It took a while for the lawsuits to show up.

New York Post:

A lighting technician from the set of “Rust” is suing Alec Baldwin and the film’s armorer for negligence, claiming he suffered emotional distress after nearly being hit by the bullet that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The film’s gaffer, Serge Svetnoy, claims he held Hutchins in his arms as blood poured from her gunshot wound, and desperately tried to save her after Baldwin accidentally shot her with a loaded prop gun, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Court.

Svetnoy claims the 63-year-old actor should have checked the gun before pulling the trigger.

“[Baldwin] owed a duty to [me] and other crew members and actors on the ‘Rust’ set to handle the Colt Revolver provided to him by defendant Halls with reasonable care and diligence for the safety of ‘Rust’ cast and crew,” the suit states.

“This duty called for Defendant Baldwin to double-check the Colt Revolver with Halls upon being handled to ensure that it did not contain live ammunition,” it continues. “This duty further called for [Baldwin] to handle the Colt Revolver as if it was loaded and to refrain from pointing it at anyone.”

In the scene Baldwin was rehearsing, the actor was supposed to draw the gun and point it in the direction of the camera — but not pull the trigger, according to the lawsuit.

The gaffer — who is also suing the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, along with assistant director Dave Halls and others — also claims the people in charge failed to keep workers safe on set.

“They attempted to save money by hiring an insufficient number of crew members to safely handle the props and firearms,” the suit states, noting Baldwin was a producer on the film. It also alleges they violated industry norms, failed to allow proper time for gunfire and declined requests for a weapons training day.

It’s probably going to be hard to successfully sue Baldwin. He’s literally not responsible for this, and as much as I dislike him, I said as much at the time – I feel bad for him.

The only way they could sue Baldwin and win is if they showed that as a producer, he was in charge of the set, and was allowing it to be run in a completely unprofessional manner. You know – “reckless disregard” of some kind. They could get him on that. But not on simply pulling the trigger.

The bitch who is responsible is claiming there’s a conspiracy against her.

New York Post:

An attorney for the armorer on the set of “Rust” said that his client is being “framed” for the tragic death that occurred when Alec Baldwin shot the film’s cinematographer.

The lawyer for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed insisted on Wednesday that “sabotage” and a “tampered” crime scene were evidence of the frame job for the shooting last month on the New Mexico film set.

“I was framed lol”

“We are asking for a full and complete investigation of all of the facts, including the live rounds themselves, how they ended up in the ‘dummies’ box, and who put them in there,” attorney Jason Bowles said.

The lawyer said his client shared new “critical” information with local sheriffs as they await findings from the FBI and prosecutors.

“We are convinced that this was sabotage and Hannah is being framed. We believe that the scene was tampered with as well before the police arrived,” Bowles said, without providing any details to back up his claim.

I could believe it was some kind of conspiracy.

There were definitely a lot of weird things happening on that set, it seems.

Alec Baldwin is finally taking a bold stand against his own self.

New York Post:

Actor Alec Baldwin wrote on social media Monday that a police officer should be present for every movie production that uses guns, “fake or otherwise,” following the on-set mishap that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin, who shot and killed Hutchins on the set of his Western “Rust” in late October after he was handed a gun he was told was safe, posted the missive on his now-private Twitter account early Monday morning.

“Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety,” Baldwin, 63, wrote, sharing the same message to his Instagram account.

Typically, that burden falls on trained and professional armorers who oversee weapons on-set and follow strict safety guidelines, which Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed claims she abided by in the moments leading up to the on-set tragedy.

If you’re thinking “this isn’t about guns, it’s about Alec Baldwin and his crew being completely irresponsible,” then you’re a racist.

But seriously – he is trying not to get sued over this.

Gun control is one of these issues that is fundamentally important on the face of it, but gets spun into endless, dumb polemics. The Alec Baldwin event was good for both sides of the argument.

Or you could… let’s say… just spend more money and hire actual union professionals that know what they’re doing?!? Just a thought. I’m just spitballing here pic.twitter.com/jcCqR81vR0

Typical democratic statement…blame someone else. First rule of gun safety, always check the weapon when you first pick it up.

Why not an NRA certified safety officer?

If only we had an organization that teaches gun safety that could train all of the people on set for a small fraction of this cost…. It could be called No Real Ammo or something like that?

How about mandatory NRA safety courses and hiring qualified prop managers?

Or we could start teaching gun safety in school again.

But they want to defund the police……

Nick Cage is the most honest person in Hollywood, and possibly the most honest person in the whole world.

If he says a bitch is completely out of control, you can bet it is so.

This is the fact: Alec Baldwin doesn’t kill people. Diversity and inclusion kills people.

New York Post:

A furious Nicolas Cage stormed off the set of a film where Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was in charge of weapons — and ripped the rookie armorer for firing a gun without warning, crew members said in a new report.

The 24-year-old “Rust” armorer — in charge of guns when Alec Baldwin shot dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last Thursday — was repeatedly accused by crew members of breaking basic safety protocols on the Montana set of Cage’s “The Old Way” in August, they told the Wrap.

Cage even walked off set screaming at Gutierrez-Reed after she fired a gun without warning for the second time in three days, the movie’s key grip, Stu Brumbaugh, told the outlet.

“Make an announcement, you just blew my f—ing eardrums out!” Cage yelled before walking off in a rage, Brumbaugh recalled.

Brumbaugh even told the assistant director of the armorer, “She needs to be let go,” he recalled.

“After the second round, I was pissed off. We were moving too fast. She’s a rookie,” he said, saying that it was only after complaining that he found out it was the key crew member’s first movie in charge of weapons.

Brumbaugh detailed a series of complaints that were made about Gutierrez-Reed, including that she walked onto the set with live rounds or blanks without announcing it to the cast and crew.

She also walked around with pistols tucked under her armpits such that they were pointing back at people, and allowed firearms to be aimed at people, Brumbaugh told the Wrap.

Another crew member — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — confirmed the concerns.

Gutierrez-Reed “put the cast and crew in several unnecessary and dangerous situations,” the unidentified crew member told the Wrap.

You can’t just hire incompetent women for important jobs and expect that no one will die.

But I guess the general stance of the society now is: “it doesn’t matter if people die as long as we have women in control.”

From the way the media covers coronavirus, you’d think that “people not dying” was incredibly important to them. But that is a complete ruse.

This bitch was totally off the chain, and a disaster waiting to happen.
