Alec Baldwin - Murderer

[aFarewellToKings]

That all goes out the window when Covid protocols are involved. Covid seems to be trumping everything else.

So, another Covid death?

Can they please book him on the View?

Baldwin not only fired the shot he is the producer. So, he is at fault. He set the budget and has the final say in hiring.

He was a writing producer, not an on set producer. There's a difference.

People cutting corners. Happens all the time on set.

Especially when using non-union workers.

He had a gun with a bullet.
The person the does the shooting is responsible for the gun. Period.

Actually from my 14 years of film experience, production is usually the ones cutting corners and skipping steps. The stage hands are the ones who die and get maimed because of the choices made by the people in charge.

I agree, but movie sets don't operate the same as the regular world. I don't make the rules and safety guidelines, I just ensure I properly handle the firearms and stunts I'm in charge of. What we all know as common firearms sense, doesn't exist in the movie world.

I agree, it's typically the production staff. I've stopped scenes that presented blatant a danger and they were oblivious too it. I always give a safety brief at the beginning of the day and before any stunts. Although, I have seen some inexperienced stage hands doing questionable stuff and immediately pull them aside.
