Yup... Ergo, he's one 'who is above the law'....as per our weasel-faced AG...

He’ll skate on charges. Don’t think he will be able to avoid the wrongful death suit sure to come now.

Can anyone explain how "pulling back the hammer and letting it go" while pointing the gun at someone's heart somehow makes one blameless?

baldwin also the HMIC of the set, as either producer or director he OWNS the safety program.

baldwin faces responsibility as boss man for the staff, safety program, and also his actions as actor.

he either has directors insurance or not.

He will be on the wrong side of at least a $10 million lawsuit. He probably has an umbrella liability insurance package which will cover most of that.

Hyphenated last name DA there, obviously a Lib, she won't file criminal charges.

I think he should not face criminal charges. Actors aim a pistol at the camera and pull the trigger all the time. The Great Train Robbery made in 1903 opened with just such a scene. Sean Connery did it with a Beretta, the opening scene of Goldfinger.

The armorer bears legal responsibility. But, she is a wacky gal with platinum blue died hair. If she is Lesbo she will also skate, from that Lib DA we will see justice, with a big dose of politics.

Yes, it's fairly straightforward if you subscribe to the concept that taking guns away from all citizens is the best way to prevent "gun violence."


It was the gun's fault.

Alec Baldwin on Tuesday blasted the media for keeping up its coverage of the investigation into the shooting that killed “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, as he doubled down on his denial that he pulled the trigger of the gun.

In an appearance on the YouTube show “The Chris Cuomo Project,” the disgruntled actor singled out The Post while whining to host Chris Cuomo about the media not dropping the story of the deadly on-set shooting.

“I used to think The Post was something cops would read for the sports page … but I was surprised to learn some of the people who read The Post,” Baldwin said in the episode that aired Tuesday.

Baldwin and Cuomo, who was unceremoniously ousted at CNN last year, both bemoaned what they deemed unfair press coverage intent on taking them down.

“[The media] have dined out on this and the thing they have in common is nobody was there,” Baldwin said.


The conversation took a bizarre turn when Baldwin tried to illustrate what he believes is the media’s skewed perception of his actions.

“If George Bush’s mother, Barbara, fell through the ice on a pond and I waded into the pond and saved her life, they’d say I groped her. They’d say I squeezed her breast while I was pulling her out of the pond,” Baldwin insisted.

“It doesn’t matter what you do,” he said. “The ones that are out to get you are out to get you.”

In the interview, Baldwin also denied that he pulled the trigger of the gun last fall on the New Mexico set, claiming that it discharged while he was practicing a technique called “fanning.”

“If you pull the hammer back far enough … the hammer didn’t lock … it would fire the bullet without you pulling the trigger,” he said.

Baldwin said a safety officer told him it was safe to do this since the weapon was “cold,” meaning it was not loaded with bullets.

“Everyone on set knows what happened that day,” Baldwin insisted.

“Everyone who was there knows exactly what happened and exactly who is to blame.”
