#VoiceYourOpinion | Alec Baldwin Indicted by Grand Jury for Involuntary Manslaughter over shooting death of Halyna Hutchins! Was it his fault?
And then she faces an additional charge of tampering with evidence, with state prosecutors claiming that she handed off a small bag of cocaine following her interview with the police the day of the shooting. So was this woman high? Like, was she high and not doing her job? And she put an active bullet, a real bullet, in the gun and then handed it to him. And then if that is so, then how is he negligent? Because he didn't check

Evelyn, there were so many things. Okay. One, I had to have my firearm emptied walking into the training facility. When I entered the doors of the training facility, they checked again. And then they had taken a cable cord and slid the cable through the opening of the barrel. It was more of like a zip tie, I should say, as a check and balance process, that this firearm has been checked, and it is indeed empty. Now the cable is going through

I agree with you. When I went through my training, my cousin has a business. He's a very successful businessman, and his business is all about firearm, firearm safety. He trains people. He is one of the people that will receive your weapon and then he'll be able to give it to you once it passes the necessary paperwork and everything that is necessary. But anyway, he trained me very well
But in this case, that's the case when it comes to how they handle the firearms. But also how it went down that day and why it was able to be amongst the rest of them. Because there was more on the table because everybody left after they got through practicing and stuff. That area had been left but by the most important person. One of the most important people that day was the one that was in charge of the prop crazy. Who would have thought?
But that day, I guess there was props and then there was a real one among, obviously, right? And they're like, okay, well, someone, after they were done with it, must have said it amongst the rest of them because the others were tagged by the armor. Once again, somebody's still slipping up. Or was it intentional? I don't even know. It's crazy though, right?

So like I said, this is a whole mess, but this is going to set a precedent as to what people need to do in the event that they're having these kind of things on set. This is crazy. And I feel sorry for her family because they had to bury their baby. No matter how old she was, she's still somebody's baby. And I don't know if I could have done that

Hey, Ms. Evelyn, how are you? I hope you're doing good. So this one is a tough one because I thought that the people that were in charge of the stunts, I thought they had people that were supposed to check that type of stuff. Now should he have checked for himself? Maybe. But I mean, how many movies has he done? You know what I mean? How many movies has he done? How many movies has he been involved with?

Yeah. And that's what I was thinking. I'm not sure what he even has to do with this. I mean, I know that they said he was the producer and that probably he's ultimately responsible, but there are people that are supposed to check that. The person that does the props and is responsible for guns and stuff like that should have checked that, and then maybe they should have had somebody that came behind them and checked it again. I don't know
People said that are professionals that work on movie sets. They were saying that a prop gun doesn't shoot real gun bullets, it shoots blanks, right. Or, you know what I mean? Just you're not going to get any. It's not real. Right. So supposedly they had a gun earlier, shooting at cans. They said they're shooting at something
Okay, one more thing, y'all. So that armorer, the. The masters, whatever they call it, the set map. But the armor, basically the one we spoke of prior, they are responsible for all that, for the transport. You know what I mean? Anything that has to do with the touching, the handling of the weapon, is all on that person. So that actually is correct. When no one else is supposed to be doing anything with it. Not even Alec

I pray that the truth is revealed, the truth of his motive, the truth of the circumstances are revealed. I pray that witnesses, eyewitnesses will come forward, even those that may have talked to him about it after the fact and what he might have said that hasn't been made public. I pray that all of that comes out, and I pray that this woman, even in death, will get the justice that she deserves. So thank you so much for this

You know, I, too, hope that she gets justice because, you know, she can't speak for herself. The evidence is going to have to speak for her. The people are going to have to speak for her. I feel sorry for her parents, her brothers and sisters, if she had any children, husband, just people that loved her in general. I just really feel sorry that she's not here because I was telling this. Andrea, I need to know more

And, yeah, like you say, I mean, was the armor at fault for all of this? Was she certified? Was he certified? Like I said, this is a case I think we all need to watch on television because it's going to lead to a precedence of how guns should be treated on set at all times. And this is going to probably be a case study of how this should be, be done
I have opinions. Number one, let's get this right out the gate. I can't remember who said it doesn't matter. It is mag, not clip. It's very rarely, if ever, a clip. Most of the time it's a mag. There is a difference. Let's start out with Brandon Lee wasn't Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan is still alive and well, thank goodness. But Brandon Lee is dead. He died on the set of the crow
But he's a five year old or a three year old, whatever, because it's stupid. She didn't have to die. Number one rule of guns, the gun is always loaded. I don't care if it's a toy gun. I don't care if it's a prop gun. I don't care if it's a rubber gun. Although a rubber gun, maybe we can say, okay, it's probably not loaded. You can feel it. It's different

Just because he's director doesn't mean that he's responsible for someone else's actions. I mean, yes, he's the director. He should know these things. But as I was saying in my previous swells, maybe it was the armorer's position to do this, and then someone should have checked behind the armorer. Maybe it should have been a check and balance system. Three or four people to actually check before they handed him this weapon because I don't know
But also, if you're a Hollywood actor, or celebrity, because, I don't know. They don't like to put those kinds of people behind bars because it makes everyone look bad. I don't know. It's very rare trying to think of when a high profile actor went to prison. It's like OJ Simpson didn't. I guess he had good lawyers. If you're rich enough, you can get good lawyers and get yourself out of anything
Well, I mean, I don't think he was walking away Scott free. And we don't even really know, like you said, if he shot it or not. He was pointing it towards her because she was angling the camera. I do know that she's on the camera. So most likely he was doing as he was told. But did he know a bullet was in there? We don't know, but I know who was in charge was the armourer. That's the one
