imagine dying and the last thing you hear is Alec Baldwin yelling about someone who hasn't been in office for almost a year and then yelling at some intern for letting him shoot you

So the reports coming out now are that the gun had live rounds in it because some members of the crew took the guns out plinking in between takes and didn't empty the chambers before they brought them back on set.
What in the actual ****?!?! https://www.thewrap.com/halyna-hutch...rget-practice/ |

Alec wanted to taste some pistachio-green hair pie and was willing to pay a rate that was nearly 1/2 industry standard. its the only thing that makes sense.
Alec has been calling in a lot of favors to get members of the press to paint Hannah Gutierrez Reed (24) as the responsible party. every single news story blames Hannah. those news stories don't even try to be objective. you can tell the press is setting up Hannah to take the fall because the stories that blame her started on 10/22/21. |

What a ****fest. Nonetheless, whomever they pin the responsibility on for the pre shoot inspection is going to eat shit. All the breaches in safety protocol are still unanswered for other than why the holy ****ing hell is there live ammo on set? |

While I dislike Alec Baldwin, and he should never have pointed a gun on set at anyone, this appears not to be his fault.
The armorer is highly inexperienced. The AD was previously fired for a different gun incident on a set. According to all the reports I've read, Alec was assured the gun was NOT loaded, or loaded with blanks, and was good to go. That said, he should have checked it himself just to be on the safe side. Apparently his aiming of the gun at the camera and pulling the trigger was part of a scene they were filming. All around a horrible, horrible tragedy. If Alec is a decent man he'll shut his mouth about talking about his feelings and try to set up college funds for the woman's kids, pay for the funeral and all travel expenses, and set a fund for the finances of the family for the immediate future. I hope he does the right thing here. And the armorer and AD should never work in film again. https://www.cnn.com/entertainment/li...e5a5fd49b49ed6 Last edited by LongSufferingToady; 10-26-2021 at 12:07 AM.. |

Why do movies use actual operating firearms? I don't get that at all. You could make reproductions really easily, and they might even cost less than the real thing. Add the gun sounds later.

If this is true, he's the least negligent person involved. Sounds like it was just a perfect storm of irresponsibility and dumbassery that resulted in this woman's death.

If you have competent people supervising the weapons it's not a problem. Everybody is making a big deal about this now, but it's exceedingly rare; only one other incident (Lee) going back decades. This was like being struck by lightning while falling off a cliff. It's really not fair to judge all the armorers in the industry over the horribly negligent actions of this crew. |

Wow, it keeps getting more and more inexplicable.
Dude that handed Baldwin the gun got fired from his last film for, what’s that you say? A firearm mistakenly discharging and causing injury? Wow. You’d think that would be a career ender. Or at least a moment for real reflection about job duties. NOPE. let’s take the gun plinking. https://people.com/movies/asst-direc...a2610001afb8da |
