Crime Charges Re-Filed against Alec Baldwin in 'Rust' Shooting. (Update: Armorer's Trial Started)

HereticBD said:
Yeah, it was amateur hour shit, and I think the "safety" gal they hired, was out of her depth. She was very young, and apparently some nepo baby of that particular industry, as her dad was apparently one of go to gun safety inspectors the industry used a lot.

Baldwin is one cold motherfucker, though. Could you imagine accidentally shooting someone at point blank range, watching them die, and then do TV interviews like a few weeks later trying to blame it on everyone else? I'd be a fucking basket case, and the only interviews I'd be doing are ones with the investigators. That was such a bad look on his part.

Good post. Did he rely deny firing the gun? Who the fuck did he think was going to wear that if not him?

He hasn't gone to trial yet.

He should be held civilly liable due to severe neglect. But there was no intent, so no murder. Manslaughter at best... shakey though.

But was there a law that was actually broken? I can't say. Just a horrible accident to due severe incompetence, negligence and not following safety protocols.

Plaster him with a massive settlement to the victim's family.

I'm not a fan of the guy's politics... but I don't think he's a bad guy. Maybe a goofball lefty at times.

I mean if youre “goofing” around at work unsafely and you kill a coworker that’s manslaughter? I guess that’s how they’re looking at it? Maybe?

Yes… that’s why I think he’s more civically liable instead of criminal

It was a great stand alone scene, and Baldwin was terrific...but that movie was so much Jack Lemmon's masterpiece of a performance. He's not an actor from my era and I don't even know if I've seen him in more than a few other things, but his desperation in that movie was palpable. One of the most convincing performances I can remember.

Jack Lemmon is one of the greatest of all time.

"John Uhler Lemmon III (February 8, 1925 – June 27, 2001) was an American actor, musician, producer, director and comedian. Considered equally proficient in both dramatic and comic roles, Lemmon was known for his anxious, middle-class everyman screen persona in dramedy pictures,[1] leading The Guardian to label him as "the most successful tragi-comedian of his age."[2]

He starred in over sixty films and was nominated for an Academy Award eight times, winning twice, and received many other accolades, including six Golden Globe Awards (counting the honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award), two Cannes Film Festival Awards, two Volpi Cups, one Silver Bear, three BAFTA Awards, and two Emmy Awards. In 1988, he was awarded the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the American cinema."

You should see Some Like it Hot if you ever have the chance. Ditto the Odd Couple. Also Grumpy Old Men for that matter. Classics all. And oh shit! I forgot China Syndrome. So yeah, watch all of them if you like Lemmon. He won awards of one sort or another for all of them I think.

lol big stretch there, amigo. but I get you. (nice boxeo reference)
Lemmon legend, you forgot Save The Tiger. Tour de Force IMO.
Difficult for some, like myself, to separate the shitbag that Baldwin is in person from his on screen persona, which admittedly, is absolutely first rate.

Indeed. Please see my post above.

Seen Grumpy Old Men with him and Matthau. Great stuff. I know Lemmon is a legend, just have never been super into older movies. But you're right, I should probably check out some of his other stuff.

Purportedly, the crew was plinking with the prop guns after-hours and off the set. When returning the guns to the set, the live rounds were brought back and commingled with the dummy rounds and blanks.

This has always seemed like the most likely scenario. We know there were shots fired with live rounds, and there are claims that there was some coke being hidden after the shooting. So it tracks.

‘Rust’ Prosecutors Allege Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Brought Live Ammunition Onto Set

The criminal trial for “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is scheduled to begin next month after being delayed from December 2023. The rookie armorer is facing two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She has also been...

That’s the armorer?!

That’s a firearms expert if I’ve ever seen one.

Whoever hired her is the real criminal here.

That's part of the reason that Baldwin is being charged. As the producer, he cut corners and hired an unproven armorer who was the daughter of the guy they should've hired but didn't want to pay for.

She's a nepo baby. Her dad is Thell Reed, and he's a renowned firearms expert in the industry. He was also a legit shootist and stuntman. In other words, he knows his shit and has decades of experience. His daughter looks like she's spent more time protesting guns, than working with them. When your firearms "expert" can't tell the difference between dummy rounds and live rounds(live rounds that should not even be on set, let alone brought in by said "expert"), and just loads the gun up for you to use anyways, it's safe to say that she didn't have a fucking clue about much in her field, and was just there because of Daddy's influence.
