Slamming 75-year-old former President Donald Trump for opining about 63-year-old actor/producer Alec Baldwin, fake news media has decided to defend Baldwin for his Oct. 21 shooting of 43-year-old “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin said he was told the gun was “cold” by Asst. Director Dave Halls, something Baldwin didn’t check before pulling the trigger. No one knows why the fake news has decided to defend Baldwin while they had no problem trying-and-convicting Trump of Russian collusion in the U.S. media. “In my opinion, he had something to do with it. But if nothing else, how do you take a gun, whether it’s loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that’s not even in the movie, and just point it at this person and pull the trigger, and now she’s dead?” Trump asked. For that statement, the fake news says Trump accused Baldwin of First Degree murder.
If you listen to the fake news, Baldwin has plenty of excuses why he pointed the gun gun and pulled the trigger at Hutchins, he’s not responsible. Only Trump’s responsible to colluding with Russia, even after cleared by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller March 23, 2019. Every opinion Trump has is attacked by the fake news because he must be prevented from running again in 2024. Only in Hollywood can someone point a gun, pull the trigger and kill someone and blame it on someone else. Can you imagine in the military if you shoot and kill you comrade and tell your commanding officer you didn’t know your gun was loaded? Only in Hollywood can you shoot someone, blame it your crew, then get bailed out by the media. Trump pointed out that Baldwin’s been prone toward erratic behavior, getting into fights, screaming at his daughter on videotape, etc.
Trump didn’t say that Baldwin deliberately shot Hutchins with the intent to cause her bodily harm. What he did raise was the legitimate point that he had no business pointing, pulling the trigger and shooting a Halyna because she was not part of the script for a shooting scene. Halyna was the director of photography, not part of the actors involved in any of the scenes. Trump called Baldwin on Christ Stigall Show podcast a “sick guy,” prompting the fake news to distort completely what he said. Trump didn’t say Baldwin committed First Degree murder, he simply said he was a “sick guy.” Trump didn’t like Baldwin’s portrayal of him on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” for at least two years, lampooning the ex-president. “Even if it was loaded, and, you know, that’s a weird thing, may he loaded it,” Trump said, speculation how the bullet got into the prop gun’s chamber.
Today’s media seeks to exonerate Baldwin, passing off the responsibility to other members on the “Rust” set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Calling Baldwin a “sick guy” prompted the press to dismiss Trump’s entire premise that someone operating a hand gun bears responsibility for when the gun’s discharged. Whether or not Baldwin had anything to do with loading the gun, he still had responsibility of knowing whether or not the gun was safe to point and pull the trigger. According to the fake news, Baldwin had zero responsibility for the Oct. 21 “accidental” shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins last words were, “Oh this is not good,” after taking the 45 caliber round in the abdomen before she died. No one in the press wants to hear Trump’s comments that Baldwin was a “sick guy,” despite the Santa Fe County Sheriff continuing to investigate the crime scene.
When you consider that Baldwin pointed the gun and pulled the trigger, it’s inconceivable that the Santa Fe County Sheriff could exonerate him completely because he’s the one that killed Hutchins. Whether there’s other responsibility assuaged to the “armorer” Hannah Gutierrez Reed or Asst. Director Dave Halls is anyone’s guess but certainly the primary focus of any investigations has to be on Baldwin. Crisis communication expert Eric Schiffer thinks Baldwin has already hurt his brand talking to the media. But no matter what Baldwin says, he’s the No. 1 suspect to the New Mexico Sheriff because he pulled the trigger. “He’s a troubled guy. There’s something wrong with him. I’ve watched him for years. He gets into fistfights with reporters . . . I mean, everything he does, he’s a volatile guy. He’s a nutjob, Trump told Stigall, raising more questions about Baldwin.
Discounting all of Trump said about Baldwin, Santa Fe authorities still have to figure out why Baldwin pointed a prop gun, loaded or not, at the cinematographer, when she wasn’t part of the screenplay. Trump clearly doesn’t like Baldwin for whatever reason. But it’s absurd that the media so readily defends Baldwin because he claims he didn’t know the gun was loaded. Whether or not Baldwin points fingers at Reed or Halls, he’s still the one that pointed-and-pulled the trigger. Trump’s got a good point when he says that Baldwin should not have pointed-and-pulled the trigger at Hutchins no matter what because she’s not part of the screenplay. But if Baldwin’s so innocent, why has the media rushed to his defense? There’s no question that Alec was not supposed for point-and-shoot the gun at Hutchins, because she was not an actor in the Rust screenplay in any shooting scene.
