Alec Baldwin Whines About What a Victim He Is - Even Attacking Trump, Trump Supporters

If you didn’t already think that Alec Baldwin was a self-obsessed actor, his latest interview about the shooting on the “Rust” movie set would likely convince you of it.

His attorneys should have told him to stop talking already, but he still keeps going.

In a CNN interview, he seemed to blame everyone else except himself over the shooting of Halyna Hutchins, casting blame on the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, and the assistant director, Dave Halls.

“Why didn’t [Gutierrez Reed] check that bullet? Why didn’t Halls obey her?” Baldwin continued. “Why did he give me the gun? Why didn’t he check? Why did he tell the crew [it was a cold gun]?”

Jason Bowles, Guttierez Reed’s attorney, and Lisa Torraco, Dave Halls’ attorney, came to the defense of their clients.

“We disagree with Mr. Baldwin’s attempts to deflect blame onto others. It is not for him to decide or to apportion blame,” Bowles added.

In a statement, Halls’ attorney said Baldwin is trying to shift blame away from himself.

“Baldwin is pointing the finger at others because the evidence is pointing at him,” said Lisa Torraco. “Halls is not responsible. Everyone needs to stop. People are only pointing the finger at Halls because they don’t want the responsibility of being wrong. Halls is a scapegoat. People need to look at the evidence.”

As we’ve reported, Baldwin claimed he didn’t pull the trigger, but the FBI forensic analysis indicated during testing that the gun could not be fired without pulling the trigger.

On top of that, Baldwin whined that the incident cost him five jobs from people concerned about hiring him and came up with some nonsensical attack on Trump supporters.

“I got fired from another job yesterday,” he said. “There I was all set to go to a movie, jump on a plane … I’ve been talking with these guys for months and they told me yesterday we don’t want to do the film with you because of this.”

Baldwin also says he’s feared for his safety since former President Donald Trump said publicly that he believed the actor killed Hutchins on purpose.

Baldwin says it’s that type of stress that has “taken years off my life.”

Baldwin said:

Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death. 1000% percent I am nervous that a bunch of people who were instructed by the former president to go to the Capitol, who killed a law enforcement officer … you don’t think, that I think to myself, that some of those people are going to come and kill me.

Wow. How many ways is that ridiculously wrong?

First, let’s start with his self-obsession. No, Alec, the shooting took “years off the life” of Halyna Hutchins. She’s the victim in this incident, not you. Maybe that’s where your concern should be rather than on yourself or trying to deflect to Trump and make people feel sorry for you.

Second, Trump didn’t say Baldwin “did it on purpose.” What he did say was, “He’s a cuckoo-bird, he’s a nutjob. And usually, when there’s somebody like that, you know, in my opinion, he had something to do with it.”

Third, Trump didn’t “instruct people to commit acts of violence” and the people didn’t kill a law enforcement officer.

Baldwin’s attorney might want to get hold of him and rein him in because he just keeps digging that hole deeper. He’s facing a wrongful death lawsuit from Halyna Hutchins’ family and the police are still investigating the matter.

TDS is a terrible terrible sight to witness. What used to constitute as sane individuals making up stories as they go along in some twisted half-baked "telephone game" with a guy that is living rent free in the minds of millions! Baldwin was never sane though. Ever.

Does anyone here remember how a single action pistol functions?

Prop gun with "blanks" don't make people dead or injured.

Smells very wrong to me.

Another actor, John Eric Hexham (sp) was an actor on a show called Cover Up. He had a pistol with blanks. He put the gun up against his head, pulled the trigger and blew a hole in his brain.

Rare case, although it does prove a blank can kill.

Alex should have practiced what he preached. Gun control.

Jason Lee killed by a blank on The Crow too. However, the Baldwin thing was a live round

This is a bit different, though. Although blanks may have cardboard (or other such material) wads in them, they still have gun powder which causes the "bang". Up against your head?? Yeah, that's enough concussive power to make you dead.

The "less lethal" munitions in the jail, such as the SL1 or SL6 shoot hard rubber projectiles. If you hit someone in the head with it... it can kill. Same with a hard plastic pepper ball... if it hits you square in the eyeball, the eye is done, and it could possibly kill you if it transfers enough energy back into the brain.

There’s something called simunitions. It’s basically a low powder charge pushing a paintball tip. We used to use them in our duty weapons in shoot houses where we practiced clearing buildings. You could shoot a guy up close in the torso without causing any permanent damage. However, it would leave a nice red welt where it hit you.

Personally haven’t seen any less lethal pistol ammo.
I’m doubting jail time

As far as who cocked the pistol. Well no one that knows guns would **** a single action and leave it cocked laying around loaded. Doesn’t make sense to me.

I do realize some were never taught how to handle guns But I’m still confused as to why someone would point a gun in the direction of a person in general. Unless it was a rehearsal. If it was a rehearsal looks like someone else there would’ve opened up to the media about that being the case.

I wouldn’t point an empty gun at someone and I’d take a great deal of offense if someone pointed one at me.

The whole thing is blurry to me
