It was her job to know.
Yeah, Baldwin fired the shot, but she loaded the gun. If the rule were followed this was preventable.
This will set new precedence for case law. If they can’t prove who loaded the gun, the shooter cannot be charged.
“’Rust’ armorer breaks silence, doesn’t take any responsibility for Alec Baldwin’s fatal shot”
I’m with the babe here, but she’ll take the fall, because Alex is a good liberal. The way I see it, it is up to Alex to prove that the gun pointed itself at victims before he pulled the trigger - if he cannot, then it’s manslaughter.
Baldwin is a big time lib who hates Trump. No way he’ll be charged.
You or I, however, would already be in jail for negligent homicide.
She sounds like the stereotypical millennial idiot. Never taking responsibility for her actions or in this case inactions. Isn’t she directly responsible for checking for live rounds or any rounds in the chamber before giving custody of the weapon to the actor using it for a scene?
Baldwin had an absolute duty to check that chamber the second the gun hit his hand.
Enough waffling.
I think that’s for a judge and jury to decide
Should have hired an NRA member instead of a little airhead moron who failed to check the gun just prior to showcase in the scene.
Typical leftist defense. No one takes responsibility but all are responsible including the shooter for not checking the firearm. One of the few basic firearm handling rules. Not pointing it something you don’t want to kill is another biggie.
Baldwin ignore both those very basic rules. He is culpable as is the armorer and whomever handed him the firearm and whomever was responsible for making sure they were safe to handle. All of them ignored the basics.
I read the guns were left on a cart for two hours?!?
Of course her job was to assess and deliver safety. FAIL.
Bruce Lee’s son was killed in a similar fashion. Hollywood never learns . Infested with so many hot head Communists it is a miracle it has not stacked up more bodies.
When I was in the Navy and we handled something of great value, we had to sign a Chain of Custody list.
Don’t they already have something like that on Movie Sets?
If not, this was an accident literally waiting to happen that could never easily be explained.
Its pretty obvious it was all the guns fault, you right wing nuts.
plenty of negligence, but imo the final outcome the buck stops with baldwin..
would anyone here on FR shoot a gun aim at someone without yourself checking if it was loaded? methinks not, as a former law enforement officer I always checked a weapon handed to me. You think a cop would get a break, well he said it wasn’t loaded? NO
This entire story is unfolding like a “Who (really) Dunnit” Alfred Hitchcock would have written and directed. Except with Hitch, there was usually at least one knock out, blonde, Femme Fatale.
Kim Novack, Tippie Hedren, Janet Leigh are past examples.
It was her job to know whether the gun was loaded, and provide adult supervision. That’s all she had to do.
First, it is not a prop gun. It is a real gun. The person who put a real bullet in the gun and the person who did not check the gun and who pointed the gun at a real person and pulled the trigger are the responsible two. Mostly the blame falls on Alec Baldwin for not checking, pointing the gun at a real person and putting his finger on the trigger. That from an anti-gun person!
