Alec Baldwin has said Halyna Hutchins' death is 'the worst situation' he has 'ever been involved with'. The actor, 63, accidentally fatally shot the cinematographer on the set of the Western film Rust last year, and in a lengthy video, reflected on 2021 and how thankful he is to have gotten 'so much goodwill from people'. He said: 'I've had more people who have been kind and thoughtful and generous of spirit than I've had people who are malignant about the death of Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin keeps painting himself as a/the victim. He's a shameless POS.

At first read , it sounds as if he has the glimmer of a conscience, but given a moment of reflection , it's all about him.

The truth is that Baldwin is a dumb bass who does not possess the basic skills and qualities that it takes to make a functioning human being. I still remember the recording of him calling his own daughter a little b-tch over the phone. What kind of a father does that?
He shot a woman by stupidly pointing a gun at her without even checking if it was loaded.

Alec Baldwin saying he just wants the truth seems kind of like Smiley Virus (or Madonna, for that matter) saying she just wants holiness. The rational disconnect is egregious enough to be almost humorous.

The truth is that he was in control of the gun, he pointed the gun, the gun fired killing the young woman. He was negligent and someone died because of that fact.

I hope he gets killed in the county jail for giving guns a bad name.
Being an ignorant liberal hes still trying to reinforce the narrative that guns are so dangerous that they go off at a time and place of their own choosing. no one has to pull the trigger. guns just go off whenever they want to. that's how dangerous they are.

The truth is the by some unknown means, error or intentional, a loaded cartridge was introduced into a movie gun. And then Mr. Baldwin, c*cked the hammer and pulled the trigger while it was pointed at two people. Now, with that old pistol design, you can pull the trigger and THEN c*ck the hammer and release it, and it will fire. But you HAVE TO do both actions, unless internal parts of the gun are broken or missing. These 'broken or missing' things, if present, would show up in a post-shooting inspection by a qualified gunsmith.
Since nothing has been said about 'defective gun', we can assume that the gun is not defective.
Baldwin fired the shot. No other possibilities.
Now - as to how the live cartridge got on the set, and how it got into the gun - that is unknown at this point.
But, a competent, controlled set would have never had any guns out of control of the armorer. Forcing the armorer to do double duty as the prop master, too, meant divided attention - and incompetents like the assistant director handling guns. THAT is also on Baldwin, apparently cutting cost corners by not having a separate prop master and letting the armorer do ONLY the guns.
All roads lead back to Baldwin.
The brainless word nanny cannot tell that the correct word for fully pulling back the hammer on a gun is NOT a 'bad word'. Irritating.

What possible “truth,” is left to determine, after the fact that a firearm under Mr. Baldwin’s direct control discharged a lethal projectile killing Ms Hutchins? I fail to understand what the man’s talking about. Mr. Baldwin can testify to his state of mind, or the circumstances contributing to the firearm under his hand discharging to fatal result, but there is no disputing the factual truth. Mr. Baldwin should either confess and be prepared to write the check or shut up. I don’t blame the guy for wanting to skate but at least be enough of a man about it to let others do the yapping. “No one wants the truth more than I do,” is just sickening blather.

#15 cuts to the chase. This imbroglio involves the trigger puller "Alex" Baldwin but is about Ms. Hutchins and the other gunshot victim behind her who was hit by the same bullet. A short time later Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, in deference to Baldwin's stupidity and inability to handle firearms safely on a movie set, decided to go gun free on his movie sets. An acquaintance told me that the Rock did the right thing, and what did I think? I told him the Rock was totally wrong and is a pussy. I stand by that remark.
Would Keanu Reeves, a true firearms expert trained extensively by the best people in the gun business, do this? Would he? Nawp. The John Wick series started a few years ago and, if you believe the ratings, started well (*** for the first two and ***1/2 for the third), and has gotten steadily better. The fourth John Wick movie is in post production, and a fifth is ready to start shooting. Literally.

Guns don't kill people; people kill people. I am so tired of the Baldwin family posting pictures of their "perfect" family having fun while his victims family is still in mourning. Why can't they just shut up and stop taking pictures of themselves. At least his wife has stopped putting pictures of herself standing on her head in her underwear. When was Alec ever kind to President Trump when he was trying to save America? Can't stand the man. He should spend sometime in jail.

The truth is, a hammer was cocked, and a trigger was pulled by a human being.
It didn’t happen by osmosis.
It didn’t happen in one's imagination.
It didn’t happen in a vacuum.
It happened when one (not very smart at all) Alec pointed, and pulled the trigger shooting and killing one person, while wounding another.
That is the truth and facts as far as anyone knows.
There’s no where to run and hide Baldwin.

Alec, please shut up. If you must be in public, wear your *victim* badge..
This would be more than enough to get your point across. You killed someone.
It was You, the culprit. Live with it,. Accept the consequences of your action. But, please
SHUT UP!

I'm not a big fan of this video maker's personal style, but he gets the facts right in this video.
One tidbit. The video guy says that he isn't sure if the movement in the firing pin of the Pietta replica is the same as the original old Colts. It is, this slight movement of the firing pin is necessary for the firing pin to hit the primer of the cartridge correctly, and is on all accurate replicas and originals.

Ok, here's the truth. As guy holding the gun and executive producer you are at a minimum guilty of manslaughter and should have already been arrested and awaiting trial.
I figure you can sit in prison for a year without charges first, getting beaten and deprived medical care like the January 6th Patriots since that's apparently ok now.

Let the record reflect that the iconic Lakerman (that would be me,) has remained silent on the matter of the Alec Baldwin shootings, even though the iconic one owns about 25 guns, and has been a lifelong hunter.
This is what I have concluded as to liability for the death of the woman.
Alec Baldwin, the actor, bears no liability in the shooting. And while it is axiomatic that the person holding the gun has the responsibility to make sure it is not loaded, the whole point of films of western genre is to make believe, with lots of shooting, and lots of shooters.
It is impossible for those actors to keep track of arms, which is precisely why there is an armorer on set to take care of the guns and ammunition.
And who is ultimately liable for the guns and shooting? The executive producer, one Alec Baldwin.
He hired an admittedly incompetent young woman as armorer, and she, in turn, allowed live rounds of ammunition to be brought on set to let crew members to target practice during breaks. That was a mortal sin. No one should ever have live rounds and blanks mixed together in the same location. And Baldwin should have been aware of the breech of protocol. He would have heard the gunshots while the cameras were not running.
So in the end, Baldwin is not guilty as an actor, but guilty as an executive producer.
You people may challenge my logic, but you would be wrong.

Alec, the truth is you shot her. You. No one else. You failed to use even basic safety practices. The gun couldn't go off unless it was cocked! Who in their right mind would hand anyone a cocked weapon and not tell them? The truth is, you are a LIAR, Alec Baldwin, and you killed someone with negligence. I hope her ghost haunts you for the rest of your miserable life.

The policewoman in Minnesota did not intend to shoot the criminal but she paid the price for her accident. Alec must pay for his crime. As they say, if you do the crime, you must serve the time Alec. I'll send you a complimentary soap on a rope.

Quit digging, Alec. Just admit you made a stupid mistake and man up about it. Tell the world that you screwed up and caused someone’s death. Leftists don’t ever apologize though, do they? It’s always someone else’s fault. The same with their ongoing efforts to destroy the Western world. They engender genocide, wars and economic disaster but will never, ever admit they were wrong or apologize.

Maybe it’s just me but I found the Baldwin quote, “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about (the shooting)” pathetic. Since it only happened 73 days ago and accidentally shooting an innocent human being to death would seem a profoundly life-altering event Baldwin appears to suggest that 2 1/2 months of preoccupation is unusual; that it makes him some sort of tortured soul. He is a man who has a lot to learn but never will because he has lost all sense of himself and of proportion.
