1) As soon as the police read your Miranda Rights, STFU and call a lawyer!
2) If Alec Baldwin were anyone else in the US he would be in jail awaiting trial

[Edde]

The one who supplied the gun and safety guy should be charged. They have responsibility to keep everyone safe

[monkeyboy]

Send Baldwin to Ukraine so he can teach their army how to fire weapons without pulling the trigger.

Here at 4 comments, I reported two for links to pornography that become links to prostitutes in your area.
If You Tube uses Community Standards to regulate use we should help to define that properly.

How useless are the police if the ballistics still aren't done after 6 months. And they still haven't asked Alec where and who he got the gun from and why he was operating the gun without proper supervision.

Prison for Baldwin he's so narcissistic its sickening. Kim bassinger literally dodged a bullet . RIP to this beautiful woman

Just to be clear:
An actor does not have the legal or professional responsibility to have any working knowledge of weapons handling, marksmanship, or gun safety and maintenance. Their job is to perform credibly with a prop gun.

It isn’t your responsibility to check a prop gun if you are an actor - your job (again) is to take the prop gun from the assistant director, (who is the set manager), and rehearse and perform your acting part with it.

The First A.D.’s union job is to clear the gun from the amorist when it’s checked into the safe on set, and clear check it again before handing it to the actor.

Before those two checks, the armorist is responsible for being in possession of the prop gun, cleaning and maintaining it as well as safety checking that it is empty of blanks and personally delivering it to the safe cart on set and signing off with the First A.D.

Alec Baldwin had every right and even a responsibility to rely on the paid professionals and managers to deliver a safe prop gun to him to perform with.

If you don’t agree with this industry wide standard, maybe lobby to get some laws passed to ban film crews from turning real guns into prop guns, but the N.R.A would put out a contract on you for it.

It's sad she checked out so early, but she died doing what she loved. RIP

[ACTSVERSE]

They should remove officers' cell phones during interrogation. This addiction to being on our phones during an interview with a witness and potential suspect in a crime is sick. Put your damn phone away officer and concentrate on what Baldwin is saying.

[williammay]

It's telling how he just killed someone and doesn't seem to be upset about it at all. I'm guessing something else is a reason she was shot.

[codypippin]

They had someone with purple and yellow hair check the ammo?? Why not give a vet a job that actually knows how to identify ammo

[billclancy]

It's been two months since this update, I wonder what's going on. Firearm death and no charges...this is very odd.

[h.a]

Everyone is in shock and crying except for Alec! Little to no emotion from him whatsoever!

[georgesmartin]

He's a actor (emotional control) and it's not the first time he need to deal with justice!!

[alicesmith]

As tragic as her death was and as much as I can’t stand Alec Baldwin, since when is it an actor’s responsibility to make sure everything on set is safe? It’s not. He’s paid to show up and read a script.

[pennyulsenberg]

The film crew had all walked off the set the day before. There was animosity on that set. The firearms were left on a table not locked up at lunchbreak.the armorer seems young inexperienced ditzy. Alot going on here

[cathychrosniak]

What is it being slid under tell rug. There's a little boy
Out there without his mother. Somebody has to man up and some justice

[stuie]

Id strongly advise you not to talk to the police without a lawyer mr Baldwin..

[putinscat]

I should go work as a Santa Fe investigator. Sounds like a good long-term position.

[davecooke]

Where is his second and third interview? Someone is falling behind
