"So what I do not understand and probably neither does anyone else, is how the fcuk could it be possible for Guttierez to load a gun with live rounds. Clearly it isn't possible, there must have been someone else involved who handled the gun other than the assistant director."

 My understanding is the crew used those guns for practice/recreational shooting that morning.  It's obvious now why that should never happen.  I can not confirm this.

 I know from experience people can mix sim rounds and blanks while loading their own weapon and not notice.  

 I agree.  In most cases this is what happens from my experience.  I will not provide evidence for this.

 It is rarely, in my experience and research, an assassination.

I think if Baldwin has any liability at all, it will be as a producer, if he was involved in hiring that armorer.
Some producers are only involved in financing,... others run the show, and do hiring, manage budgets, etc...

Golly Gee Wally,
how come a Gun Hating, Freedom Hating Socialist,
is working his azz off SPINNING the truth that he, is responsible for HIS ACTIONS.
And it is someone else’s fault, that HE KILLED Someone?

John Wane, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Roy Rogers, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Gunsmoke, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Paladin, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Maverick, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Bonanza, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
Wagon Train, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
The Loan Ranger, used S/A firearms in Westerns.
And ON, and ON, and on, and on

All those people handling Firearms,
who were knowledgeable about firearms,
and were NOT, DFI, FDS, Gun Hating Socialists.
How many, ‘accidents’, did those people have ?
How many YEARS did they work ?

Golly Gee Wally,
Why is it that a Gun Hating, DFI, FDS’ing Socialist,
is SPINNING his, RESPONSIBILITY, as someone else’s fault.

And all those other people,
had no ‘KILLING’ when handling firearms,
probably Hundreds of Thousand of times more.

But the DFI, FDS, Gun Haters, need not worry.
Just as Hanoi Jane,
committed TREASON,
Nothing was ever done.

The gun hating Socialist Baldwin.
Will get a pass.

Now Guttierez' lawyers release this statement...

"Safety is Hannah's number one priority on
set. Ultimately this set would never have
been compromised if live ammo were not
introduced. Hannah has no idea where the
live rounds came from...

This appears to be subtly implying that Guttierez may have loaded a single live round but it would not have been her fault because there should never have been any live rounds anywhere near her. Which is a pretty poor excuse from the head armourer.

It looks like that Baldwin is negligent in hiring incompetents, among other things, the people who had the live rounds on set will get some charges but it's difficult to see how the head armourer can get away with anything other than negligent manslaughter . But then Balwin hired her and allowed unsafe and probably illegal practices. So both of them will be charge.

However there is the celebrity aspect, like the way Bruce Jenner, (as he was then) clearly killed a woman with his dangerous and negligent driving. If it were not for footage of the incident filmed from the rear view camera of a passing bus, no one would have known that Jenner way lying. Caitlyn Jenner as she now was shortly after the accident was not even charged for any of the many crimes that are recorded on film.

So Guttierez may get away with this due to her guilt being like to Baldwin.

Not sure why the film industry doesn't just use guns that only fire blanks.

Apart from that it is ironic that Guttierez is trying to blame the producers and whinging about how she couldn't do her job properly, because to actually be a genuine head armourer and take on the full responsibility means that it is necessary to be an utter and complete badass and somehow Guttierez just doesn't fit that profile. So again I guess that is on the producers for hiring her. Or what about the organisation who represents and licenses or certifies armourers, as she is clearly incompetent.




Not very badass!

There was also mentioned that this might be a diversity hire due requirements needed for Oscar nomination.

There was also mentioned that this might...

Priceless.
