+1 She was clearly too young and inexperienced and possibly inattentive. |
On a movie set? Yes. |
Stop making excuses for her because of her age. She is a mature adult who took a job which she applied for and presumably was trained to perform. While I suspect Baldwin and his foul temperament was difficult to work with and that would be challenging for a young person, she had a job to do and for whatever reason did not do it. If I were the victim's family this girl would be where all my anger would be and I am no fan of Alex Baldwin. This was her responsibility, period. |
The one against Baldwin isn’t very convincing if, as has been described, it was very common to take the armorer’s or assistant director’s word for a gun being cold in general and on that set. I just don’t see how you get to gross negligence. |
Being racist used to be normal. Using guns without proper training may be normal on set, but that doesn't make it right. You kill someone, you're responsible. Also it would feel heavier with bullets |
Baldwin did not do himself any favors with his public statement that he did not feel any guilt. I guess he didn't want to incriminate himself, but it made him look like a heartless bastard with no remorse for something he did do, even if it was accidentally. At least the armorer showed the appropriate emotions, whereas Baldwin just seems to focus on himself. |
| From what I understand, the armorer wasn’t even there. |
he was distracted with calls from home. Hilaria was posting to insta like crazy. pink wigs, nights out with guy friends, etc. All this with 6 kids at home. I am no big fan of Alec, but I do think he has his hands full at home. And I am not talking about the kids. Oh, and FYP🥒 |
which is why responsible adults think about the possible consequences of choices they make |
PP here. Not trying to make excuses for her. I think she's the responsible one but also think she shouldn't have been hired in the first place for the reasons I stated. |
| Who brought live rounds and put them in the gun? |
|
Interesting that Keanu trains with guns and live ammo and never shot nor killed anyone!
But a well-known jerk who we all would imagine fake shooting for fun, did kill someone and now he is crying wolf. |
There are a lot of jerks in Hollywood. Hall is one of them. He should be in jail. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/24/entertainment/rust-shooting-assistant-director-halls-complaints/index.html |

I thought I read that crew were shooting cans/target practice bc they were bored. and those bullets got mixed up with the movies.
As a 30 Rock and SNL fan, I do have a soft spot for Alec. And I do think his kids need him in their life. Heavily fined, no jail And the victim's family should be very well compensated. His wife is nuts and will be the downfall of all of them. |
Hey, I remember that Hexum fella! I watched the show as a teen and then he killed himself bcs he was an idiot. |
