I’m quite aware of who Thell Reed is, watched him shoot in the early days of the South West Combat Pistol League. Hannah is on record saying she may not have been ready for this production. Check the podcast referenced in the earlier linked post. I’m no fan of Baldwin, have been on film sets in my younger days- the ultimate responsibility lies with the armorer. I’ve got nothing more to add to this.
And why was it with the props? Leave the real ammo in your car, your purse ect... don't even bring it on set or in/near the prop toy box.Quote:

I've read a few stories that say the shooting happened off camera or at least not while filming. While Baldwin was goofing around. If that's the case, Baldwin unquestionably has fault. Guess we'll see in the days to come.
One bit of terminology to help clarify things.
PROP does not mean fake, or disabled, or anything like that. PROP means property, as in property of the studio. Now, fake guns, blank only guns, replicas can be "prop" guns, and "real" guns are too.

Last week, Baldwin's stunt double accidentally fired two rounds with a prop firearm after being told it was "cold," an industry term meaning a weapon is not loaded with ammunition, the Los Angeles Times said. At least one employee complained to a production manager about gun safety on set, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed crew members.
That has to be the biggest What The Fuck I've read all year. And we live in a "pandemic".
I certainly hope his life is sustained misery....if not just for the killing of the Lady, but also a hopeful crashing down of his career. I don't think he'll ever produce another film, or be a dick on SNL again. It would be appropriate if his hollywood buddies shunned him as well, but I don't think they will.
His estimated worth is 60M.... I hope he goes broke with settlements and fines, walks out into a swamp and pulls a Laundrie.
That goes against pretty much every rule of safety right there. If Baldwin doesn't have the sense to not point a gun at someone and then pull the trigger, HE'S ultimately responsible for doing so. That is sheer negligence no matter how you slice it. Not saying the armorer or someone else didn't violate safety protocol, but Baldwin is the person who killed that lady. No other. If he hadn't picked up that gun, pointed it someone and then pulled the trigger, that lady would still be alive.Quote:

If that person is not going to act in a responsible manner at all times then death and destruction will happen.
This group of "movie industry" people and specifically one actor(also boss of whole operation) and one "supervisor" did not behave in a responsible manner. Death and destruction happened.
And here it is! Emergency. Gun. Meme. Review.
