Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie "Rust," his lawyers said Thursday.

We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident, according to a joint statement by Baldwin's lawyers Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro.

From the bits and pieces that I've read and heard about this situation, I think this is the right move. Tragic situation all around, though.

if that were the limit of his role, sure. he was the executive director on the film and had more responsibilities than just be an actor. one of them was to hire the armorer, i do believe.

I'm surprised, last thing I remember is that one lawyer was gunning for manslaughter, and some organization or guild wanted to use a scapegoat to bring attention to safety protocols in movies

I thought he was pointing it at the camera for a shot, and then it went off and hit the camerawoman?

Yeah, there's so many weird things about that incident.
  • Do they really use real guns for movies?
  • Do they really have real bullets in the vicinity of said real guns?

I told yall

Currently on a set with completely fake guns with functioning parts other than the firing element. It's an easy fix, just costs more than what productions want to spend.

its really easy to pick out people who have never worked a day in their life. Because nobody who ever has worked with any sort of machinery or equipment is told to maintain it too.

They wouldn't which is why the armorer should be in prison since she said the gun wasn't loaded.

It seems the armorer is still facing charges. Hopefully she gets convicted.

Its part of the job to make sure your tools are in working order. If you are using a power tool, you don't tke any safety precautions to make sure the thing works?

He wasn't just "an actor". He was executive director and had more responsibility that your average joe.

If this was an isolated incident then fair enough but there is a long list of health and safety issues and non-compliance with this film and this was the unfortunate conclusion of that negligence.

People give Tom Cruise shit for being over protective on set but this is exactly why you need someone to take responsibility and take this shit seriously.

All the others were isolated innocents done by lone wolves.

Don't forget he's also liberal and pretty anti gun.

Gun worshippers are just vindictive towards him for those reasons and don't actually give a shit about the person who died, because gun worshippers are inhuman scum.

Probably got off because he's a wealthy celebrity.

If he was just an actor he'd have obviously been faultless but he was the film producer and took a bunch of shortcuts regarding safety on the set.
