Alec Baldwin responded after a Trump impersonator made a controversial remark about Halyna Hutchins, the late cinematographer tragically killed on the set of “Rust.” Baldwin, involved in the incident, expressed his frustration over the comment, threatening to “snap” his neck in half. Baldwin continues to defend his actions in the controversial incident.
Baldwin violently threatened a Trump impersonator in New York City this week after the performer accused him of “murdering” Hutchins.
“Well, Alec, if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood – you can call it first degree, you can call it whatever you want, but it was not good,” the Trump impersonator said. “She’s looking down on me right now, smiling, happy.”
However, Baldwin clearly did not appreciate the accusations, threatening to “snap” his “f*cking neck” if there were no cameras or people around.
Alex Baldwin threatening to kill someone should be taken seriously…

The impersonator quickly backed off, acknowledging Baldwin for his courage in confronting him, unlike actor Robert De Niro, who has been reportedly accused of evading a similar confrontation.
The actor was involved in the criminal trial that followed Hutchin’s death for involuntary manslaughter. However, a judge dismissed the case last summer, citing a lack of evidence the prosecution withheld.
While Baldwin walks free, the movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, is currently in the middle of an 18-month prison sentence for loading a live bullet in the gun that Baldwin fired.
Talking like someone who got away with murder.....

Well in Alec's defense, when you get away with murder, I imagine you get to think you can literally do anything.
