Alec didn’t check his gun. He was one of the producers! You never point a gun at anyone and Alec knows this. He just covering his butt by blaming a young woman who was brought on into set because everyone walked out of the movie because Alec was not doing his job. Now Alec says he did not pull the trigger, which is a lie. Hollywood can get over themselves. You would let a murderer go because he is a big liberal who thinks they can break laws and nothing will happen to them. I hope he has so sit in jail. He deserves a couple of years just for being a scum bag.
Totally agree a nasty piece of work who thinks he ia above the law !!!
Alec Baldwin is a monster ego inside a worthless, hollow bag of crap. Hollywood–WE HATE YOU!
I think Baldwin needs to get at least 20 years in the pen. Guns do not just fire on their own, someone has to operate them. Everyone tries to blame them but they are just tools. When you use them the wrong way they are dangerous.
The buck has to stop with Alec Baldwin. He’s one of the producers, therefore he is responsible for the actions of everyone on the set. Regardless of the outcome of the trial for now the judge’s ruling has put Hollywood on notice. Someone must be held accountable and I hope Alec Baldwin is found guilty and sent to prison. It’s a tragic and hypocritical irony as much as Hollywood liberals talk about gun control they don’t seem to have a problem making films with people shooting each other or getting people to participate in the making of such films.
From the time you’re a little kid, you’re taught to never point a gun at anybody -loaded or not… AND….even toy guns! Baldwin needs to suffer the consequences of his actions. I must add, however, that if he goes to jail for 18 months, I, personally, won’t miss him one bit! :O
I would say with much confidence that the statement, “the world will be watching” and “the world will be holding its breath” is an absurdly over-blown reference to this very tragic incident.
While there are without a doubt many who are interested in and who will follow the future proceedings closely, there are certainly many more whom I am sure do not exactly have this subject at the top of their priority list.
Also, when referencing the “world” as a whole, I would expect that the vast majority of its inhabitants have probably never even heard of Mr. Baldwin!
HA!!! At least he’ll have good commissary money!!!
