Alec Baldwin got to play his dream role last week, and unfortunately for an innocent woman, it was a method-acting version of Ted Kennedy. Now, you note that I am mocking a guy whose probable gross negligence killed a lady and maimed a man, and this raises an important question – do we really want to live in a world where our reaction to a tragedy caused by an enemy is not sorrow and compassion but mockery?
So Brain Dead Leftist Hollywood actor shoots two Lefty film workers.
Suits me fine. Give them all loaded guns and put them in a circle.
This comment needs removing. So do you.
Don’t be racist!
Probably was going to accuse him of sexual misconduct in some way and needed to be silenced…
Honestly, she shot herself by accident…hmmm, people wouldn’t believe this.
Ops, wrong narrative…I accidentally shot her. I’ve handled guns hundreds of times.
His violent reputation along with those crazy screaming calls to his daughter years ago, begs the question – why does everyone assume it was an accident?
Why would he have pointed the gun at the camera director? Let alone pull the trigger? When will we “learn” that the gun had a “hair trigger” and effectively fired itself … you know … like the argument made in the Kate Steinle murder?
As an actor, Baldwin might not have been cupable. He, like all actors in action movies, mostly just follows orders, depending on the technical crew to help him do things that look risky but are quite safe.
Baldwin is also, however, one of the producers, and it’s his responsibility to ensure that there are competent stunt and munitions experts on set.
“Cupable”
New word. Just made it up.
Cupable: capable of winning Lord Stanley’s trophy?
Or bra-ing a large-breasted woman… Ok… I’m ready to go to jail now, Officer!
Baldwin … as one of the Producers … had a different agenda. It is apparent he wanted to hire a very young inexperienced gun wrangler whose most demonstrable skill was “reverse cowgirl”. After all … there is a LOT of free time to kill on the set. If the star’s trailer is rocking, don’t bother knocking.
You get what you pay for.
Perhaps that’s why we have learned of people walking off this set in protest. Baldwin was hiring “professionals” in trades other than the advertised job description.
Death is the final answer.
The guy deserves all the scorn, mockery and ridicule that can possibly be mustered.
Its a sad tragedy. He can’t get away from it this time.
Though he will walk.
He will suffer from Tantalus effect, that he will be tortured for the rest of his life by his behavior.
Maybe not, there are those that are not affected by results of their actions.
” Maybe not, there are those that are not affected by results of their actions. ”
Sorta like OJ Simpson.
Yes, they are called psychopaths and sociopaths and Hollywood and politics are ripe with them. They have no shame or mercy, they believe in only themselves.
So I doubt that Mr. Baldwin will care once he is free of the threat of punishment.
And Ted Kennedy.
He seems to have escaped any and all consequences of his awful behavior. How? Why? Because he was a serial Trump-mocker. His Trump portrayals inoculated him from any consequences of his disgusting personality
After reading a ton of articles on this incident, one question remains unanswered: Why would you ever, ever, need live ammo on a movie set?
BTW, Baldwin deserves all the heat, scorn, abuse, guilt, lawsuits, whatever, that is thrown at him. If he would have taken a few firearms safety courses instead of preaching his anti-gun screed, there would likely have been one less dead person on the planet today.
Some have said the firearm that killed the woman is the same one the actors used to do a little plinking in the desert in their off hours.
If true…that ain’t gonna be good.
The firearm did not do any killing. The person pulling (accident or deliberately) the trigger did.
“Why would you ever, ever, need live ammo on a movie set?”
Why would anyone need a functioning gun on a movie set? Large chunks of many movies are produced on a computer.
Although you can reproduce guns on computer, it’s just not as realistic. The recoil’s effect on the human body, for example, is hard to fake, and some of those old western guns had a lot of recoil.
he should be charged with careless use of a firearm
That would be like fining someone for a taillight infraction for a DUI death.
So yeah, remember the wealthy have a different law system.
Bingo! He held the gun. He failed to clear it. He aimed it at another person and he pulled the trigger. Where are the manslaughter charges?
“he should be charged with careless use of a firearm”
The obvious charge is involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin didn’t clear the gun as standard practice demands and as a producer he hired a space cadet with big bits to handle firearms safety. Guilty on two counts. Two years in an orange jumpsuit would be good for Alec.
An absolute tragedy for the D of P and her family. As someone else said, Baldwin has killed more people than most legal gun owners in the US. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
I doubt there is a single living person on this planet that is more deserving of scorn and ridicule given the subject matter at hand than Alec Baldwin.
God does have a sense of humor.
“God does have a sense of humor.”
Not so much for the dead woman.
I’ll go with a stupid, stupid man, with no sense of anything but his own narcissistic personality pushing his stupidity on everyone else until it bit him and his victims in the ass.
Baldwin is fortunate in some respects, some on the right have laid off of him considerably but people like Michael Malice and others are giving him a thorough hammering and in my opinion it’s all deserved not to mention humorous and despite pleas to tone it down they are giving no quarter.
Quite frankly, I’m not sure what “we’re better than that” even means because in my mind I always reply with, “No I’m not”. I guess I could be a better person but the Left’s reaction to Justice Scalia and Rush Limbaugh’s death are still fresh on my mind.
And we’re not talking about a really nice individual here, he has some rather profound emotional issues and he directs it all to those on the right and what seems like 24-7. Would we react the same had this happened to another Hollywood leftist like, let’s say, Richard Dreyfus? I don’t think so, at least I wouldn’t.
This is a pretty good lesson to not constantly run your mouth off at those you disagree with because sometimes life gives you a good hard bite in the ass and Twitter is a mean, nasty bitch.
Rob Reiner should take note.
Don’t overthink this, burton. Of course you’re better than them.
“The best lack all conviction” is a warning, y’know.
“The best lack all conviction”
I’m gonna use that!!!!
“Quite frankly, I’m not sure what “we’re better than that” even means because in my mind I always reply with, “No I’m not”. I guess I could be a better person but the Left’s reaction to Justice Scalia and Rush Limbaugh’s death are still fresh on my mind.”
Yeppers. After putting up with the commie’s shit for years we’re all s’pose to take the high ground, forgive & forget, all that garbage. Screw that. They wanna go play in the sewer, fine. I’m that big-ass 200lb sewer rat with the glowing red eyes lurking in the shadows behind them.
Well then, you’re my brother.
Hello, brother.
We’ve got some work to do…
If Baldwin had advocated against gun safety protocols on movie sets and made PSA’s mocking the industry’s existing rules, or if he cut corners on his movie’s budget and coerced people into behaving unsafely, or if he posted anti-gun-safety memes on Facebook, or appeared in fake news interviews railing against those rules then he might deserve some mockery.
As far as I know, he did not.
At minimum he must be charged with voluntary manslaughter .
In civilian court he needs to be stripped of all his assets.
Right.
Rules are only for conservative pro Trump gun owners..
This lovely piece of work,constantly preaches “Gun Control” for the masses,yet cannot control a single firearm…
Classic Libtard.
Imagine,if you are capable,the world of pain ,shit and legal misery ,that would fall upon any Canadian PAL holder,who used the Baldwin Defence?.
I killed her,cause I am Stupid?
Oh thats gonna work.
Baldwin deserves all the scorn in the world,he is now a killer,committing a senseless act ,which he has consistently accused his political enemies of lusting to commit..Projecting his inner serial killer?
Just another Progressive Comrade.
If you think using prop guns on a movie set has anything to do with one’s views on gun regulation, you’re… well, I don’t know of a better way to put it. You’re just plain dumb.
And that’s why the linked article is stupid. It’s just more false equivalence and projection from the right, as per usual.
That’s nice, dear.
Run along, antiq.
The difference between a “prop gun” and a real gun,is?
Your stupidity does stagger me.
For it has been repeatedly made plain,that the movie industry uses real weapons,thus needing well trained and careful persons to handle this armoury/inventory..On every movie set making “Gun Stories”.
Fake guns or replicas are obviously all that Progressive Nitwits can be trusted to handle.
What. Are you defending?
Other than your own inadequacy?
“Must defend Libtard Icon”?
“Muh Feelingz”?
A prop gun is presumably never capable of injuring anyone, and certainly never intended to do so. The fact that they use modified real guns as props is irrelevant. Are you people really this dense or are you intentionally being stupid as you grasp at straws trying to own the libs?
You’re all coming off looking horrible, callous and dumb in your responses to this event.
You really are an idiot.
How do you manage to type?
Voice command?
“A prop gun is presumably never capable of injuring anyone, and certainly never intended to do so. ”
No. That’s pure conjecture. A replica can be a prop, a deactivated gun can be a prop or a perfectly functional regular firearm can be a prop. There are thousands of films where actors actually fire live ammunitions. All the more reasons not to be an entitled moron who believes that basic rules of gun safety apply only to little people.
Have you ever watched Terminator 2? The iconic lever action shotgun that Arnold was rocking was actually three different props, from a rubber replica to a fully functional gun. At one point during shooting of the film Arnold grabbed the wrong prop to do the signature reload and nearly broke his fingers.
Hmmm…I’m gonna say you and I live in different universes only because I don’t know anyone nor have I met anyone in my life who openly advocated for less stringent safety rules on work sites never mind gun safety. “Cutting corners” is a different matter entirely, I think we’ve all witnessed that. Shuttle disaster comes to mind.
If you don’t know that Baldwin is a piece of shit maybe you aren’t paying attention.
And there we have the difference. The left mocks the right when they are hoist by their own petard. The right mocks the left when something – anything bad happens to them.
You get what you get and you like it.
I am completely out of compassion for the left, and will enjoy watching them being forced to eat their own words
What did Baldwin ever say against prop gun safety rules on movie sets?
I’m sorry but you’re just too dumb to get it. And you never will.
Whatever you say Slick. Have your Jesus moment, I really don’t care. Don’t forget – I’m not the one who said a prop gun is presumably incapable of injuring anyone then in the very next sentence say “modified “real guns” as props are irrelevant”. Huh???
Irrelevant to everyone except the dead girl’s family apparently. Geez, a “prop gun” actually killing someone, by gosh, it’s almost like it was …wait for it…a real gun.
Just admit that you haven’t a fucking clue what you’re talking about and we’ll call it a day.
So tell me, what did Baldwin ever say about prop gun safety on movie sets that makes him deserve mockery?
You are incapable of answering the ONLY pertinent question here. ALL YOU HAVE is this brain-dead false equivalency. But apparently that’s good enough for you because you lack any kind of logical thinking ability.
The number one gun safety rule is this: You do not point any firearm – real, toy or otherwise – at anything you do not wish to shoot.
Baldwin blatantly broke that rule. There is no excuse trying to help weasel him out of that. Doesn’t matter if the prop firearm was real or fake. In this case it was a real firearm.
And yes, I have had my cap guns confiscated for pointing them at people.
I don’t laugh at our leftist friends and neighbours any more.
Not because they aren’t ridiculous but because swapping jokes about globalism over vodka is no substitute for resistance, and it’s been a long time since I found their antics amusing.
Yep, it’s WAY past time to treat all of this as a joke. Said as much many times at Wattsupwiththat, where you see the same thing.
Crush the Commies.
This is something that cannot be covered up with a Spanish accent.
It’s about the measure of what is right and wrong.
Whether it’s Baldwin or PM Leisure Suit Larry, the determination of guilt or innocence is determined by what their standard for malfeasance is when malfeasance occurs. Particularly if the perp is known far and wide for advocating violence or severe punishment for the malfeasance in question.
Baldwin has the point of view that people with guns are responsible for all the gun violence and should be punished for it.
His standard, not mine.
Just saying.
Well stated Joseph! +++
Leisure Suit Larry! I haven’t heard that name in a dog’s age! Good one.
“Nothing that resembles justice ever enters or leaves any courtroom in this country,”
Alec Baldwin after punching some guy over a parking spot a couple years ago.
No MOAR A.B. on SNL in Trumpsuit. +1
Time will tell if The Law does it’s thing to adminster justice upon the perpetrator.
Was there a moral difference, since everybody used guns, asks the moral illiterate? Yes. The other guys were Nazis and communists, and shooting them was a moral imperative because they were Nazis and communists. Our mean tweets are in the service of light, theirs are on the side of darkness.
Silly, silly, Mr. Schlichter … in the era of “moral relativism” … Communists are moral too! And by today’s standards … even MORE moral than capitalist pigs. Right? How can you call capitalist “greed” … the service of light?
Oh yeah … that little bit about personal liberty, freedom, and self-determination … Elsa the Lioness can be celebrated as “Born Free” … people? Not so much anymore.
I am not rejoicing that someone was killed or even that Alec Baldwin, the hypocritical blowhard, is quite possibly on the hook for this (but not because celebrities are too good for prison).
Could this shooting have been intentional?
Maybe.
Right now, it looks like an accident that could have been prevented were it not for an inexperienced armourer and a loud-mouthed producer.
Yes, I agree that taking delight in the schadenfreude is not the appropriate reaction to have, but there is another angle, and that is to seek out and demand justice be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
Their has to be some culpability here, and someone must be held accountable, and if justice isn’t merited because of one’s perceived ideology, then we will have lost even more faith in the justice system, which wasn’t much there to begin with.
