He's simply going for the money grab. There will be quite a few lawsuits related to this.

Most interesting was his comments on safety, and I thought the armorer should be able to spot a live round versus a dummy.

I wouldn’t automatically assume any lawsuit in this situation is a money grab. Two people were shot and one killed by someone. It’s kind of a big deal.

He may not have "needed" to use the gun, but it seems like a normal thing to do in rehearsal.

If the scene did not call for him to pull the trigger, as the suit alleges, his argument that he was doing as instructed is really undermined.

Agreed. I was defending him against negligence charges because it seemed he was acting within the scope of his duties and expected practice for that work environment but this is really problematic for him. He really seems like he has been on his last string for a while now, with the combo of age, his wife’s mental health problems and public embarrassment, and the endless stream of young children. Most guys that age don’t sleep well to start with. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been running on empty. (And hopefully not back on the coke. He has a reputation for that in the 80s). I do wonder if everyone was drug/alcohol tested after the shooting. I haven’t seen any reference to that.

He posted a video to instagram earlier that week, and he was rambling and puffy. And he is house hunting in Vermont for cheaper houses. I think he knows he is screwed.

Screwed or not, he killed someone. And he's upset by it.

I would also be upset by that, as would other people. Seems like a normal thing.

He's suing for emotional distress. Yes, it sounds like a money grab. By his ambulance chasing lawyer, if not by him.

Yes, I think it would be very odd if he weren't upset by it. I guess I don't know what you're getting at.

The most he'll get is go away money by people who will pay it to avoid being deposed.

I think his lawyer's repulsive. But maybe it's me.

Exactly. He had little to do with anything except seeing it happen. A total money grab especially in that industry where work can be spotty for his kind of job.

Yes that will be the end of this entire mess. As is typical the insurance company will do NDAs, and it will be a wrap. No one is going to prison on this on. Maybe a fine?

I would be upset to even if it wasn't my fault. Nor is it his, but he needs to learn self control and STFU. And get off social media!

What a sad thing to spend your time hoping for.

They are obsessed with hatred. Maybe Alec took their parking space or didn't tip them enough. Very odd.

DP. No, it is the fact that he willfully violated the safety rules (accepting a gun from someone who wasn't the armorer, aimed the gun in the direction of people, and FIRED the damn gun) that has us upset. And then he jaunts off to Vermont for a little family vacation. He is disgusting and he deserves to go to jail. I also hope that the family of the deceased and the people who were injured by the shots go after him in civil court and take him to the cleaners.

I'm sure you're equally disgusted at the director and cinematographer, too, for trusting the armorer to do her job and for instructing Baldwin to point w gun in their general direction. Right?

No. I remain disgusted at Alec Baldwin, who was HOLDING THE GUN and PULLED THE TRIGGER. HE IS COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTS, even though he won't take responsibility for his acts.

It is remarkably apt and pathetic, and absolutely in keeping with his lack of character, that he is claiming it wasn't his fault.

I admit I have never liked him. We have known him socially since the 90s. While I am (well, was, because I will not ever be civil to him again) civil when we were in social circles, I would never allow him to cross a foot into our home or to one of our parties. I have friends who told their female staff members that they were NEVER EVER to be trapped alone with him because he was such a sleazeball. That was good advice then and probably good advice now. He hasn't improved any obviously.

The people he shot and the family of the young woman he killed should sue him for every penny he has. If they set up a Go Fund Me then my husband and I will contribute for that purpose. He should not be allowed out in society.

The problem is you need to separate the two. Yes he may be a jerk etc. etc. etc. but that doesn't mean he's guilty. From everything I've read most of the liability will fall on the AD, and the armorer. It sounds fun to say, "sue for every penny", BUT in the real world it simply means the insurance company will payout.
