Bruce Bawer – American Greatness Oct 30, 2021
Alec Baldwin is a terrific actor. At least I’ve enjoyed him. You may disagree. On the Tina Fey series “30 Rock,” I found him very amusing as the obnoxious network exec—although, come to think of it, I guess that was mostly a case of excellent typecasting. Twenty-five years ago, he was effective as the sinister heavy in “The Juror,” opposite Demi Moore. But hmm . . . I guess that was pretty much typecasting, too. And his legendary performance in “Glengarry Glen Ross” as the loathsomely abusive sales trainer—well, OK. Either he’s a terrific actor or he’s been selected for TV and film roles by some damn fine casting directors.
A few months ago, Baldwin was at the center of a scandal that would have made you or me crawl into a cave to die. For years, on talk shows, he’d described his wife, Hilaria, as Spanish; whenever she was on TV herself, she’d claim, in a distinctly Spanish accent, that she’d first come to the United States at age 19. Then it turned out that her real name is Hilary, that she’s as WASPy as they come, and that she grew up in tony Weston, Massachusetts, with a mother who taught at Harvard Medical School.
In short, they’re both sociopaths. At best.
Baldwin has been through—or, rather, caused—other travails, owing to the fact that he’s a world-class hothead. In 1995, he broke a paparazzo’s nose. In 2011, he was kicked off a plane for refusing to turn off his phone before takeoff. In 2012 and 2013, he made headlines for several scuffles with various photographers. He was arrested in 2014 for getting belligerent with cops—always a good idea—and in 2018 for punching a guy over a Manhattan parking spot. Then there was the time that one of his voicemails, in which he called his 11-year-old daughter a “rude, thoughtless little pig” and said she didn’t have “brains or . . . decency as a human being,” went public.
As repulsive as all this behavior is, none of it has humbled Baldwin in the slightest, or put a dent in his golden reputation with the mainstream media. Along with other insufferable nitwits like Rob Reiner and Barbra Streisand, he’s one of the showbiz Left’s leading holier-than-thou lights, always ready to preach and pontificate—and since his politics put him on the side of the angels, he’s been forgiven repeatedly for his odious behavior. Capping his role as left-wing hero, needless to say, was his regular gig as Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live.” For his high-profile mockery of the president, the leaders of the Democratic Party would’ve gladly given him a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card, if they’d been able to.
The Left especially loved him because of his hatred for guns. Boy, did he hate guns. Boy, did he hate the Second Amendment. And boy, did he hate gun-owners. He hated them so much that instead of carrying on respectful debates with defenders of gun rights, he always went after them with, well, guns a-blazing.
In 2018, along with Amy Schumer, Patton Oswalt, Jimmy Kimmel, David Hogg, and other celebs, Baldwin helped form the No Rifle Association Initiative (NoRA, get it?) to fight the NRA. In the same year, he tweeted that NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch “doesn’t care how many dead bodies she has to step over.” In 2017, after a Huntington Beach police officer accidentally shot a young man to death during a struggle, Baldwin sneered on Twitter: “I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone.” He also cracked jokes when Dick Cheney shot and wounded a friend in a hunting accident.
How beautiful his righteous passion was! How noble and selfless was his uncompromising devotion to the anti-gun cause!
And then, on October 21, it happened. At the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico, Alec Baldwin was filming a movie called “Rust.” He was the star and also the producer. It was a small-budget Western about a character named Harland Rust (Baldwin), “who rescues his thirteen-year-old grandson Lucas after he is sentenced to hang for an accidental murder.” While rehearsing a scene set in a church, Baldwin, 63, drew a Colt .45 revolver and fired it, killing the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injuring the director, Joel Souza, 48.
Baldwin doesn’t have to wonder anymore “how it must feel” to kill someone wrongfully.
What made the situation hit home for me in a kind of weird way was the news that Hutchins had grown up in Murmansk. As it happens, the woman who runs the beauty parlor under my apartment in small-town Norway is from Murmansk. It’s a dreary, ice-cold place. No city on earth (with a population of over a quarter million) is further north. What an incredible triumph for Hutchins to have made her way to sunny Tinseltown, where, by all accounts, she was a brilliant camerawoman with a great career ahead of her. And now, through the most incomprehensible turn of events, she was suddenly dead at the hands of a movie star a world away from her Arctic home—leaving behind her husband, Matthew, a lawyer, and their nine-year-old son, Andros, who after being informed of his mother’s death “couldn’t say a word for two days.”
How did this killing happen? In the days since the incident, the story has been endlessly recounted, although many of the details have changed or been confusing. Apparently, the film’s assistant director, David Halls, handed Baldwin the weapon, saying “cold gun,” meaning that it wasn’t loaded—although Halls has since told officials “that he hadn’t thoroughly checked each of the rounds of ammunition.” Since Hutchins’s killing, it has emerged that Halls was fired from a previous movie two years ago “over a mishap with a gun.”
Another person of interest is Hannah Gutierrez Reed, 24, a nepotism hire who despite her youth and inexperience (and an alarming immaturity, to judge by videos she’s posted online) was given the job of being the film’s armorer—i.e., the person in charge of guns on the set—a task generally delegated to someone with firearms expertise, often a former member of the military. Earlier this year, working on a movie in Montana, Reed reportedly failed “to follow basic gun safety protocols” and “discharged weapons without warning,” leading the film’s star, Nicolas Cage, to walk off the production.
Commenting on the killing of Hutchins, a number of film and TV professionals have emphasized that on a properly run set involving weapons, gun safety is the number-one priority, and every gun is passed carefully from hand to hand in accordance with a fixed procedure. At each step, both parties look into the chambers and confirm out loud that there are no bullets in the gun; at each step, it’s dry-fired into the ground once for every chamber, just to ensure that it’s empty. If someone puts the gun down—to go to the bathroom, say—and then comes back and picks it up, he has to go through the whole ritual all over again.
Although some movie guns are essentially toys that can’t even take real bullets, in period Westerns it’s common to use real antique guns—but not live rounds, which, as a rule, are utterly verboten on film sets. Yet Hutchins was apparently killed by a live round. (To be sure, you don’t need real bullets to have a fatal incident. In 1984, actor Jon-Erik Hexum, unaware that even blanks can be deadly at close range, shot one into his temple as a gag and died.) Indeed, police apparently found 500 rounds of ammunition on the film set, “a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and live rounds.” If true, this qualifies as shockingly inappropriate.
That the “Rust” set was not properly run has been testified to by many persons close to the production. Only hours before Baldwin killed Hutchins, seven members of the “Rust” crew walked off the set citing safety and housing concerns. Reportedly, there had been “two accidental weapon discharges” from a gun that was described as containing no live ammunition.
Peggy Lane, an actress and producer who worked with Baldwin on “Will and Grace” and calls him “the nicest guy,” found the news from the “Rust” set “insane,” telling me: “One never rehearses with a real gun. One never points a gun at another person or at the camera. And the first AD never hands the weapon to an actor. That is the armorer’s job.”
On Twitter, actress Kirstie Alley made the same point. “No AD yells ‘COLD GUN.’ The armourer [sic] or prop person is supposed to PERSONALLY show you the gun so you can see it is empty for yourself. Then I dry fire it into the ground. I have NEVER been handed a gun by an AD & I’ve been handed 100 guns & I’ve never heard ‘COLD gun’ in 40 years.”
I’d forgotten that my sister, Carol, whose CV includes production jobs on films like “Death Becomes Her” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” spent several months in the 1990s working on a couple of TV series at the Bonanza Creek Ranch. “I have worked with lots of gunfire and explosions in movies and TV and nothing happened,” she told me the other day on Facebook Messenger, “because we had union behavior on set. Preparation, safety, rules followed. All of that makes a difference. Casual attitude on set is what causes accidents.”
Alas, everyone on the “Rust” set was apparently, as my sister delicately put it, an “asshole.” Though not in the business anymore, she’s still in touch with many people who are, and what she’s heard about this shoot isn’t good.
“There was a lot of stupidity, disregard for safety, confusion, and lax attitude on that set,” she told me. When those six “experienced and trained” crew members walked off the set, it “left the show with raw crew.” Since Baldwin and his fellow producers “likely felt they were losing money,” they “started to move fast, without checking all the steps for safety.”
And the gun? According to what she’s heard from people close to the production, allegedly “the gun was never checked. The gun was left unattended on a cart, the gun was taken on a HUNTING TRIP or used for target practice, the person in charge of taking care of the gun was lax, the AD (my job) called the gun ‘cold’ (meaning it has no ammo in the chambers) without even CHECKING THE CHAMBERS. He handed it to a smug actor who pulled the trigger ON A REHEARSAL. While POINTING AT THE DIRECTOR AND DP.”
Her conclusion: “Too many assholes on one set. Remove any of the assholes from the process and it would not have happened. Film sets like that one are accidents waiting to happen.”
My sister—who, note well, is a progressive Democrat—complained about the widespread effort to pin all or most of the blame for the killing on Halls and/or Reed. “They are really pointing at the AD and the arms person as being culpable,” she wrote. “It seems they are giving a pass to Baldwin, which I don’t understand. They said he will need to be questioned, but he’s already in Vermont with his family. As far as I am concerned, he was holding a weapon and needed to make sure his weapon, or prop, or toy, was SAFE to be playing with. And he should NOT have fired the weapon. PERIOD. Blanks or not. He was apparently just practicing, doing quick draw movements for the shot. He didn’t need to fire it.”
No, he didn’t. But it’s striking that a lot of the same people who hold Donald Trump responsible for the so-called insurrection on January 6—even though he explicitly told his supporters to behave peaceably—are quick to insist on Baldwin’s innocence in the death of Halyna Hutchins.
In doing so, they’re deliberately ignoring a key point: if a crew, whether on a movie set or a construction site or a Navy destroyer, is made up of assholes, always look to the captain or foreman—or, in this case, producer. Dollars to donuts, he’ll turn out to be the biggest asshole of all. He’s the one who sets the tone, who either encourages or permits hasty, slipshod, and unprofessional behavior by his crew or disciplines or fires them for it. It’s the boss man who’s ultimately responsible for chronic recklessness on the job. On “Rust,” the head asshole was Baldwin, the producer. He hired Halls and Reed, or at least approved of their hiring. He had to approve any decision involving guns.
Also—and, ultimately, this is all that really matters—Baldwin was the one who fired the fatal shot. It’s an action that makes absolutely no sense. Purportedly he was preparing to do a scene in which he was supposed to fire his gun in the direction of the camera. But when such scenes are actually filmed, the director and cinematographer, who are otherwise usually behind the camera, always move to another spot for safety’s sake. If Baldwin was just preparing for the scene, there was no reason whatsoever to aim the gun at Hutchins, and no reason to pull the trigger. It doesn’t matter in the slightest whether he thought the gun had been checked. It doesn’t matter what anybody, either the first AD or the armorer, said to him about the gun. According to established on-set gun procedures, he should have treated it as a real gun containing deadly bullets until he, himself, ascertained otherwise.
In short, he should have checked the gun himself, visually. He should then have dry-fired it into the ground, once for each chamber. And even after he’d proven the gun’s emptiness beyond any doubt, he still shouldn’t have aimed it at anybody. And he shouldn’t have pulled the trigger. Never, never, never.
There are several steps there. Alec Baldwin failed all of them. Totally. Ignominiously.
And this is assuming that the notoriously hotheaded star didn’t act in anger.
I’m not a gun expert. Far from it. But I know enough to understand that mature gun owners educate themselves thoroughly about their guns, store them securely, and handle them with the utmost caution—and, when they train their children to be gun owners, they teach them to do all these things, too. Being this kind of responsible gun owner is the very opposite of being an inner-city thug who murders innocent kids in drive-bys. Which is why serious gun owners resent the likes of Alec Baldwin—because his whole take on guns is based on the spurious notion that the alarming statistics on gun deaths in the United States are their fault and not the fault of gang violence by people to whose criminal activities the Left has chosen to blind itself.
It’s hardly a coincidence that Halyna Hutchins was shot to death by the man who is arguably America’s most famous enemy of the Second Amendment. While responsible gun owners treat their guns with respect, Baldwin has no respect either for guns or for their owners. No surprise, then, that unlike any responsible NRA member—but very much like one of those above-mentioned inner-city thugs, who’s grown into adulthood without ever developing the slightest concern for his fellow man—Baldwin, by handling his gun with such contemptuousness, exhibited an arrogant indifference toward its potential deadliness. Which is to say, an arrogant indifference toward the lives of everyone on his film set.
I looked up New Mexico law. It distinguishes between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter:
Voluntary manslaughter consists of an intentional killing for which there was a mitigating circumstance, which reduces the crime from murder. Involuntary manslaughter, on the other hand, consists of a killing that was unintentional, resulting from either recklessness or criminal negligence.
For example, if a person decided to drive a car blindfolded and ended up in a car accident where passengers were killed, the act would be perceived as reckless since it may be anticipated that death or serious injury would occur from such actions and the person would be charged with voluntary manslaughter. Another example is if the same person, knowing that his car had serious brake problems, allowed another person to drive his car. This may be perceived as a criminally negligent act and the person may be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Some commentators, including experienced prosecutors, have suggested that Baldwin could be charged, at most, with involuntary manslaughter. I’m no legal expert, but it seems to me that not checking a gun for bullets, then aiming it at a person and firing it, is very much analogous to a person driving a car blindfolded. This would make Alec Baldwin guilty, at the very least, of voluntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony punishable by up to six years in prison.
I fear that in these dreadful times when American justice is poisoned by politics, justice will not be done, and Alec Baldwin will walk. I can picture him returning to the talk-show circuit—at first contrite, but soon enough returning to his usual wiseguy mode. And worst of all, I can also picture him audaciously using his own crime—because that’s what it is, a crime—as Exhibit A in his war on guns. He’s enough of a shameless sociopath to twist this whole thing around and wear the mantle not of a killer but of a victim of circumstances whose passion for the anti-gun cause has only been intensified by his terrible experience.
But let’s not give up hope yet. Let’s hope for justice to be done. And if, by some fluke, it is done, let’s hope that the next few summers in New Mexico are very, very hot.

Excellent analysis – especially at the end. As usual, we will see the usual Leftist Doublethink.
Karma, nothing more, nothing less!
According to Benjaminfulford.net, (25.10.21) Halyna Hutchins was a Ukrainian spy, whose husband is a lawyer defending the Clintons. Much more to this story than meets the eye.
Benjamin Fulfoird is a loser a twat who talks from his bum
tony blair style
baldwin walks. ‘prince’ andrew walks. Julian Assange rots in jail. ‘justice’.
Well written, if a little long. Baldwin will pay dearly for this in my opinion. As Tosh says, “more to this than meets the eye”. I really don’t follow this kind of thing.
Baldwin should have checked and cleared the weapon as should all actors. Only an absolute moron would take possession of a weapon without being shown an empty breech, then point it at someone and fire it on faith it’s empty. The weapon should be pointed to the side of someone not at them, and before the director called “Action!” he should have known in which direction he could safely discharge it.
Baldwin is a good actor, especially in The Edge with Anthony Hopkins being hunted by a man-eating bear. But this shooting is odd. No series of actions can be that negligent or incompetent so I think only foul play can explain why this woman died. Two possible motives I’ve heard both involve the Clintons. Did Baldwin visit Epstein’s island, and was he forced to do this to avoid some sleazy revelations?
another aspect of the story :
Investigators on Monday spoke with actress Kim Bassinger, Baldwin’s estranged ex-wife and Ireland’s mother. They had hoped to learn whether Alec Baldwin had ever expressed a desire to murder someone in real life and not just in movies.
Bassinger, however, had something else to confess.
She told investigators that Baldwin cussed out their daughter because she refused to participate in a “daughter swapping” arrangement with other high-profile, Hollywood celebrities.
Bassinger told investigators that she had taken a vow of silence on the issue, to protect Alec and Ireland from media scrutiny, but now felt compelled to disclose the truth in the wake of the shooting of Halyna Hutchins, as it gave her an “enlightened perspective” as to who Alec Baldwin really is.
“So, of course I didn’t want Ireland, a little girl then, involved in this pervasive sickness that’s engulfed the industry. You know what Alec told me? ‘Everyone’s doing it,’ is what he said. I told him ‘hell no we wouldn’t go along with that’ and he still tried to pressure Ireland into visiting his friends. That’s what he called it,” Bassinger told investigators.

Baldwin is just another “wanna be Hollywood tough guy.” Brash, arrogant, and all around asshole. Just like his fellow gas bag; De Niro.
Add to the fact that some years back he whined about gun ownership, but has no problem betraying a gun toting tough guy in his fictional world in Jewwood.
In short: Alec Baldwin is nothing more than a bought and paid for clown to dumb down the masses for the soon to be Jew World Order.
Hollywood has delighted in showing the public so many fatal shootings that it should be expected that it bleeds into their own lives (no pun intended).
Funny that the husband of the Halyna Hutchins was working for a lawyer who was under investigations to do with the Clinton foundation. Halyna Hutchins had posted on twitter or Instagram.
I have information on Hilary Clinton that would send her to jail. This was today’s before the shooting.
@Tosh
I read somewhere the dead woman was soon to start work on a documentary about pedophilia in Hollywood.
Like that wouldn’t get one assassinated!
its always the devil/god who uses the
weakness + arogance of humans to
humilate them !
and likes to give them conflicts .
This article to me is total BS and designed to support the official narrative of the shooting. Bawer is a left-wing gay activist and one of the first to propose gay marriage. Most likely just like the total fake Baldwin he is a globalist and totally behind the forced vaccine program. However, my suspicions about the shooting were not raised by Bawer’s drivel here, but by a video a few days after the killing when I watched the Bitchute video of Baldwin allegedly just “before” the killing. Baldwin looks like he has been at a coke party all night and is actually crying while dutifully spouting establishment nonsense that we are in a war which he is a part of fighting against those who are opposing the vaccines. Why before a film shooting would he look so puffy and coked or boozed out, and be so teary eyed in taking about the vaccines?
ALEC BALDWIN OFF HIS FACE JUST BEFORE THE SHOOTING
https://www.bitchute.com/video/LCS1K44dg9EY/
It would be interesting to know if the late camera person Halyna Hutchins had different political views from the hothead Baldwin over the entire Covid scam and the forced vaccine issue. More importantly one wonders how much help Baldwin got from the “authorities” in all of this with his money, and exactly what time Hutchins died. We have to remember that there is no justice these days. Those people on the Baldwin side of the fence can do anything they want to us and are totally protected by the “authorities”. That fact is proven by the forced vaccination program.
Baldwin. I have not yet looked him up to see if he is a Jew, but after reading the above, that’s where I’m going next.
And whatever the case, how much longer are we going to live with the usual double-standards?
Those responsible — including Baldwin — need to be *held* responsible.
He’s got a daughter called ‘Ireland’? What a twat. Oh, and a murderer.
I should say anyone that has anything to do with this idiot is a fool. He claims to be anti gun but he makes a movie with guns? There are numerous stories from supposedly reputable sources of him being a major perv – even from his wife – and he’s abusive to just about everyone who knows him. And yet people keep saying ‘he’s a good actor’ — oh well, in that case just shoot whoever you want, it’s ok by us.
Wow, Kim spills some beans.
That’s easily believable when linked to ‘Julie’wood & torPAEDO activities.
Then the double whammy, this oft mentioned Clinton connection, concerning the deceased’s husband.
What Irony,
That would make a cracking story line for a film.
Most movies are idiotic garbage, very few have any intellectual/artistic value…A couple that do are ‘Fire Over Rome’ (1965). It’s about Nero & the ‘persecution of the Christians’. There’s a good speech by a Roman Senator, where he describes how this alien deranged Christian creed will vitiate & destroy the Empire…
And ‘That Championship Season’ (1999) which has a great line:
‘Never forget Marx was a Jew. Jews will ruin the country.’
Chris Powiis, you are welcome to your opinion. I find Ben Fulford entertaining but Tony Blair diabolical. He clearly sold his soul to the devil a long time ago.
Not surprised at all.. A typical “celebrity” from Pedowood !
Hang the murdering leftard subversive, but not before dragging him around the streets by his ankles, giving him a thorough horse-whipping, and letting hobos use him as a public urinal. Baldwin is, and always was, a hack and a sack of pig vomit.
If the Basinger story is true about Baldwin wanting to swap his kid in a pedophilia ring, then toss him in a prison first in general population and spread the word he is a child molester and offered his own child to be raped by other cho-mos. The convicts would beat the ever living shit out of him on the daily and turn his poop-chute into a 55-gallon drum.
I think that the director of “Rust,” Joel Souza should be looked at more closely. The first live broadcasts, filmed from the scene of the tragedy, spoke in grave tones about the seriousness of Souza’s injuries. It was reported that they were life-threatening. The precise nature and extent of his injuries was not revealed, however.
Either through indiscretion or by device, the actress Frances Fischer, a friend of Joel Souza, tweeted on the morning after the event that, “Joel was released hours ago from hospital.” The time of her tweet is given as 8.44 am. So Souza was allowed to go home by doctors at Santa Fe hospital, “hours” before 8.44 am the following day. How many hours? I don’t know if that information’s known as yet but at least, Francis Fischer’s tweet would have brought some reassurance to those who may have been concerned for Souza’s health. His injuries were not life-threatening, after all. We still didn’t know exactly what his injuries were, though.
That information wasn’t revealed until the 25th of October, when details emerged from police affadavits, in petition for the issuance of two search warrants. The first, was to search and, confiscate such items as necessary, from the location of the film set and the second, was to search Alec Baldwin’s place of residence. In each case the affiate was Detective Joel Cano of the Santa Fe County Sherrif’s Office, Criminal Investigation Division.
The first officer attending to the incident, after it had been reported to the police, was Detective Nicholas LaFleur, who “advised [Cano] that one female had been shot in the chest and one male was shot in the shoulder area.” In his affadavit, Cano proceeds to cite the testimony of camera assistant, Reid Russell, who told him that the “bullet had gone through and through Hutchins before striking Souza.” Halyna Hutchins was taken by air ambulance helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where she later died.
Souza, apparently, was strong enough to endure the wait for the arrival of an ambulance by road, to take him to a hospital in Santa Fe. The course of action is suggestive of a minor injury, where the wound can be easily stanched. However, it seems that the bullet that killed Halyna Hutchins, or part of it, lodged deeply into Souza’s shoulder.
It’s mentioned at the outset of the affadavit that, as yet, the Sheriff’s Office was unable to present any forensic evidence. Detective Cano reported that a bullet had been removed from Joel Souza’s shoulder and that he [Cano] was waiting for the forensic report to be delivered. The Detective suggested that the forensic details would likely prove very helpful to the police, in their efforts to get the truth of things.
Cano goes on, to further testify, that he questioned Joel Souza at the director’s home on the day following the shooting, the 22nd of October. Cano stated, “upon making contact [with Souza] I did observe a visible injury to the right shoulder.”
Souza, while being interviewed and seemingly in mitigation of any part he may have played, swore that a full three people had handled the gun on set; attending to the usual safety protocols. Souza included Alec Baldwin in his count of three; to add to the list of assistant director, David Halls and armourer, Hannah Guttierrez-Reed. This doesn’t square with the practice for ensuring gun safety on a film set, as illustrated above by Bruce Bawer. The “Rust” set was lax about or worse, recklessly aloof, to personnel safety. Especially given the reputation for incompetence of David Halls and the exhibitionist immaturity of the young armourer.
Joel Souza’s role is central to all this, yet his involvement has hardly been touched upon. I wonder why? It can’t be a matter of allowing him to recuperate because Souza wasn’t that badly injured. It must taken that the surgery, necessitated by his wound, was fully successful. I would assume also that the surgery was performed on the same day as the shooting, immediately upon Souza’s arrival at the hospital. He seems a hardy fellow, though, and was fit enough to leave the hospital, just a few hours, after surgery.
I have a question for American truthseekers, whom I think might have more discernment in these matters – is the given sequence of events credible? Can you be shot through the shoulder (albeit by a bullet that has lost velocity) then have the bullet removed surgically and be well enough to go home, no more than a few hours later?
I guess you’d probably say something like, it would depend on a number of different factors and not knowing how grievous his injury was in the first place, nothing can be said for sure. Perhaps you won’t though.
I would ask the question: was Joel Souza really injured? There aren’t any photos of gunshot-victim Souza, either from the film set, or upon arrival at, or departure from, the hospital and although Souza released a public statement, no new photographic attachments were forthcoming. That isn’t what I’d expect, necessarily. Souza has Hollywood pedigree. I wouldn’t stretch it but people of Souza’s ilk, would surely be expecting a photo-spread of the recuperating director?
Souza in his pyjamas, perhaps, with a hot water bottle on his lap and a jauntily angled thermometer protruding from his lips and oh! his poorly shoulder, all dressed up in bandages, and upon cue – a feint of a countenance of sorrow as the shutter whirrs.
The cameras on set, apparently, hadn’t been loaded because it was just a rehearsal, Souza told Cano. No evidence there then, though Cano mentions some confiscated cell phones taken from crew members present. The actual killing took place in a church. I couldn’t tell from the various reports whether or not this was a church constructed as part of the film set. I think it probably was. Either way, Souza volunteered this detail in an otherwise rather perfunctory and superficial interview with Cano. This might also give some credence to the claim made in the last article covering this subject (by Henry Makow) that the entire affair was a Satanic ritual murder.
I identified Guttierez as a crypto-jewish name in a comment at the other article and Joel Souza is a Sephardic jew. I now know that the name Halls (the assistant director’s surname) is a usurped barony of crypto-jewish line; that the Baldwin family are tied to the same Scottish dynastic house. So are the Russells. Reid Russell was the camera assistant who featured prominently in Detective Cano’s affadavit. Notice also that the young gothic armourer shares the surname, Reed, though variantly spelled.
Are all of the major players here linked by ancestral family ties, (barring the deceased)? Certainly, they appear to be. Or is it just that I’ve been reading too much Miles Mathis?
I propose that Joel Souza wasn’t injured in the shooting. That, in fact, he was a central player in the charade, both in the legal sense, as the film’s director, and as the facilitator and sponsor of the killing.
With skilled make-up artists and prosthetics aces at his behest, he was driven by freemasonic paramedics to a predetermined hospital location where freemasonic doctors signed off on some pre-written medical reports and, though, his devices fooled one, perhaps two, police officers, the authenticity of his wound might look a little shakey on film.
There’s a b-movie garrishness to all of this. Not to mention the plot formulaics.
The murderer gets away with it in the end. He pretends to be an actor wearing clown make-up. Nobody doubts him.
In Athens, Thespis weeps.
You lye down with dirty dogs you get flees and this story is riddled with flees & scum. Just like Hellyweird itself. He’s scum of the earth that Baldwin asshole he’s just a puppet on a very tight string taking the heat for a very corrupt industry filled with illusion murder satanism and pedos. This story has many levels. I feel for the boy who lost his Mother. All the rest can rot in Hellyweird for all I care. BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN 🔥
It’s pretty obvious to me he knew it was a real gun and he and several other Kosher-wood (pedo central) twits shot cans with it between “shoots” – hey pretty good name.
In fact, it’s painfully obvious and painfully obvious that he is no doubt a class A drunk.
I can’t blame him too much for his hot-heatedness, since I have to hire and fire Californians (love of christ !) on a monthly basis. We’re talking emotional wrecks here, with zero work ethic, married at 18 kid by 20 divorced by 24. We’re talking “this side up” on the coke bottle.
But yes, he belongs in prison for at least 20 years, and yes, he will be a free man.
