If anyone wants to be up for days with outrage and sadness, outlaw ocean is excellent. Also a great way to ruin fish and seafood

Right?! They haven’t released any info about the suspect in the second article, like what his relationship was to them or anything.
I find the autopsy results for Misrach a bit odd. Like just because there were drugs in her system (all mental health drugs, too) that means it was an intentional suicide?

One bit of news on Bryan Christopher Kohberger- apparently he was enrolled in a college very nearby the victims’ house.
He was pursuing a PhD in (wait for it) Criminology.

Y’ALL.
I’m shocked! I read about this when it happened but thought there was no way anything would come of it. I also still don’t understand HOW and why this happened. It makes zero sense. Something’s fishy IMO, I wonder what will come about about the armorer (who is also being charged). They seem more at fault to me but what do I know.

There was a pretty in depth LA Times article about this today that sucked me in. I think it’s interesting that some people are pleading out but Alec Baldwin is fighting in court. It seems to rest on the fact that if you are holding a gun in your hands then it’s inherently your responsibility to check it before pointing it at anyone vs. his argument that he trusted the people around him to load it properly.

I thought that was interesting too!! I feel like in almost any other circumstance it makes sense that the person holding the gun is in control of what happens but this seems so different to me! Were you as shocked as I was when you found out they even use REAL FUCKING GUNS on set?! I couldn’t believe it! What do you think?
My rationale is it feels like : You go to a cooking class. The professional Chef teaching the class gives you ingredients to make a cake. You give the cake to your friend. The Chef had poisoned the flour and your friend dies. Are you at fault? Like isn’t this the precise job of the armorer?! And aren’t you supposed to take their word at things for literal safety reasons? IDK. Haha.

I wonder if it’s more related to him also being a producer, so like the guy who hired (or at least signed the paychecks of) the chef who poisoned the flour?

Also, I’ve worked with blank/prop guns in a live theater setting, and in training they emphasized SO MANY TIMES to never actually point the gun directly at another person, EVER. Even a gun that doesn’t/couldn’t fire, you check the ammo and DONT AIM DIRECTLY AT A PERSON, EVER. In that context I don’t see how he isn’t responsible, but also am not a lawyer.

Oh that’s really interesting to know! Since you work in production- can you explain why they would even use a real gun? Like I still can’t get past that part.
That makes so much sense!

For realism, I guess? The stage guns I work with fired blanks. The exhaust didn’t come out the expected but, but out of a hole in the top of the gun. If you were filming, you’d be able to see that there was nothing coming out the muzzle.
Mostly speculation:
If they wanted a particular period gun, a fake gun may not have been available so the options likely were use a real gun with blanks (which are still dangerous) or cgi the blasts in after the fact. Maybe there are more options in made-of-money Hollywood versus the theater, where we don’t want bullet holes in the theater walls.
Clearly there were questionable safety decisions made. I wonder if there was method actor BS going on, rather than, you know, ACTING like they’re firing the gun.
Apparently the settlement with the victims’ families includes finishing the movie?!?

Thanks for the explanation! That does make sense. I think I just assumed they would all be fake 
and I couldn’t get it out of my head!
Wut. That’s…something.

my expectation from what I read of armourers going through how it could have happened is that any actor who has any experience with guns on set would have known there were problems with the process.
Like if you were taking a cooking class and the instructor had raw chicken on the bench for 3 hours and then chopped it up, handed it out for you to cook with, and then cut up some carrots for dip using the same board and knife for you to serve to your friend.
