that day after being struck by a live round from a gun fired by Baldwin. Director Joel Souza, who was standing behind Hutchins, was wounded and hospitalized before being discharged.
Ahead of the gun discharge, Baldwin had been handed firearm by assistant director Dave Halls, who said it was a “cold gun” — meaning it wasn’t loaded — to rehearse a scene, according to a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s affidavit that was used to obtain a search warrant.
Chill, people, Alec is in PTSD Hell right now. He gets a pass on thinking logically for at least a year.
Or you as a producer can cough up a few extra bucks and hire an armorer with more than one line on their resume.
Humans are dumb
Wait, now he claims a need for police when he is one of the biggest defund the police supporters, what a total waste of air
Why? So the police can shoot more people? 😳
Sounds a lot like his 30 Rock character after getting mugged…
you don't have to hire cops to monitor weapon safety. in fact there are far more reliable sources you can pull from that don't involve privately hiring officers likely going into overtime therefore driving up precinct budgets and as a result, taxpayer dollars
That’s a great idea. When I heard the news about the shooting, my first thought was “man, I wish that after he shot the DP and director, there was a cop there to shoot him too”
This is a terrible idea. But also this man is clearly suffering from trauma and ptsd after what happened so I would assume hes not thinking clearly. I feel for all involved.
Why not just use cluster bombs to just shred everybody? I'm sure the cops have ample supplies/
Horses bolted
Hilarious that he thinks police officers are experts on weapon safety. 😆
How the heck would shooting a dog help with this?
That's a really dumb suggestion...
How is this gonna help?
there are already trained professionals hired on most union sets, maybe you should only handle firearms on set while they are present?
Everybody gonna be shot
The moment this happens, set shootings skyrocket.
Get rid of real weapons.
The only thing police are qualified to advise hollywood on is beating unarmed protesters.
AlecBaldwin 🍀 Don't Blame Urself..Whoever placed a Lethal Weapon in Ur Hand is Unfortunately Negligent. PERIOD. it seems some DUMMY placed a Lethal Round Similar 2 a Dummy Round 2 Deliberately Confuse the A.D., Armory/Prop Master..U were left holding the bag..NOT UR FAULT!!💖
What are they going to do? Shoot first?
Sit down. Be quiet. Solutions have been in place for decades but ignored by productions like yours.
Maybe just follow the rules and create new ones that support the well being people working on set.
Isn’t this already a rule
This is a terrible idea.
While calling for the defunding of the Police
I think this is a coded way for Alec to say he meant to shoot that woman and he wants it to happen more often
Sooo you want more real bullets on the set
Why police and not medics? I would say why not firearms safety and handling experts, but they are already supposed to be employed for these purposes.
Fuck no
This headline made me look like this picture.
It’s not like cops have ever accidentally shot anyone… 🙄
Not sure what he's going for here. The guy wouldn't spring for his crew to stay within an hour of set, does he think a sustained police presence will be cheaper? Or that it would have helped? Hire professionals and pay them to do their jobs, it's not complicated.
Lol Lmao
Ew. No. Wrong take
Well to be fair....the majority of cast and crew of film sets are white. They'll be incredibly safe.
Just don’t use real guns… No extra police…
So - under this theory... when he started shooting at the crew would the police officers have shot HIM?
Responsible Film and TV sets don't use real guns.
So more people can get killed? Pigs kill over 1k people a year here as it is.
The solution is more guns on the set.
How would this have done anything to prevent what happened?
Or maybe, as a producer sir, make sure your film sets are safe and hire proper crew to handle and instruct your teams how to handle weapons. Weapons masters exist. We use them in stage theatre frequently. Don’t cut corners and make your sets unsafe to where your crew quits
I think he means on white sets.
Really dumb idea.
The time he took talking about Trump he could have taken classes but instead he talks sit until something happens then it's everyone else fault, typical liberal mentality
My god, he’s thirsty for more blood. 😨
Im no PR person but this is a bad thing to say.
How tf would that help? You know what world help? Everyone properly doing their fucking job. This shooting wouldn't have happened if several people actually did their job.
Why to turn accidental deaths into murder?
more police…
This is like the opposite of a solution.
Why does this lunatic murderer get an opinion on anything gun related anymore?
Yes, because police are well known for their safety and restraint when it comes to firearms…🙄
Yeah cops hate shooting people 🙄
You know how many stories make local news each month of cops negligently shooting themselves or someone else while showing off? We want more safety, not less
What a maroon.
Liberals love cops!
Umm..... ...... .... ... No.
I urge Alec Baldwin to not kill shoot and kill people
... doesn't he understand that he's saying he should have been killed by a cop?
No.
It is the responsibility of anyone and everyone that handles a firearm to check it. Doesn't matter if it's been checked 100 times before you touch it. As soon as it's in your hands you check it yourself. If you don't have respect for a weapon, something bad can happen eventually.
jfc. Didn't Spencer Tracy take care of this decades ago?
Alternatively, and hear me out in this one: You could not have real guns on set. Production companies could hire qualified, union workers. You could stop making movies with guns in them and tell interesting stories instead. Any one of those would do the trick.
…that is absolutely not the fucking solution lmao
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Maybe we don't need Alec Baldwin's take on how to make film sets safer?
Shaddap, Baldwin
Shouldn't alec Baldwin be investigated for possible murder? Like what?
Ah, yes. Cops. The guys who have definitely not had any problems with accidental shootings in the past. Defs a good idea.
That's about the most useless thing imaginable. No wonder his set caused deaths.
Let’s think this through first. Police are not known for NOT shooting up the place.
?
Uhm... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's a bad idea. You already have positions that fill this role, but you cheaped out and had people who were bad at their jobs.
Great idea. That way if someone gets shot no one will face any legal consequences.
How would the presence of a police officer stopped him from accidentally shooting someone?
Alec Baldwin has clearly learned nothing from what happened. If, when the union members walked off set because they felt it unsafe, he and the other producers didn’t hire scabs who didn’t know what they were doing this would never of happened
He hasn’t seen enough shooting?
How about actually listening to the professionals when they say cutting corners is dangerous and potentially life threatening
Exactly what does he think this will accomplish? No. Hire ADs and armorers that know what they're doing and make sure they follow safety protocols. That's literally all you need to do.
He’d rather this than hire an armorer in the union. Wanna look at a the track record of accidental deaths related to these two jobs?
Option 1: Hire a competent Armorer and take staff concerns seriously. Option 2: Pay an additional $100/hr to your local municipality so an officer in his car can watch you send a round into your cinematographer.
So Alec Baldwin wants the people who have mistaken things like a slice of pizza for a gun, confused their own gun for a taser, & caused worldwide protests over their unnecessary, accidental, reckless & criminal use of firearms causing death, to police the guns on movie sets.
To do. Fucking. What. Exactly.
I want less people to die, so I demand the presence of people who legally murder people all the time. I am very smart.
They’re gonna yell out “Taser! Taser!” and hand somebody a loaded gun
Or you could use union labor.
Dumb
Talking Dog movies will never finish production cause the cops will keep shooting the dogs.
Also, He Added, All Bottles In Movies Marked “Poison” Should Contain Real Poison And We Should Employ Antidotes
A Safety Tip For Filmmakers
not sure how getting more people shot solves the problem
Yeah, cops have never been irresponsible with guns, so this makes sense.
Maybe they should employ union armorers?
anything to avoid hiring competent union workers
This ain’t it Alec
The group that mistakes a TAZER for a gun?
Well that’s fucking stupid
But…cops are horrible at handling guns
Alec what exactly do you think a cop could have done for you that a more robust safety check couldn’t have?
“Murders on set increased 298% in the first week of cops on sets.” “Cop on set has trouble distinguishing reality from film production, even though hired by the production, kills 15 crew members because he was scared for his life” “Officer OD’s from prop fentanyl on set”
Funny stuff.
how to make shootings on sets go up
How about a ballistics/ weapons expert instead?
I thought he was a defund the police guy? Now he crying for the cops…then could blame them
…why?
Why is the answer to these scenarios 'Just hire more police'. Part of the problem with police is them being over tasked with shit they shouldn't be asked to do. How about not using real guns on sets with dumbasses who don't have the brains to check them properly.
Lol producer trying to diminish blame for thing that literally never happens on film sets he doesn't shoot people on
What if someone from Chevron set up Alec Baldwin for supporting Donziger
Or you could follow safety procedures and protocol. If you do what he did and cut corners, cops would be useless as well
They can surely pay for them.. and it makes sense. Have somebody clear the weapons in use.. but they already have dedicated experts doing the very same thing. How his gun was with a live or blank cartridge is a loop hole. Somebody slipped up. That loophole should be plugged !!
So they can do the shooting instead lol
Not a bad idea.🤔
He better call Saul
Wtf are they going to do? Dramatically jump infront of the bullet?
This is NOT it.
Or like, pay qualified staff
Or idk alec, maybe don't cheap out on the crew of the movie you're producing
Yeah... let's put the people who shoot on purpose in the same place there was a shooting by accident. I'm sure that'll be fine...
Or just follow the actual existing protocols and treat your crew like they are humans
Or, and I know this sounds crazy, they could just stop using real guns on set?
That’s a funny thing to say for someone who dismissed the union crew over safety concerns…. 🤔
Just like when Hollywood asked the glue and gelatin industry to oversee horse safety.
I apologize if I wrong here, not an actor. but, isn’t it the job of the armorer to make sure the weapons are secured and safe on set? Aren’t they supposed to be trained and make sure people are safe? The police aren’t trained for that.
Only on all white sets though
Pretty sure that’s not what Hollywood needs, nor is it going to help.
I still do not understand why every person who touched that gun didn't verify that it was or wasn't loaded. First rule I was taught about guns was 'they are loaded until you personally verify they aren't.'
This is actually a really terrific idea for increasing the number of fatal shootings on Film and TV sets
No es buen idea
Hillary and her think tank must of come up this hair brain idea to talk to the media about the police on movie sets. Doesn’t Baldwin have a lawyer telling him to shut up.
Or, don't fire the union workers and hire inexperienced scabs. Because police officers are guaranteed to make situations 100% worse.
Sure the situation is bad, but could we somehow make it worse?
huh?
Why fake guns? So a cop can mistake it for a real gun and shoot up the set?
Sir. You let a trained group of ppl go because they complained of safety concerns and you hired a scab armorer who has had a record of safety violations in to replace them and they proceeded to do safety violations. The answer is not cops it’s trained qualified union members.
Alec wants more people to be shot on set
If you shoot three co-workers you should probably shut up about the hiring process.
You can put a police officer on set to monitor weapons, sure. Whatever. Seems like a waste of a catered meal to me. You can fill the damn call sheet with a Marine infantry to monitor weapons if you want. As long as you allow real guns on set there will ALWAYS be risk involved.
or he could do his job and staff a set safely. since this happened because he cut corners on safety. as a producer.
Tell us you’re utterly out of touch with saying you’re utterly out of touch…
Does he know they’re unionized?
'In order to prevent further accidents involving household pets, Mr. Baldwin suggested the presence of rabid, feral wolves in every home...'
Who's urging should we be less interested in than the guy who negligently killed a cinematographer? Did Charlie Manson weigh in?
This is the worst idea
He should be banned from producing any movies ever again at this point
What? For them to arrest him after he shot a gun, causing someone to be injured and another to die?
How about not using real guns on set? Easy peasy
this is not the answer to any single problem I can think of
Because american cops are famously known for their gun safety. How about hiring some competent professionals instead.
wow. anyone who mocked hih/his role tragedy is wrong - and so is he for this hot take - he held the gun - he had an obligation - he made a mistake - there but by the grace of God go all of us - we're all human. but to deflect, blame, and do anything but apoligze is inhumane.
Or you could, idk, follow iatse rules
Alec Baldwin only wants black people shot on his set
Or they could use CG effects so they wouldn't have to hire a police officer. I know it would be more expensive, but a life is priceless.
Or maybe he hires trained union professionals that don’t actually bring LIVE FUCKING ROUNDS to a film set.
Did he or did he not shoot two white women? Where’s the boom 💥
This way only actors of color will be accidentally shot.
Police being present wouldn't have prevented what happened. Following proper procedures WOULD have.
Dude want to more people to get shoot? Fake guns do the job very well, CGI is cheap
There are already police officers on set during on location shoots anyway. Why not.
Nope.
That is a great idea if the goal is MORE people getting shot on set.
You mean the same police officers who Alec Baldwin told us we need t-shirts saying “my hands are up don’t shoot me”?
This is a stupid way to admit the production company was bad at safety. You just have to take workplace safety seriously. Movies don't.
No one should listen to Alec Baldwin about anything.
If that was the case, Alec Baldwin the producer would immediately balk at the cost of having a 'real' police officer on site, and would instead hire an 18 yr old 'security guard', and make them pay for their uniform.
instead of being police, right? ... instead of being police, right?
yes the people who can't go a week without killing somebody who hasn't been convicted of a crime should be in charge of weapons safety
Lol imagine thinking cops add safety to guns
Because the ones we most trust with guns are cops...
The only thing a cop is needed for in this situation is arresting Alec Baldwin
What a stupid idea.
a terrible idea from the worst person to ask. great!
Don't they already employ people whose job it is to verify it's safe? Seems like a competence issue. Also, he's trying to deflect. Alec Baldwin is the one who said 'keep filming' when they were told it was unsafe.
so they can shoot you if you accidentally shoot someone? Wtf would a cop have done in that situation. It’s already required to have a weapons expert on set.
baldwin trying to steer the conversation away from the story that they had an unsafe set not following protocols, with people walking off in protest that very day? having police on set doesn't change the facts. we can cgi realistic looking animals now, but cant use fake guns?
read the room bro
Famously, the police have never used guns improperly.
who wants to tell him
Or- hear me out- maybe Alec should just sit this one out
What were they going to do, shoot him before he could pull the trigger on a prop gun?
From bad to worse...
Why? Just hire an armourer and an AD that actually take their jobs seriously.
Unless those cops are Wonder Woman how are they going to stop the bullets?
Actually, workers just deserve better standards, Alec.
pretty cool scam to kill one of your employees and use it to further undermine union workers
If the police were there they’d probably have shot Alec.
He said “If someone’s getting shot on set it’s not gonna be by me!”
This would not make the situation better
Having cops around seems like a good way to ensure that way more people get shot.
Or you could, I don't know, hire social workers.
Police officers are not qualified and employ civilian Range Safety Officers that have complete authority on police shooting range to monitor and enforce safety. Alec knows nothing about gun safety & proves it by first mishandling a firearm causing a death and now with this take.
This 'urge' derails the path to racial equity as we work to ChangeHollywood. Hollywood needs to divest from police & invest in black safety. Prioritizing Black safety, physically & mentally, is crucial to undoing racism in America & preserving Black life
Or maybe just get a real armorer
I once witnessed an on set cop hand a PA a bullet from his gun when asked for one. Alec is stupid here.
I realize you are just reporting on a tweet, but I think it's astounding that THR, of all outlets, would neglect to include any mention of the already existing role of armorers on set or the possibility of using VFX instead
This is a bad solution to not the real problem, but OK Alec.
How dumb
Wow that is a terrible idea
I think he means police should be on any set he is on.
You’ve pretty much lost your right to request or suggest what should or shouldn’t happen on a set after this tragedy, Alec. Just take ownership of what occurred, accept the punishment, make restitution and go reflect on it for awhile. No advice from you for a bit, Champ.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fucking hell no don’t do that. I thought the point was to make things safer! Cops can’t handle firearms any better than me, and I’m a cripple in Canada with no training.
If there had been a good guy there with a gun, they could have shot Alec before he shot someone else.
Truly a Jenga of bad ideas right here.
Can someone please let me know why real guns need to be used?
If the people getting shot is the problem, why would the solution possibly be 'employ people who regularly murder others'?
This is so dumb. There already are cops on film sets.
this has to be a prank
I am urging Alec Baldwin to lose the ability to form and share opinions
but cops won’t prevent anything
Don't do that
People are mad at Alec in the replies but American cops are famously extremely good at preventing unnecessary and accidental shootings so this actually makes sense
Wut? That makes little sense. You have industry standard rules that require an actual expert to handle the guns (which were ignored here) & you want to add amateurs? Most cops spend little time actually handling their guns. Terrible idea.
Yes let’s put more unqualified trigger happy goons with guns on movie sets. That will definitely cause less violence
The fact that the guy who killed someone wants cops on set should tell you exactly who cops are (killers)
If you still want real guns the answer is not using rookie Armourers
They should require anyone handling guns to take NRA safety instruction and they should have NRA instructors on set. Not all police officers ae qualified firearms instructors. Alec Baldwin is so ignorant on this subject it's a wonder this is his first fatal accident.
Police officers?....please?! How about just hire ex military firearms experts.
Really dumb idea
a) sets have 'cops' now, except they're off-duty but in uniform to intimidate the public b) they don't keep the public safe, they protect the property/production (because that is what cops do) c) many of them shouldn't have guns themselves d) Alec Baldwin needs to be quiet.
Wouldn’t the cops shoot the Black actors?
I thought his lawyers asked him to shut up.
The conservative brain is diseased and can only come up with “more cops” and “less tax” and “punish poverty” as solutions to literally any problem
Alec Baldwin's use of scabs made him a murderer.
Oh, so now we'll have the police officers responsible for all the guns on set? I guess that's a solution that could work.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Or - bear with me on this - fake guns only?!
💩 🧠
Alec Baldwin On Movie Guns: ‘Hire Police To Protect Set’
Cops, well known for never shooting anyone “accidentally”
He must want everyone getting shot then
Wtf’s a cop supposed to do that a [professional, experienced] armorer can’t?
Alec wants pinkertons on set
NO. Hire actual gun safety officers if you have to. Police officers are also woefully undertrained when it comes to firearm safety
evelynvwoodsen Why do you need police to just check the gun first
Why not just create a new position who’s sole responsibility is safety around risky areas. Sounds like a cheap effective solution and I’m available for a weekly rate of $10,000 if wbpictures ParamountPics SonyPictures is looking
They'd be better off hiring retired military veterans. They've received better training and typically show much more restraint.
Hasn’t he killed enough?
Ah yeah the best way to fix this is to have ANOTHER LOADED GUN on set
Here is not justice for women and their kid’s How somebody with all this charges, all things he was doin to me can walk out with 5 years on probation?My conviction is bigger than him got and we are the victims, now we can be killed❤️JUSTICE4US❤️ justice4noahisaacandamandagarcia
Article said “White man commits murder and urges more white men be on set to act as his scapegoats” 🙃😭
What would the police have done? Shot Alec Baldwin?
Only nerf allowed. They’re play bad/good guys, let them use play guns.
donkey brains.
