Alec Baldwin Insists He ‘Didn’t Pull the Trigger

[We Never Know]

So who pulled the trigger then?

An emotional Alec Baldwin told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he did not pull the trigger on the prop gun that fatally wounded cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust.”

In his first extensive interview regarding the fatal shooting that has rocked Hollywood for the past two months, Baldwin insisted that “the trigger wasn’t pulled” when a “live round” was discharged and ended up mortally wounding Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

Could be a hair trigger and it just got bumped, or something like that. I'm sure it's hard to process that you could have caused someone's death accidently, and the mind would look for a way to deny it or minimize your role in it. I can't imagine how hard that would be for someone. But he also may be remembering cleary, and his finger wasn't near the trigger. Dunno.

He had a single action revolver that he cocked.
(It wouldn't have fired otherwise.) Trigger pull
would be light, but significant. He'd must've
pulled it, but he might not remember.
He's clearly not skilled with guns. His finger
never should've been on the trigger.

I've heard there was no reason for him to have a gun on the set, real and loaded or as a prop.
So what was he doing with it? Playing around? Very careless.
Why was the gun there, especially one "prone to misfiring" as claimed?
Of course being a celebrity, who holds celebrities accountable.

I seriously doubt a gun can discharge by itself. I consider guns to be an inanimate object. My .357 Magnum is a very reliable device that shoots when I press the trigger, and it doesn’t shoot when I don’t press the trigger.” Hence, I am rather quite dubious of Baldwin’s claim he didn't pull the trigger.

It's even worse with Baldwin. He pulled the hammer
back to cock the gun. A single action gun won't fire
without first doing that. Then he pulled the trigger.
This bespeaks incredible incompetence. Such
people should never ever handle a gun of any kind.

I saw that clip and immediately thought he is in denial. Other posters have brought up possibilities, that being a single action with a sensitive trigger. The police will test this.

I've seen many films and shows that include guns being pointed at cameras. Baldwin is a professional, and with a long record of dealing with film crews. He has his work to focus on, and I suspect he trusted the armorer on the crew. It's their job to assure gun safety, and actors don't have to double check the work of other professionals.

How the bullet ended up in the gun will likely be revealed at some point. I don't see any reason why Baldwin is accountable for the death and injury.

Positioning his defense, sounds like.

It would be hilarious to see him try to re enact
it in court, how it just went bang all by itself.

I dont know guns but i can see a phony story.

He’s a lying Leftist.

Because he played trump lying?

Now it makes sense.

Do you agree or disagree that guns don't kill people, people kill people?

Guns don't kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people. ...

No, because the gun he was holding went off and he claims he didn’t pull the trigger.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Alec Baldwin is just another abusive Hollywood psychopath. He has a long history of violent and abusive behavior, and his behavior and bizarre interviews betray him as a narcissist (which means he will never take responsibility for anything). I don't believe anything he says.

Something like this call to his 11/12 year old daughter...

I chose to not judge him and if he did do it, a judge will give him a sentencing when the trail has been done.

Wasn't that on a film set? Weren't the cameras rolling?

It was on a movie set. Whether or not if the camera's were rolling , I don't know.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Considering this isn't Hollywood's first accidental gun death, why does a world where everything else is fake still needlessly expose itself to these risks?
Seems to me there is some collective guilt.

 

[Mock Turtle]

Presumably the gun cannot be fired with the hammer half-cocked and released - given that the action revolves the barrel at the same time?
