Live bullet found in prop holster of actor Jensen Ackles on ‘Rust’ set

Jesus what a hot mess of a set.

Indeed, R1.

Imagine the guilt Jensen would have felt, if he had accidentally shot someone because of that dumb bitch's mistake.

And Hannah Gutierrez Reed truly felt that she deserved no jail time for leaving live ammunition in the weapons.

She's the ARMORER, for fuck's sake!

It was her duty to make sure that the prop guns were safe.

Clearly, she was too high on booze and cocaine to notice.

That armorer was insane. High as a fucking kite and a gun fanatic without a half an ounce of sense in her head.

Jensen went 15 years on the set of Supernatural, without an accident like this.

And Supernatural used machine guns, and guns, and rocket launchers.

This tragedy must have freaked him out.

I think "armorer" has to be one of the most pretentious job titles ever.

I was brought up around guns, and was taught you never aim a gun at someone and that YOU are responsible for the gun in your hand, no one else, not even a supposed armorer, why would you pull a trigger and not even look at the gun?

He’s innocent. Because he’s hot.

Because it's a movie set, r6. People aim guns at other people (or themselves) and pull the trigger all the time in movies. It's not the actor's responsibility to know that there's not live ammo in the chamber.

No, r8, they really don't.

Momma is barreling east on Route 66, determined to be there in person for Jensen should he need a helping hand adjusting to prison life in Santa Fe.

It's a movie about the Wild American West in the 1880's, you dumb cunt.

YES, they DO.

It's not the actor's responsibility to know that there's not live ammo in the chamber.

Are you part of the crew? Who says things like that? And yes it is the actors duty, unless you intend to kill someone. I hope he goes down I would convict him without thinking twice.

[quote]r11 = YES, they DO.

ONLY when directed to do so.

Okay, so clearly you have an agenda and you just want to see Alec Baldwin FRY.

The fact of the matter is that the actor should not have to worry about whether or not the gun is loaded.

Their job is to ACT.

It is the ARMORER'S JOB to ensure safety. That's what they are hired for, and that's what they get paid to do.

Alec Baldwin may be guilty of negligence for hiring a dumb cunt who was not only inexperienced and underqualified for the the job, but she was also fucking getting high on the set.

Hannah Gutierrez Reed bears the brunt of the responsibility for Ms. Hutchinson's death.

If anything, Alec being a Producer of the film, bears as much responsibility as any other producer. So if he goes down, they should all go down.

Either you're some kind of MAGAT who hates Alec because he's a Liberal, or you're just a dumb fuck spouting dumb things from your asshole.

I'm guessing both.

It's ridiculous to claim that because you wouldn't point a gun at someone in your living room, Baldwin is at fault for doing this on a movie set. As if there is no difference between your house and a tightly controlled environment where unusual and risky things happen.

It's also illogical to blame Baldwin when the person hired to look after the guns and ammo didn't do her job. If an actor crashes a car because the mechanic responsible for the car accidently cut the brakes, do you blame the actor or the mechanic?

r6 Because it's supposed to be a fucking prop. They literally employ someone whose sole job is to make sure those props are safe. It's like saying it's the actor's responsibility to make sure that facial prosthetics they have applied by prosthetics people won't dissolve their face. What the fuck kind of a logic is that?

r14 = Alec Baldwin

I guess that would make R17 a THOUGHTLESS LITTLE PIG.

[quote]It's not the actor's responsibility to know that there's not live ammo in the chamber.

After Brandon Lee, yes the hell it is.

r18 Dude, I've worked on film sets before where firearms are handled. The armorer is supposed to go over the weapon with the actor, confirm that there is no live ammo, and that it is safe to use on set.

If the armorer doesn't go through these safety checks with the actor, the actor is not supposed to use that firearm in the scene until it's done. Not only is this situation on the actor (Baldwin) it's also on the director because they, too, are supposed to make sure all safety checks have been thoroughly completed when handling firearms on set for a scene.

^ And those checks are supposed to occur immediately before the scene with the firearm is shot (no pun intended).

Jensen is lucky he didn't get shot and killed.

So tell us, genius. How is the actor supposed to test it?

Fire at a wall? Shoot a dog?

It is NOT the job of the actor to even test the gun. In fact, the actor would probably be fired for doing something so stupid.

THE ARMORER is responsible. Period. End of story.

Now shut the fuck up, you moron!

[quote] Asked about the live rounds of ammunition that were discovered on set, Poppell said [bold]investigators found some on a prop cart, in a box of ammo and also in two prop gun holsters[/bold] — the one worn by Alec Baldwin and another worn by co-star Ackles.

This was even worse, because live rounds of ammunition were mixed in with the blanks.

What kind of fucking armorer would allow this?

That situation was so utterly fucked up, and that little cunt had no clue what she was doing.

She deserves more prison time than what she received.

Somebody wanted that cinematographer dead! Wasn't she Russian/Ukrainian?

Maybe she was on the defenestration list.

Is he the one who can’t act, or the one who REALLY can’t act?

[quote] Is he the one who can’t act, or the one who REALLY can’t act?

YES.

[quote]So tell us, genius. How is the actor supposed to test it?

r23 I'm not sure if you're trolling because this isn't really something that is up for debate. There are very strict and distinct rules for handling firearms on a film or TV set. That is just a fact. Yes, testing is one of the safety checks.

There are also safety meetings that take place with the crew the day of the shoot and the actors, themselves, are also given safety briefings on firearm safety on the day they are scheduled to film a scene and handle a firearm. Before the firearm is given to the actor (which happens immediately before the scene is filmed), the actor is given another safety check and inspection of the firearm with the armorer to ensure it is safe.

Since you want to be a smart ass, yes, some productions do have firing ranges near the set to test the firearms. Before loading a firearm with blanks, they typically fire the weapon to make sure that the chamber is clear of debris and even open the chamber to re-inspect it and make sure it's clear.

As you well know, Brandon Lee wasn't killed by an actual bullet, but debris of a dummy round that was stuck in the chamber and when another dummy round was loaded, it turned the debris into a deadly projectile that killed him. After confirming it's clear, many armorers prefer to load the dummy rounds right there with the actor to prove that it's safe to fire in the scene. There is also usually an armed security guard (supposed to be) posted outside of the armory truck during filming.

Anymore dumbass questions?

The prosecution of Baldwin for this blows my mind.

I wonder how many cocks he sucked back then?

WHET to that druggie young woman armorer?

[quote] WHET to that druggie young woman armorer?

She got a brand new outfit and some shiny jewelry...

R33, she looks much better and thinner there!

Maybe a little jail time did her complexion some good, too!

Is that her attorney next to her @ R33? Good luck with that, Toots!

I haven't really followed this story but seems like the armorer was irresponsible. Why is Baldwin being prosecuted?

Was she on drugs while working? Why were there even real bullets on set?

The FUCKING armorer was an unqualified nepo-baby, wasn't she?

My take is...Baldwin was sick of waiting to finish a scene and realized or was told that the victim was the hold-up, and he--sarcastically--aimed the gun at her and pulled the trigger like an impatient child.

He shouldn't prosecuted.

[quote] The FUCKING armorer was an unqualified nepo-baby, wasn't she?

Looks like.

This ABC News report calls him a "legend" in the industry.

Her father seems quite clueless, and doesn't blame her at all.

Hannah is 24 and her father is 81.

No wonder she takes no accountability.

She's probably his "perfect little princess," who could do no wrong.

Here's an interview with an armorer who was scheduled for the project. If what he says is true the producers should bear some responsibility for the circumstances on set. But it's sounding like there never will be consequences for their hand in the chaos (it wasn't just the armorer).

That was some great information, R28.

Thanks.

He shot the gun despite that there was no reason to. They weren’t shooting a scene, there was no protective guard up. He was basically fooling around with a gun. That is not very professional.

Was Jensen a Hollywood pass around bottom, in his younger days?

Sure looks like it.

Whore!

[quote] Judge in Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ Trial Sends Jurors Home as She Weighs Surprise Motion to Dismiss

SANTA FE, N.M. — Alec Baldwin’s lawyers have filed a surprise motion asking that his manslaughter case be thrown out because the state failed to turn over a batch of bullets to the defense.

In a dramatic moment on Friday morning, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer donned a pair of blue gloves to open an envelope containing the bullets, and had them spread on a table. Though prosecutor Kari Morrissey had asserted that the bullets did not match the fatal round, at least some of them were Starline Brass rounds with silver primers — matching the characteristics of the live bullets found on the set of “Rust.”

The judge then sent the jury home for the weekend to allow for further exploration of the defense motion.

Attorney Luke Nikas argued that the failure to turn over relevant evidence was part of a broader pattern of disclosure violations by the prosecution, and said that enough is enough.

“This is over and over and over again,” Nikas said. “This is not the first time. This is not the second time. It’s not the third time. It’s time for this case to be dismissed.”

Baldwin is on trial for shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while filming “Rust” at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, near Santa Fe, in 2021. He was unaware that his gun contained a live round, and the source of the live bullets has been a key mystery ever since.

Troy Teske, a former police officer, turned in a batch of bullets to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office in March, and said they would match the fatal round.

Am I the only one dying to see Rust?

Alec Baldwin case.... DISMISSED!

'Rust' Special Prosecutor Resigns Over Public Hearing in Alec Baldwin Trial

R6 is a fkin idiot. We all know that you don’t aim a gun at someone unless a you intend to shoot UNLESS you are on a mafuckin movie set as a an actor.

I don’t get why they can’t just use fake guns that look hella real and then CGI them to look realer.

R12, what was that again?

The charges were dismissed!

[QUOTE]UNLESS you are on a mafuckin movie set as a an actor

Why is idiot white guy trying to sound black? 'Mafucking" was the Nth incarnation of some idiot fuck who had many names, yet DL ran the 'Mafucker' off with it.

[quote]Jensen is lucky he didn't get shot and killed.

Curses! Foiled again!

I love how Jensen dropped out of the movie, due to "scheduling conflicts."

Sure, Jan!

Jensen should have stuck with the movie.

It might actually be more popular now with all the publicity.
