Actor Alec Baldwin Being Sued

[Hang on Sloopy]

sued Baldwin, as well as armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, assistant director David Halls, and others for negligence due the tragedy,
---------------------------------

its the armorer's fault.

I wish it would have been his daughter who was the camera person. Now that would have been justice..You know that spoiled little pig....that ungrateful brat................

If he is really sorry he should put a team of surgeons on notice and take his own life and harvest his organs so others could live...A real man would do that

Special note.You libturds cause so much God Damned pain and suffering to those around you....... GD you fucking people

I had to do some research, and the following facts came to light.
1) Alec Baldwin was practicing a cross draw, where he pulled the gun from a holster on his left side, sweeping the across his line of sight.
2) While practicing this, the gun went off
3) Assistant director Hall handed Baldwin the gun, announcing it as "cold gun"

"A cold gun would be totally unloaded, nothing in it," said Zanoff. "A hot gun would be one loaded with a blank and ready to do gunfire. The guns should not get loaded until the first [assistant director] directs the armorer to load the specific gun.

From this I would say that the armorer was at fault, for providing the assistant director with not just a "hot gun", but one with a live round. Secondly the weapon, a colt peacemaker, is not recommended to "dry fire" the weapon, meaning you can damage the gun by the firing pin / hammer striking metal on metal.

Right or wrong, I imagine the armor would have put "snap caps" into the weapons to allow the actors to practice with them. And would inspection of the weapon have revealed there was a live round instead of a snap cap?

From Amazon:
45 Long Colt Snap Caps Peacemaker .45 LC Winchester Cowboy (6X w/Rubber Inserts) Price: $19.99

Can you tell the difference?

The average Joe who hasn't had extensive training or a job title that requires the knowledge to tell the difference yes probably wouldn't no, so it all comes back to everyone should have been trained that handled the weapon, and then ultimately it comes down to the process of figuring out who carries the most negligence even if it ends up being the last person who "fired" the weapon. That person himself being the one who would be pulling the trigger, should have double checked the weapon by confirming that it's not loaded what so ever with any live rounds or a live round before firing it.....

If it is that the person called "Baldwin" was trained, and then he is deemed partly responsible for the accidental death and injury towards others, and all because of this accidental act that was committed by Baldwin accidentally, then so be it.

Other's in the chain might carry the same weight of the burden if the case is deemed an accidental negligent homicide due to the break down of the chain of custody by trained staff, otherwise resulting in the death and injuries of others due to the breakdown in the chain of custody over the weapon being used correct ??

What's that got to do with anything ??? Husband's and wives or best friend's are supposed to be besties, yet they go at each other for a myriad of reason's, and the prison's are full of those who thought perp and victim were besties. So it's more like open your investigative mind boy, and think like an investigator covering all the angles always.

Your theory is just goofy - Sorry

OR, if you want to travel down this road, then it could have also been a way to off someone by making it look like an accident. So the other question is - Did Baldwin have any issues with the photographer that were known about or maybe unknown about, and could or might surface in the coming months or years ??

Did someone say that the woman had a book coming out ??? Follow the trails, and the hypothetical culprit's might just mess up sooner or later.

All possible.
Excuse me for not getting into this with you right now. I have too much on my plate already to spend the time researching details.

 

[Concerned American]

But the question of him being set up by somebody purposely loading the gun is still a valid question.

If he had checked the gun, following basic gun safety protocols, it never would have happened. He should be jailed for negligent homicide.

If the law ever starts listening to the advise of snarling teenage pissants, the country will be in much more serious trouble! I'll energize you in a few days when that wears off. quack!

You are a fucking moron with no concept of the US legal system. We don't have socialist assholes trying to justify the stupidity of a careless person because he is a socialist asshole. He pulled the trigger without ensuring the weapon was safe. He is guilty of negligent homicide, any other issue is just noise. Now STFU and go suck Justin some more canuck.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

I'm still not completely a hundred percent sure what to think about this story, as I think he should have known better to check the gun before firing it, but I still don't think that he meant to hurt anybody,.. let alone kill them.

Alec and other producers are being accused of "negligence."

He intentionally (negligently?) didn't follow the first rule of gun safety.

He intentionally (negligently?) didn't educate himself on the cardinal rules of gun safety.

He's not just civilly liable, he's criminally liable.

This is negligent homicide, just like if it was a commoner that did it

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

You call it a terrible accident which MANY people are going to settle via civil suits.

When that level of negligence kills someone, it's negligent homicide. And there was serious fuckin negligence going on when Baldwin capped those two people.

What reason did this idiot have for pointing a REAL GUN at another human being?

What reason did this idiot have for pointing a REAL GUN at another human being?

He probably was either acting or fooling around, either way you look at it as other people have already pointed out on here he was negligent.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I hope Baldwin pays bigly for his criminal negligence. And I hope this belligerent bully never sets foot in
front of a camera again.

I’m fairly certain that he did not intentionally kill the woman. This was strictly an act of negligence. Negligence can be a criminal too.

There’s no such thing as a gun accident. It’s an act of negligence. Negligence isn’t an accident.

Of course he intentionally pulled the trigger. It’s not like he had a seizure and couldn’t control his body. I don’t believe he had the intent of shooting the woman.

---------------------------------

It depends on if the live round looked like a harmless round. I saw a comparison somewhere that showed live rounds and 'dummy' rounds side by side and hey looked very similar. If the rounds look the same or very similar, then, IMO, Baldwin would not be at fault because he is not a firearm expert and even if he personally checked the firearm he might not be able to identify the live round. IF there is a significant difference, then, IMO, Baldwin bears some responsibility. BTW I don't care much for Baldwin.

The shooter is responsible for the safe handling of the firearm. Had he done that he could have seen whether the rounds in the chamber were live, dummies or blanks. He was negligent.

The only question is whether or not that negligence is criminal.

So, you are saying there is a significant difference between a live round and a dummy and that difference can be identified by checking the chamber before firing. If that was the case then Baldwin would be guilty and I agree. I was just thinking that these days the thinnest defense sometimes is victorious in the current legal climate.

The armored didn’t fire the gun.

Who was the safety officer? Who was the one to ensure live rounds were not commingled with blank rounds? Who prepped the gun for the scene? Whoever that is could also be facing future criminal charges.

That still doesn’t relieve the shooter from responsibility. Ultimately Baldwin is the responsible person.
