Not to worry, Arec has a young Fall Gal to take the rap for him.

Still, it's pleasing to imagine Baldwin in a maximum security general population setting.

[saying he cocked the revolver but never pulled the trigger]

As someone said, he could have slip-fired the weapon

But where would Saturday Night Liberals get their next jerk to denigrate President Trump with constant falsehoods? (oh, never mind)

Sometimes the process is the punishment. Now he has to have this worry over him, spend money and time with lawyers. Watch what he says. Get processed by the jail.

The GOP needs to learn this and do it to any democrat that supports biden and is in a position of power (like judges). It’s what the democrats did to trump.

She's more than just a fall gal. It was her literal job to ensure all firearms on set were safe. And this was her very first gig as head armorer on a film. (Her father is a famous Hollywood armorer which is probably how she got the gig.)

The problem on Rust was that with the budget being so small, they had the Armorer pull double duty as the Property Master, so she was elsewhere that day taking care of regular props, not babysitting the firearms.

And that decision to make Hannah pull double duty falls squarely on the producer, who was? Oh yeah, Arec Bawin.

Gutierrez-Reed said she checked the rounds she loaded in the revolver were dummies before handing it to first assistant director Dave Halls.

This is different to articles that were written when the shooting happened. Some articles suggested she wasn't allowed inside, so she left the gun on a cart outside the door of the church..

Baldwin showed criminal disregard for safety

when a revolver he was rehearsing with fired a live round that killed Hutchins.

The revolver didn't fire the round...Baldwin did.

There is no way on earth that Baldwin did not know gun safety
. He’s worked with guns and weapons specialists on dozens of films and movies. There is no way a live round gets in there unless someone put it in there on purpose. The armorer wouldnt do it on purpose.norhing to gain and everything to lose. Everything points to Baldwin. Find the motive for killing her and you’ll find why he did it If this were any situation except a rich and powerful actor they’d be rotting in jail

Movies are make believe. The director yelled “cold gun”, and Baldwin the actor was entitled to believe him.

The one role he had that may expose him to criminal guilt is as producer. He apparently hired an an incompetent and inexperienced armorer to save money, and as a result it is reasonable for him to share in her obvious guilt.

Alec says it was not his job to check the gun.
He sounds like some of the old union members I once worked with.
“It ain’t my job man.”

I don’t agree with charging Baldwin

Charge armorer etc with negligent homicide

Prosecutors always overcharge hope for some glue on some of them

As one astute prior service Marine aptly put it months ago, “if Baldwin was getting ready to rehearse an in-the-mouth suicide scene, he would have checked the pistol.”

I tend to agree.

One aspect of this that bothers me, is that a scene was not
being filmed when Baldwin shot and killed the
cinematographer, not an actor (meaning he didn’t need to
be aiming at anyone. Baldwin was rehearsing/practicing.

The impression I came away with, shortly after it happened, was that the cinematographer that was killed, had words with
him earlier in the day. Was he just playing around trying
to joke with or intimidate the cinematographer? That’s
anyone’s guess.

There was no need to point that gun at anyone at that time.
I would argue that with the proper camera angle guns would
hardly ever, perhaps never, have to aimed at a human at any
point in the filming process.

At a 90 degree camera position, you could be aiming 18
inches off center, and the longer the distance the smaller
the angle to accomplish that, would be.

You would see a hand extended with the gun going off
appearing to be aimed straight to the target.
