I do not like Baldwin, but I think this case is BS. He was filming a scene when he fired the gun. He obviously thought there were blanks in the gun. There was a person hired to check the safety of the guns. So, when the director says “action,” is Baldwin supposed to say “stop,” let’s recheck the gun? BTW, wouldn’t the director who got killed have a duty to check the gun, too? We have a word for what happened here—NEGLIGENCE. Not criminal negligence, but civil negligence.
Everting was NOT filming a scene. He was rehearsing. He chose to point it at the victim and fire the weapon. He’s a killer
This must be the first thread on this you have seen if you are starting totally from scratch.
I can buy that. He hires technicians to ensure the weaponry are safe to use on the set.
But it was he who was responsible for hiring these evidently unqualified people.
Maybe a case of an DEI hire to score points with BlackRock or similar?
Just to be accurate, they weren't filming a scene; they were rehearsing it and planned to film it the next day.
