Rust trial: Armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was 'sloppy' before Alec Baldwin gun fired

(As always I urge people not to click on BBC links as the BBC is not a credible or trustworthy source)

Ultimately, Alec Baldwin is the darling of liberal Hollywood and therefore can't be culpable for this mess - despite being primarily and obviously to blame for it from beginning to end.



Alec Baldwin employed Reed despite knowing that she was unqualified and inexperienced. He's producer and ultimately responsible for what happens on set. If you are making a movie that involves a lot of guns and gunplay and you employ someone incompetent in such a key role - it's your fault.

Alec Baldwin ultimately picked up a gun without knowing what was in it, and knowing that it was a real gun (not a fake gun - and the term "prop" as his team have repeatedly used means that it was part of a movie inventory - not that it wasn't a real gun), he pointed it at a member of the crew and he pulled the trigger - when there was no need to do so.

Alec Baldwin lied about this from beginning to end.

The husband of the deceased cinematographer has suddenly become an executive producer on the movie.

This is Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The same people that tell you guns are bad and nobody should have them - at the same time as making money from movies about people with guns, and actually killing people with them.

Why exactly? He should have checked, and not fired, the gun but it is literally the womans job to make it safe and ensure the correct ammunition is n it. Why she would be playing with live/dud ammo at the same time is staggering.

Yes, he needs to be held to account for his moronic actions but im curious why you think she isnt somehow equally as guilty considering her actions were what set this whole thing in motion. Simply because she couldn't do her job to even a basic degree

As a matter of interest what source would you use? I do take your point on the bbc, albeit more on an FP/social angle
