Like "Speed Cars"?
I agree with you 100% and I want to be clear I was NOT burning him down one bit as a liberal, anti-gun POS. As said before it doesn't matter to me who puled the trigger, heck it could have been God but he who did is guilty plain as day and should be in jail awaiting execution right now. There is no who-done-it, where's the gun or no witnesses. It's ALL there right in front of the whole world, get on with it.
Not with a prop...
With all due respect @Tank. A firearm is a firearm and needs to be treated like a firearm even if it is not a firearm. A big reason my children never had fake firearms to play with as youngsters. Even prop guns are lethal.
I'm a little confused here...the weapon was most likely a revolver. After the incident, and before the police arrive, the armorer "removed the shell casing"...SANTA FE, N.M. — As a film crew and actors in Western garb prepared to rehearse a scene inside a wooden, chapel-like building on a desert movie ranch outside Santa Fe, assistant director Dave Halls stepped outside and grabbed a prop gun off a cart.
He walked back in and handed it to the film's star, Alec Baldwin, assuring him it was safe to use because it didn't have live ammo, according to police.
"Cold gun," Halls yelled, according to court records made public Friday.
It wasn't. Instead, when Baldwin pulled the trigger Thursday, he killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her.
The tragedy came nearly three decades after Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, died in a similar case, and it prompted horrified questions about how it could have happened again. The executive producer of ABC's police drama "The Rookie" announced Friday the show would no longer use "live" weapons because the "safety of our cast and crew is too important."
Details of the shooting at the ranch on Bonanza Creek Road were included in a search warrant application filed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office. Investigators were seeking to examine Baldwin's blood-stained costume for the film "Rust," as well as the weapon that was fired, other prop guns and ammunition, and any footage that might exist.
The gun was one of three that the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being acted, according to the records. Halls grabbed the gun from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the search warrant application.
It was unclear how many rounds were fired. Gutierrez removed a shell casing from the gun after the shooting, and she turned the weapon over to police when they arrived, the court records say.
Baldwin was told gun was 'cold' before movie set shooting, police say
An assistant director unwittingly handed Alec Baldwin a loaded weapon and told him it was safe to use in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer, court records released Friday show.www.ksl.com
Wasn't too long ago he advocated killing Republican members of congress then hunting down and killing their family members. He's a fucking sub human piece of shit.
No argument from me there at all. But that’s not the way Hollywood sees it or treats it (outside of legit prop / weapon managers). Hollywood’s ignorance of weapons is to their detriment in these cases.
Correct,all of it rehearsed,in front of a camera with a microphone in his hand.
I felt bad and called him and told him he could come back to work but had to have a "Stanley" tape measure not "harbor freight"
The difference in this case is that the sheriff's deputies were on site quickly, and a search warrant was obtained before a couple of hours had passed.
The news would hound people for film of a drugged up thief being shot, and try to justify film of cops being shot...a Hollywood person killing someone? That film may be with Hoffa.
Same here Tank with ALL respect, the last person to touch the gun is the responsible person, that would be Baldwin. One of the first rules of gun safety. If he did not clear the gun or press check it for live, hot, he is the one and only person who fucked up. I don't care who you are. If he had NO idea of gun safety, why did he handle the gun???????????
I understand your sentiment (as well as the others on here saying the same thing) but I think it’s unrealistic. Their has to be trust in the industry that the people around you are doing their job. The professional in charge of the gun you’re using in a scene has made sure it’s safe. The professional in charge of the car that you’re driving in a technical scene has made sure that it’s safe. The professional handing you the sugar glass bottle that you’re using to break over someone’s head in the scene has assured it’s not a real bottle. The professional in charge of setting up the padding for a fall has placed the proper padding for when you push your fellow actor off a ledge for a scene. Take away douchey Baldwin abs put in joe nobody actor. An actor can’t be response for every safety aspect of a production that’s specifically why you hire safety professionals. I mean I’d like for him to hang for it because I he’s such an idiot. But I don’t personally believe the liability of filming a scene the way it’s supposed to be filmed is on him as an actor. As an on scene producer that knew of the prior safety issues? yes. As joe blow actor? No. Just the way i see it.
yep I was watching a old west horse and gun event where they rode past balloons on targets to shoot while being timed, they only used blanks to shoot the balloons. So the worked pretty good from 10 feet or so.
This is kind of what i was reffering too
Sorry Dan, but you know being a gun owner, that is a pile of garbage. Manuel hands Pedro a shovel, Pedro hits Charlie over the head with it and it's Manuel's fault??????????????????????
Sadly, the scapegoat will ultimately end up being the 24 yo Armorer girl.....whether she did anything wrong or not.
