alec. Hopefully you'll blab yourself right into a prison cell.

The pix look as though this is getting to him, but he still thinks the answer is to make up more rules.

There are 2 ways that defendants can think:
1 I did something wrong and must suffer the consequences.
2 Something bad happened to me. (I am not responsible.)

Not only did Baldwin point the gun at the victims and pull the trigger; he had to co ck the hammer before firing! (It's a single-action revolver).

Awwwww! If you weren’t such a nine and were a real American who learned to handle firearms as children, she would be alive today! Why would you point even a prop gun at some woman who is your friend???

I wouldn't put it past Alec to have made Halyna Hutchins to pay for her own dinner. What was the tip? $1.00 or none?

I have read several times now that Baldwin has admitted he was demonstrating how he would draw the gun from his holster when they were actually filming.
Why would Baldwin, a noted international firearms expert put his finger on the trigger while demonstrating drawing a gun? Not many Ukrainians have any love for communism, so did a previous conversation on politics result in Baldwin's decision to shoot her dead? If so, the FBI/DOJ will surely give him a pass.

What good are new rules when people, like him, disregard the existing rules?
