- Alec Baldwin reports to the new "Rust" film set in Montana, one day after prosecutors dropped criminal charges against him in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It's a far cry from New Mexico, where production came to an abrupt halt in 2021 following the tragic shooting. Prosecutors in the case say "new facts were revealed that demand further investigation and forensic analysis in the case."

Only a celebrity could get off a charge like this ridiculous he pointed it at her and pulled the trigger he needs to be charged
I care that he’s found innocent so when an accident happens no one else is prosecuted. The person who handed him the gun whose job it was to ensure safety is responsible. Question now is why was the gun modified? Did someone want to intentionally end her?
Or frame the hater of Trump impersonator
Apparently. She's gone now. Baldwin gets to play, as if nothing ever happened.
You and many folks who want gun control can't get it through your thick skulls that Baldwin is the one whose responsibility it was to check the gun for live ammo. All he needed to do was empty the cylinder, check the rounds, and reload them. He neglected to do this knowing that: 1. The gun was real and not modified. 2. Live rounds were being used for target practice on the premises; therefore, the potential that live rounds might be mixed with blanks was possible. The buck stops with Alec and with him it stays. He is fully culpable, so stop trying to excuse him.
@@babyteano1977 - is there evidence of foul play, knowing that Baldwin would not check the cylinder for live rounds?
But Alec Baldwin employed the person responsible for handling the gun, he is an actor and producer therefore this was his set, and like every employer you still bare responsibility
If this happened to a regular everyday person they would have put them under the jail because it's Alec Baldwin they're going to tiptoe around the situation 🤔
IF THIS HAPPENED TO A NORMAL EVERYDAY PERSON THEY WOULD BE CHARGED
Murder means intent. It's gonna be very hard proving that Baldwin intended to kill when he was told that the gun was cold. Whoever the armourer is needs to face Manslaughter charges because her negligence killed somebody. It's much easier to charge and prove that somebody didn't do their job.
Charged yes, guilty no.
or a black guy
Kid named Kyle Rittenhouse
They were dismissed because more money was brought to the table!
Short answer: he's a celebrity
Long answer: he's a celebrity with money
Or armorer who cannot do its damn job haha
It really does just come down to that.
baldwin is also an arrogant, prideful, and unrepentant man who thinks he can do no wrong. God is watching.
Funny how the gun didn't misfire until he pretended to shoot her
That wife is young enough to be his grandchild.
and that has to do with…
hollywood loves young children host!
No she’s not that young at all.
"I didn't pull the trigger" meanwhile has finger on trigger in the practice shots just moments earlier. He absolutely negligently discharged the gun. Minimum he should've been charged with was reckless manslaughter.
He did not load the gun. The dropping of charges was correct.
"I'm going to shoot this totally prop gun that my totally professional associate prop guy whom I trust completely"
how was supposed to know it was loaded
@@wanaraz
He had a firearm in his hands, everyone
knows what that means loaded or not.
Obviously you don't.
@@autumnpastime so obviously not everyone. durp.
He did not pull the trigger, he pulled the hammer back and let go, than the gun fired.
This case should be about safety on the work site. Every employee should be interviewed regarding safety. This will determine who is at fault. His lie about not pulling the trigger can always be debated. My feeling is Baldwin was in charge and cutting corners to save money.
The FBI had the gun and forensically proved that it could not be fired without pulling the trigger. 🤷🏼♂️

Why Were Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Shooting Charges Dismissed?
Answer: Because his a celebrity, if it was just a regular guy the very first day he would be in jail.
no, the gun was rigged by her. she rigged it to shoot without the trigger pulled. it was basically her fault, as like a suicide. she even put a real bullet in the chamber
@@Diaafem ya not true at all… how’s the gun supposed to fire without a trigger?
@Jimmy Oryan the gun was modified meaning that when the gun was cocked, it fired without him actually pulling the trigger hence why the charges were dropped. The armorer is the one to blame
Actually the case was always garbage, it wasn't his responsibility to magically know the gun was real.
The gun was mechanically improper , it could shoot without even pulling the trigger
Class/Status obviously plays a role in this! The charges wouldn't have been dropped nearly as quickly if he was a behind the scenes worker like the one whom passed away, and not some big shot actor...
Alec Baldwin and whoever else may have been involved still needs to face punishment!
The alternative to not letting this go unpunished would just be the defeatist approach of accepting an industry where some rich guy can kill a man on the job and get away with it.
It's been a year and a half. I would not call that quickly.
@@wanaraz for murder? It is.
@@e-4051 no it is not. It depends on some other factors but not this one.
@@e-4051 Murder? The gun was tampered with before it was giving to Alec, meaning he didn’t actually pull the trigger.
@@swapzilla1012 quick, who had the gun and where was it pointed?
This is pathetic, the charges were dropped because he is a famous person. If this was you or me we would’ve been behind bars on day one.
Correction: the charges were dropped because he's a famous LEFTIST person.
Shut up
Inb4 new evidence and then you say he was innocent all along
All you watch is conspiracy videos and religious doomsday propaganda…your opinion is useless.
He paid people it’s clear
Coincidently the judge will be moving into one of Baldwin's mansions in Malibu next week....
Money buys happiness. Sucks that those of us without money have to face “justice”. If the system really did want to protect people and was not all about money, then why do they let people post bail for a price? There’s always a price
urder means intent. It's gonna be very hard proving that Baldwin intended to kill when he was told that the gun was cold. Whoever the armourer is needs to face Manslaughter charges because her negligence killed somebody.
This doesn't pass the smell test. A year later they discover its been modified. C'mon sounds awfully convenient. What how much that "modification" cost Baldwin
notice they had to get rid of the old DA before this happened. laws just exist for little people and political dissidents.
Because someone got paid
This is ridiculous. Any regular person would have been thrown in jail. Baldwin got off because he’s extremely wealthy and well connected. This is a disgusting failure of the “justice” system.
Ridiculous is an understatement. He should be charged for manslaughter at least.
no. when you're an actor, the gun that you hold is not your responsibility. the armorer, the person who handles the weapons AND THE AMMO, should be charged. the gun should've never had live rounds in it and that's completely the armorer's fault.
@@mademoisellell and RULE ZERO of firearms handling is you NEVER point a weapon unloaded or otherwise at anything you don’t intend to destroy. There was no filming going on when it happened. He was screwing around. Negligently.
Exactly
@dani, wow, a gun you hold is your responsibility whether your an actor or not. The common sense 😂😂
So if a gang member commits a murder he can just say his home boy told him it wasn't loaded and he didn't pull the trigger? Would the charges be dropped?
"Why were the charges dropped"... Because of his politics and celebrity status. The end.
I don't think you know how the law works when you think the charges were dropped for said reason. Prove me wrong if otherwise, I am open to opposing opinions.
I knew there would be people like you, because the charges were guaranteed to be eventually dropped. Or him found innocent that trial. Because the New Mexico prosecutor had to do a lot of stretching to even bring up charges.
@@neilkurzman4907 Imagine being this naive. If ANY average citizen was in the very position Alec Baldwin was in, They would've been put in prison immediately. Regardless if it was an "accident" or not.
@@hipsterjelly14 Look at all the celebrities that actually killed/severely injured people and got off because they had celebrity status/money. Especially when it comes to drunk driving, Assault and battery, Sexual assault, Attempted murder etc.
@@joeyharper4976 You need to provide some examples of celebrities getting away with a conviction of a crime, since there is usually a reason/multiple reasons for such instance. In Alec Baldwins case charges were dropped due to the fact that he was never negligent with what happened during the incident. It was the armourers responsibility to ensure live rounds were not to be loaded into the gun and only blank rounds used, especially if there is film crew around and there happened to be a misfire which occured. It's the fact that there was no responsibility on Baldwin to have the charges dismissed, however the armourer should be charged for negligence as of loading live ammo and a misfire occuring. Prove me wrong if you think otherwise.
They got dismissed because he's a star.... if that was you or me we would be locked up
In a tweet she said there is enough proof to put Hillary Clinton away for good. Wonder if Alec didn’t like her politics. Just saying. ❤
It just proves that money and fame will get you out of murder but if I misgender someone…. I can get charged
It's actually INSANE that anyone thought he would be found criminally responsible. The most they could hope to get him for his Wrongful Death based on him being one of the producers in charge of the set and armory crew. Baldwin would had to have known the gun might be loaded in order to be proven guilty of manslaughter. But every gun on the set is supposed to be cleared as "cold" and he had every right to believe that took place when one of the directors handed him that gun. Maybe Dave Hall wanted Hutchins dead.
He fired the gun didn’t he?
He pointed a loaded SINGLE ACTION revolver at someone, pulled back the hammer, and pulled the trigger.
Because he's a "Celebrity" and a Democrat, and everyone knows they're above the law!
He whyt tooo
Even if the gun was modified he as the producer should have made sure that it was not loaded with live ammunition on set...
This man got away with murder and if you want to sue me go ahead
Prosecutors waited so long to charge him, and suddenly there is new info they didn't know about? Big sums of money have been known to work wonders in NM.
Lol that family rubs me the wrong way, from him being an abuser to his child, to her faking being another ethnicity, but I’m with the judge on this one. His job wasn’t safety on the set.
In this world of high tech filmmaking, you think the cameraperson could stand to the side of the camera and watch action through a monitor so that no one will be in the line of fire. Hollywood should make this the rule. No one on set is allowed to be in the line of fire when a gun scene is done
@@mycomment8267 Understood . In manufacturing there is a Japanese term called pokey yoke meaning make a process idiot proof so that rejects do not happen. In filmmaking the pokey yoke approach is never point a gun straight at a person. This is also the hunters code for gun safety.
The killing was accidental, and it's not like Alec Baldwin was going to murder her.
You wouldn't let anyone else off that easy.
@@SunRise-lr7ch Wasn't his responsibility, it was the armourers responsibility therefore charges were dropped.
@@hipsterjelly14 He's the producer. He hired her. He'd been through set saftey training many times before as well as claiming to be an expert on ALL things gun related.
And even if he did shoot, how was he to know the gun had real bullets in it. He was doing a movie 😅 I don’t think he woke up that day and said im going to murder someone today. 😅 It was a tragic accident unfortunately.
And he gets away with neglect that ended with death, the kind that most "little people" would be held responsible for regardless of intent. Always treat a firearm like it's loaded (unless you get off the hook like Baldwin, then that's different).
@@christopherrobin361 exactly
@@christopherrobin361 along with the fact that he actively called for gun owners to go to jail in the past for defending themselves
@@christopherrobin361 Absolute garbage. No, the armorer is at fault, period. It's exactly the same thing as if the armorer handed someone a live grenade, and declared it a prop grenade, and then it exploded when the actor threw it. It's not the actor's job or responsibility to know what a live grenade looks like, and to make sure the props aren't REAL.
In fact if Baldwin didn't do funny Trump impersonations he never would have been charged. This was a political prosecution from the beginning, and it was brought by a SITTING LEGISLATOR. Which is a clear violation of separation of powers. You can't have the legislative branch prosecuting criminal cases, the judicial branch is supposed to do that.
But this prosecutor was running for office and didn't like Baldwin's Trump impersonations. So she charged him with manslaughter over garbage.
@@ConsciousExpression "No, the armorer is at fault, period." You're just getting him off the hook on paper. He's on the spot for firing the weapon regardless of intent.
I still feel like everyone who touched or handled the firearm should face manslaughter like anyone else who isn't rich and famous
Guarantee you if it was any normal person instead of a celebrity it’d be an entirely different story, famous people need to be held accountable too
I keep seeing you everywhere on this channel in the past ten minutes 😭
Can you prove that guarantee?
@@ChristianB2 bot
True except this wasn’t his fault since he didn’t put that real bullet in the gun so
@@DBSGEEK7 clown
This shows you want money can buy
*????*
Continuing the movie?! Seems like a poor choice!!
Money talks
Its Hannah Gutierrez Reeds fault PERIOD! She wanted to shoot live ammunition on the set and that’s why there’s a live round in the prop gun
That case was never going to go anywhere. 🙄
If your finger was on the trigger, then you pulled it. No finger on trigger, it ain’t gonna fire by itself. How many times has that gun fire all by itself while it was in storage and transport?
The finger on the trigger it’s something you’re focusing on. It is irrelevant to the nature of the accident. The point is the Director could’ve easily told them and I’ll pull the trigger. Because all three of them didn’t think there was a real bullet in the gun.
@@neilkurzman4907 You don't know the safety rules of firearms do you?
@@christopherrobin361
My drill sergeant taught me all of them.
You don’t know the safety rules for a movie set, or an industrial environment.
Tell me when you go onto a new range do you learn the rules for that range, will you just use your own personal ones? Because no, they’re not the same everywhere.
@@neilkurzman4907 Nice dismissal you ranted there.
"will you just use your own personal ones?"
Like Alec Baldwin as one for himself, obviously.
some of u hate baldwin so much u want him charged even though prosecutors ADMIT the gun could have gone off without him pulling the trigger, and it was the armorers job to make sure the gun was cold.
The armorer is the only person to blame.
AB did not load the gun people. That's why he has charges dropped. He's not allowed to load the gun.
Okay so if someone doesn't put gas in my car and I thought it didn't have anymore and I run someone over it's not my fault?
@@alangwhiteTheBossWhy would you drive your car when you know there is no gas in it? Along with that, if you thought you didn’t have gas, I’m pretty sure once you get into the car and turn it on, the first thing you do would be to see if you had gas or not.
@@alangwhiteTheBoss What if the gas you purchased someone accidently put in jet fuel. You start your car and it explodes and kills someone else filling up their tank. Should you go to prison for starting and exploding your gas tank? After all if you had checked the gasoline it would not have happened.
Outrageous. Another celebrity gets away with no fault.
Of course the charges wre dropped. Shooting someone in the chest isnt a bad as paying a porn star!
Yup he owes her a cucumber
The film should just get cancelled so they don't have to keep fighting over it as the charges may come back.
Thinks that we should have more gun laws.
Gets his lawyer to argue the laws don't apply to him.
Because to you with something to do with a gun.
He was supposed to be holding a fake gun. The only reason it’s an issue to you is because it was Alec Baldwin the set was so poorly run, it could easily have been him that got shot.
@@neilkurzman4907 Baldwin's Wild West Production.
I'm so glad he got off it. I don't even care for him. I just don't want an innocent man in prison for a crime that was accidental.
Don't put your face in your profile pic. Doesn't work for you.
He killed a person that was unavoidable.
He ain’t innocent you 🤡
That's very white of you
He killed someone on set playing around with a gun, it was supposed to be a joke. While it may have been unintentional, he did it, point blank. No one can argue with that. What makes him liable for that mistake is that it wasn’t during a rehearsal or movie clip, it was done joking after a clip. That’s what makes him liable for it.
I mean why not? You guys make it sound as if it's his fault. He's not sherlock you know?
I feel that he is still guilty.
Why?
So Alec "can't legally answer journalists' questions or comment on the ongoing investigation" but can go on and on saying what he wants to about the crime he committed, the fact that he "can't be guilty" because he bought his 'friend' the woman he murdered dinner while when asked he refused to swear off firing guns on his future movie sets.
The final picture is actually cringe af 😕
I can only imagine how much he paid in legal fees and whatever else to avoid jail time. Lucky him
The modification that Inside deception didn't specify is that everyone involved in the decision to set Alec free gets a career promotion, more money, and free tickets to the movie Rust..
Class/Status obviously plays a role in this! The charges wouldn't have been dropped nearly as quickly if he was a behind the scenes worker like the one whom passed away, and not some big shot actor...
@@akay_2 Baloney
Think about it this way, Alec baldwin is going to have to live with what he has done for the rest of his life. I don't see why he should be thrown in prison, he's not a public safety threat, and I'm sure he understands what he has done. I don't see a point with throwing him in prison if he's already going to have to live with so much guilt for the rest of his life.
Well if you put it that way then everyone who is in any type of accident that results in someone losing their life should be treated the same way. Your logic doesn’t make sense. You really think people shouldn’t be punished just because they may be remorseful and will “suffer” for the rest of their life? The photos posted by him and him wife don’t show him suffering, he looks relieved that he won’t be held accountable and that’s evident in the special thanks he gave to his lawyer for getting him off the hook.
Thanks PR firm astroturfer.
Well Matthew Hutchins will never be able to hold his wife again, but Alec the narcissistic coward Baldwin still can.
Would you have to same dismissive lack of empathy if your wife, or your brother, or your best friend, died at the hands of a callous coward that’s now potentially facing no recourse?…..
You feel that way because it’s not your mom your sister your daughter your mom. Put yourself in the victims shoes. I’m not saying he deserved to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life and I know he didn’t load the gun but accident happened and somebody gotta pay for it.
Shush yo. The law is the law even if ur famous the law should still be applied to you like it does with every person on this land !! why does he or any famous celebrities get a tiny slap on the hand. This proves yet again how the justice system fails us all and the Falling victim tremendously. Absolutely disgusting
He was responsible for Helenas death he should have checked that revolver to make sure it was unloaded. If I touch a gun I always check any gun to make sure it is safe and I never horseplay with any gun
Exactly.
Simple answer: money
Good question: Ask Chicago’s DA about Jussie Smollett. You’ll probably get a similar answer.
If there's any film worth boycotting, it's this one.
Alec Baldwin shouldn't be finishing this film, he should be in jail.
Because it’s not his fault. It’s the armorer’s fault. That’s why.
They need to just scrap this movie. At this point, I don’t think anybody wants to see it.
His money bought him off
...it didn't misfire... he pulled the trigger. He killed that young lady
I think whoever handed the gun to him before shooting the scene is at fault just my opinion, Alec is an actor at end of day not a firearm expert
For the same reason that Dua Lipa won her copyright lawsuit: 🤑🤑🤑
Although I think Baldwin is a horrible person in real life, he didn't intend on harming anyone. The responsibility should be on the film crewmember in charge of the firearms. Similar to the death of Brandon Lee, Baldwin shouldn't be held accountable for the accidental death.
He is horrible because he is not in line with your political view ???
@@200555280 Yes, differing personal opinions often make people to be "horrible", but even if someone is horrible, doesn't mean you wish an innocent man to go to jail. He didn't intend to hurt anyone. a movie set is supposed to be pretend land, no reason to have real bullets in a gun.
@@200555280
Whether Alec Baldwin is a good or bad person is a relevant to the nature of the accident. If it had been one of the other no-name actors on the set, then this would’ve fallen under the category of Brandon Lee, with no charges filed.
I read that he just had hip replacement surgery, so when does the child of the woman he killed get mom replacement surgery? But the good news is he can play James Bond as he now has a liscence to kill
Outrageous misogyny the Hannah Guiterrez Reed is still being charged. She is the top Armorer in the business.
Someone got paid off.
Money money money.
Alec killed sombody and hes acting like hes blessed 🙌 in the pictures
He deserves a criminal manslaughter charge. He lies about not pulling the trigger too, which is providing false information to law enforcement, another felony.
I think it was a cold blooded murder. I think he planned it. He wanted everyone to know he killed her and got away with it. Now he is playing a victim. I think he is enjoying himself very much. He is laughing how stupid everyone is that they believe him.
"Cought up with" implying she know you were going to talk to her no you just found her and shove a mic at her then start asking questions how would you feel if someone did that to you all the time
Continuing production of this movie after all this is disgusting.
Oh excellent. Do people think he ment to shoot her.
Say that if he were a Republican
He should never have been put through this . He wasn't the one responsible for the checking of the gun . The family should sue the production company though they were obviously negligent
He has handle guns before and should have checked it.
@@Patrick-yh5yd what the literal job of a gun safety marshal on set

This is all the armory experts fault. She didn't do her job properly
He shot the gun..hed had set saftey training many times before.

Why do you despise Halyna so much. Her last work and you want to boycott it.
Of course the charge was dropped, because Alec Baldwin is innocent, which is just common sense.
Alec Baldwin, the actor was certainly innocent. But I believe all of the producers of the movie should’ve been charged with creating the unsafe environment that caused the accident. But that never happens in America.
@@neilkurzman4907 Yeah. I don't understand why a prop gun was able to kill people.
@@liedebunker1253
Alec Baldwin also didn’t understand why his prop gun somehow fired a bullet. If you listen to the statements taken early on, he didn’t even understand that it had fired a bullet The two people that got shot were equally surprised. Especially they were the ones telling Baldwin to aim the gun at them.
Safety first.
It was a revolver , the only way to get it to discharge is to pull the trigger ! No way that gun just went off. Not to mention if this was filmed in GA , several people would have been charged.
Because the color of his skin. It doesn’t take a genius to know that
@Mynamejeff 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Payoff pure and simple.
Bull💩
He needs to be held accountable
disgusting shows how if you're rich you can get away with anything... boycott all of his projects from now on thank you
So, it was a defective gun after all... so he was saying the truth when he said it fired on its own...
Because he’s rich.
Because he is a celebrity!
Just shows you, if youre rich you can do anything you want.
You know there is something fishy if Alec baldwins wife isn’t answering
Does it really matter if he pulled the trigger or not? I would never point a gun at a person and pull the trigger... no, really? How bout when the camera is rollin and ur shooting the scene ...where u pull the trigger??? He was practicing his quick draw, y point in anyones direction period? I was taught never to point a gun at someone unless I meant to use it. Besides that, the gun was supposed to be empty, guns with bullets r heavier and if it was a revolver u can see the bullets without much effort. And even if not then check the damn thing before u go Billy The Kid with it. Just sayin, he is NOT inocent cause he didnt take steps to make sure it was ok. Oh, and it was a real gun which also shouldnt be. Oh, and the crew were shooting bottles during breaks which tells lots about the mentality on set. And Alec being a main producer is responsible for the crew.
If charges were dropped, it meas that Alec Baldwin did not pull the trigger after all?
No, Alec Baldwin probably pull the trigger. But that doesn’t change the fact. It’s an industrial accident caused by negligence of the production company.
Once again it is proven that money can buy anything. Being a celebrity is a go free ticket if they committed a crime. Very sickening to see celebrities getting away free even for murder
I think he deserves it there is a lot more on this case the. What it seems the person who’s as shots husband joined the project after she was dead. I think it was between the person who loaded it and the husband
He can murder and get away with it. IMO❤
So does he get a pass on manslaughter because he's rich
