Alec Baldwin WTF

[Meadow Skipper]

NONE of you know jack shit about what happened there that day or the night before. We're ALL speculating…

Nope.

Nope +1. Pay attention ffs.

[bobz]

I didn't click the link, but still, not sure what the issue is with Baldwin being seen at a fancy restaurant. For someone of his means, eating at a high-end restaurant is roughly equivalent to me getting some pinto beans out of the freezer.

Yep, bunch of speculation. FWIW, the armor and her lawyer released a statement claiming the gun was locked up when not on the set for a scene needing it.

When the crew broke for lunch, the guns used for filming were locked in a safe inside the props storage truck, Gutierrez Reed said. The ammunition, however, was left unsecured on a cart. There was additional ammo inside the prop truck.

After lunch, the film’s prop master, Sarah Zachry, removed the guns from the safe and handed them to Gutierrez Reed — Gutierrez Reed told investigators.

Speculation below..

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.

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

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

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

What if you don’t have your own 1880’s replica wheel gun. And you the star and producer of the movie. Who else could get their hands on it ?

How many people on set do you think could get the armoror to hand over the pistols for some live fire fun?

Based on reports of Baldwin's arrogance and domineering presence on the set, I suspect if Baldwin demanded that the 24 year old armor hand over a plinking pistol, it happened.

You put pinto beans in your freezer? WTF?

[bobz]

Yeah, I cook pintos (and garbanzos, sometimes blacks) 4 lbs (dry) at a time, and freeze a bunch of portions, which I can remove and thaw out whenever. Tastes far better than canned, and sticking a baggie of frozen pintos in the fridge takes far less time than cooking some up from dry.

some people don't like him so he must be guilty of something

[MTT]

I wonder how many people have a key to the locker? 2 maybe 3 people?

She seems to be saying I had nothing to do with this

The boolets got in there by magic. And I don’t think her attorney is suggesting that

Use some common sense and narrow down the possibilities

The was definitely plinking going on. Live round were intentionally being used in the gun

The gun was definitely for Alex Baldwin in the movie

A live round was definitely in the gun when it was handed to him

He definitely drew cocked aimed at the woman behind the camera and pulled the trigger?

We’re still waiting on the details of exactly who when and where. People will talk. They already are

I need to prepare for the zombie apocalypse tomorrow morning. . Big long day of competition pew pew

You realize the only other explanation is that someone on set intentionally thumbed live round (s) into the weapon on set when no one was looking?

Are you unaware that beans are better after being frozen and reheated? Hmph, philistine!

Obviously a man of knowledge and culture.

[Rasputin]

Why are you suggesting he aimed at her? It hit the director in the shoulder first. It was reported that he was directed to point the gun toward the camera.

Speculation is one thing, assertion is another.

[neufox47]

So the armorer took the gun out of the safe and didn’t check if it was loaded then pronounced it a cold gun? Brilliant incoherent ramble.

It’s not even like there was supposed to be a blank in it, it was supposed to be empty.

Respectfully no. What was left of the slug was removed from the director’s shoulder. I can only speculate on what the bullet hit after hitting her but they are talking about her being paralyzed before she passed. That would suggest it traveled though her hitting her spine

45 colt is a brutal round. Heavy and kinda fast

I just keep watching and stringing together what makes sense

When the story came out I did speculate about what probably happened. As the facts are reported. It’s going the way it had to be. Even though the primaries have lawyered up. There were a lot of people around. Not to mention disgruntled people who are not looking to cover up for anyone

I’m looking at the Tim Pool stuff more than anything. He ha a bunch of investigative reporters and fact checkers. He has not disclosed that much but enough

[bennymac]

I don’t really care about the story - I’m just here for the firearm safety advice from MTT.

[Cono Este]

I don’t care what Alec did, or did not do, he was in the Hunt for Red October and his daughter is a Tiger.

I watched the presser mid day when they said that.. It was then that I finally accepted the fact that it wasn't a fractured wad and a REAL bullet. I like to give folks benefit of doubt in situations like this. but... whoever brought the real bullets to the site is the cause of all of this. Everyone who knew about them is just as guilty or more than the people who passed the gun to others saying it was cold without checking it. Call it speculation. Disagree.. Whatever. It's just chit chat until we know more about who bright the bullets and who played with the gun (assuming that happened, sure seems like it did if there were bullets in it).

[Kinnikinnick]

Whole lotta stupid that could be solved by reading.

But there you go

This is the most important thing I have learned from this thread. Got a rainy weekend here and will definitely be making a whole bunch of beans.

Thanks!

Same. LOL.

[XXX-er]

how/why were there real bullets on a movie site where guns would be used in shooting scenes ?

Gun safety ? This was a movie set where the idea was TO shoot a gun at someone

The idea was also to not kill them

so why did the armorer fail to find the real bullets which shouldn't have been there ?

I'm pretty sure Alex Baldwin being perceived as a dick has nothing to do with this movie accident ?

where is Colombo anyway, when he shows up it will be solved in < an hr

[krp8128]

Who the fuck is Alex Baldwin?

[Core Shot]

Who the fuck is Alex Baldwin?

Alec’s doppelgänger

[XXX-er]

its really Alexis cuz he is probably trans and that rumor will go viral cuz everyone hates him

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

I'm pretty sure this thread has the highest number of people on ignore than any I've ever been involved with.

[mcski]

Lol. Also, whenever I see your handle it reminds me of why the hell was there a fertilizer commercial being broadcast in LA?

Edit to add: now knee deep in the bandini googlefoo. The commercials were great but I had know idea that the abandoned bandini mountain existed so long.

[powdrhound]

Now I want to read a Bandini Mountain trip report.
