ALEC BALDWIN GUILTY OF SOMETHING: GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE DO.

ICHEOKU says it does not make sense that the President Donald John Trump impersonator did not intend to shoot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he shot her dead at his Rust film set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He picked up the gun, pointed it at her direction, aimed it at her and then squeezed the trigger, letting off the hot leads that flew towards her and penetrated her body, killing her instantly. 

Somebody died as a result of Alec Baldwin's action of firing a loaded gun. All that is left now is to decide the level of his culpability, but he cannot walk away Scott-free from every responsibility; at least, he is guilty of reckless endangerment. He broke all the safety rules of gun handling by not treating the gun as loaded; pointing it at a person when he did not intend to discharge it and pulled the trigger without checking the vicinity for the presence of other possible victims.

He may have been playing with the gun or was mistaken as to the true nature of the bullets inside the gun, whether they were live or blank bullets; but the fact that he aimed and pointed the gun at the victim, imposes some level of responsibility on him. He acted in reckless indifference to human life and complete disregard for the safety of others not to cause harm to them. He should not have pointed and aimed the gun at people or alternatively, aimed it elsewhere. Why did he point the gun at her and then followed it up by pulling the trigger.  

It is a given that Alec Baldwin is weird and somehow stranger than normal. He attacked someone in a New York cafe and have had several other run-ins with cameramen and journalists. He attacked paparazzis and have also been involved in many fisticuffs in the past. He has also used profanities and used racial and homophobic slurs; and also berated his daughter. His rashness and mercurial temper is well known, so it is possible that he was having one of such his angry episode of ravaging fits when he trust the gun forward and pulled the trigger, causing the death of Halyna Hutchins. 

He may not have intended to fire the gun and kill her; and possibly did not even know that the gun was loaded when he was handed the gun, but the end result was the death of a young woman and somebody is responsible for causing her death and that somebody is Alec Baldwin. He is responsible for his actions and he owed Haylna Hutchins the duty of care not to harm or kill her; and also to ensure that the gun did not contain live bullets. So, he can be as remorseful as he wants to be, he failed in his responsibility and should have thought about the consequences of his action before letting the bullets fly out of the barrel of the gun.

Therefore he should and ought to be held accountable, if not for murder or manslaughter, for some other less included offense such as unlawful endangerment and/or assault. Halyna Hutchins is someone's daughter, sister, aunt, mother and wife, and Alec Baldwin has deprived these people her continuous love and affection. Their loved one was lost by reckless and/or negligent misuse of a firearm of Alec Baldwin. At 63 years he is old enough to know not to kid around with a gun and it does not matter whether or not he knew the gun was loaded. The responsibility of handling a firearm is strict and only he alone is responsible for discharging it and killing Halyna Hutchins.

A diligent and well trained gun handler or user should have first checked the chamber of the gun to see if the gun was loaded and cleared it before playing with it. If it was handed to him, he should have asked questions and rechecked it himself before firing it. But Alec Baldwin belongs to the woke culture nut jobs who are anti NRA and the Second Amendment, and was not properly trained as a certified gun handler and went on to kill another man's daughter. It is not right as Halyna Hutchins did not deserve to be killed just like that, on her job, leaving her husband a widower and her children motherless; not by Alec Baldwin and not by any other person. 

Alec Baldwin did the crime and he should do the time. It is not a defense to homicide that the gun was handed to him by another in a movie set as he could have used a fake gun. Such can only mitigate the degree of homicide but cannot completely excuse it. While he lacked the intent to kill her, he had the intent to pull the trigger and this could be read as an implied or transferred intent to commit an act of wanton disregard for human life. Therefore he should be arrested immediately without any further delay and charged for causing the death of Halyna Hutchins; and let the court decide if what he did amounts to an excusable homicide, whether accidental or otherwise, or a reckless endangerment. 

If convicted, depending on the sentencing guidelines of New Mexico, he will most likely still be in prison when President Donald John Trump regains the White House in 2024; and you wonder who will then play his role mimicking the former president on Saturday Night Live. It is obvious too that a wrongful death action will be headed his way as well, as the bereaved family of Haylna Hutchins deserves to be compensated for her wrongful death. It is sad that such a rising Hollywood cinematographer had to loss her life in the hands of Alec Baldwin. May her soul now rest and to the grieving family, the fortitude to bear her sudden but otherwise avoidable death. To Alec Baldwin, it counts to many of his infra-digs and MAGA-nation got no sympathy for him. #LockHimUp.
