Alec Baldwin Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter of Director of "Rust"
"Hola, Ilarrria, you will not believe el dio that I am having!
Ay, Dios mio! Donde do I start?!
First, they send a Lexus SUV to pick me up instead of the Escalade in my rider.
Pues, there's this whole mishegas with a revolver and I can't even!
I can't even, Ilarrrria! I can't even! No puedo mas!"
The film's armorer was charged with the same crime. I'm always saying, "I predicted this." I definitely did not predict this. I will predict a plea deal with no jail, though. But I was wrong once already. "Involuntary" means not willful, not intended. Negligent, in other words. This is what other jurisdictions might call criminally negligent homicide. Which is the right charge.
Alec Baldwin will be criminally charged in connection with the "Rust" shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead, prosecutors said Thursday. New Mexico prosecutors will charge Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two federal counts of involuntary manslaughter over the death of Hutchins on the "Rust" film set in October 2021, when a real bullet was loaded into a prop gun. Assistant director David Halls, who handed Baldwin the loaded gun, accepted a misdemeanor charge in a plea deal. "If any one of these three people -- Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed or David Halls -- had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It's that simple," special prosecutor Andrea Reeb said. Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed will both be charged "in the alternative," meaning the jury will decide which of the two charges -- involuntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act -- they are or are not guilty of. Both felony charges hold a maximum prison sentence of 18 months and a fine of up to $5,000.The expected thing to do was just to not file charges. Yes, the DA would have been criticized for going easy on a Hollywood bigshot, but people expected this sort of thing. It's standard corruption, standard easy treatment for the "elite." Criticism would have gone away in two weeks because, as the Joker says, it's all part of the plan. So what I'm wondering is, how badly did Alec Baldwin misbehave and anger the prosecutors to spur them into charging him? Answer: A commenter reminds me that Alec Baldwin has constantly lied about not pulling the trigger, which is a stupid lie told just for the sake of defeating an eventual prosecution. So I guess the prosecutors figure, well, if you're already working towards the jury trial, let's have one. I don't think there will be a trial. If there is, Nick Rekieta will wind up with a new house.

Ruger Vaquero Bisley. Blued. Rosewood grips. Came in .357, .44 and .45 Colt.
I saw one in a local gun shop recently. The one I theoretically lost in a canoe accident was $399 in '98. This one was used and $799.
And like a moron, I did not buy it and bought something else instead. I swear, one of these days I will actually walk into a gun shop and buy the thing I came in for.

It would be a ratings bonanza for CNN/MSNBC, as it would replace their non-existance schedulesl. Wall-to-wall coverage for $1M (from each network) to Baldwin for his "defense" for 3 weeks worth of trial is money well spent for them.
He'll still be convicted of Manslaughter and get 18 months, but he'll be +$millions out of the deal.

When informed they had not cast the film and it was unclear whether it was a remake or a third film, Carpenter responded, “Hey, great. The last I heard was they were developing it where Snake would be a woman. But, no, I haven’t heard about this latest thing.”
They've been trying to reboot EfNY for at least 15 years. I don't see how this effort is going to be any more successful than the one with Gerard Butler when Gerard Butler was actually a thing.

Yeah, they've done a few vides on it, but it's just obvious on any low-budget action movie made after the barrel flash plugin became free in about 2002. It's cheaper to add in that plugin rather than get real guns, an armorer, and blanks.

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know about his rights. But it is far beyond the bounds of basic gun safety and common sense. He bears some responsibility for checking the weapon when it was handed to him, as we ALL DO in EVERY gun handling situation.

I'm going to disagree. In the end, it is the person handling the weapon who has the responsibility to check fit and function. You act as a team with the armorer to ensure safe handling and use. That way there is a two-way safety check. They both own this.

I saw one in a local gun shop recently. The one I theoretically lost in a canoe accident was $399 in '98. This one was used and $799.
And like a moron, I did not buy it and bought something else instead. I swear, one of these days I will actually walk into a gun shop and buy the thing I came in for.

I want to say that I read or saw where some new tech was used extensively in that movie, too, so that the guns' actions would cycle using batteries and it might even eject what looked like a spent cartridge, but the items the actors were holding weren't guns and were incapable of firing anything. The flashes were added in post production (I think that's the right term)

That's why it's involuntary manslaughter. If he had shot the camera man during a scene shoot, it would likely be just the armorer. But since he had no legit reason to discharge the weapon at the director, along with his overall responsibility as producer to ensure a safe work environment, a strong argument could be made he was criminally negligent in that responsibility.

It was a real gun that the crew was using to blast empty whiskey bottles between takes and nobody could imagine having to treat it like a real gun...
But, I am one of those guys that thinks negligent homicide should get a harsher penalty than premeditated murder. The later it takes a thoughtful process to go through, the other is someone so fricken stupid they just kill people cause they 'didn't think' .... and never will.

I would, and you would, and everyone here would. But do actors in Hollywood do that on a regular basis? I honestly don't know, but if it's standard practice for the armorer to hand the actor the gun and say "It's okay to use," and for the actor to then use it without personally checking it, then Baldwin isn't any more in the wrong than the rest of them.

Yes but many times you are relieved of your legal responsibility to do so. In cases where you don't have weapons training and you activity with the weapon is under supervision. Pretty much this case. If he hadn't have been the producer and discharged the weapon at the camera man during a shoot and killed him. He wouldn't even have sustainable civil liability.

Kurt Russell wasn't really a huge star, and Escape from NY was no real financial success. Carpenter was really frustrated because all of his Russell movies bombed (this, The Thing, and Big Trouble in Little China, and then, eventually, Escape from LA).
He was simply not a box office draw. If he was, he could have sold something like Big Trouble in Little China, but he didn't.
The mistake modern Hollywood keeps making is that these popular 80s properties are actually not that popular. They're popular with the film geek crowd, which has some crossover into the professional world (Scorsese recently praised Carpenter, actually), but that's a far cry from mainstream popularity.

It is just amazing that Hollywood does not understand heterosexual people at all. Men go to movies to identify with macho heroes and look at beautiful women. Women go to movies to dream about romance with hero macho men.
Now make the hero a woman and there is no longer any sexual tension between the characters. Then add a bunch of women kissing each other or worse, men kissing each other and just yuk.
What percentage of the population is gay? Why do they think they need to appeal to this population?

Given that its been over a year, I assume they have been waiting for Alec Baldwin to agree to a plea and now the prosecutor, tired of the bullshit, is upping the ante. She says she anticipates an expensive trial, and wants emergency funds, so she's making appropriate noises.
I am sure at some point his agent/manager/wife/lawyer/investors will talk him into settling this. Who knows, maybe they will still let him off with probation. But at some point, if he is stubborn, they will go for jail time. I'm having trouble seeing Alec Baldwin surviving state jail time.

I read once about a 30s gangster movie whose title I have long forgot. The bad guys were sheltering behind a corner of a stone bank building. The producers hired an ex-machine gunner from the army. They had the bad guys peer around the corner, and then the MGer let loose, chipping the stone. Apparently he came much closer than intended to drilling the actors.

It's a matter of discipline and basic gun safety. A person handling firearms, no matter what the use, needs to adhere to basic gun safety. If they didn't teach or instill that in Baldwin, I would also be suing the production company and anyone else in that chain.

Quite the opposite, I'd say. If Rekeita is claiming it's a bad offer, why?
I'm not sure what Crowder is angling for here.
He's not negotiating with them for better terms, because DW already told him deal's off, when Crowder tried to back off his hard "no, fuck you."
He may be trying to set himself up as the official "enemy of corrupt right-wing media."
He seems to be thinking "I'm a to-the-death culture warrior, and everybody I contract with must be willing to die with me. Now why isn't anybody offering me the kind of contracts I want?"
Because people sign contracts to make money, not to win culture wars.

I see more in line with the effort to do a massively expensive sequel to Blade Runner. Blade Runner was a bomb in the early 80s and clearly grew in appreciation of the decades. Everyone in Hollywood knows it, and many decision makers are fans.
Is the general public a fan of Blade Runner, though?
Not so much, it seems. It's like movies about Hollywood. Hollywood loves to make them, but they're generally not that much in the money making department. Hell, one of the best of them, The Player, made less than $30 million at the box office in the early 90s.

It's social conditioning not creating art for wide sale and consumption.
It surprises me after seeing the new top gun that it actually got made. You have Mav the hero of the story getting favors from his Admiral friend, showing the young kids that the old white guy is better than they are, and that they need to sit down shut up and learn. Ultimately shows them what he has planned for them is doable by doing it himself. Finally acts as an immediate hero for mission completion. All that while swooning the girl, and patching up a relationship with his dead friends son.
It's like an advertisement for patriarchy, individual achievement, traditional masculinity, heterosexuality, and healthy competition.

That would be a likely explanation for how it's come to this. Baldwin got on his "Do you know who I am?!" high horse and refused to take things seriously and thought it would go away after a month. (It would explain his behavior afterwards.) Oops, it didn't go away, and the NM authorities are taking it 100% seriously. Now he gets to choose about copping a plea (de facto conviction) or a trial jury that has to consider two people shot with actual bullets on a movie set.

Fake guns generally look pretty fake. Faking recoil looks really fake.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, navigating a corrupt and violent world with Clint Eastwood
Fuck them. They're actors. They need to just learn to ACT, which means doing the research on how a gun moves when it recoils, and practicing until they can get the movement close to reality. The rest can be done with editing.
Here in Clownifornia, ordinary citizens can't own otherwise legal NFA registered machine guns (unless they were grandfathered in). Same with any other NFA items. But the film industry has exceptions written into the law specifically to allow them to buy, own, and use any damned NFA firearm they want.
If a citizen can't own it, there's no fucking reason that the film industry has any business owning the same item.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur at January 19, 2023 12:36 PM (n+4am)
I definitely did not predict this."
I understand that on the Hollywood side, their position is thus: actors never do weapon manipulations; armorers do it, slap it in their hand with instructions, and the actors just do what they're told as meat robots. They justify this with "well, almost NOBODY has been shot by accident in 100+ years so this must work"
Well, it works until it doesn't. And legally this is a bit troubling; *I* can arbitrarily proclaim that I'm in charge of gun safety, hand a weapon to someone and tell them to point it at another and pull the trigger, and if they blast someone - well maybe I'm legally liable, maybe I'm not. The shooter is DEFINITELY liable, both legally and ethically. The 4 rules don't have exemptions for entertainers. Sometimes - think military training - other groups also have to point weapons at people. They never, ever, ever, ever do so without proper safety checks on the part of both the wielder and a second party.
This has been downright laziness and arrogance on the part of Hollywood, plain and simple.

If he was just effing around between takes or while the lady was taking a long time to position the camera and he decided to fill the time practicing his 'cross-draw', fired the weapon [esp. while sitting down], then involuntary manslaughter is fine with me; then prove his sentence is the same as other cases with e.g. drunk buddies effing around with an 'unwittingly' loaded handgun, then fine.
But there was alot of talk that he deliberately pointed it at her/them as a joke or out of frustration. If the video or sworn statements show that , then [types, deletes].

Alec gets charged. TFG is still evading the law. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
At least they didn't charge him with 1st degree murder. So I guess that it couldn't be politically motivated, but these days, you never know.
There is someone on set who has the job of making sure firearms are safe. It isn't the actor's responsibility. They aren't trained for that. The weapons masters are.
The claim is he didn't do things he should have At least according to one of the prosecutors who's been quoted. The charge requires something beyond a mere oops. They're claiming there was some special kind of stupid involved. I guess we'll find out.

Yeah, the Military-Industrial Complex gets paid, but rebuilding stockpiles, let alone having real weapons for training, takes years of production.

The military has specific procedures for clearing weapons before doing stuff like this. If blanks are involves it extends to brass-rodding the bore also - which I may point out would have saved Brandon Lee.
To trust a gun isn't loaded just because someone else says so is the height of stupidity, and to insist you're above doing so is simple arrogance. And if you're incapable of doing it or being trusted with it (even if just under supervision), then you can't be trusted with a firearm in the first fucking place.

1928 movie, "Noah's Ark." The asshole director dumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of water into an area with a whole bunch of people with no clear direction or safety precautions. Three extras drowned. One person lost their leg. Many people suffered broken bones.

During shooting of the Errol Flynn version of The Charge Of The Light Brigade, the filmmakers did some horrible stuff to trip the horses for realism during the battle scene climax. Killed a shitload of horses on set. Flynn was so enraged at the horse slaughter that he tried to kill director Michael Curtiz on set but the crew pulled him off the director before he could throttle him.
Flynn was a drunken degenerate asshole, but I can't say I blame him.

Ever think of how many shells they fire off in a week?
The Russians were firing 80,000 shells per DAY, every day, week after week this Summer. 80,000. Eight Hundred - Hundreds.
now the Russians are running low too. They are borrowing from Byelorussia, and buying from North Korea and Iran. They are ONLY firing about 20,000 shells per day now. Only 20,000. every day.

The end of the round (the part that goes into the gun) looks a lot different. For a revolver though, you'd have to pull the round out of the cylinder to see, from the back the rounds look the same.
However whomever loaded that gun should have known the difference. And certainly the fact that it went onto the set with live ammunition means someone really screwed up. And if that screw up was due to poor work practices then the producer is implicated.

It's illegal to show horse tripping in films in Britain, so stuff like that gets censored out of home releases.
It's just illegal to do it America now, though we can still see the effects in a bunch of old Westerns (pretty much any Western before about 1955 where a horse falls forward is a horse trip using wire).

But you also have to remember that certain groups with more latitude had access to other handguns they felt were better then the M9 and so it became this constant emotion infused conversation borne on frustration.

Ah. I've never handled or seen a blank, only live rounds.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius
----------
Blanks are loaded with a very fast powder and designed to make noise with muzzle flash. A wad is placed on the end of the powder charge in order to make the powder burning more even and avoid spillage of the powder. The end is then crimped in some fashion. The wad and powder charge is sufficient to kill someone at close range such as a mock suicide and to injure a bit further off.
Dummy rounds have a bullet in place but no primer in centerfire versions. I have never seen a rimfire dummy round for obvious reasons, you could not tell between them and a real cartridge. Sometimes these are painted or have literally holes in teh body so they can be identified.
Snapcaps have a solid body of something like aluminum or plastic and the primer cup at the back is filled by either plastic or some sort of springloaded brass in order to not damage the firing pin when dry firing (pulling the trigger for practice or to ensure proper function of the firearm).

My last boss before I left the Army in '91 was an SF Master Sergeant who'd spent most of his career training Central and South Americans, including a stint with the Contras. He told a story about how the Contras all wanted pistols, because in their minds pistol = El Jefe.
So they laid out a bunch of different pistol types on long tables for the Contras to pick and choose. Whatever the Panamanian arms merchants could get their hands on. Each man would pick up a pistol and shake it next to his ear. If it was quiet (meaning tight and well-fitted) they's drop it on the table saying "No bueno". But if it rattled like a set of maracas, they'd smile "Ahhhhh... bueno!". Because they were used to old 1911s that were as loose as Sandra Fluke's piss-flaps. And those 1911s never jammed.

Breaks down to $65K per ep of his show. And Crowder would handle all show production (as he prefers to do,) taken out of the $65K. So it's not as much as it seems.
I like Crowder a lot, but for now I think he's working an angle. He turned down the DW term sheet flat, in disgust. Three months later he comes crawling back asking to talk again. DW tells him, no you were right Steve, this is NOT the contract for you. SC blew all his negotiating leverage for an angry flounce, and now he's mad, and wants to frame DW as an enemy of the right.

Funny thing about shooting wars, peace-keeping missions, etc is that they tend to show up outside of regularly planned events. I'm not sanguine enough to think that PRC, the Norks, and Iran haven't noticed this policy decision, and are making plans accordingly. The idea that the US Marine Corps might have fewer ATGW than one might find in Mogadishu really bothers me.

Gun fit to hands is a known issue with the Beretta. In fact, it caused some problems given the differential between male and female hand size which is why the whole replaceable grip frames for different hand sizes was part of the new contract for current military sidearms.
DA/SA intended to prevent accidental discharges also can lead to inaccuracy versus the old single action trigger of the 1911. You have to practice the Crunchenticken of the DA/SA more than for example a Glock.

But as he saw the penalties, like for *not* staying on platforms, he really didn't see how to pay his staff from 20% of that.

With proper training, the only thing DA/SA will cost you is a couple of tenths (at most) getting the first round out.
Honestly. If you can't put the first round out of DA/SA on target at speed, the trigger press is the issue - not the trigger.

I'm grateful for the DW vid peeling back the contract and being transparent about their wording and why. It would be a fine deal for a baby conservative trying to get their foot in the door. New exposure and money, get your feet wet, begin building your empire. Walk away after a few years since they own all the content you made there and the platforms they built (which is CRAPPY, but whatever) and set up a new age of your content on your terms.
It's a CRAPPY deal for a Stephen Crowder, who has built arguably the largest conservative online platform. The deal as written is fine for a newbie, but understandably insulting for him.
Steven needs to pull an Adam Carolla, arguably the GOAT of startup podcasting, and just build his own damn Pirate Ship. Adam proudly built his own platform so he can say and do whatever he wants. It's time, Stephen, you are ready. Do the same.

I ran my new CZ P-10 F on Saturday. While I won't carry anything but DA/SA (decocked), the P-10 is just one damn fine pistol. I'm perfectly happy to carry it in a proper Level 2 holster.
Since Saturday, two of my buds went out and bought P-10s. One of which was running his old fav G19 on Saturday as well.
It's a little light in the fore end, so I added a TLR7 and a little bit stronger DPM spring to it to see if I can shorten the recoil wave. We'll see how it goes.
BTW, as you already know, the P229 DA/SA also belongs in the category of Damn Fine Pistols, along with my fully Cajunized 75B PCR.
