I think its a complete cluster fuck production wise and Baldwin just happened to be the one left with the smoking gun. I can't see how he can be held responsible for anything and from his angle it's clearly an accident with no intent.

If he's pulled the trigger he's done it jokingly maybe.

Fuck knows how this will play out.

most of you seem to have no basic gun safety knowledge. i doubt the ones saying he is not responsible have held a gun let alone fired one. you always check a gun yourself. & guns don't fire unless the trigger is pulled unless they are dysfunctional. jokingly pulling the trigger without having checked the weapon yourself is irresponsible

No I have little gun knowledge I admit.

And no idea about blanks other than the scene in die hard 2 with the fake swat team firing them all over the place and seemingly missing everyone.

All I know is I've seen Baldwin speak after the incident... and he doesn't sound like I would, had it been me who accidentally shot and killed someone.

I've heard both sides of the argument.... and most agree Baldwin shouldn't be criminally charged, but....

No way I can understand someone who is handed a functional gun as part of a movie production, and doesn't make damn sure the gun isn't loaded.

He may or may have not pulled the trigger. Who knows. That part is for the firearm experts to figure out.

But the fact of the matter is that the gun went off while in Baldwin's hand and it killed someone.

If it were ME... I'd feel personally responsible.



On another note, what kind of sloppy, chickenshit industry uses functional guns and live ammo in movie production... allowing total amateurs to handle lethal weapons all for the sake of a damn movie scene?

Sounds like something made up... but unfortunately it really happened.

A woman is DEAD. Someone needs to pay the consequences.

Bruce Lee son was killed in similar circumstances.

This

And yes it does sound like something made up. Something Angela Lansbury would investigate

From what I gather live ammo has never knowingly been allowed or used on a set that's what makes this one so baffling. Blanks with no actual bullet sure. It's actually amazing that given Hollywood's long long history of producing Tv and film westerns and war time flicks this and Lees case with a fragment lodged in barrel are isolated incidents. If anything this needs to strip down and boost up better regulations and professional scrutiny. Maybe from an outside source with zero care in budget cuts from Directors and Producers. I just cannot see Harry Callahan using a rubber .44

What they need to do is clean up their act, or go back to this.....
