Alec Baldwin (actor/producer) and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed (armorer) failed Hulyna Hutchins (cinematographer) and Joel Souza (director) three times that tragic day: The armorer hired to ensure weapons safety failed them once. The producer/actor who okayed a functioning firearm—and live ammunition for it—to be used and didn’t practice weapons safety failed them twice.
That should warrant severe punishment, IMHO. It looks to me like they won’t get anything close to that.
I agree with everything you said but there are extenuating circumstances for the armorer.
She was hired because the movie’s budget did not allow for a more experienced armorer.
She was more or less hired because of her youth.
She tired numerous times to get Baldwin to come to safety training. He ignored her.
He was the director with the power to fire her.
He was an actor/producer ignoring the armorer’s orders to take safety training.
She could quit and never get another job as armorer or allow Baldwin to do as he liked.
He should go down for man slaughter. She she should get I don’t know but something less.
