I'm actually seriously Wonder if someone purposefully snuck a real loaded round in there to prove a point based on the safety concerns.
In my armchair, non-expert opinion - It’s more likely that the loaded round was deliberate than a mistake….Quote:

Oh, I am definitely not an expert.
Considering the behind the scenes interactions between the crew and the production company sounds to have been quite contentious, I've been thinking the same thing.
Some of you need to read this.

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And Photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.
Thanks to Twitter and Facebook, youare a repeater and reporter of information, both good and bad. It is up to you to apply scrutiny to the information you encounter to avoid passing amplifying the same bad information you hope to filter out.
Always be skeptical.
Why should I trust you to tell me what to do?Quote:

The pistol still should have been checked by the armorer/weapons specialist before that person handed it to the actor, and the AD shouldn’t have handed it to the actor and he shouldn’t have called out “Cold gun” if he didn’t know it for certain.Quote:

It is highly unlikely anyone could have gotten by the weapons specialist to put a bullet in the gun. And sets being severe toxic shitshows where everyone is overworked tired and frustrated is quite common. It's part of the industry. So I don't see an obvious link of crew members quitting to committing murder.
You could blame a couple of people for this but I want to know how a live round finds its way into a movie gun
Was there just one live round or more?
Were people fucking around with it plinking the night before? And they are stupid. Or was it done on purpose
Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are the LAST person on this board that should be talking about weapons safety. Seriously.Quote:

And it sounds like it was only 6 people who actually quit the production - so the headlines stating “movie crew quits over safety concerns” may be misleading in suggesting there was a mass exodus
The notion that this was a setup is pretty preposterous.
Not if you consider the idea that Hillary Clinton was behind itQuote:

I would not be surprised if Baldwin was the one who wanted to find out how it felt to shoot an 1880’s six shooter
You apparently missed the details.. but on a movie set "live round" = a blank (wad), not an actual "round".. They use blanks all the time. But not when there are people up close.Quote:

Is that verified? The pistol shot 45 colt ?
Just to look at it. Big difference between a blank and a Live round
If you were blind you could tell by the weight and length
There is also the likely possibility they were swapping cylinders, had a bunch of them lined up and some idiot had ?? Again how do live 45 colt rounds get anywhere near a movie set. It’s people’s jobs to check that very basic thing
Baldwin's been in literally HUNDREDS of shoots where blanks are used and is fully aware of how dangerous they can be within 50 feet of anyone else..Quote:

The explanation was. They had been firing squibs through the gun previously the remains of a squib was stuck in the barrel. When he fired a “blank at his head “. It sent the squib into his brain
Interesting explanation
Still not very bright putting it a loaded gun to your head. You would want to make dam sure nothing could go boom. Fuckin movie stars
Jesus dude, stop.
To the regular tools who always seem to be here cunting up every thread you post in
A heartfelt.
“Fuck You”
Really from the bottom of my heart
Your previous post is mixing tragedies with scenarios that didn't happen. Please, just stop.
I bet at some point they were shooting for fun out on that ranch. It’s not often a bunch of New York or LA people get that freedom. And It had to be a real bullet to have the ballistics to pass through a body.

That’s the most likely explanation. Mixed in with some serious incompetenceQuote:

Still think Baldwin was in on it
Ignore makes MTT posts easier to read.
This was my first thought.. then after finding out it was a 45 and Baldwin had blood on his clothes.. 45 up VERY close? Maybe a 45 wad could if it missed all the bones....Quote:
