....He then detailed, We are now starting to see the propaganda machine so were to believe that this man is a victim. Three weeks ago it was a prop gun. Four weeks ago nobody knew how in the world this real weapon was loaded on the set. And today he didnt pull the trigger. What kind of idiots do you take us for? ....
He continued, Im embarrassed. Im embarrassed for actors. Im embarrassed for Hollywood. Im embarrassed for an industry that supports this. Im incredibly embarrassed for Stephanopoulos because, my god, why are you perpetuating this BS. Do you really think people dont know? ....
So, please dont allow this I didnt pull the trigger blasphemy to be the final say in what is I think the worst mark on my industry that Ive seen in my 61 years, he put forward. ....

They went through so many of them it stood out that they'd get into one car, and be in a different car a little later.

(6,546 posts)While in the Army, I shot a handgun with a hair trigger. If you haven't shot one, you just don't know how exquisitely sensitive they are. You could shoot it accidentally and never know you touched the trigger. I swear on this. You can EASILY just brush the trigger and have it discharge. We don't know what happened here. We are not in a position to judge.
I remember well when Jon Erik accidentally shot himself. What safety precautions did they change to when handling prop guns? All guns are dangerous no matter what ammo they have in them.
And, can you imagine what it would be like to accidentally shoot someone? People who go to war and have to shoot someone in combat can be destroyed even if they had encouragement to do it. Both my brothers went to Nam, shot people, and the war ruined them. You don't get over it or ever forget.
I'm not particularly fond of Baldwin, but I have sympathy for him having to deal with this. And, if he had to say he didn't shoot because he is having problems with what happened, well, get him some help.
John Schneider should keep his mouth shut. I'm sad to hear he said this. How hard can it be to imagine that maybe Baldwin is suffering? I think John's anger is misplaced.
