[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you saying it was reckless to point the gun in rehearsal, that’s ridiculous. These are actors and professionals who have filmed many movies and worked on many plays where guns were handled appropriately and safely.  Why would they think this one would be any different. I dislike Baldwin and think he’s an ass but this was clearly someone else’s critical error.  Very sad for Halyna Hutchins’ family.[/quote]

+1.  If the armored in fact put a live cartridge in the gun, that was gross negligence and misconduct and maybe criminal.  There were then probably some other mistakes in that it appears that proper procedure was to have multiple checks in place which maybe didn’t happen due to a combination of covid protocols and cheap producers who fired the union workers after they complained about the long hours.  I feel bad for the assistant director who probably had no idea what the right safety protocols were and was likely asked to do someone else’s job without knowing what was involved.
This is one reason why stars often won’t work when IATSE strikes—both union solidarity and knowing that bad things happen when they bring in they don’t have the right professionals in place.  Usually those bad things are more in the nature of the lighting being unflattering, though.  [/quote]
