The FBI has proven actor Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger on the gun (similar to a single-action Colt 45) which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust”.

Earlier, Baldwin maintained in an interview that he did not pull the trigger.  His version:  the gun’s hammer snapped back while Ms. Hutchins instructed him on how to hold the weapon.  He had been handed the loaded weapon by assistant director Dave Halls who said it was safe to use.

Armorer Hannah Reed, a newbie with little experience on handling guns for films, was caught on video (without a lawyer) explaining what happened.  Her attitude explains it all – the lax, lazy, inattentive behavior which helped lead to this tragedy.  Who’s to blame?  Alec Baldwin was the producer and responsible for hiring Reed.  All done to save money.

The movie “Rust” itself is a total loss, it will never be released.  Baldwin is no longer an A-list Hollywood actor and has been demoted to podcasts and comments on Twitter.

Indicative on how the system works, no one was arrested or served jail time.  Hutchins family, I expect, will settle for some kind of cash settlement.  Tell me, what is the value of a human life?
