If you were on-site, there’s a good chance you’d have been off-site by the time the shooting happened.
* In addition to the shooting, there were also three reports of prop guns firing unintentionally. On top of that, there was poor COVID safety, and many crew members were left unpaid and without hotel rooms. And the production higher-ups stuck their heads in the sand about it until they couldn’t do it anymore.
All the MORE reason Mr Baldwin should have checked the gun himself.

( not directed at Rev)
Ask yourself this - if someone handed you a gun at work - and told you it was loaded with blanks - and told you they wanted you to fire it at someone -
Would you do it?
Forget Mr Baldwin is a loved actor for a minute.
He did exactly that - took a gun someone told him contained blanks - and he fired it at someone.
....
He IS guilty ( by his own admission) of doing just that.
He killed someone because of someone else' s and his own negligence. He could have and he SHOULD have checked the gun.
He should not get a Ted Kennedy pass....
