Baldwin ‘doesn’t feel guilty’, assumed gun was safe

Alec Baldwin says he doesn’t feel guilt over shooting on the set of his Western movieIn an emotional television interview on Friday AEDT, Baldwin said he assumed the gun he was holding was empty of live bullets before it went off and killed a cinematographer during a rehearsal last month.The actor also said he did not see any safety issues on the set before the accident.

“We both assumed the gun was empty other than those, you know, dummy rounds,” Baldwin told ABC television’s George Stephanopoulos in his first public comments about the October 21 shooting. The actor had been handed the gun by a crew member and told it was safe.“I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them,” Baldwin said. “The notion there was a live round in that gun did not dawn on me until about 45 minutes later.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded when the gun fired off a live bullet.No criminal charges have been filed, but two crew members have filed civil lawsuits accusing Baldwin, the producers and others of negligence and lax safety protocols.Santa Fe authorities are focusing on how a live bullet, rather than a blank, ended up in the gun and how live rounds got onto the set at the Bonanza Creek Ranch.

This firearm was a single action pistol meaning you have to cock the hammer and pull the trigger it is impossible for it to just go off this is a fact , so what they are say is a lie he had to had cocked the hammer which is one stage of firing the firearm

What a stupid arguement. Guns don't fire themselves. He did pull the trigger

He still should have checked it. Besides surely he knows if you are fooling around with a gun , you do not point it at anyone.

so assume it safe and then point it at her and pull the trigger ( or as he now lies he pulled the hammer back ) .

Duty of Care … will change your mind

A ‘balling out’ by my teams leading architect, was never to assume a measurement, in collating distances within a building. 55 years on, my ears still burn, remembering the incident, in front of colleagues. His words; “Never ever assume a measurement, check & double check!”.

Lol this is white privilege - dude killed someone in toxic work environment and get away with it !

Of course not! He's not guilty, but he is devastated, as we would all be.

Alec you sick fuck

nope. that's not how any of this is gonna work anymore...

Classless

There is a difference between feeling guilty and feeling bad

That doesn’t sound good

I’d feel awful likely including guilt no matter an accident

Typical white male.

Pig, confess

He should not feel guilty. It was a horrific accident. Find out who brought the live ammo to the set then let's talk. These families have been put through enough, put them in your prayers HalynaHutchins AlecBaldwin joelsouza

He should really stop talking , he keeps incriminating himself even more by the day Rule number 1: Treat a gun as if it is loaded at all times. Rule number 2: Remember rule 1. If you are weapons trained you assume all weapons are loaded and can kill you. 'I assume a weapon is not loaded' is not a defence I am pretty sure the weapons rules that the SAG have state never point any weapon at someone.

Tennis' 'huge' $1 billion Peng Shuai boycottThe WTA has pulled all of its tournaments from China and Hong Kong in response to the ongoing situation with Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai. 9News This is geopolitical nonsense. The woman isn't missing. Photos, videos and a half hour interview with an international sporting body have been seen. This is a massive beat up, designed purely to try to discredit China in the lead up to their winter Olympics. A new low.. Adult_Human2 I'm boycotting Australian products (in Canada) until Australia rediscovers the rule of law. It seems that she is living a happy and safe life that disappoints all countries, organizations and individuals that are hostile to China. Because what these despicable anti-Chinese clowns want to see is Peng Shuai's body. This is shameful!
