How did you get that out of what I was saying ?
It was an accident for sure, unless you are claiming he intended to shoot them.
Whether it was criminally negligent, or just a normal level of negligence remains to be seen.
There was certainly lots of negligence on set that day, can't say if any of it rose to the level of criminality though.
But it was absolutely an accident, and it was certainly negligent to some degree. They are not mutually exclusive.

I see no mention that it cannot be an accident if there is negligence.
Virtually all accidents have some measure of negligence as a cause.
What do *you* think the definition of "accident" is ?

When I shoot PPC before I can holster my empty revolver, I show the shooter next to me my safe and empty handgun and he shows me his. We verify that each gun is empty then we are allowed to holster. I mean this woman armor'er has been told hr whole life that men are toxic, men cheat, men break rules. And you are not cool unless you act like a man. Well it looks like she believed the feminist bullshit doesn't it. What makes me think she's a feminist? Everything from her name to her hustory to hanging around with feminine men.

Alec Baldwin handed prop gun on 'Rust' set by crew member who was previously fired after 2019 mishap
Dave Halls was fired after a crew member 'incurred a minor and temporary injury' when a 'prop gun discharged,' a 'Freedom's Path' producer said
By Nate Day | Fox Newsclose
Alec Baldwin should speak to criminal defense attorney after fatal gun accident: Turley
The crew member who handed Alec Baldwin a prop gun on the set of "Rust" had been previously fired from a separate project after another incident with a prop firearm.On Thursday, Baldwin discharged a firearm while rehearsing a scene for the western-genre film, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
According to a warrant from authorities, the 63-year-old actor was handed the firearm by assistant director Dave Halls. A warrant stated that Halls handed the prop gun to Baldwin and declared it "cold," an industry term meaning that the weapon was not loaded with ammunition, including blanks.
The gun Baldwin used was one of three that a firearms specialist, or armorer, had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to court records. Per The Associated Press, citing the application for the search warrant, Halls was unaware live rounds were inside the firearm.
Fox News can now confirm that Halls was fired from a separate project in 2019 after a crew member on "Freedom's Path" incurred an injury from a prop gun.

"I can confirm that Dave Halls was fired from the set of 'Freedom's Path' in 2019 after a crew member incurred a minor and temporary injury when a gun was unexpectedly discharged," a producer from the film said in a statement.
ALEC BALDWIN WAS TOLD FIREARM WAS UNLOADED, SEARCH WARRANT SAYS: REPORT
"Halls was removed from set immediately after the prop gun discharged," the producer added. "Production did not resume filming until Dave was off-site. An incident report was taken and filed at that time."
Fox News has reached out to Halls for comment.

The filmmaker has served as assistant director on many titles, including "Reno 911!," "Bones," "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Hannah Montana: The Movie." He also worked as a second assistant director on Marilyn Manson's "Born Villain" music video.

The producer is the second person to air doubts about Halls' safety record. On Sunday, another crew member who worked with Halls said she raised concerns about him in 2019.
Crew member Maggie Goll, who worked with Halls on "Into the Dark," told The Associated Press that when they worked together, she filed an internal complaint with the executive producers over concerns about Halls' behavior on set.

Goll said in an email Sunday that Halls disregarded safety protocols for weapons and pyrotechnics and tried to continue filming after a crew member had "slipped into a diabetic fugue state."
New Mexico authorities launched an investigation after the on-set shooting last week that saw Hutchins die and director Joel Souza incur an injury of his own.
In an email sent to "Rust" crew members over the weekend, the movie's production team confirmed that work on the film has been suspended at least until the investigation is complete. The team said it is working with law enforcement and conducting its own internal safety review. The production company is also offering grief counseling.
No charges have been filed. Prosecutors and law enforcement officers are expected to provide an update on the investigation Wednesday.

Actually, the elite woke has stopped calling traffic accidents (accidents) for years now. Collisions or wrecks or crash is the commonly accepted politically correct terms by the word police. But I hate to stink up the thread but the title is :
IT WASN'T A PROP GUN!
It was a gun being used as a prop.

A two last name 25-year-old Blonde is hired by Baldwin for the "gig". Her words, not mine.
PS. He didn't point a prop gun at the people he shot as part of a script. He pointed a "real gun" at the people clowning around or practicing quick draw. Either way. He pointed a real gun at people and pulled the trigger. How many times have you done that? What will you do if someone points a real gun at you? Was he doinking the blonde? She was obviously not qualified.

“This can’t happen again,” declares Black Panther director of photography Rachel Morrison, the first woman nominated for an Oscar for cinematography for the 2017 film Mudbound. “Not ever. The technology is there to do most things without live fire.” CODE WORDS FOR WE NEED A NEW BAN!ABC’s ‘The Rookie’ Bans “Live” Guns on Set
The change, effective Friday, comes in the wake of the fatal shooting on the set of Alec Baldwin's 'Rust.'
Yeah right. Never again. News flash. They have to use "fake" look-alike guns in California already so STFU Black Panther director of photography Rachel Morrison, the first woman nominated for an Oscar for cinematography for the 2017 film Mudbound
Many "budding" filmmakers are on YouTube doing a better job. Never mind showing the firing of a revolver and hearing a cartridge hit the floor or using a BB Gun to portray a handgun. They figured out a way to make the point using downloadable sound effects and the visual point is made.
Back in the 50s and 60s, you were shown cowboys getting shot with no gore or so-called "realism". If you want realism go play GTA. Yeah, that is real realism! Or is it just gore and violence? When I hear people shouting we must make it so this never happens again. I say get back down the rabbit hole Alice. I reject your version of reality.

Its being reported that it was a Pietta knockoff of a Colt. I do not know if they have modernized the design to incorporate a transfer bar for the hammer. If not, a ND could occur if there was a live round in the chamber and the hammer bounced while he was practicing his draw. Either way its pure negligence.
