Oh man...
A new lawsuit was filed Wednesday over the fatal shooting incident on the set of the Alec Baldwin western “Rust” that names the star and producer as a defendant. In the lawsuit filed by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, Baldwin is accused of failing to follow the script’s direction by firing a gun when it wasn’t actually called for.
The shocking on-set shooting took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while wounding director Joel Souza. Mitchell, who is being represented by powerhouse Hollywood attorney Gloria Allred, is suing because she was allegedly injured during the incident.
In contrast to an earlier lawsuit filed by the movie’s gaffer, Serge Svetnoy, Mitchell’s lawsuit alleges that Baldwin and others committed intentional and deliberate acts.
"The events that led to the shooting by Mr. Baldwin of a loaded gun constituted intentional acts and/or omissions, without any just cause or excuse, on Alec Baldwin’s part or the Producers of “Rust”. Mr. Baldwin chose to play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun without checking it and without having the Armorer do so. His behavior and that of the Producers on “Rust” were intentional acts and/or omissions, without any just cause or excuse and with utter disregard of the consequences of said acts and/or omissions. The fact that live ammunition was allowed on a movie set, that guns and ammunition were left unattended, that the gun in question was handed to Mr. Baldwin by the Assistant director who had no business doing so, the fact that safety bulletins were not promulgated or ignored, coupled with the fact that the scene in question did not call for a gun to be fired at all, makes this a case where injury or death was much more than just a possibility – it was a likely result....
When the morning filming was completed, everyone broke for lunch. At that time, Plaintiff, Hutchins and Souza met and spoke together in order to confirm what filming would take place after the lunch break. It was discussed that there would be 3 tight camera shots when filming resumed. One camera shot would be focused on DEFENDANT BALDWIN’S eyes, one would be focused on a blood stain on DEFENDANT BALDWIN’S shoulder, and the third would focus on DEFENDANT BALDWIN’S torso as he reached his hand down to his holster and removed the gun. There was nothing in the script about the gun being discharged by DEFENDANT BALDWIN or by any other person."

Trump Jr is selling those on his website. Which is exactly the type of 3rd grade behavior we've come to expect.
The fucking 3rd grade behavior is a prick movie star picking up a gun, pointing at people and pulling the trigger, then acting surprised when he kills someone. The fucking 3rd grade behavior is using that event as a way to attack Trumps son for ridiculing the movie star for being a bone headed dumbass. The fucking 3rd grade behavior is you pretending to use logic regarding Trump when he's butt fucked you so hard that you actually go to Trump Jr's website to see what he's doing.

Hey, no need to use 2nd grade language here. We're discussing 3rd grade behavioral standards, such as selling T-shirts after someone dies.

Hear that metallic sound?
That's the sound of Alec Baldwin's HUGE balls clanking together.
Alec Baldwin blames late Halyna Hutchins in fatal ‘Rust’ shooting
Alec Baldwin filed legal papers Friday denying any responsibility for shooting dead Halyna Hutchins — even blaming the late cinematographer for giving him the directions that led to the deadly accident.
The 63-year-old actor insisted that every single mistake leading to the Oct. 21 shooting on the New Mexico set of “Rust” was “performed by someone else.”
His filing Friday also revealed that Baldwin made an “exhaustive effort” to get the crew back together to finish the doomed movie even after a flurry of lawsuits blamed him for mom-of-one Hutchins’ death.
“This is a rare instance when the system broke down, and someone should be held legally culpable for the tragic consequences,” the star’s lawyer, Luke Nikas, wrote in an arbitration filing Friday shared by Deadline.
“That person is not Alec Baldwin,” said the filing, adding that he is just “an actor.”
The arbitration demand against Baldwin’s fellow producers claims the star’s contract protects him from any financial responsibility in a slew of lawsuits filed against him, including the wrongful death complaint filed by Hutchins’ widow.
Even without that clause, Baldwin was completely innocent in the “unthinkable tragedy,” according to the filing, which revealed he was paid $250,000 to star in and produce the low-budget western.

@Klaus said in Alec Baldwin what the fuck:
But is the problem really whether he put his finger on the trigger? (apart from him lying about it) That's what you do in a movie. The problem was that the gun was loaded.
Of course.
Baldwin claimed he pulled the hammer of the gun as far back as he could and released it, but never pulled the trigger of the gun. Baldwin admitted in interviews with authorities and during a televised interview that he was not aware there was a live round inside the revolver when he pointed it at Hutchins.
Granted that photo doesn't show him actually pulling the trigger, but his finger is clearly on it.
This photo is from a rehearsal. If he had his finger on the trigger during rehearsal, I'll venture it was there during shooting.
Also, speaking to a friend yesterday, he told me (and I don't know if it's true or not) that the responsibility for making sure a firearm is safe lies not only on the armorer, but also on the actor. BOTH are to check the weapon and ensure that it is safe.
