Alec Baldwin And Death on the RUST Set

[Harmonica]

I had not read that the gun gal put a live round in it. What is the story on that? How does an "Armorer" mistake a live round for a blank? That also smells fishy.

....humans make mistakes all the time
....is it true in this case? I don't know

And what makes me furious, is Baldwin REFUSED firearms safety training. They have an e-mail chain proving it. Maybe then, he would know that if someone hands you a firearm, and claims its safe, you don't trust them and check yourself.

...also the people who ''hate'' firearms or are ''scared'' of them should ''naturally'' know or have the common sense/brains to know not to point it anyone--even if they have not touched one
...so, they, and Baldwin, can't claim ignorance of the law, laws of physics, etc
--even if they are non-firing!
..they can't write laws, handbooks, for every situation--these are really ''guides'', guidebooks....we have to use common sense and reason for interpretation, etc

There is far more to this story than we will ever know.

The truth in this case will probably never be known.

What I DO know is that is it was any of us in Mr. Baldwin's current situation we would probably be still in jail awaiting trial.

The outcome we witnessed was IMHO hardly unexpected.

He set up......

...along with his production crew, an unsafe work environment with unqualified people. This resulted in a fatal accident. That's where I think the blame lies. The armorer is a 'fall girl' for the producers on the show.
