Alec Baldwin accidentally kills a woman on set.


It was on set of his movie and they were using a prop gun. He shot and killed the cinematographer and injured the director. I can only imagine the guilt he must be feeling.

I would be furious that the prop was not a prop. Not sure how it happened. I'll wait for the conspiracy film.

reply

It may have been a prop, people have died from being hit by "blanks" at close range, including Brandon Lee, star of the cult classic "The Crow".

So people are supposed to be almost as careful with prop guns loaded with blanks as they have to be with real guns, and that's the big question. Baldwin is known to be an asshole with short temper, was he doing anything dangerous or inappropriate???

reply

Right people are supposed to be just as careful with props as real weapons. I don't think it was disclosed what exactly type of weapon it was, but I hope it wasn't pointed directly at someone. Maybe it wasn't since it did not hit an actor/actress? Lots of questions and will depend on what witnesses say. High profile actor so I doubt this will go anywhere.

Way to go, dumb ass!

And since he's a Leftard, the crooked MSM is already working overtime to play this down, and/or cover it up.

🤨

reply

It doesn't mean he's a dumb ass. You can't really know how it happened until an investigation takes place. Brandon Lee died from a poorly "assembled" prop gun.

reply


He was already a dumb ass.

My question is, why the hell was there a projectile in a prop firearm for a movie? Someone seriously screwed up here and should be held accountable.

reply


True dat.

🤨

reply

I have the same question.

reply

Read the details about the Brandon Lee case. I’m not saying that’s what happened here but it’s an instance where projectiles are used on movie sets.

reply

Same with Jon-Erik Hexum.

He was playing with a "prop" gun, put it to his head, and the force of a "blank" drove a piece of his skull into his brain: DEAD!

reply

He placed a blank to his head and pulled the trigger. The compressed forces and powder went into his temple and killed him. Had he had the muzzle a couple of feet from him that would not have happened. The Brandon Lee case was different. There was a lead bullet lodged in the barrel and a blank was fired which was like creating a muzzle loader. Brandon Lee was killed by a bullet. He very well could have been killed from a distance of 50’. The dude from silk stalkings was killed by gunpowder and compressed gassed.

The two cases are completely different. I don’t know what happened with Baldwin but two people were not struck by a blank. A projectile passed through one into the other or it was a shotgun shell.

reply

A woman is dead you jerk.

reply

Well none of us were there so we are just going by the news reports. But doesn't it strike you as being kind of suspicious. Of all the people the loud mouth bully boy Alec Baldwin who is always in the news for the wrong reasons accidentally shoots someone dead. It's a cynical news reporter's wet dream. I mean it couldn't have been brought about in some way or other, could it ? Has the world sunk that low ? Has the world always been that low ?

the stinkmati is behind it.

How much insensitive dumbassery can you get in one sentence!
loads it would seem


Its that not so secret society the leftards , using their global influence and power to protect their own and keep you right thinking magats down eh?

reply

actually, its you who are showing yourself to be a dumbass in this here thread, and generally.

the gun had a slug stuck in the barrel. when a blank was loaded, it discharged the stuck slug. a tragic accident.

accident - look up the meaning of the word.

reply


The corrupt MSM is in overdrive, asshole.

🤨

reply

you are more than a bit of a fool who rolls around the world with about 4 or 5 fixed ideas playing in your head.

but there is still hope - get your head out of your ass and broaden you mind. limbaugh is dead. get some new information sources that aren't stamped wingnutApproved.

yes, the MSM is irritatingly uber-woke. but don't use that GENERALIZATION to filter your observations of every event.

this was an A C C I D E N T, and AB's politics were not known by the gun that tragically killed these people. as for the circumstances, we don't know yet, and they may color our assessment. but you jumped before that. which is where being a tool/fool comes in.

my 2 cents on your horrible take. take it or leave it.

reply


Alec Baldwin now an honorary Stormtrooper.

leftards shoot people all the time on movie sets.

adjust your sarcasm filter :)

reply


Oh, okay. You corrected your typo!

😎

reply

too tough for you to figure out?

reply


I thought it was that, but I wanted to be sure.

reply

Obviously all prop guns should be replaced with pop guns and this sort of thing would never happen again.

reply

I guess they want that spark when it fires.

reply

Maybe they could set the cork on fire. Or stick a sparkler in it !

reply

Just add CGI.

reply

you wouldnt get the recoil then

reply

They can fake it with their hands. People don't get punched in the face for real in movies as well, but they do look like they did. It's called "acting."

reply

yeah i guess so . In fact i think i heard john wick was filmed with cgi 'fire'

reply

It is going to cost someone millions. If Alec Baldwin is a producer, he and the director could both be held financially responsible.

Ask John Landis, director of Twilight Zone: The Movie, where Vic Morrow and two children died in his segment.

reply

It costs someone a life.

reply

With John Landis though, he was informed that flying too close was dangerous but he ignored the warning.

reply

I've not heard of this before. Just looked it up on wiki. How has Landis remained in the industry after this?!

reply

I saw it on the front page of the NY Post website. Very sad.

reply

It doesn't help that the incident took place in Bonanza.

reply

That’s horrible. Are any of the sources saying if it was one projectile that struck both people?

reply

Are you implying that a magic bullet may have been involved !?

reply

It could be a ricochet.

reply

I think he's wondering if the gun wasnt accidentally loaded with live. cos I am
a blank hitting two people sounds unlikely.
or maybe he was firing several shots of blank?
we dont know as yet

reply

Do a search on how Brandon Lee was killed.

reply

yeah , by a blank at close range , i know

It just seems unlikely that a blank can kill one person *and* also hospitalise another

reply

It’s a little more complicated than that. The guy on the set of Silk Stalkings was killed by a blank at close range. Look up how Brandon Lee was killed. By an unfortunate chain of events it was basically a muzzle loader effect.

reply

Nothing yet. Even if Alec Baldwin is completely not at fault, I'm sure he'll still feel guilty.

reply

I read in an article that just firing blanks up close are quite dangerous as well. Rubber bullets can be fatal also

reply

Tragic.
