I have absolutely nothing good to say about Baldwin.
Attachment 88038
Gabby Petito/Brian Laundrie panned out. No more manhunt, the public's interest was gone a long time ago.
SQUIRREL!
Its being reported that it was one of three firearms on a cart & it contained live rounds, then taken off the cart by assistant director & handed to Baldwin who then shot the cinematographer. Sounds like quite a few people were negligent or were at a minimum, complacent about firearm safety, staging & handling.

If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
This situation sucks, but I certainly don't feel bad for an asshole who has made millions from glorifying gun violence all while trying to get guns banned for us peasants. Alec Baldwin? Fuck that guy.
I read it was the first time for the girl in charge of the guns on set. Prop master or armorer or something like that. I can't find a link to the article.
The armorer is the daughter of Thell Reed-well known long time competitive shooter and original member of the South Western Combat Pistol League as well as an advisor to Hollywood for many years on the use of firearms. Hannah Guitierrez-Reed, 24 yrs old. Allegedly she brought live ammo to the set to shoot during down time. Now she's being quoted as saying she almost didn't take the job, wasn't sure if she was ready.
The armorer is the one ultimately responsible on a movie set for the handling/use/storage of any/all firearms.

I have some familiarity with the film industry. As a kid I worked on few productions when I lived in Tucson. My brother spent 30 years as a member of IATSE, set/special effects, then later as business manager-he was the one that would negotiate the contract on tv and film productions.
How many times have any of us seen shows/films where a gun is pointed directly at the camera and fired? Typically the crew-director of photography/cinematographer, camera assistant (if there is one), director are behind a clear blast shield to protect them from the debris of the blank being fired. Not unusual at all. A truly sad, tragic event.
Michael Massee, the actor that killed Brandon Lee, lived with the deepest regret and suffered nightmares the rest of his life until passing from cancer in 2016.
Terrible incident.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy.

From a stunt performer on the set:
?For those of you industry and non industry friends following this story. I unfortunately have some first hand insight. 😞
My thoughts are regret that I didn't say something earlier when I worked for this production company -Thomasville Pictures- in Feburary as a Thomasville Local.
When I and multiple department heads including the prop master expressed shock for safety issues and poor planning concerning the very basics of set safety and common sense to multiple producers and were dismissed or just outright taken off the department head meeting schedule (no pay) or off the days shoot entirely.
1. This was totally avoidable. There are safety protocols in place, which is why this tragedy is so rare. Non industry but Thomasville friends... think Union Job.
2. I worked for this production company #ThomasvillePictures as a SAG Aftra stunt coordinator this year. I raised safety concerns during my employment. That was my job. I was not asked to be a part of their future projects.
I had to educate producers on blanks, Class C explosives licence for SPFX department head, and numerous other concerns from car hits to any other type of crap you could think of. They had no idea what they were doing. I wouldn't let them around a horse none the less a gun. They dont know how to make the movies they are making.
3. This was a real gun and real bullet on set. Unforgivable.
4. The gun was taken for target practice by the propmasters daughter before filming. Ridiculous.
5. The gun was not checked on set. Insane.
6. The producers hired non union crew to film that day when their crew walked out for safety concerns the day before. That's when filming should have stopped.
7. There is a difference between a prop master and an armorer for a reason. They know better. Because I told them in Feburary.
8. The producers are responsible and ultimately negligent for hiring non union workers and not checking their work. Manslaughter.
9. Alec Baldwin is a union actor and the senior producer on the film Rust. He is the boss.
10. Thomasville Pictures is an unsafe production company. They cut corners and didnt hire union professionals. Thomasville let's them do everything for free. They got someone killed and should never be allowed to make movies again.
11. The prop master of the film One Way walked off of set for safety concers.
Just like this movie. Foreshadowing
How many people need to walk off a movie set or say they feel unsafe before a producer will listen?
Send your thoughts and prayers to the families of Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza not the producers of this film.
It's not an accident. Its negligence. They don?t know what they are doing. Everyone should claim responsibility for their incompetence instead of filming a western when they dont even know basic set or weapon safety.
The best outcome is that these producers aren't allowed to make anymore movies and send every $ they saved being cheap to the child of Halyna Hutchins.?
