Doesn't matter, someone loaded that prop gun, someone put real bullets in in it and it wasn't Alec Baldwin, the person that put the real bullets in it ought to be charged with premeditated first degree murder because that's what it was. I'll bet no one but the prop people checks those prop guns before they're used and the person that put the real bullets in that one knew it. I just think the person that died was not the intended victim. So, there should also be a second charge of premeditated first degree attempted murder, because the obvious target was really the person that gun was supposed to be fired at to begin with.
The point is Alec was holding the gun, and it didn't just go off by itself. I don't understand why the gun was pointed in the Hutchins lady Cinematographer's direction.
RULE #1 with guns... NEVER POINT at something you DO NOT intend to SHOOT!
See, everyone who handles a gun has a duty to check the gun for themselves to make sure it is safe. One of the first rules of gun safety is that if someone hands you a gun and says it is not loaded, you check for yourself. You always treat a unloaded gun like it is loaded. If Baldwin had take two minutes to do so, he would have found the live round and a young mother would not have lost her life. Furthermore, the girl who was the armorer was inexperienced and had no business holding that job. She is being charged along with Alec Baldwin. The gun was in his hand, and he was recklessly handling it and he killed a woman. He is as responsible even if he didn't intend to kill anyone. It was involuntary manslaughter for both him and the armorer. I don't think he will serve any jail time. But I believe the armorer will because she is not a high-powered public figure like Alec Baldwin.
I don't think he realized he was pointing at her. It appears to me that he was absent-mindedly playing with the trigger, and it went off and just happened to be pointed in her direction. If Baldwin had invested in an 8-hour gun safety course for the crew and the actors on set, and had hired a professional armorer, this might have never happened.
How do we know he wasn't the one who put the real bullet (s) in the gun ?
Why would Alec Baldwin risk his family with 8 children and his career to plan a murder? That is just plain stupid to know he would be going to jail. If he did plan this, do you think Hutchins was who he planned to kill? Haven't heard any proof of fingerprints found on the bullet.
The very first thing my dad told me when he was teaching me gun safety and how to shoot a gun. I was 5 years old at the time and he was bringing home his service gun, he was a prison guard, and although he kept it locked up, he still made sure I knew it wasn't a toy and the serious or fatal harm it could cause. It made such an impression on me that I didn't pick up another gun to shoot until a few years ago when I took the NRA's firearm training course to get my CCW license. What Baldwin and the so-called Armorer did was absolutely irresponsible.
If he hasn't been ruled out he should still be a suspect.
Because that's not how film sets work
Someone dying isn't how film sets work, but we are past that point on how they are suppose to work.
Alec Baldwin is the producer of the movie Rust, and he was the actor that played the leading part Rust.
What if it wasn't an " accident " ?
