POS has bad karma all over him and unfortunately it caused others nearby to experience his bad ju-ju...

Fuck him! Hope he gets charged! Lawsuit (civil) aside...

AB's politics are that of an asshole.
AB's sense of humor, SNL skits, are that of an asshole.
AB's temper is that of an asshole.

However, this situation is an accident. Negligence for sure, but nevertheless there was no criminal intent, on AB's part. I can't speak to intent on the armorer or prop masters part though.

Other than AB having to close his eyes every night and suffer the pain of what he did there's only one other actor that deserves it more, Alyssa Milano.

Generous of you to afford AB the benefit of the doubt but I doubt he would do that in return.

Pointing any device with a barrel and gunpowder in it at something you don’t intend to destroy is a violation of basic gun safety.

Just one more hypocritical elite who has lost all credibility. Hopefully his career gets canceled.

Every movie with guns involves this, though--generally it's very safe (as evidenced by how rare these events happen), but only if diligent safety procedures are followed. They clearly weren't in this case.

Got a problem with this, I dont have the details so far, so theres no way to know, but. #1 Balwin is a crazy nasty spoiled hot headed elitist drunken asshole. He was the producer on the set. the Big boss. and is known for his temper tantrums . #2 live ammo in gun #3 two people shot by accident. why was he shooting at the photographer??

I dont know what type of weapon and I dont know it it was only one shot. But if it turns out he shot twice, it was no accident. It was homicide. He better pray to the god of washed up actors that it was one shot two hits.

and even if it was , he had no business having live ammo on the set at minimum there's negligence.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that a live round (though I wonder if they're defining "live round" the way most of us would) would even be on a movie set let along handed to an actor who was going to use it in a scene. This screams or blazing incompetency at multiple levels OR (tin foil hat time)....maybe it was meant to be this way. Maybe someone was trying to put a hit on the director of cinemaphotography.

Yeah, I really don't believe that. Probably just blazing incompetence but still.

According to NPR reporting, this was a low budget production, and they did not have an armorer on site. There were complaints of unsafe environments filed by crew members that staged a walk off before the incident. Seeing that AB is also a producer, would he be liable for unsafe conditions and lack of proper armorer oversight etc.?
