Reactions from ABC News exclusive interview with Alec Baldwin

1. Alan Baldwin one week earlier: I’m under orders from the Santa Fe police not to say anything.
   Alec Baldwin one week later: Screw the Santa Fe police, I’m controlling the narrative here.

2. Interesting interview. I really hadn't understood somehow that Alec Baldwin was actually the VICTIM of this crime. Silly me.

3. The About a Bunch of Clowns network needs to fire G. Step-in-it.

4. Was there only one bullet in the gun?

5. this magic bullet is crazier than the kennedy bullet

6. go to snl and make a joke out of it

7. There's more crying in baseball than there is in Baldwin.

8. Somehow a bullet, not just any bullet, but the exact caliber bullet not only got on that movie set but got into that Colt pistol. He cocked the hammer and let the hammer go without checking it. That’s all we know.

9. A pair of 1st class A-holes.

10. Calm down people, he does feel guilty, he didn’t mean It the way you’re thinking. He didn’t purposely shoot her. He trusted the people working on the set, he said in 40 years of acting he has never checked to see if a gun was loaded with real bullets…the person that gave him the gun should be more at fault than Alec

11. Alec is guilty

12. You know, if this were a person of color the conversation would be very different…he needs to face justice whether it was an accident or not. He ended a life and there are consequences.

13. From the way he has conducted himself since the shooting, to saying he didn’t pull the trigger, to seemingly not realizing that you rely on NOONE to tell you that a REAL gun is “cold”, to not admitting you NEVER point a real gun EVER at anything that you don’t want to shoot, etc., etc. seems to all look like Baldwin is in serious denial of the reality of what happened. Maybe this is a coping mechanism of some sort. He may truly believe what he is saying. I am sure his lawyers want him to shut his pie hole already.

14. Not my bad! No guilt here!

15. Why did he let go of the hammer? He knew the trigger was pulled but thought that gun had no bullet. It's his fault for not checking the gun. Mr. Baldwin will be convicted and serve time in prison.

16. You people disgust me.

17. Alec: It was the victim's fault. She told me what to do.
    If you accidentally shoot and kill someone, that's involuntary manslaughter. Alec obviously didn't take the 2 seconds needed to double-check the gun, that's negligent homicide. You don't get special treatment just because you're making a movie.

18. Oscar Nominee interview

19. No-one gets Killed filming all the John Wick movies..Then this..fucked up.

20. I genuinely feel sorry for Alex. He comes off callous for saying he doesn't feel guilty, but, if he didn't know the gun was loaded, how can he be responsible enough to do time for it? We all know good and well that he didn't know the gun was loaded so why all this anger with him?

21. this man is too stupid to hold a gun…bottomline

22. This man can squarely place blame, BUT CAN NEVER ADMIT TO IT!!
    He killed someone, plain and simple.

23. The Armourer can make mistakes…check the gun yourself…why is this not being taught. The excuse of" it waists time & money, they have to reset the gun "…yada. yada, yada is such crap. Is it more important than someone's life? This example of what can happen. Simple not complicated.

24. He is not devastated, he does not even feel guilt

25. celebrity being a celebrity

26. ☝️.surprise me with a transfer of $5,000 send direct into my PayPal account, yesterday

27. ☝️surprise me with a transfer of $5,000 send direct into my PayPal account, yesterday

28. I don't know who the hell is advising him, or if he just went rogue and did this himself, but doing a nationally televised interview in the middle of a major death investigation was an incredibly dumb thing to do.

29. Baldwin’s interview was rehearsed, everything there, is designed to help him out, shame on abc

30. trying to react, nothing coming out ….. probably numb …..

31. I don't like the fact Alec Baldwin is not taking ANY responsibility over the death of that woman. But I'm not in his shoes. If I shot a woman dead by complete accident like Alecs situation. I may be so angry and I know I did not mean to do that. I didn't load put a real bullet in that gun. In fact I didn't even pull the trigger! I'd probably be blaming everyone on the set in a fit of anger and sadness over what just happened. . . Its a messed up situation but I believe when Alec said

    "if I felt responsible I probably would have killed myself"

    I really felt that and no im sorry. He's definitely not acting here or doing very good if he's trying to make a defense for himself because you can see he's speaking straight from the heart and not trying to form the best sentences because anything. At this point could be used against him. God bless that womans husband and child.

32. The OFFICIAL weapons safety protocol practiced on all movie sets is published and easy to find online.

    Safetyonset is the official site.

    According to Joey Dillon, professional union armorer in L.A. California;

    “Before being placed in the gun, I show them to the first assistant director. He or she shakes them listening for that BB inside.

    Then I load them in the gun. I try to fire all of the dummy rounds at the floor in front of the assistant director. Nothing happens.

    I then present the gun to the talent, also firing at the floor so they see. If they are pointing it at another player, I also show them.”

    If Baldwin didn’t want to do it himself like George Clooney has detailed he could have followed the above SOP and safety protocol.

    Baldwin has extensively handled weapons on film sets.
    Baldwin knows his role in the SOP and OFFICIAL film set safety protocol between the armorer, AD and actor.

    WHY isn’t Baldwin being held to the explicit protocol EXPLICITLY published and available online?

33. 😷 it’s not me

34. mabye he pulled the trigger in anger, like a child with a toy gun, Alec does not like being told what to do, he has a very short fuse, his comments about the cinematographer are lies, the director gives directions not the film woman…remember his comments to his 11 yr old daughter 'you are a filthy disgusting pig' this man is not very calm in his responses to normal situations

35. This guy is just trying to save his own skin, he's not going to take the blame even though he was the one with the gun, and he was in charge of production. He sure puts on a good act on ABC news. Must be trying for a Oscar. This guy doesn't care about anything but himself, he is as bad as Travis Scott and Kylie. Money, money, money. Now do your Trump impersonation.

36. I feel guilty for watching ABC

37. None of this matters, Joe Biden will just Pardon him.

38. Rule # 1 load your own gun

39. If you know anything about handguns especially single action ones he is lying though his teeth it just can't happen like he said it's impossible. Thats why you rest the hammer on an empty chamber. Guilty. Guilty. And guilty.

40. Alec and George…… A pair of LIBERAL DEMOCRAT NUTJOBS!!!!

41. Baldwin is guilty of murder plain and simple. Probably was having an affair with this woman and needed to end it.

42. Hes an actor, and he didnt know they previously been shooting live rounds which was reported? Common man….its who you are world! New Norm….follow science on covid, reject science on shooting in movie making…..
