Alec Baldwin: I didn't pull the trigger

How? Was the gun magical?

I thought they went off if you just looked at them? They’re pretty scary looking after all.

That has to be his answer when the lawsuits start dropping. Think logically from a legal standpoint not from a real world standpoint.

I wonder if murder charges are on the table.

Why people bring this up in a wow forum is beyond me. Just leave the dude alone putting more salt on the wound isn’t going to help heal it.

um, is this something in 9.2 or a long ago quest chain? Can’t recall a character named this.

Hmm seems like something a hunter would say after firing off barrage before a tank pulls.

I was shocked when seeing this but I’m guessing it’s psychological trauma. I think he is unable to come to terms with having accidentally killed a person. I don’t think this is a time to be making fun of him. Why aren’t you making a thread about the other shooting that killed 4 kids? Is this because he is an actor? Hollywood nut jobs that deserve to be ridiculed at anything?

Was going to say that he’s a darling on the left and you’re going to get flagged, either for that or being non-wow related… but as I was typing, you did indeed get flagged.

Better luck next time, I guess.

“with ‘period weapons’, it is possible to fire the gun without intentionally pulling the trigger. If the hammer is back and cocked, it could only take a light touch or pull on the trigger to discharge the gun, they added.”

OP, You seem to have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

This is general discussion for world of warcraft.

Completely fair… what reasonable person ever points a gun at another person even if it’s a prop, or loaded with duds? At best this was something incredibly stupid that caused the loss of a human life.

But, I had zero respect for Baldwin before this, this didn’t do anything to improve my opinion of the guy.

As someone who lives in Albuquerque, let me just say. It is very difficult to take a wrong turn here. People just do it on purpose. :heart:

Murder is premeditated, the accused didn’t shoot with intent to kill, since the gun was supposed to be fake according to everyone on the set including the perpetrator.

Accidental killing of a person is called manslaughter.

It’d seem very unlikely a pistol in that state would be handed to an actor.

Why not? You would think they would have known the difference between a live round and a blank but they failed that obviously.

Because it’s obviously unsafe. A gun that fires unexpectedly, even when loaded with blanks, can cause injury.

I went to albuquerque expressly to make wrong turns.
