Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed Female Cinematographer, Injured Director on Movie Set




PAUL BOIS 21 Oct 2021

A tragedy occurred on the set of the latest Alec Baldwin movie where the actor reportedly accidentally shot and killed a female cinematographer and injured the director due to a prop gun misfire.

“Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a set in New Mexico on Thursday, accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza,” reported Variety.

Sources told Deadline, which initially reported that the incident occurred when Baldwin reportedly “cocked a gun during a rehearsal, unaware that there were live rounds in it, hitting two people, a man and a woman.” Representatives for Baldwin, a rabid anti-gun demagogue, did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.

Rule #2: Never let a MORON handle a firearm! Maybe we could get Biden, Harris, Milley, Blinken, Garland and Austin "cameos" in Alec Baldwin's new movie. I read they now have a couple of "openings"!

So many questions. Why aim, no less fire a prop gun at a cinematographer? When a guy who physically and emotionally abused women kills a younger woman you have to wonder if she spurned his advances? Was she wearing a MAGA hat?

Hardly not, he should have known that every gun is always loaded until proven wrong & never point any gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy plus be aware of your backstop. Had he done those 3 things, that woman wouldn’t be dead. Also there is the simple fact that he isn’t willing to put in the work to learn about guns.

Now the question is..do they lie and protect their "star" or do we find out the whole terrible truth of what this idiot did, pointing a gun, any gun, at another human being... one shot into two people? or two shots? WTH! why do they let those that cannot handle a firearm close to one!!! I don't care who hands you a gun and says it is empty... YOU check it yourself!! and NEVER point it where you don't plan on shooting! what a tragedy!! How can he even face the public after this... shameful!

He might be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter under part (B) of New Mexico Statutes § 30-2-3 (2018), which includes committing lawful acts "without due caution and circumspection."

But the corrupt NM judiciary will likely give him a pass due to his "extreme contrition".
