A big story in the Jewish media today centers around actor Alec Baldwin shooting a couple of people on a movie set. He was apparently filming a shooting scene for a Western movie and was given a gun with live rounds instead of blanks. A cinematographer was killed and the director was wounded when he fired the gun.
Rest in Peace Halyna Hutchins.
The cinematographer who died when Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun and wounded the director.

The way the story so far is framed, the quotes from Baldwin, it seems like he was unaware it was loaded with blanks

A similar thing happened in the 1990s when Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee was killed filming “The Crow.”
There are already all sorts of weird theories being spread about this incident. Some are claiming that a Donald Trump supporter loaded the gun with live bullets to get back at Baldwin for his horrible Trump imitations on Saturday Night Live.
Might the prop gun have been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter, to punish Alec Baldwin for his Trump parodies? Should be a line of inquiry. https://t.co/lmfBWEbpmS

This is an actual conspiracy theory because there is no evidence to suggest that this is what happened.
Then you have Jews like John Pavlovitz trying to compare this situation to the incident with Kyle Rittenhouse.
The same people still defending Kyle Rittenhouse are crucifying Alec Baldwin.
We see you, gun nuts.

These are obviously two totally different things. Rittenhouse was defending himself from an attack by a group of anti-fascists including an armed pedophile. Baldwin was filming a movie and was not being attacked by anybody. Surely, this Jew can’t be that stupid. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.
Most likely this was just an accident, although Baldwin has proven in the past that he is a very unhinged and angry person. He regularly throws tantrums like a child. So it isn’t implausible that if he was angry at the director for some reason that he might have tried to kill him. But there’s no evidence that there was malintent on Baldwin’s part.
What I don’t get is why Baldwin didn’t check the gun to see if he had blanks or live rounds before shooting the scene. At the very least there was gross negligence involved between Baldwin and the people on the set that led to this situation happening.
