Yeah. But wouldn't the director herself be partially responsible for contributory negligence if she instructed actor to do so? Further, director knew of the safety problems on set and chose to remain.
The director did not instruct Alec Baldwin to shoot at Helena Hutchins. Are you insane? Where are using reading that?
Alec has been proposing that Helena Hutchins is the one who told him to aim the camera at her and pull the hammer back. Which is also an insane presupposition.
So you don't have a source? Well I can assure you, wherever you read that, it was not credible.
After all, NO GUNS were to be used while in the absence of the armorer for ANY scene. Therefore even I the wild scenario that they were "practicing a scene" (even though cameras weren't even rolling), the fact that they used a firearm without the armorer's presence shows complete and utter disregard for even the most basic level of gun safety on a movie set.
I get that. I also read the assistant director took the gun and walked it over to alec baldwin. Ultimate gun safety would require hannah then to walk the gun to the actor to prevent any switching of bullets into the chamber during the walk AND for any other guns to be under lock and key so no one could tamper with remaining weapons and bullets during the transfer of weapons. However, I do believe defendants will rightfully argue that all crew accepted some level of responsibility for remaining on a set that exhibited repeated gun safety violations because they all knew someone could get killed by the gross lack of gun safety previously having previously occurred on this set. Everyone witnessed a walk out due to safety. It was a buyer's beware situation after that point and a proceed at your own risk type deal then. It was the same risk walking onto a firing range or war zone with no rules. How could any adult justify remaining with no responsibility for their own lack of self care?
I'm not sure who's side you're arguing for now, but Hannah Gutierrez Reed (the armorer) is suing Alec Baldwin so she is NOT accepting responsibility for the tragedy.
bottom line the mfer pointed the gun and pulled the trigger without following any basic gun safety or common sense ....done...nuff said
Lol he claims he never pulled the trigger. Only that he pulled the hammer back. Can you believe this fucking guy?
Yeah. But wouldn't the director herself be partially responsible for contributory negligence if she instructed actor to do so? Further, director knew of the safety problems on set and chose to remain.
if i told you to jump off out of a plane without a parachute...would ya??? :)
No. But the crew was rushed. tired. And everyone was trying to finish on a shoestring budget. The director told an actor to shoot at her. He complied.
there is no excuse for not following basic gun safety...i was a range training officer for over 25 years....no excuse......

I read it somewhere. And a new director might give such instruction thinking it will provide a dramatic shot if audience looking down gun barrel.
