“Even though he’s a liberal gun-control douchebag I still feel bad for the guy.”
I don’t. He broke every rule of firearms safety in the book AND a whole bunch of movie set safety rules. He fired the Union Armorer and replaced that person with an inexperienced 24 year old girl.
Baldwin is the producer of this dreck and as such he bears personal responsibility for everything that happens on the set.
Want to feel bad for someone? Feel bad for the dead woman and her family.
I hope Baldwin ends up bankrupt and in prison.

Where did you read that Hannah Gutierrez was a replacement? My understanding was that workers on the camera crew were the ones replaced.
Right after his testicles get delivered to the photog's husband, in a neat little box.
I hope for better things than that.
amen.
And he is partially responsible for all procedures on the set, and enforcing them, as a member of ‘management’, safety or otherwise.
Hannah Gutierrez was the original Armorer for this production. She had just one job to do. She was incompetent and failed spectacularly at her job.
The Union Camera crews were the people fired and replaced, just a few hours before the incident.
There had been multiple previous incidents of hot guns unexpectedly fired by stunt doubles during filming. The crews were very unhappy with safety procedures on the set. And they were not getting paid on time either.
Looks like they got out just before it all hit the fan.
If the reports are true that the guns were used for live fire target practice by unauthorized crew members, then Hannah Gutierrez will probably face criminal charges. She is the obvious fall guy for the killing.
If the reports are true that Baldwin made intemperate remarks after a take, then deliberately aimed the pistol at the director and pulled the trigger, then he should face criminal charges.
There are supposedly video and audio recordings of the incident. And of course, a dozen or so witnesses. It will be difficult for the lawyers to suppress everything, but they will try.
Baldwin probably won't be indicted. He most certainly will lose big money in the civil suits that are coming.
