Come on, it's not Alec Baldwin's fault. The blame squarely falls on the armorer. The armorer is responsible for the gun and loads at all times. This is were their/her system failed tragically.

@Nitedoc What the he** was a loaded gun doing on a movie set? Don't they have prop guns? Of course, Jon Eric Hexum accidentally killed himself with a gun firing blanks.

@graphite force coming out fatally injured him 🤔
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@graphite Exactly my question. The armorer is responsible for the guns and loads on the set.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@Slade No, his reckless gun handling killed him.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Nitedoc in Hexum's case he had a fully packed round (without bullet) and fired next to his head. Large caliber too I believe.

Obviously concentrated force like that can be lethal

@Slade I know. But according to witnesses he put the gun muzzle to his temple and said "watch this" as he fired the gun. The blast sent bone fragments into his brain killing him. NEVER point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Nitedoc Yep. Something Baldwin knows now

@Slade Granted, he should have been told to point the gun to the side of people in the movie instead of right at them. There are too many "ifs" in this whole tragic event. I still say the responsibility of safety falls on the armorer.
