What are your thoughts on Alec Baldwin being charged for the death of Halyna Hutchins?


This is going to sound far fetched, but hear me out. Baldwin and the woman he shot were having an affair. He promised her he would leave his wife for her, but it never happens. She threatens to tell his wife. Now Baldwin has the perfect opportunity to kill her in front of witnesses, and half the nation rallies to his defense. "Hey, the gun person checked the gun, and besides Alec isn't as smart as any cub scout that would have checked the gun." So it's the perfect murder.
But the gun person checked it, so how is it possible for a bullet could get in the gun? You don't exactly have to be Harry Houdini to put a bullet in a gun. I knew how to do it when I was 8 years old. And why was he pointing the gun at her? Was she one of the cowgirls in the scene? And he showed no remorse, and took his family on vacation. Could you go on vacation after you just killed your "friend?" I remember right after this happened, Alec said: "But her and I just had dinner last night." What the fuck does that have to do with anything, and why did he say it? Was he trying to paint a picture that he would never kill someone he just had dinner with the night before?
Something's rotten in Denmark.
Far fetched for sure, but not unheard of. As for “why” he might point a gun in her general direction, if the scene requires him to point the firearm directly at the camera, she would likely be in the line of fire as a cinematographer. The story suggests he was rehearsing. She might not even have been behind the camera and protective glasses used to insulate cinematographers and camera operators from firearms projectiles. It was almost certainly a mistake, but an easily avoidable mistake for which someone must pay.
That's true about the camera angle thing. I know a guy who drove drunk and killed a bicycle rider. He got 12 years for that. He didn't set out to kill anyone, and you could chalk that up to an accident, but he was negligent, just like Alec.
I don't like him but I think it's ridiculous that he is responsible for her murder. He is not an expert on guns and thought the bullet in the gun was a blank. Who ever put the live round in the gun is responsible and guilty.
I think this is the direction the trials will go. Problem is that it’s Baldwin’s production. So he hired the gun handlers who handed him a loaded weapon. He can’t and shouldn’t escape accountability entirely.
That’s not entirely true. There is criminal responsibility there if malice or criminal indifference can be suggested, and it definitely can be. We won’t know for certain whether what you suggest is true until after the criminal trial. You assume too much.
That would be if he hired them to intentionally sabotage the gun which I don't think there is evidence of that. I do think the production was made cheaply and he and the other producers (He is one of several) cut back on many areas of the movie production and they are civilly responsible for that.
He's being charged with manslaughter, while Kyle rittenhouse, a BOY, who literally went out and caused chaos, just to cause chaos, is walking free, because well, republicanism right
by the way, I bet you alec baldwin was set up, by some pro trump ass
Much ado about nothing as he's too rich and White to face charges.
It will be his non-White armourer who will false the full extent of the law.
Dude, he has literally BEEN CHARGED, and you’re saying “He’s too rich and white to face charges”? How high are you?

Under New Mexico Law it completely fits the statute. That said, from what I've heard I would not be surprised if he gets acquitted. His defense team, if competent, should be able to create reasonable doubt on at least one of the four required elements.
THAT'S NUTS!! What about that Prop gun Mistress? She's the one who Fed up!
She is being charged for the same crimes.
SHE should serve time, NOT Alec!
No when you have a gun in your hand it is YOUR responsibility to ensure it is safe. Every responsible gun owners that show gun to friends first check the gun is unloaded then hand it with the action open to the other person then the other person also checks that it’s unloaded. You know nothing of firearm safety or etiquette. Keep your mouth shut. Typical libera that doesn’t want to punish the one that pulled the trigger
While I appreciate what you're saying YOU are NOT invited to respond on my comment, A-hole!
While the personal attack is obviously unnecessary, he’s not wrong. Neither are you. It’s important to recognize that the film is Baldwin’s production. So HE hired the people that handed him a firearm with at least one live round in it. He cannot, and should not escape accountability by any reasonable standard. Even if he’s never handled a firearm in his life, ESPECIALLY if that’s true, he should have hired only the best of the best to make sure these kinds of mistakes don’t happen. A good armorer hands you a weapon loaded only with blanks. A great one teaches you how to treat every firearm like it’s a deadly weapon all of the time.
@Chazmatazz269. If such is the case, I agree with you and thank you for the clarification.
Reminds me of Brandon Lee back in the early 90's
Both being charged is entirely appropriate.
Yeah, but i suspect he’s not a gun owner, let alone a responsible one. So he either doesn’t know that fundamental rule, or he doesn’t care. Either way, unless someone can prove Baldwin brought the live ammunition to the set himself, that is definitely on the armorer. He bears the lion’s share of the responsibility anyway because he hired the armorer. Regardless, they are both responsible.
Yes, BUT, a firearm was in HIS hand, discharged, and someone died. This is the definition of "involuntary" manslaughter.
How could you possibly prove that he did or didn't have a single round in his pocket?
Juries don’t convict on facts. They convict on feelings. Remember that OJ got off? He didn’t see “justice” until civil court. You share the internet with all of the same people who are eligible to serve on a jury. Ell oh ell! Definitions and proof are irrelevant in the US.
Jury duty is one of the dumbest things ever invented. They say it's your civic duty to go there and lose money from your job. Hmmm. Why doesn't the judge work for free? Juries should be paid professionals, and not idiots online that say: "What does it mean when a guy says you're pretty?"
@Gummy_Cluster You are a damn fool.
The jury system was created to keep the government from arbitrarily arresting/convicting people.
Involuntarily manslaughter is a thing?
It’s about time
