Alec Baldwin WTF

[PassTheDutchie]

Sheriff says everything on the table.

"I’d be careful using the word ‘accident,’" said Sante Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."

"This is obviously a tragedy and it was avoidable, so right now it’s a criminal investigation."

And Hannah Gutierrez Reed, Assistant Director David Halls, and Alex Baldwin have lawyered up.

Who in their right mind, regardless of culpability, wouldn't be "lawyered up" in these circumstances?

And I was about to ask how a Canoodler such as yourself finds himself within 5 feet of an armed robbery? Is that the kind of shit that goes down in your country?

really high one night so on a munched out whim I whip into the giant burger, an old style drive-in, one building with just a little order window, pull in at high speed to within 4 ft of the cashiers window driving an old cab-over van so I am right in front of the order window. I turn off off led zepplin and look up, I notice 4 ft in front of me a guy is holding the place up with a revolver, turn led zepplin back on, act like nothing is going on, I sure as hell can't leave now so when buddy the criminal leaves go up and order a cheesburgr

I am not holding any MJ at this point so not worried, just keep acting cool man but I know there will be police really soon, sure enough 5 police cars show up, I get out of the van & stand in the middle of the lot with my hands out of my pockets to meet the RCMP, cars zipping all around me with the light show, 2 plain clothes guys in a ghost car skid up in front of me, one guy jumps out and grabs me so I put my hands up and say in my best Cheech Marin voice " I'm innocent man " and he almost laughs

the cashier leans out the order window an sez " not him, he's just getting a cheese burger "

so to answer your question ... i was hungry man

This is the reason for our current situation. People commenting on things without even reading them.

Why would a sheriff be on Fox & Friends commenting on an open case?

Because [emoji631]

Best one I've seen is a theory that it was a Trump conspiracy to put the loaded gun in the set as payback for Baldwin being an Anti-Trumper.

Best one I've seen is a theory that it was a Giuliani/Gaetz conspiracy to put the loaded gun in the set as payback for Baldwin being an Anti-Trumper, but mostly to get Trump Russian funding for their Venmo child prostitution cabal and secret fleet of Imperial destroyers.

Not saying this is what you were implying - but two things I find incredibly annoying in modern times are the ideas that 1) when someone is suing someone else the sued party must be guilty of something (see Trump and the response he gets when he says he’s gonna sue someone - his fans react like he’s already won the suit and stuck it to the other party) and 2) when someone retains a lawyer (“they’ve lawyered up!”) they must be guilty/have something to hide.

Shit - everyone on set that day down to the guy clearing plates in the food tent has probably spoke to a lawyer. That fact is meaningless. It would be incredibly stupid for Baldwin to not “lawyer up”.

There's much dodging of the primary failure. Baldwin pointed a gun at humans (and pulled the trigger). I'm around guns very rarely and don't know shit about them. However, we all know you never point a gun at a human, and only shoot things we intend to kill (usually targets). Baldwin violated both prime rules. His responsibility to be damn sure he had a good reason for each of those violations. He shot two humans, killing one. That's the main story here.

As for the secondary responsibility, some of it properly falls up the line, on those driving the budget pressure. Perhaps most of it. Sadly they'll never be charged.

Primary failure is that there was a weapon capable of firing a bullet/blank wad on the set. Eliminate that and this never happens.

Secondary is the humans involved.

Next time your watch John Wick, try to count how many times guns were pointed at other humans. Some of it is camera angles, but almost any action blaster movie will inevitable have a gun pointed in the direction of another person. I’m sure they’re getting better at faking the angles like punches in a boxing movie.

The most surprising thing to me is that in 100 plus years of actors pointing guns at ea other there have only been a handful of serious injuries /deaths

[XXX-er]

I'm pretty sure pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger was in the script

some movies have literally hundreds of guns but for some reason this armorer lost control of 1 gun

Lawyering up. Pretty much a basic right under the constitution.

Think of the interrogation as a series of "when did you stop beating your wife" questions. "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

Represented a fellow who thought it was a good idea to take a polygraph despite my repeated advice against. Polygraphs are supposed to be a series of about 8 questions in a very controlled manner. An hour later he was still in the booth getting grilled and saying stupid stuff.

Baldwin was being paid to point a gun at/near people and pull the trigger. The “violation” you are describing happens on every set that includes an unholstered gun.

Loony conspiracy theories aside, if you're an armorer and you lose control of one gun, you've lost control of all of them.

Trump laughing his ass off somewhere.

And that says something about a man, that he would take delight in an event that got someone killed.

[toast2266]

Baldwin "lawyering up" implies that he didn't have a lawyer, and now he does.

I'm guessing a guy like Baldwin has a lawyer on retainer at all times. Although to be fair, he's probably adding some fresh faces to his legal team these days.

The whole "plinking" thing still annoys me. Maybe they should only allow crew members to go do recreational shooting during breaks when it's a romantic comedy or a teen coming-of-age drama; then, if a loaded gun finds its way onto the set, everyone will be "holy shit! there's a goddamn GUN in here! everybody stop what you're doing and keep your eye on it until it's taken care of!!" Whereas in a film like Rust, hey whatever it's just a prop.

But no, I was reading that they were in the desert, so of course everybody expects to go plinking at every opportunity. Really? I was in the desert just last weekend, Panamint Valley. I had a great time, and the only plinking I did involved dampening small patches of ground.

[muted reborn]

I'm not paying close attention to every news release but the plinking story has not been proved as fact by any reputable news source, it's a rumor that may have come from other crew members using personal guns to plink some other time.

Ot it might be true and already proven as fact and I'm wrong.

Agreed, but that is if it's true. SO much floating around in the rumor mill, that it's going to take a lengthy investigation and ensuing court case to flesh out what is hopefully the truth.

HOWEVER, if the stories surrounding crew members shooting the gun for fun earlier are indeed true, then that's a pretty huge WTF moment. I love shooting guns as much as the next guy, but if there's a freaking film production going on, then actual shooting has zero business being anywhere remotely close to the site. Let alone doing it with "props." /captainobvious

The main story here is that you've somehow gone through life without ever seeing a single movie or tv show with firearms. That's impressive. Nicely done.
