I’m sure Alec will blame this on Trump to!
As much as I would like to come down on AB I will not I will pray for him and what he is going thru maybe just maybe he will understand the tragedy of making a wrong decision !! Our country is broken I choose to get on my knees and pray !! Please do not attack just pray for our nation as we are indeed lost ! God bless America !!!
This year I have went thru breast cancer loosing my sister to alzheimers etc so we are tough we will survive
Alec is a mean person. He treats “Little People” like complete crap! Look at the way he treated his own daughter, calling her a pig. He disgusts me. BUT, I dont wish anything bad on ANYONE! God has a way of humbling all of us! Whether we heed his message and right our wrongs, its up to us. I’m sure Alec feels horrible killing someone and hopefully that will humble this troubled soul. As for you and your sister, I am sorry you had to go through this and loose your sister. it is sad. I understand why you would… Read more »
I suppose the obvious question here is…. why the Hell doesn’t somebody check these “prop” guns to make sure there are no live rounds in the chamber?
If they can’t find somebody competent to do that, then maybe they should only buy new guns which have never been loaded. Or just use fake guns and dub in the appropriate sound effects later?
I’m a Devil, not a firearms expert, but this doesn’t seem all that complicated to me.
A tragedy on every level. Unthinkable and more proof that life can change or end in the blink of an eye. Horribly sad.
One person was killed and one person injured. A cloud of secrecy will naturally attract all types of speculation. Was he playing around with the prop? Was the live round intentionally placed in the gun? Was a scene being discussed/rehearsed? How did two people get shot? Was the gun inspected first? Until more details come out this is quite sketchy to say the least. I can’t stand Alec Baldwin and even i’m still shocked. Time will tell. Or will it?
Prayers for them all. Very sad.
Carrie & All…Prayers are where the attention should be first. Then the speculations as to how it happened ca follow. So many avoidable deaths and injuries come down to guns, any type, even a prop. Awful “invention” that’s only reason to be is to kill.
What in the world was live amunition doing on a movie set? Seriously, am I asking a stupid or naive question? I don’t know anything about props but to what advantage would having real, live bullet there?
Finally, someone asks the right question. Violet, there’s culpability here, no doubt. But the truth will get buried to avoid harming the project even more. Imagine living with this guilt… I’d be in a bad place right now if I were Baldwin, the prop people, and anyone else who’s been irresponsible.
It boggles my mind the way some people can consider Alec Baldwin a “mean person” who “treats ‘Little People’ like complete crap” and yet not see that in a certain former president whose evident joie de vivre was (as president) and is (as ex-president) treating people “like complete crap.” Tweeting (or otherwise lodging) insults, even to the dearly departed (John McCain, Colin Powell), is/was a full-time job for this disgusting excuse for a human being. Kids in cages anyone? The list of his transgressions (criminal and unethical) goes on and on. There has never been such a criminal, amoral, inept,… Read more »
Yes, Jamesj75, I share your feelings. It’s funny how people rationalize the behavior of some and are willing to “cancel” anyone else who rubs them the wrong way. I’m a decades-long fan of Woody Allen but now I have to watch who I mention his films to. No one will even consider both sides of a story once they’ve made up their minds. I’m no fan of Alec Baldwin but that doesn’t affect my empathy for him and this tragic situation. There always has to be someone to blame so that people have a place to focus their feelings, positive… Read more »
Soaphound, great to see your response and your concurrence. You make further great points. The current situation is so tragic. Empathy is really not that hard to do. Breaking up is hard to do… 🙂 Take care, Friend.
Very well said, James! I agree 100%.
Dan, thank you for your comment and for making my day! Best to you, Friend.
Jamesj75; I’m trying this comment again. Something got screwed up in my edits and after several attempts I have no idea if it will get through, and if it does what it’ll look like, lol. I edited and each time I checked the edits weren’t there, then I deleted, added. It may look like a word puzzle if it get through so here’s a new attempt: Jamesj75: I see we think the same of the former guy; and you put your feelings about him in the most mild terms possible. Believe me. What I would say would take a book… Read more »
Rebecca1, thank you for your perseverance. And for your further commentary on the “former guy.” You and I have commiserated here previously about him. Indeed, many books have been written about his crimes, missteps, faux pas, lies, insults, etc., which, sadly, were virtually daily occurrences in his presidency. God help us all if he ever holds office again. Lord knows, his enablers in Congress have changed laws in many states to facilitate that possibility and to suppress the vote aka suppress the will of the people. I did mention Colin Powell in my previous post because I read the despicable… Read more »
Lol; I’m not as discreet as you are; there was no empathy there. I’ve witnessed enough on this site with certain “regulars” to know. I call it as I see it; and I see it. ♥
Jamesj75…I agree with your comments about the gun tragedy and the “former guy.” You expressed them in a very thoughtful way. To add a followup, editorials from the LA Times suggest tptb will be banning real guns and live bullets from tv and movie sets. And even the firing of props would not be at target anymore. It’s about time. And why so many guns in movies and tv anyway??? It doesn’t help when the new Walmart toy catalogue has two pages of advertising in four color from Nerf with every kind of gun imaginable in the hands of kids… Read more »
Great to have your input and kind words here, Rose! I also appreciate your further discussion of guns on TV and in movies as well as the targeting of kids by Walmart (and others) for indoctrination into the gun culture. Honestly, it’s one culture I don’t like or understand… Take care, Friend!
