At the very least this is going to cost him a big stack of money. :P

In an interview on Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast, the Oscar winner called Hutchins' death "infuriating," given strict gun safety protocols put in place on film and TV sets following the deaths of his friends, actors Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee in 1984 and 1993, respectively.

"Every single time I'm handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I'm pointing it too, I show it to the crew," Clooney said. "Every single take."

Rust script supervisor sues Alec Baldwin and producers over shooting

Mamie Mitchell has said she relives the sound of the gun going off on the set of Rust 'over and over again'. Mitchell, who was the first to call 911 after the shooting, has filed a lawsuit against Alec Baldwin and the film's producers, alleging that the script never required the actor to fire the shot that killed the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured the director Joel Souza

QuoteIn Baldwin's first major interview — set to air in full Thursday night — he insisted that "the trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger."

Believe him or not?

was the gun a single action?

was the hammer pulled back as some have reported?

At that point, Baldwin said, he began to cock the gun but did not pull the trigger.
"I let go of the hammer of the gun, and the gun goes off," Baldwin said, adding: "I didn't pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger. Never."

I expect it won't be long before they will be blaming Trump!

He's a moron.  Lawyers telling him what to say.  A single action gun isn't going to go off without the trigger pulled.  My money is on he had his finger on the trigger while he was cocking the gun and he let go of the hammer.

You hold the gun? You are responsible. Period.
Anyone else is an accessory.

These old single action revolvers will fire without pulling the trigger. There is a reason you only load 5. If you want to cut to the chase go to about the 3 minute mark. I'm not defending Baldwin. I bet he is on camera cocking and firing the gun.  The interview he did on ABC was difficult to watch and listen to.

I was thinking that they should have used a cowboy load —-

I heard and read some excerpts but couldn't stomach the whole interview...

upon further review of the TM's posted video and AB's interview... he in essence fired the gun when he let go of the hammer, instead of easing it back into position.

QuoteBaldwin said he was taking direction from Hutchins and pulled the hammer back as far as he could without cocking it.

"I'm just showing her, I go, 'How about that? Does that work? Do you see that?' ... She said, 'yeah, that's good.'" Baldwin told Stephanopoulos. "I let go of the hammer — bang, the gun goes off."

he's also trying to blame the victim, she told me to do it....

I don't know Keith, I bet it's on film.

Shit happens when you play with guns.  My wife's cousin was n law enforcement, and two weeks from retirement, he accidentally shot himself in the thigh with a glock.  Now some of you numb nuts may regard this as a "mild" injury, but try pulling a rag through the hole to clean the wound for a week!
