I laughed too hard at this reference. It is perfect.

What aggrivates me about Baldwin is that he has been very vocal about the normal citizen not being allowed to own guns. Now you see him making excuses for poor gun safety. He knew better, he was raised around guns, based on his parents business. Guns are not toys, they are dangerous when mishandled. I don't allow children to point toy guns at each other. Baldwin's arrogance caused this death. The fact that he didn't have time for safety procedures is proof that he should never be allowed to handle a real gun. I worked construction before retirement, There are signs of an unsafe work environment. Those little accidents that occur, when people are not safe, are precursors to a serious accident. From the film clips shown in Hannah's trial, noone had proper gun safety. People on that set were waving guns around like magic wands. My summary is Baldwin's arrogance killed Ms. Hutchins, the gun was just the tool he used.

Baldwin's stance on civilian firearms ownership is also hilariously hypocritical, since he grew up around firearms (his father even coached a rifle team). If there's one person who by all accounts SHOULD know how to responsibly handle a Firearm, it's Alec Baldwin. That he failed to behave properly and ended up killing someone and seriously wounding someone else speaks volumes to his behavior and character.

Yes, because you cannot trust the government to control what you do. I know most of you Runkle viewers are leftists who don't understand why the Second Amendment is far more important than say, the 'right' to inject hormones into underaged children because they claim to identify as another sex, but one is enshrined in the Constitution, the other is not. If you've been paying attention to Runkle, he specifically points out in his previous videos that once a government TAKES AWAY your rights, it does not want to give it back. The Canadian government has been *horrible* for this, which is why it is important to defend your right to carry, because once guns are banned, they're never coming back. I know that's something you would like, but most Americans don't, because they know what happens with a government that gains too much power and oversteps its boundaries. Almost all gun owners, ESPECIALLY the Second Amendment folks care about gun safety and responsibility. They respect guns, they don't fear them like you people do. They also learn about self-defense laws in their state, because despite all the noise they make about defending their right to carry one, they also know each state has ridiculously stupid laws regarding self-defense, a lot of which was advocated for by people who vote like you who do not understand them, so they learn to navigate the minefield that is self-defense law so they don't get screwed over. Spend less time in truecrime and watch a GunTuber channel. In fact, watch both! Then you will understand why it's actually important to defend yourself from other people, incluiding the government!

I left my phone in the other room and this stream autoplayed from a different video, and for a moment I was VERY concerned that something in my house was on fire😂

Brandon Lee died on the set of The Crow because another actor pointed a gun loaded with a blank at him and pulled the trigger. Unknown to everyone was that the gun had previously been used with a dummy with a live percussion cap, and the cap had lodged the dummy round's bullet in the barrel. This means the blank plus a bullet in the barrel equalled a fully loaded round. Other people have been injured or killed by the wadding in a blank round. This wadding is dangerous at short distances. These, among other similar instances, are why even replica firearms are supposed to be removed from the actors as soon as the Director calls "Cut".

@aaronbredon2948

@Maichen13 there are stories of rounds that got stuck in internal magazines, only to come loose and chamber after closing the action after unloading. This is part of the reason for the approach that every gun is loaded unless you have just personally unloaded it. The other part is that if you get into the habit of checking the gun immediately before doing every action that depends on an unloaded gun, you are much more unlikely to actually kill or injure yourself because a gun was loaded when you thought it was unloaded. Paranoia/being obsessive compulsive on this aspect is a survival trait.

Runkle! Great title! We in the film industry have known this for a very very long time. 🤣🤣🤘🏼

did you know? if you die on a set you die in real life! in other news, chat sounds exhausting this stream

In operating a motor vehicle, you need training and must obtain a permit or license in order to operate it. In that, you must know not to test anything while driving on public roads. You know that violating any traffic laws makes the potential of an accident more likely. In handling a firearm onset, you are trained how to operate one and what your personal responsibilities are in operating it regardless of anyone else's including the armorer and safety coordinator and regardless of if these latter two operate in a safe manner. You are trained to assume the the firearm is loaded at all times, not point it at anyone you don't want to end up shooting, have the necessary safety equipment installed when you use the firearm. You also should have the armorer check the gun before using. In absence of your safety people not doing their job, you're still required to do yours. Baldwin demonstrates literally every time he uses a firearm that he is not following his training or the film set policies in which case puts a certain responsibility on him as being reckless. He's done tons of movies where he has handled a firearm, yet he can't remember what his responsibilities are? Then, he should abstain from using a firearm. If he followed his responsibilities, Hutchens would still be alive. Everyone else on the set knew his responsibilities and they didn't go thru training.

As an Australian who isn't allowed to handle a firearm as I have a serious violent offence on my record, I would think most of this is common sense? Never point a gun at any body is rule 1 and I know that like wtf?

@potentiallyacommentor5648

Rule 1 is generally: Assume the gun is loaded. Rule 1a is generally: Even if you just checked, assume the gun is loaded. The commonly stated rule 1: "Only point a gun at something you want to destroy" is based on the assumption the gun is always loaded.

Yeh, at this point Hannah carries a good bit of responsibility here. This guy should have been kicked off set on safety grounds, and it was _her_ job to hold him to account. That's not to take any blame away from him, but any sane RSO would NEVER allow him near a firearm.

Simon's either trolling very poorly, actually stupid, on Baldwin's legal team, or auditioning as hard as he can to get on it... perhaps some combination of those.

Alec Baldwin stans making themselves look foolish in chat is always fun. Just a note to Simon Ramone; if we're all laughing AT you an calling you 'Simone', you only trolled yourself.

Baldwin, at most, would have just gotten a disdemeanor if he had remained silent the whole time like smart people. His constant bragging and blaming others, including his victims, is what got him in trouble. And he has no remorse for his carelessness. Halls and Gutierrez were the ultimate ones responsible for this tragedy. However, Baldwin put a lot of people in danger almost constantly by not following his portion of the responsibility, so he should have been charged anyhow. He definitely broke NM law that supercedes film set policies, and ignorance of the law is not a defense. And he forgot to remember that he has the right to remain silent, and anything he says or does can and will be used against him. On the contrary, when other actors have killed people on set, they were remorseful and took personal responsibility. None of them were charged because their errors were not quite clear to prevent these incidents. They are definitely clear now.

Whenever people are sort of dismissive of "blank rounds" as just a safe thing, I'm reminded of that excellent scene from "In Bruges", where Colin Farrells character shoots someone in the face with a blank from across the room, and the guy is just bleeding and sobbing, and its horrible.

This is exactly why an armorer is needed. Because actors are just like chat and have no idea about firearm safety. And they are literally hired to play around with guns. That's why you can't expect an actor to handle a gun properly. Especially not *while* they're acting.

The reason you treat all guns as loaded is because PLENTY of people have been shot by guns that "weren't loaded". Exactly the situation that occurred here. Baldwin flagrantly violated every rule. This would not have happened had he obeyed just one of these: * verify the gun is not loaded * not point the gun at someone * not have his finger on the trigger It's not like he was someone nervous 20 year old on their first role. They would still be culpable, but that would be way more understandable. He's worked for decades and in many scenes with guns. And he (foolishly) explained in great detail to the police in his interviews how all this works. (Good police work there, having him interviewed by female cops. You just know he switched into mansplaining mode😂 .) And he was a darn producer. I still say they should have gone with a depraved indifference unaliving charge.

She was only saved because a piece of scenery went through her breast on the way down and another person with her was able to grab hold of her cliff hanger style. Was told by the Chief stage manager it was her fault because she was stupid (he then jumped up and down on said trap door and fell himself, Proctor levels of misogyny here). Was on an award winning film set in the depths on the night and a girl's wig caught fire. Was working on a Cirque du Soleil type show and the winch winding the steel cables didn't stop at the top and ate through part of them 20 metres from the ground.

Disagree. Goofing around with a gun is reckless... unless we have different understandings of what "goofing around" is. Spinning a cocked revolver is reckless if you know or ought to know it's cocked and know or ought to know that it could cause pressure on the trigger that would make it go off. Spinning a cocked revolver is negligent if you think it is uncocked but don't check to make sure. Honestly, in most cases I'd say that spinning a loaded revolver leans towards recklessness regardless. My son owns a replica Colt SAA pellet gun. I've got no problem with him spinning it, but he better make sure it's not aired up or loaded before he does! Even with the powerlet removed, gas could be trapped by a malfunction. Even with no cartridges in the cylinder, a pellet could be lodged in the barrel. After checking both, it should be dry fired a couple times in a safe direction before it's "safe" to goof around with.

A verbal agreement is not reinforceable. It also does not protect both sides from criminal charges, such as witness tampering.

Anyone involved in film set safety must be familiar with state and local laws anywhere they film. Remember - ignorance of the law is not a defense. Federal, State, a d Local laws outweigh film, company, and/or safety policies. You handle a gun, loaded or not anywhere - it is up to you personally to know the laws of the area as well as the safety policies you need to follow. If Baldwin actually followed what he actually said he did with the armoror checking the gun and followed the screen actors' guild policies, no one would have been harmed. Even if your armoror and safety manager are reckless or inexperienced, if you as an actor follow the rules, it's likely that no one will be killed. That's why anyone handling firearms are personally responsible for following the safety policies and laws.

There is mandatory training for everyone involved in handling a firearm at the beginning of the movie production. There is also a mandatory firearms briefing every day a firearm is used on a movie set. Alec Baldwin grew up around guns. His father was a high school shooting coach who died from cancer after spending 28 years breathing in the lead dust from an unventilated gun range. Baldwin himself has been doing movies with firearms since famously filming Hunt for Red October in 1989. By his own words to investigators, he had been trained on the use of firearms for decades. Alec Baldwin simply can't claim ignorance here. Yes, he should have known that his actions endangered the lives of others, since he has been taught that for over 3 decades. Alec Baldwin simply just ignored that firearms safety training, leading to the obvious result.

Correct- The law presumes that you know that guns are dangerous and each individual should follow the gun safety rules. Those rules are simple- Do not point a gun at anyone you do not intend to kill being the most obvious. This applies to teenagers and every age group beyond that. If you are holding the gun, you are responsible for what happens

I am down for Bacon, Anchovie and Olive pizzas

Thx Ian !! Sorry about all the Bs !!

Okay, if the deadline has passed, the state should not be still adding witnesses. She is correct, as much as I dislike Baldwin and think he is personally responsible for Hutchins death. Trials must always be fair to both sides regardless of how we view the case to eliminate as much bias as we can. And I agree with Ian. This attorney is just the right amount of snark as not to go overboard as the rest of her team.

Okay, now I'm wrong. The state had the right to call them. The defense should have been more careful. They could have declared the same thing as well.

Hey Runkle! Love the hair! And you!❤

Simone needs some reeducation of firearms safety rules.

I was deeply disturbed when I first heard about the incident because I had within the week before seen people in the Rants and Raves section of CL complaining about the situation on set and talking about the staff walking out en masse. I'm kicking myself for not being able to find the screenshots that I could've sworn I took because I wanted to show my mom (we like to talk about different industry related topics) but I can't find it on any of my devices.

Recklessness is an example of negligence. They are not mutually exclusive.

I would argue that you can have negligence without recklessness, (ex. a parent not taking their sick child to seek medical help). Recklessness would be that parent inflicting harm on the child with negligence of their duty as a parent

@@jenythpaltrow3872 you're exactly right.

if you have a bad leader the whole place is a mess how do you expect anyone else to fallow the rules and back the person in charge of such rules.

oh boy another anchovy pizza enjoyer, I miss those its really hard to find a shop that has them as a topping nowadays.

It could be neglect not to check the ammo load. Recklessness comes into it when after neglecting or not caring to check the load out and then playing with the gun anyway. You could argue reliance on the armorer for the load out. You can't then argue you can violate/disregard other safety rules based on that reliance.

Get raw sugar and make your own simple syrup for your mojitos!!! It makes all the difference

First listed infraction (which I'm assuming is true) and ngl, if I was the armourer they'd have had to sack me. I wouldn't let this guy anywhere near a firearm, full stop.

There are multiple documented cases of people being KILLED with blanks... Which Baldwin would know if he could be bothered to study the safety briefing... even more egregious Baldwin wasn't just an actor on the set, as eecutive producer, he was the employer and responsible for the movie in its entirety. He bears some responsibility for all the unsafe conditions.

Early movie blanks used a wax plug, wich was not fun to get hit by.

So when the rcmp charged me for driving on the wrong side of the road when I simply just made a left turn (which was totally legal and totally allowed) … was that something that was doing to myself??

Replay crew! This is going to b a very interesting trial.

The fact that the defence only has access to a destroyed gun doesn't help them in their destruction of evidence argument. If they make that argument in court all it will accomplish is prove that even bashing the cocked and loaded revolver's hammer against a hard surface to the point where the gun was permanently damaged, it wouldn't go off. On the other hand pulling the trigger did cause the gun to fire according to the forensics. This firearm was perfectly safe. If you don't touch the trigger it won't go off, which is what you expect from a well-maintained, high quality weapon. Of course the gun did fire, so the only reasonable conclusion is that the trigger was pulled (either intentionally or by inserting a finger inside the trigger guard and slipping up, which is just as bad as far as gun safety is concerned). Not to mention the muzzle was pointed at a human being, which you never, ever do.

Almost forgot this in the Karen Read coverage. Replay crew. RIP to another hypothetical Bob. 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning - its morning in 🇬🇧 👵🏻love your intros (boom) & exits Runkle(& your interesting and funny channel) sadly your "lives" are a bit too late 😴for me.

Whether you are on a film set or not the 4 cardinal rules of firearms saftey always apply, also just because you are on a film set doesn't mean that the law just dissappears! The biggest fact against Baldwin is that he did not check the rounds in the firearm he was handed, it would have literally taken him maximum 60 seconds to unload, check and reload the firearm. He was rushing production and when you rush on saftey critical procedures you are setting up things for an incident to happen.

There is definitely a bit of overlap between negligence and recklessness. Should make a ven diagram of all the things Alec did.

I must have missed the live😢

I watch Andrea Burkhart live, then Runkle. She interrupts less during live coverage than EDB, but adds more commentary afterwards. One day last week her stream went 11.5 hours. Then I had dinner, walked my dog, and by that time Runkle was starting. ‘‘Twas a great day.

I have no clue how Character evidence was brought into the Read case, it seems like hearsay when the other party is deceased!

I'm imagining Madam Prosecutor standing in the court, playing Baldwin's entire Stephanopoulos interview. Would that be allowed? I actually think it could be a great narrative choice to tie everything together.

Every word Runkle says here confirms my preconceived opinion. I kind of hate when that happens. This just feeds my ego and I learn nothing new.

Runkle is more level-headed than Law of Self Defense. I find some of Branca's arguments a bit unhinged.

Lawyers are taught how to present and behave when they're in court in front of a judge, and they also need to be taught how to present themselves via video conference, in the most positive light possible, now that so much video conferencing is happening. I think this is a big business opportunity.

Re Negligence vs. Recklessness: Generally, negligence is not doing something you're supposed to do. Recklessness is doing something you're not supposed to do or without regard for whether it's safe to do. NEGligent shares a root with NEGative. RECKless shares a root with RECKon. Hannah was NEGLIGENT in not checking to make sure all loaded rounds were the correct rounds for the scene. She was RECKLESS in bringing live rounds onto the set to begin with. Baldwin was NEGLIGENT in not verifying that the gun he was handed was loaded with only dummy rounds. He was RECKLESS in screwing around with the gun in a way that caused it to fire. Even if he HAD checked to verify the rounds were dummies, it STILL would have been reckless to screw around with the gun because he could have been wrong or there could be something else going on. The famous example that Runkle keeps talking about is Brandon Lee's death during the filming of The Crow. The gun was loaded with blanks like it was supposed to be. I assume both the armourer and the actor checked. A blank caused an obstruction in the barrel to fire like a bullet. There was no negligence because they checked. There was (arguably) no recklessness because the actor was (probably) supposed to aim at Lee and shoot (although he probably shouldn't have aimed DIRECTLY at him). If the same actor had been screwing around between scenes thinking he was a funny man and it was only blanks in the gun and shot a cameraperson... THAT would have been reckless.

People can be so naive about guns.

Hey mr runkle with the cool hair. Do you know if the baldwin trial will be televised like hannahs trial? Thanks

The only hard and fast rule I was told about having toy guns as a kid was don't point them at anyone. That stuck firm with me, I wouldn't even point a water pistol directly at someone. There was a line in my brain between things like cap pistols which can't fire anything and things like cork guns which could. I considered BB guns actual weapons although I never had one as a kid, I was taught enough about gun safety by my grandparents to respect anything that can actually fire a projectile. I admit I've spent hours fidgeting with my cap pistols, practicing spinning them and cocking and firing, things I'd never do with a non toy gun. I wouldn't have treated my cork rifle like that or even a Neft gun. My brain said those were on the side of the line where you only use them for target shooting.

It’s weird how so many people in your live stream are arguing with you the firearms lawyer
