- All this time I’ve been asking the wrong question. I believe this is the only question that needs to be answered.
I’ve asked some friends of mine to participate in an experiment and a discussion.
I want you to consider the question as well.
As a child I remember my dad cleaning his gun after a hunting trip. He had it in as many pieces as you can take take it apart. I picked up the double barrel and pointed at him saying ''peek-a-boo'. I will never forget what happened next. He gently took the barrel out of my hand, looked me in the eye, and in that low quite voice that dads have, said "you never, ever point a gun at anyone". I retorted with, ''but it's just the barrel, it's taken apart, there's no bullets''. He again looked me in the eye and again said 'you NEVER, EVER point a gun at anyone". That was over 50 years ago, he has been gone for almost 20, but I can still hear his voice.
You were blessed with a good Dad. That's why he spoke to you in that voice, so you'd remember. Good gun safety teaching!
Of course he was right. That is rule #1.
I lost my Mom in 2012 and just lost my Dad this past August. It hurts so bad
Exactly. Never ever point a gun or run with scissors.
My dad said the same except with more of a backhand to the cheek instead of words.
Keep this up John! This is probably the best investigative journalism we will get.
@Godsells Crap He is irrelevant otherwise. He has not worked in decades.
@@thomasallen6980 What the H__ does that mean?
@@BDOML9101 It's been my experience that such statements nearly always come from those who are struggling with feeling "irrelevant" themselves, sadly. Another possibility is the guy's just a complete ass hat ~ enjoys debasing others, even sadder.
Every life has immense value, which seems to be the point Mr. Schneider is trying to make here. The cavalier attitude with which some- who feel superior to others- excuse themselves from accountability, is in direct conflict with that fact~ that ALL life has value, along with certain "inalienable rights".....including "freedom of speech" right?
Okay, now I'm rambling~ have an amazing day BDOML9101=) -Sam in AZ
"...I don't want to get into that because the family might be watching." A real person said that, not a hollywood celebrity. Thank you Mr. Schneider.
You were a legend when I was a kid and you're a legend now. These are my exact thoughts. None of what he is saying about this makes sense. They need to investigate this heavily!! Keep at it Bo Duke!!
This is solid gold. I hope John keeps up with the investigative reporting on different subjects.
indeed, try an investigation on the 2020 DNR epidemic, very naughty.
He's a great actor, a really smart guy and a sometimes wrongly overlooked talent.
"Just a good old boy ..."
@@throwachair DNR epidemic? You mean Chronic Wasting Disease? I will have to look this up.
Oh I am guessing you meant "Do Not Resuscitate"
Even if you really thought she fainted, or had a heart attack, after you just shot a gun.....you would immediately run to her to see what happened.
Exactly. Alec Baldwin is a murdering sociopath. You or I would already be behind bars right now.
I think it was a bad accident that happened and now after her has killed her. He is trying to blame others. How many people did John Wayne shoot on set.
@@paulatudor691 A bad accident does not require huge lies no one could ever believe, like I did not know anyone was shot until they showed me a picture of the bullet, at the police station. He and his crew were there with them, for 15 minutes before police and medical showed up after the 911 call. And the 911 call was for two people SHOT.
He is lying every step of the way, and he can and should be prosecuted on those lies, if this is what he said to the police.
Now, how many of that film crew now fear for their lives, if they speak out and tell the whole truth, as they know it??? And think of the victims in all this and their families.
@@free100x Spot on!! This will ultimately turn into a Robert Blake, OJ Simpson, Robert Wagner deal. So they might as well let him go like they do most Celebrities & not waste tax payers money and time! It's a bunch of 🐂 💩!!
free100x Yes no doubt he shot those people. I will not argue that the lies he told were in his best interest. I believe it was a terrible accident and he is not the only one responsible. A good armory person would never allow live rounds on the set ever. But he should have checked the gun I agree 💯 % as anybody that has held a gun. But I still believe it was an accident. Yes he pulled the trigger before or after . If the gun they had was in working order.
Your first reaction to a misfire and especially someone “collapsing” would be to run towards her in shock checking to see if she’s ok. Not swan off thinking she’d fainted.
Exactly
'misfire'....that word again! Does not apply here....never did.
@@mdd1963 mate I’m from the Uk I’ve just started looking into the case because i didn’t believe his story. Found the single action revolvers really interesting. Apologies if I’m not au fait with the correct terminology.
@@TMAS01 no problem, SIr! Peace, mate! :)
It makes you wonder was there any issues between the two outside of the movie that would suggest anything that could be considered there was issues towards eachother whether it be arrogance or any upset feelings towards the other to cause this situation to possibly happen, like pulling a prank. With how close he was, if it were me, i would be right there making sure they were okay because of the chance maybe it released a piece of shrapnel and could have injured her. But i wouldnt have pulled a trigger unless i had checked the bullets that were in the gun to begin with because ultimately its my responsibility to insure the safety of my firearm no matter who handed it to me
My reaction to your question, "Why did Baldwin not seem surprised?" Maybe because he intended for the revolver to go bang after pulling the trigger. Makes you wonder why so many left; complaining about conditions on set.
You're like a badger on this one, John. I appreciate it. So many of us didn't buy his story from the get go, and you just offered something that can be used in court. Peace and blessings to you and yours. Merry Christmas.
jon is there any chance alec was set by someone who did not like him on the set?
@@leepatterson5140 even if he was set up...WHY did he say such ridiculous things on national television?
@John Schneider , isn't there supposed to be EMTs or some medical personnel on g set?
More like obsessed
Good job! How smart you are!
I never thought about it!
When I was 15, and just starting to get acquainted with single action revolvers, I would have immediately called B.S. on Baldwin's whole story. At this point, I have 35 years of experience with single actions. Never had one fire when I didn't intend it to.
They need to charge everyone who was present at that rehearsal with obstruction and see who wants to talk.
Revolver's are my favorite. They are the only gun that I can fire due to nerve and muscle damage in my hand and arm.
@@QouteTheRavenNevermore I prefer them as well, 357 mag is my favorite.
@@Isaac_5.56x45 I had a pearl handled .38 Smith & Wesson that my Granny gave me year's ago.
@@QouteTheRavenNevermore I love those old Smith and Wessons, that sounds like a beauty. I would love to get a classic 38 snub nose some day.
@@Isaac_5.56x45 she was a beauty. My son has her now. The snub nosed are nice. I've seen a couple of them at gun shows that I went to in Florida with my son several years ago.
When asked if he felt any guilt, Alec said "No, not at all"
Any decent person, even if they *knew* it was an accident... would be overcome with grief and a deep feeling of guilt.
That's something very important which people should be focusing on.
Emphasis on decent. We're talking about lefty Baldwin. Too bad he hadn't rehearsed what would happen when gun went off.
Guilt is a feeling that occurs when you think you have done something wrong. Admitting that you fill guilty is an admission that you've done something wrong. If it happened as he said, he should not feel guilt. He should feel grief and empathy. Grief and empathy are different. The fact that he pretended to not know what happened shows that he does not feel empathy. That all being said, it is my opinion that Alec is criminally responsible for the death and injury. The chance that it happened the way he said is virtually impossible unless the firearm was malfunctioning. There is no indication of that here. He was given a firearm and he did not check to see that it was unloaded. He also allowed live rounds to be on the set.
@@tonyheaton4941 Problem here is he did do something wrong. He didn't check to make absolutely sure the gun wasn't loaded. He picked it up and fired it. So he had reason to feel guilty.
@@floydiandreamscapes5145 , I said he did something wrong. He does not feel like he did anything so , naturally, he feels no guilt.
"I know somebody is to blame...but I know that person is not me!" Alec Facking Baldwin
Ever since John took this on, even more people are coming on UA-cam with similar videos, pointing in the same direction John is, and that's great!! Just that many more people to say Alex is full of crap, and he knew exactly what he did, and why he's responsible. I greatly respect John's passion in this, no one really raised an eyebrow like this, until Johm dug in that much more..
You’re right, John. He would have not been expecting it. The recoil would have ABSOLUTELY caught him off guard. His hand and wrist would have not been ready for the recoil. Baldwin was lying.
Exactly. The grip on the gun when expecting no recoil (particularly in the manner in which Baldwin said he fired it) would have been far more relaxed than when prepared to fire a live round. My guess is that if it occurred the way that Baldwin claimed that it happened, the gun would have been flung from his hand.
@@tassie7325 The entire idea that it was a prank doesn't work either. He stated that he never pulled the trigger. Baldwin is full of shit. He exactly knew what he did. Believe nothing you see from him. He's a professional actor. So the only thing we can look at are his actions. He Murdered that girl.
@@tassie7325 EXACTLY!! I was trying to shoot a MASSIVE snake in my coop with my 357 revolver. The recoil of two shots, I missed both times! I had to scoot almost 12inches from his gut to kill him!!
@@mrray55 Yep, that is my thoughts on the matter as well. Only God knows what was in his heart and mind at the time. I don't think a jury is going to accept Alec's explanation of what happened. It doesn't make any sense?
Baldwin Iying, I tried sending Baldwin a tweet a few years ago, as someone told me Alec and his brother Danny were involved I an apparent murder.
I'm getting to know you as a person, as opposed to a character, and I love that you are for doing the right thing in life.
Amen 🙏
Same here. I wanted to be Bo Duke as a little boy watching the Dukes of Hazzard. Turns out, we're very similar to each other. I mean , I'm probably better looking than Bo but other than that very similar. Lol.
Here here!!🙏💜
Is he anything like "Bo"? 🙂
We need a few more of him!
Thanks for keeping at this. Also, thanks for keeping it respectful by saying, "I don't want to get into that because the family might be watching."
Here is the ultimate question, why were there LIVE rounds on a movie set? As Mr. Schnieder stated earlier, with all of the technical effects of today, there is NO reason for live ammunition to be on a movie or TV set!
Perhaps they were brought on to be modified into blanks and dummy rounds, but some unmodified ones end up in the gun.
Precisely... WHY ??
I’m a woman who has fired handguns and rifles.
When I heard Baldwin say what he did. Absolutely not possible to shoot a real bullet and not know immediately exactly what happened !!
The sound the way the gun reacts with rebounding and two people immediately fell down from being shot.
Baldwin is trying too cover his own ass. But his statements were ridiculous at best.
Me too. Alec is a schweddy ball short of a man. I always check when handed a firearm.
As a woman shooter myself I agree with you both. I'm usually surprised each time I pull the trigger with a loaded weapon.
Agreed, so sad either way. He’s protecting himself for his $$$! His idiot wife is starting to annoy me; doesn’t concern her and she’s chasing the paparazzi. John is so straight arrow; love him! He doesn’t take any Hollywood bullshit!👍👏👍
Except for the deceased , the survivor hasn't made any statements to my knowledge, I'm sure he has something quite different to say to proper authorities.
So many of these replies have the same premise "I shoot all the time, and I would have known". Well good for you, Baldwin is pretty clear, he doesn't like guns. You probably shot more last week, than he did in the last decade. How many shooters put a hot round through a squib? Why don't they notice the lack of report or recoil and end up shooting through an obstructed barrel? These are gun owners who shoot enough to reload ammo, but they don't notice. Flip side, when Kentucky Ballistics blew his ass up, every round fired was too hot, but he didn't notice, until his rifle blew up like a hand grenade. Let the investigators do their jobs, you all can pile on him once you know what really happened, at this point you are all speculating, and holding him to your standards and experience. And no, I am not defending him, I am defending the PROCESS. Without process, Rittenhouse would be serving multiple life terms, but look what happens when you let investigators do their jobs.
Replace the word 'Accidental' with 'Negligence' in all firearm discussions. Then determine the 'Level of Negligence' If the gun is in your hand - it didn't get there by accident.
I've always loved those single action revolvers and having handled quite a few of them, there are numerous reasons Alec Baldwin's story just doesn't add up. You've made a lot of videos about this, and it's really nice to see another actor calling him out on his BS. Alec Baldwin needs to be held accountable for taking a woman's life. This was no accident, the gun didn't fire itself, and if he thought he was playing a joke, that just makes it even worse. Even if he thought the round was a blank and intended to scare her, you NEVER point a weapon at anything you're not willing to destroy, whether it's loaded or not.
Honest answer:
Hubris.
If you never acknowledge that it's your fault, you can never have to take the weight of that responsibility. - The Alec "trigger happy" Baldwin way.
Alec explains in the "unscripted" interview that you have to add or fake the recoil of a blank round. So he had to know a real round was discharged when he felt the recoil.
Exactly
Great point.
Thank you! I thought the same and have seen nobody mention it.
Ain't no cap gun , blanks have enough powder to cause recoil and some muzzle flash . Most of the shooting public handles live ammo and behave accordingly. .Somthing 🐟y going on
If the gun went bang instead of click, and you see somebody go down, and thought they fainted, I think most people would be concerned enough to give attention and offer some first aid, I don't think most people would just walk away.
That’s a good point! Even someone comfortable with guns, If you ever have a gun go off when you think it won’t, it scares the crap out of you. You never forget that feeling. And it reminds you to always always always treat a gun as loaded and follow all safety precautions, always!
It's not that scary. But it is scary. It's enough to make you stop shooting until you know why it went off and has been fixed or corrected. Fortunately it was a single shot bolt action rifle. The safety is automatically engaged when the bolt is fully opened to eject or load. Upon closing the bolt the rifle discharged into the ground a short distance from my foot. That ended my target shooting for the day. I have never been so glad that I kept the weapon pointed in a safe direction. But it didn't scare me to death. I was honestly more scared during a tornado. I was more shocked when I thought my wife was pregnant again. I guess I was taught to expect a firearm to fail...just to be safe. Don't drop it. Don't manhandle it. Don't joke with it. It can go off unexpectedly due to mechanical failure, dirt, or carelessness.
Always
Always
Always
John what you are fogetting is.
- Alec had shot blanks with that gun.
- Alec knows blanks have ZERO recoil, he said he had to fake the recoil when practicing
- Alec shot a live 230gr bullet with a ton of recoil. He would know it was not a blank based on the recoil alone.
THIS! The revolver would have almost jumped from his hand if he didn't have a grip on it. AB is a liar and KNEW he shot her as soon as the gun went bang. All the after Blah, blah, blah is just an attempt to save his ass. The armorer will take the blame for this if he doesn't come clean. Good job John.
@@m35a2ww
I've never fired a real gun before, but even I automatically questioned how he claimed he believed it was loaded with dummy (not blank) rounds, but somehow managed to hold onto a rather powerful weapon when it fired for real.
You don't brace for that kick when you think it can't happen.
The startled response probably covered up any felt recoil that was there. He never said he didn't jump at the sound or the sound didn't startle him he just claimed he didn't know what had happened.
John, i bet AB absolutely loathes you at this point, you've easily proven how much of a liar he is :) - keep up the good work, lol
Such a great example, a positive, male, role model for our family and children!
Your honesty and integrity, and willingness to make corrections and right wrongs, admit any faults or mistakes and own them...your morals and values are true treasures

I sincerely hope the detectives investigating that shooting watched the interview, asked the same questions and have the integrity to follow through without being shut down by Hollywood millionaires

Love you Papa Kent!!! I've learned more positive parenting from YOU on SMALLVILLE, than my own father. A wonderful actor and human being, thank you for all your hard work, it means alot to me :-)
I love that we live in a time where anyone with knowledge on a subject can make a video for the world to see and gain knowledge about a subject. Thank you sir for your constant validation of the truth
Thank you John for not letting this go,
I hope justice is served for Halyna's family and that Baldwin is arrested soon
If Bo Duke had this type of deductive reasoning ability, he and Luke would have found themselves tied up far less often.
Boss Hogg was always out to get them boys! Great show. Love all characters including General Lee, and oh yes.. Daisey Duke.
Lololo that's church
That wouldn't have been anywhere near as much fun.
That's why they had the General Lee. All they had to do was straighten the curves and flatten the hills and they got away.
🤣🤣🤣
The second person that got shot would also be making some kind of noise. The blood on the floor would be a clue, too.
I appreciate y’all continuing this conversation…from every angle!!
Here is my big conundrum. In his "unscripted" interview he says that to his recollection she was conscious after the gun went off. If he was standing over her for 60 seconds as he stated, and if she was in fact conscious, then how in the HELL did he NOT know she was shot? Much less the guy behind her as he was screaming like crazy. His words, not mine. He's either a complete ignorant fool or he's lying his ass off. I opt for the latter of the 2. Dumb like a fox they used to say. Oh, and wasn't there blood anywhere???? That might have been a big indicator that something went wrong. I do not understand his lack of guilt or even the slightest amount of sorrow on his part.
Thank you John for expressing your anger over this whole situation. I am still wondering if he will ever be charged. I am certain that had that been me who did the shooting, I would have been behind bars from day 1.
I think you can put his lack of guilt down to the overweening sense of entitlement people like him have. He is obviously so self absorbed, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that in the 60secs he supposedly stood over her he was angry that she'd got in the way!
He is a killer and a liar (not a very good one either). What I can't fathom is why isn't he in jail awaiting trial?
The D A in his case is reportedly very progressive.
@@edwardmeyrowitz9692 "progessive" Quite an ironic word to describe America hating scumbags.
You can't understand his lack of guilt because you are witnessing the typical tactic of a chronically self-absorbed, narcissistic sociopath. They operate from an entirely different place than we do.
I can understand in the instant after the fatal shot was fired, that he was in a state of disbelief. I get that. However, I find it utterly implausible that a second or two after the discharge that he wasn't fully aware of what had just happened. For him to suggest otherwise is just ridiculous. His story that he was standing over her for a minute of so after the shooting believing that she had 'fainted' or something; just isn't believable.
I'm so glad someone has the nuts to not let this just get lost in the media's mess of crap and forgotten. We all know murder is wrong.
might not be murder, but definitely negligence.
@@lorettashum9984 Or a point that was just proved given what was not allowed on set to begin with.😉
If the weapon discharged a live round and Baldwin didn't know it, I would have had to ask if he was high, drunk or both.
You would think a man who claims to be opposed to guns as Alec claimed to be; that he would make sure he was well versed in gun safety because he’s against guns because they are dangerous and deadly ????
Now I see why he hates them. He is stupid as they come and has no common sense.
Oh yes, the explosion that comes when a firearm goes off is SOUL SHAKING. Especially if you're not expecting it. Great job John, as usual!
I'm from the UK. I first shot a handgun in a range in Adelaide Australia.
I was shooting a Ruger GP100 and thought I had shot all the rounds when I pulled the trigger once more, out of reflex, and the sound and force of the bullet shocked me!, even though I had literally just shot 6 shots.
It was a 7-round model and not knowing much about revolvers, I assumed they were all '6-shooters'.
Thank goodness I didn't point that thing away from the target!
@@TheAmateurEditor an empty gun always has one bullet inside
@@TheAmateurEditor I'm thankful nothing bad happened too. Wow, that had to scare you good. 😳 That's what's so scary, accidents can happen.
I belong to a range. Even with extremely tight regulations, anything can happen.
Definitely nothing to play with, like pulling a "prank".
@@trollking202 Trust me mate, I learned that INSTANTLY! The next time I went to a shooting range, in Miami, I only got to shoot semi-automatics. Each time finished a clip, I made sure I never pointed the gun away from the target before releasing the magazine, applying the safety AND physically inspecting the slide for a shell in the barrel before setting it down. I NEVER even released the slide back into firing position, just in case I had gone blind and missed a cartridge still in the pipe.
@@earthling8585 Mate, I almost felt sick. I neve in my life thought that negligently pulling a trigger after several shots would make me react as if a hand-grenade had gone off in my face!
And notice I said 'negligently' and not 'accidentally' because there was nothing accidental about my pulling the trigger past what I thought the gun's capacity was, I just assumed that pulling it once more couldn't do any harm since I shot all the rounds...
OG "Bo Duke" sets yet another example of integrity, life imitating art almost 40 years apart. Well done sir.
Yeah, but I still can't forget the crocodile tears on ABC that he pretended to shed. If I had shot somebody accidently, ESPECIALLY a "friend", I would be a blubbering train wreck.
Plus, WHY did Alec AIM IT AT HALYNA when he pulled the trigger?
@@glenturney4750 I would tend to agree that Baldwin appears to be about as honest as the Boss Hogg character was ... A series of deliberate omissions happened at the very least.
Just the good ol' boys 😁
@@glenturney4750 That's the question I haven't seen raised- why would you point it at somebody AND pull the trigger? Apparently there were no cameras rolling on a film set, but you point a gun AND pull the trigger at people that weren't even IN the movie. He can't lie his way out of this to cover up his ill intentions.
@@jasonmartin7137 Only thing I could think of is he was trying to decock the gun and let the hammer go or it slipped, him being used to doing so without thinking about it over the years. He might not even to this day truly understand that he was pulling the trigger to do so.
Halyna grabbed her mid section and shortly yelled "I cannot feel my legs". Alec heard this and lied about her fainting. He knew what happened. I also cannot get my head around how Alec managed to shoot Joel in the shoulder. He must of been some distance behind her or very low beside her. Thanks John for the demonstrations and your thoughts. I have no respect for Alec. He shot 2 people that day.
He was directly behind her thats why.
@@reneeg4817 lol funny....I think it is a legimate question. Halyna is 5'6" and was shot in the mid section. Joel is 5"9 and was shot in the shoulder. After looking at the last photo, I am thinking he may have been sitting down in a pew inside the church.
there is a picture of Alec holding his jacket in his arm. But I do not know when the photo was taken for sure. It shows a hugh blood section on his shirt and his jacket. He is outdoors now. My question is when was the picture taken?? If it is Halyna's blood then its completely over for Alec....
@Shamdy Crook With her build, location of entry and the power of a 45 colt. There is no bouncing around or shedding of lead. A 45 colt was designed at the time when you were expected to fight from horseback. When you might need to shoot a horse from underneath an Indian. He knew immediately that he fired a projectile.
John Keep up the great work by asking why? And Asking question?
I feel like they’re trying to sweep this under the rug.
There's a hole in his story. The fact that he shows no remorse or accepts responsibility for his wrongdoing is reason for great concern.
That's how narcissist think.
People like him and his ilk don't feel like they are ever wrong and get offensive and defensive when presented with the truth and facts that they are in the wrong. And most of them KNOW they are wrong and still get offensive and defensive.
John is such a cool guy. I really love how passionate he is about this. I think we will learn the truth thanks to him.
I love how he's still one of the Duke boys. Actors almost always disappoint me.
Love your common sense John. Thank you for all the down to earth videos. Your a breath of fresh air in this world. God bless you and your family
John Schneider Thank you Also, for keeping on this. Very informative... 2 questions: 1. On dummy rounds, Don't they drill a hole into the side of the cartridge so it won't hold powder... and 2. What's happened to the narrative that was told when this first happened: That the person (The A.D.) that handed the gun to Baldwin, knew that there was something in the gun, wasn't sure if they were dummy rounds, blanks, or live rounds, only checked on the first round, handed the gun to Baldwin and declared it "cold". And after Hutchins was shot said, "I should have checked all the rounds.". Doesn't "cold" mean "empty gun", and "hot" means "loaded with blanks"? Also, why were they setting up a shot with anything in the gun?(unless it was to show the cylinder had rounds in it). There are just way to many questions to answer...
To be not surprised that a gun with the live round goes off inside a building is totally ludicrous. Watch the reaction of the gentleman John is talking to when he does fire the gun-he plugged his ears, and they are outside, everybody in that building their ears would be ringing when that gun went off. Not to mention the recoil from the 45LC ammo. Alec is simply lying thru his butt.
As much as my dad loved to joke, he taught me two things about guns:
1. Always treat a gun like it’s loaded.
2. Never point the gun at something you aren’t willing to kill.
Quality discussion here gentlemen, Alex is just trying to cover himself.
Not only Baldwin but ALL of leftist anti-2nd Amendment Hollywood & the media as well.
Right. Always treat a gun as if it is loaded. Number 1 rule.
the way I was raised too ! Yes
Your Dad furnished you with excellent advice , Complacency in any situation can cause heartaches .
I say let him continue uninterrupted.
Thank you, John! I keep wondering how in the world is Alec not being criminally prosecuted?
Falec & Malaria are jetting around in NYNY and Hamptons & ??? where else. The investigation is Primarily Sante Fe, NM. So to extradite him would be better served to have solid charges or a grand jury finding.
All people handling guns or weapons in the film, acting or gun handling in general, should at a minimum have to take a gun safety course. A Hunter education course would be a great alternative because it's a class mainly in safe gun handling.
Be careful John and friends, there is a huge dead tree top right above you!!
Mr. Schneider: Thank you so very much for all you've done for to help explain the gun and how it works. If any of the gentleman behind you, in this video, have served please give them a great big thank you from me.
Appreciate your in depth insight here, and actually taking the time to explain to non firearms users what happened.
As a fellow North Springs Spartan, class of 81', I think it's awesome that you are doing this. John, good to see you making a difference...
Thank you, John, for this and how detailed your explanations are. Alec Baldwin is clearly lying and is a callous, narcissist. I pray to God the detectives in charge of this case are as detailed as you are and use every means possible to put this cold-hearted man away in prison. he is banking his freedom on him being an actor; no Sir, he needs to be prosecuted like any of us would.
Shut up toad
That's what I've been asking all along, if I "thought" a gun wasn't loaded (which I would check myself, but let's assume I didn't), and it went "bang" I certainly would be surprised - and if I was aiming it at a person (I wouldn't be, but again assume I did) and a person in the path of the shot "fainted"/collapsed... I'd be rushing to their side, and chances are if I had Alec's anger issues I'd probably be yelling up a storm at someone over "why was I told it was empty?"
Instead he just walked away and supposedly didn't know for an hour? I can't believe that.
Exactly Captain Z. I still do not understand that part.
one thing we forget, Alec can say ANYTHING he wants on TV or media. The only statement that has value is under oath in a courtroom. Gage G. is a great example in Rittenhouse trial.
He will not see a courtroom. It’s over and done
@colleenallmyfriends that’s not the story, and never was the story.
The man in the Rittenhouse trial was a felon in possession of a firearm. Why didn't the prosecution charge him? Do you think it possible he made a deal, no charge in return for his "testimony"? The problem is the prosecution can't legally ask him to perjure himself, so he testified honestly, knowing he had immunity.
They dropped Gage’s DUI right before the trial. And well Alec if he was to go to court will take the stand because he thinks he can act his way out. It didn’t go well for Jussie
Let’s not also forget that the prosecutor in Rittenhouse trial picked up the gun and aimed it at people with his finger on the trigger.
I love how you are doing your own investigating on this. Don’t stop. Get to the truth.
It still comes down to this: He was the last person to handle the weapon and should have checked it. He has been handling blank weapons for many years. He had to know he hurt her. Blood would show within seconds! Also there is a class on firearm safety on every shoot.
Agreed. If 10 people handle that gun, it should be inspected 10 times. No excuses.
@@redruuum75 You are taught that you treat every gun as if it is loaded and therefore you check it. Even after you check it you treat it as if it was loaded, but at least you know beyond the shadow of a doubt it is not.

Another question that needs asking is even if you meant it as a prank why would he still just immediately walk away thinking she fainted as he said he did? When someone is inclined to play nasty pranks on other people they ALWAYS want to see the reaction or have someone helping them who will then either video it or describe it to them in detail. If he did it just to be doing it without seeing if his prank played out what would be the point? However, the next question goes right back to the initial question in this video, which is if he never pulled the trigger as he claims why was he NOT SURPRISED at that loud report and why would he then just walk away without finding out what had happened no matter what kind of load he thought was in the gun, especially if the director fainted.. Bonus QUESTION, who in the hell walks away if they think a good friend ( as he claimed she was) might have had a HEART ATTACK? I wouldn't leave a squirrel if I thought I had scared it into cardiac arrest.
Her husband worked with the Clintons.
Alec posted on social media "I wonder what it would be like to kill someone"
Then he did
This was a planned event that sociopaths designed thinking in their little world where rules don't apply that people would just go along with the story because they all love him so much.
What about a wad cutter ?
9:18 Hold on for a second, It's not right for the guy in the hat to speculate with no authority or evidence, on just a hunch, that Alec had planned to do this as a prank. That is to scare someone with a blank round, there's no reason to believe that at all. I believe Alec was definitely careless in handling the trigger and hammer, on top of a live round found its way into the gun. Of course this was worse this was on the set of a movie that he was producing, which is which is totally unacceptable. BUT the idea that this was a planned prank, it's vitriol speculation
@@Defender78 I am more inclined to believe it was a prank than to consider the alternatives, which would seem to be pretty limited, especially given the way someone from the industry, like John, is explaining it for us
@@chey1983 I don't believe anyone said it was a prank and you may want to reread my post because I certainly did not, I gave reasons why didn't find it believable as a prank. No one said anything definitively, questions were being asked and hypothesis were raised based on possible answers to the questions being posed in the video which is how most intelligent critical analysis is conducted.
He also said in the interview he practiced with the armorer firing blank rounds. He stated he practiced faking the kick because blanks won't generate the kick of a live round. So he definitely would have known that wasn't a blank round immediately.
Swamp Molly. "Hey Robinhood, those are supposed to be duds! Now only you could mix a live one with a detonator cap!" 🎯💥😲
If it was a rehearsal without camera rolling, why did the weapon have “any” cartridge in it, blank or otherwise?
Go to Duck Duck Go and type in "Gematria Effect News Alec Baldwin" for the proof that this was a ritualistic sacrifice. This stuff happens in the entertainment industry more often than you might think.
My question also, Charles. I didn't know that fact until watching John and his freinds today.
Exactly
That’s a question for the prop person they hired.
@@JannaBrewer That would be the fake "firearms expert."

Hello Judy 🌹
That's a nice comment
How are you today? I wish you a happy day🍒🍒
I haven’t heard anyone reason this through. Thank you John!
I think Alec needs to do more interviews because he is incriminating himself more and more.
But but alec thinks and knows he is untouchable.
We will see. I say nothing happens to him. No liberal judge will put him in jail.
I don't think Alec knew the gun had live rounds, i do think thte prank story is more in line, but it still boils down to one thing, who loaded the gun, that person is definitely 100% responsible for murder of some degree. Alec at the very least was negligent if not as the actor, then as the producer of the project.
@@smk3390 lol really. So if I gave you my car to use and u killed someone that's my fault. Use your brain. That POS is the producer = boss.
@@smk3390 no fuckn excuse check the gun. So if I died and left you a gun. You Went to use it with out checking to see if it's loaded and u kill someone. Use your fucking brain.
They were shooting beer cans on set. A piece of garbage needs to go to jail
@@bombardier3qtrlbpsi your using a stupid analogy and there are weapon experts on set for a reason and I already said, regardless if as an actor or a producer, he is liable for negligence at the least.
Wasn't sure where you were going with this at first but #OhMyGoodness!
You are so correct!!
Baldwin is guilty as sin!
My 2 cent take is that he loaded the gun, unbeknownst to the armorer. He got the bullets and mistakenly placed live bullets in with blank bullets. The armorer and the assistant did not check the gun before the rehearsal. They never checked the guns before a rehearsal. He let the hammer go because he wanted to do a prank. His finger was on the trigger when the gun was pulled. He expected the gun to fire with a blank. If he did not scream at once, then he knew the gun would fire. If he screamed, cussed, and yelled anything, then he did not know the gun would fire. Common public sense, a friend would never leave their friend after they fainted or passed out.
That widow-maker above you guys is stressing me out.
I love your passion John for trying to get to the bottom of this. Stay on it, Alec KNOWS exactly what he did. I think he did it on purpose because NOTHING he says makes sense, he has to lie to cover up the last lie and so on
He did it on purpose? Yeah, now that makes sense....... lol
@@organican Wonderful that you doubt my theory, defend. Please tell me why you think he didn't do it on purpose
Haha haha
I think he did it on purpose. She was trouble for him on the set. His anger took over. And he's just the kind of man that thinks he can get away with it.
Negligence/incompetence yes, but what your saying is murder. Do you know the man personally? Most likely not. On purpose? You have some issues.
The simple thing to say here regardless of everything else is, for safety reasons I was always taught to aim off, never ever aim at a person for any reason. Also, there are only four reasons for loading a live round into a gun self-defense, military or police service, shooting vermin, shooting game, and target shooting. There is no safe reason for having live rounds on a film set.
That’s 5 reasons my guy
I have been on film sets where there have been live rounds present. In fact almost ALL film sets have live rounds on them if they have security, body guards or armed law enforcement officers present.
@@jakemako5135 Yea I think I may have been a little fatigued I originally typed 'Five' recounted and changed it to 'four' lol
@@UguysRnuts The problem and the point of most of the videos commenting on this is that the on set Armourer had no reason to have live rounds on set for use in the production. Armed security or police personnel should load and operate their weapons completely separately. I don't know how a security guard would operate, but a police officer would have his service weapon and ammunition probably stored at the police station. The officer would receive the weapon and load it at the police station. The police officer or security guard would have no reason to load maintain or operate their weapons at the set, so in fact, would be separate and not involved in this incident.
If he wasn't shocked by "bang", he knew it was to go "bang"..
If he's expecting a blank to fire, then he would be expecting "bang" instead of "click". So I can see him not being surprised. But how does he not see that she's been killed? Even if he thinks she's fainted or had a heart attack, how does he just leave without making sure that SOMEONE is taking care of her, even if he's not?
The whole situation is weird. This was either a staggering amount of incompetence, or a staggering amount of incompetence PLUS murder.
When you fire a blank, you don't get the same kick as you do when you fire a bullet. And blanks make much less noise.
And you don't fire a blank directly at a camera with the person behind it. People have died from being shot with blanks.
@@w6467 if you're inexperienced with guns, you may not know the difference. And blanks are only dangerous at close range, or if something is still in the barrel. Not from several feet away with nothing for it to propel.
The only reason he would not be shocked is if he expected the firearm to fire a blank. Then seeing the camera operator drop in a pool of blood and the AD screaming out in pain - that would be a pretty good indication that he screwed the pooch!
John, thank you for not letting this go. People need to know the truth, the facts, the lies and incompetence. Halyna deserves justice. My heart aches for her family but it is also filled with anger over a very dishonorable and incompetent narcissist. By the way, does a blank or dummy round make the same boom as a live round?
A blank will go bang...
A dummy round just goes click...
A blank has gun powder and wax, therefore it goes bang...
A dummy round has lead in the shell, but no gun powder and the primer has already been struck.. Therefore cannot refire...
Dummy rounds are made to look real, however they are not real..
You're welcome. 😁
They discuss all of that. A blank isn't as loud. But still dangerous! A dummy round is a hollow case. It will not fire. The primer will have a dent in it.
On the back, opposite end of the bullet, where the firing pin strikes is a circle in the very center. That's the primer. It ignites the powder. If it doesn't have a dent, it most likely is a live round!
Like many have said. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded and never point them at anyone! That's the first thing everyone is taught! Or supposed to be! So on a movie set with firearms involved their can't be enough firearm safety and checks! How this happened is beyond my comprehension! Unless there is foul play! No one can be that careless!
Everyone on that set who handled any firearm needs to be thrown in jail!
Kyle Rittenhouse spent two months in jail and was simply defending himself! Only way he got out was through donations to raise money for bail! So why is Alec walking around free? Plus how does he sleep at night?
Sort answer: No.
Three types of ammunition we're talking about here:
Dummy rounds look just like a live round, but are completely inert.
No primer, no powder, means they cannot go boom no matter what you do.
All you'll hear is a soft "click" as the hammer drops.
Much less noise and recoil with blanks than live rounds.
Blanks are more of a "pop", while live rounds are a "boom".
Vastly more recoil with live rounds than blanks.
The noise and recoil are completely unmistakable to the shooter and witnesses.
(I have fired hundreds of each in dozens of types of firearms.)
Bottom line is:
It is ALWAYS **YOUR** responsibility - and YOURS ALONE - to safe and clear EVERY firearm, EVERY time you pick it up. No exceptions. Period.
@UCbaU7bNyrYoULRUEa3iD8lQ Jon-Erik Hexum
But he can only speculate on what has been said...not what was investigated...everything he says is speculation. It's odd how he continues to speculate without any actual knowledge.
God bless you for doing this John. Seems the Hollywood celebrities always try to get away with just a slap on the hand.
Hello Helen 🌹

John hi , your a beautiful , handsome man an a lovely soul an your personality an research an investigating on all different subjects that are of interest to all of us is spot on . Thank you . An good to see you looking healthy , happy , an have a passion for life an life events .
Here's the thing about that...if he expected the gun to go "boom" and I believe that he did, then when the camera woman went down instead of just being scared, why didn't he immediately go to her? Even if his intention was to scare her, her reaction to actually being shot with a large .45 Colt bullet, would have been serious enough to warrant immediate concern from Alec Baldwin. From his story he didn't react that way. Even if he thought she had fainted or had a heart attack why did he not immediately go to her to help or comfort her instead of just standing there looking at her? That would be a normal human reaction. What kind of a monster to you have to be to shrug that off and not bother to render aid or comfort to someone, especially since he was the person responsible for causing it? The more I learn about what happened the more I begin to believe that Alec Baldwin purposely fired the gun at her and is a psychopath or sociopath.
well dumb ass was probably on something most likely a prescription for emotional issues on top of drinking on it!!
Yes. Even if he was playing a joke with a blank, that's a pretty sick joke. And I am a prankster by nature.
Brandi well said! And I'm leaning towards towards your way of thinking!
the director was shot as well and should have cried out in pain or reacted somehow
Who stands over their victim and just looks at them without rendering aid or concern? Murderers.
You werent wrong about anything, just ordered your thoughts and came up with more questions. Kinda how research works mate!
For anyone that’s been in the military & witnessed an ND you can hear a pin drop after. Everyone knows someone is in deep trouble no more so than the firer.
Ha! I had commented look at Officer Potter’s reaction but I should have waited because John mentioned her reaction, 3/4 the way in.
Great vid, John
Mr. Baldwin is known to be a “hothead” and now a “hothead with a gun”. I speculate that he was intending to be intimidating because something wasn’t going his way. He needs to take responsibility for his actions like a mature adult. Thank you for this well done video!
That is an excellent question. Also how could Alec Baldwin allow 45 mins to go by without asking about her condition?
Because he is so self absorbed he didn't care!!! Chopper ambulances, paramedics, law enforcement and he still didn't ask? SMH!!!
Because he immediately either went into shock or was a selfish bastard and started calling lawyers.
He would have to admit he’s responsible. It would have shown his stupidity and that is unacceptable to a narcissist.
considering he said she was his friend, what type of friend sees someone on the floor and bleeding and instead of staying with her, like the other gentleman did, runs away. I bet ya that, if this was a friend of ours, wild horses wouldn't be able to drag us out of their site. and then to say he feels no guilt?? is this the new, I smoked pot but didn't inhale excuse?
I wonder if the FBI or whoever is in charge of the investigation can check the bullets in the gun for fingerprints. even partial prints would help considering they are only dealing with 100 or so people, and this could narrow it down to who touched the ammo prior to it being loaded in the revolver
One thing that bugs me, ,,, well, apart from everything else is alec's shirt. let me explain why: this is a low budget movie and time is of the essence. they were setting up angles, blah blah blah, and I heard someone say she was also checking for continuity. to me this meant that the actors are in their costumes, etc, and since time is important the more reason for them not to stop and go change to their costumes. yet, all the pictures we've seen of baldwin outside the church has him in a t-shirt. so he was all worried and lost about what had happened, but he had the presence of mind to change into a t-shirt? this probably doesn't mean much, but I can't help but wonder about it
@colleenallmyfriends they want to take our gun's, you watch nothing will happen to him.
Absolutely correct! By treat y’all might want to remove that widow maker of a tree top hanging there behind y’all!
Bravo 🎩 🎉 🌹.... Keep bringing it John! ... No one else is keeping up with the questioning as to
“what, how and why?” Could this of happened 🤙🏼
I have had AD's twice in my life (so far) and it is core wrenching in the moment immediately following the unexpected discharge. All I can say is that it was a good thing I was following firearms safety rules #1, 2, 3, and 4 during both of my AD's! Wait...perhaps that's WHY WE HAVE THE FIREARMS SAFETY RULES TO BEGIN WITH!
Accidental discharge, or negligent discharge?
Such a great point! How has this been overlooked??? He must have thought he loaded blanks. This needs to go viral!
John, thank you for giving us an inside perspective of how this works. There is obviously much more to making a movie than many of us realize. I honestly never thought about what kind of rules Hollywood sets up when it comes to guns on set. Until this tragedy. I live in Louisiana, have hunted and handled guns all of my life and also had the same questions about how this could have happened. Love your work and what you stand for, John. Keep it up, brother.
I learned to be a weapons instructor in the Army and we had to preface every lesson with the following warning "You must treat every firearm as if it is loaded at all times, and it is an offence, both military and civilian to point a weapon whether loaded or unloaded at any person at any time unless specifically and lawfully authorised to do so in that situation." Or words to that effect. I think we also had to explain that this was also international law. This was drummed into every recruit and during ongoing training and behaving safely became totally ingrained, and anyone breaching the safety rules could expect punishment and harsh words from his mates.
If the intention was a prank and there was a real round that’s still negligence.
If he thought there was nothing in the gun and didn’t check it… that’s still negligence.
If he thought the gun was empty and blames the hammer slamming into the primer. It’s still negligence.
No matter how you spin this Alec Baldwin neglected gun safety and that resulted in a lost life. Case closed.
Yeah! No matter what on how it happen on the gun part or how he handle the gun, he still kill a woman and wounded a man. Manslaughter is what Alex should get. What get me mad is that he didn't even feel guilty of killing someone. He did manage to do a fake cry tho. From Nebraska!
A gun is something you never, ever prank with. Any fool should know that.
If it turns out to be a prank, Baldwin will be charged and convicted of some degree of manslaughter.
The "real question" is why did it take him 45 minutes to figure out that he killed the girl? Not only that, let's not forget that he shot 2 people, the guy he shot would have instantly known he was shot by a 45 long Colt! He likely would have been screaming in pain one second after being shot! And the girl he killed unless he hit her in the heart, would have been bleeding profusely!
He hit her in the stomach 😔
@@kelliintexas3575 Exactly.
Amen!
The rumor is that she screamed she couldn't feel her legs! So to me, that sounds like "dead center" pardon the pun...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
I love how informed he is on pretty much all the things going on in the country.. not one of us Americans who don't care about anything that doesn't directly affect them
Many years ago I worked as a stuntman on western movies & television westerns. At that time a "cold gun" was completely unloaded, and a "hot gun" is loaded with either blanks or on very rare occasions specially made rounds that contained far less gun/black powder and wax squib projectiles containing fake blood. Either way, the gun doesn't recoil anything like a live .45 caliber round. In my experience if a live round were discovered within 100 yards of the set (except for police or security), massive volumes of excrement would contact the fan and the Armorer would be looking for a different production to work.
We live about 5 miles from a shooting range. We can hear gun shots clearly. Alec is a killer not a victim.
the whole point of Alec's interview was to get people talking with so much screwed up information that nobody really knows what to believe and doubt there own thoughts.
That's classic gaslighting.
AKA jury tampering.
All right answers. He went on TV prior to even the investigation being concluded, to gain sympathy. He outright lied. Science of weapons and how they operate tells me he’s lying. Furthermore, the defense of, I did nothing wrong because I don’t know anything about guns. If you’re holding a weapon of any kind, that can cause great bodily harm or even death. You assume responsibility for that weapon. If a licensed gun holder is responsible for every round that comes out of his/her weapon, than all who possess a weapon under any circumstances is responsible as well. The only thing I’ll give Alec is, there are others responsible too, since somehow I live round made its way into the weapon. But in the end Alec is 100% responsible for her death. Being ignorant is not a defense for taking someone’s life. Negligent homicide.!
Yes there is a lot of screwed up information on youtube from too many armchair experts.

Wow, I guess a few of us noticed that widow-maker resting up there! 👆🏼
45 minutes? How could he know that someone wasn't shot? Was he expecting it? At that distance, there would have been a spray of blood. Especially since there was a second person shot as the bullet passed through. Maybe she wasn't dead yet, and AB had to wait? Or, maybe it took him 45 minutes to think of what lie he could tell?
You’re absolutely correct John. The most surprised person is the one that’s holding the gun because he knew something happened that shouldn’t have. His reactions do not make sense at all.
1:21 I can tell that was a real cartridge because of the recoil. You had to hold on tight. Would the recoil cause a loss of grip if an unexpected discharge happened? I think so.
Point blank almost, and he couldn't see the hole punch through his "friend"?
This is almost starting to sound like a love triangle, more than a accident.
hmm and it was Alec's baby???
