'We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild and the crazy,'
I can imagine a scene from it now:
ALEC: Now Noah, you stand right here while Daddy goes an punches out that asshole paparazzi! Understand?
[Noah nods yes.]
ALEC: Good boy! [To paparazzi] Get away from me and my family, you motherfu.......
Will there be cucumbers?
Hillaria, can you say a few words in English for us? Folks, when we met she was a peasant girl, straight from Spain. She had picked up some English, sometimes surprisingly so.
He's a murderer. But as a Progressive, he will walk. We all know this story. It happens over and over and over again.
Ridiculous charge.
1. He's running out of money.
2. "Its working title is 'The Baldwins.'"
I apologize to everyone for the times I've denigrated the low IQs of Hollywood types. The brain power that went into that title, the creativity...it's off-the-charts genius.
I am humbled...
Will his fake Hispanic wife sound normal or like an extra from West Side Story?
This is child abuse. IIt has been tried before and never ends well for the family.
To me it is a desperate move. The film industry, the part made up of the technical staff that create the shows and settings, may have been making their voices heard on who they will no longer work with.
I just want to hear Hilaria’s accent again.
If it ends like robert durst
I'll always stand behind Alec Baldwin.
Way behind.
I can understand Baldwin having some liability as the producer who hired the armorer, but I don’t see how he has liability as the shooter. If the gun was given to him as a blank gun and he thought it was a blank gun and had no reason to suspect it was even capable of shooting real bullets, then how could he be culpable?
I hope he’s planning on giving the profits to the family of the woman he killed.
I didn't realize that I could like Alec Baldwin any less.
Maybe he can announce that he now identifies as “Alexandra Baldwin” and cut his cock off…
then how could he be culpable?
Because he pulled the damn trigger. It's that simple.
One is supposed to treat every gun as loaded. And one should never point a gun at a person unless they intend to shoot them.
If he'd actually taken a gun-safety course - instead of constantly running his fucking mouth about the Nazis at the NRA - he wouldn't be in this situation.
He deserves everything coming to him. In spades.
perfect comment by ALTHOUSE. Let justice prevail.
I’ll bet this show will be hilarious.
She was exposed as a fraud and a liar, while he is responsible for the manslaughter of a co-worker, and just recently was filmed assaulting someone, again. And The Learning Channel is ready to jump into bed with them.
Just what do they have to do to become toxic?
How simply awful. I was hoping Alec and Hilaria might surprise me.
I see I'm not the only devotee waiting to once again drink in Hilaria's cultured Spanish accent, the authentic one from the hills, well... Chestnut Hill, anyway.
"then how could he be culpable?"
Because he pulled the damn trigger. It's that simple.

The rule of law treats people... persons equally... equitably... "=".
Which one of the children is the one he called a "pig" on that recorded phone call from a few years back?
Perhaps the broadcast will help put a dent in the population crisis. Baldin is net plus 7.
@tim maguire, he deliberately blew off the gun safety meetings held by his armorer, then mishandled a firearm leading to an accidental discharge of the firearm which led, in turn, to the death of an innocent individual.
I don’t know how many thousands of times I’ve fired a single action revolver in competition. Counting cap and ball revolvers fired in competition at the North-South Skirmish Association*, it has to be well over 10,000 times. Add in practice sessions and you have to double or triple that. (It’s that low because I only found my way into the sport in my 60s. Some of my fellow shooters had been shooting competitively since they were in their teens and have surely sent well over a million rounds down range. And, yes, they were much better than I was.)
The way one of those single action revolvers works, you pull back the hammer until it is in the full cock position. This rotates the cylinder and locks it into position so that the bored-through chamber is aligned with the barrel. Pulling the trigger then releases the hammer, which flies forward. There is a conical firing pin mounted on the hammer, which strikes the primer in the bottom of the cartridge in the chamber. The primer explodes, igniting the propellant (gunpowder) and forcing the bullet out of the cartridge, down the barrel, and out the muzzle. There is also a half cock position that allows the cylinder to rotate freely for loading or unloading purposes. The trigger cannot be pulled in the half cock position.
There are two ways to fire the revolver accidentally. The first is to have the trigger depressed when you go to cock the hammer. With the trigger depressed the hammer will not hold in either the full or half cock position, so the hammer flies forward and the cartridge gets fired. This is the most likely thing to have happened on the movie set, especially since a still photo taken just before the fatal incident shows Baldwin with his finger inside the trigger guard.
The second way to fire a single action revolver accidentally is to release the hammer before it reaches the half cock position. The hammer will come forward, though without the velocity it has when released from the full cock position. Could it cause an accidental discharge anyway? Maybe, if the primer was sufficiently sensitive. At the range I could not make it fire from releasing the hammer from before the half cock position, but maybe…
Either way, Baldwin mishandled a firearm and the fault is his.
I do not accept the excuse that he was told the gun was “cold.” Rule #1 of firearm safety is to treat all guns as loaded. You break the rules, someone dies, you should be punished.

THIS^^ If Baldwin wasn't always so busy to mouth off about gun control, and actually had some training around guns he would know that, but his mouth gets in the way.

The one who isn't on the show that he had with Kim Basinger who just had his first grandchild.
Every person who handles a gun, whether it's a gun picked up or one handed to him/her, must inspect that gun to know its condition. Loaded or not loaded?
Assume nothing,

Have Gun - Will Travel Paladin on Gun Safety
With seven kids, I'm sure some of them have non-left-wing thoughts now and again. I await those who parallel Ron Reagan and Patti Davis (the kids of Ronald Reagan), as they achieved minor fame by attacking their father's politics in the 1980s.
Which of the kids is the one Alec called a fat pig?
"Leland said...
Which of the kids is the one Alec called a fat pig?"
Pretty sure his daughter Ireland. And I think it was "little pig."
"Hilaria..."
Who laughed the loudest when that name was typed on the birth certificate form? The registrar or the clerk?
The Latinate form is an epic-scale absurdity. Roman girls rarely received a given name. Usually, they went by the feminine form of her sire's Gens. For example, the renegade daughter of Gaius Julius Caesar the Younger was simply Julia. If she had had an older sister, she would have been Julia Secunda, the elder sister, Julia Prima, and so on.
The masculine form built on the stem of Hilaria is Hilarius, a name even Plautus would have ashamed to delineate in ink.
Baldwin called his daughter Ireland a “rude thoughtless little pig” and didn’t remember if she was 11 or 12, at the time. He left the voicemail on the answering machine when his 11 year old daughter missed picking up the phone for a scheduled phone call:
“Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone. You have insulted me for the last time," he screamed in the voicemail.
"I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old or 11 years old or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the a** who doesn't care about what you do. You've made me feel like shit and [you need to] straighten your ass out. I'll let you know how I really feel about what a thoughtless little pig you are. You are a rude, little pig, okay?
"This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly over and over again."

“The Baldwins”
I would be expecting a historical biopic about the piano company.
@Rocco, thanks for that link to Brandon Herrera. I’ve seen some of his “Darwin Awards” videos but hadn’t seen that one. He and I independently reached the same conclusion, e.g., the most likely scenario is that Baldwin had unknowingly applied pressure to the trigger, so the hammer failed to engage the sear and came forward with enough force to fire the cartridge.

Me working from home trying to find my cell after the 6th MFA (multi-factor authentication) request of the day for either my desktop, laptop, Chromebook, or iPad:
“Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to my phone. You have insulted me for the last time. I don't give a damn that your mother company is a thoughtless pain in the a** who doesn't care about what you do. You've made me feel like shit and [you need to] straighten your ass out. I'll let you know how I really feel about what a thoughtless little pig you are. You are a rude, little pig, okay?
