I lived in Texas for 6 years. They do have problem: 1. Being over populated. 2. Poor wages. 3. Uncaring Employers 4. Unaffordable housing. 5. Bad basic utilities 6. Poor governance 7. Unemployment. Sad

[@wagonstation3709]

Excuse me but, did you watch him the night Brian Laundrie's remains were found? The questions were *beyond awkward and rude*.... especially since he, the lawyer, personally had known Brian for years. And did Llamas back down when told he was not being appropriate? (Not in the least!) Speaking of awkward and rude.... (the video is playing while I'm writing this).... he's now trying to solve the Baldwin case with this woman!! When she didn't answer him because it was so awkward to ask! Plus this: "can you guarantee the family....." No, she can't-- and you're incredibly rude to ask that! Your questions are coming close to interfering with the case--- who do you think you are?? I want Llamas fired--- or at least strongly scolded!

Guns used for LIVE target practice and guns used as film props should NEVER be interchangeable.

I don’t see what’s so hard about determining who is at fault in the set shooting situation. Someone is assigned to ensure the safety of the firearm, right? The firearm wasn’t safe, right? Ok. There you go.

Its just their typical media theatre …didnt you know?

[@Chrriekay907]

[@pulaski1]

The Rust shooting needs to go to court with charges for _everyone_ connected to the gun, and let a jury decide who is responsible.

[@luminaire42]

That isn't how that works.

[@pulaski1]

@@luminaire42 Well not when the wealthy and well-connected lawyer-up and pressure the DA, it isn't, but the way the legal system is _supposed_ to work, cases like this should go through a grand jury and, if indicted, a court trial. It is unfortunately likely that wealth and influence will win out, as it usually does.

[@nativetexan53]

I am more worried about the varient coming our of South America. We are already seeing it in Texas and it is supposed to be vaccine resistant.

[@raymondkymsuttle]

So let me get this right - they’re calling for tighter gun controls on movie sets when one person gets killed but are against tighter gun controls when hundreds get killed in massh shootings?

[@TrueOrigins1618]

This reporter line of questioning was so mind numbing and went on way too long. He kept asking the same thing over and over and trying to plug Alek Baldwin back into the story whenever possible. Like move on. I feel so sorry for the director that lost her life, the one injured and their families but especially for Baldwin. I can’t imagine how he feels.

[@pulaski1]

Baldwin pulled the trigger, you can't get away from that _fact._

[@suberndt182]

All the shell cases have nothing to do with it. That gun does not discharge its casings

[@dracha6793]

The SPENT shell casings are EVIDENCE that LIVE ROUNDS WERE ON THE SET AT SOME TIME. THIS IS NOT OKAY BY HOLLYWOOD SAFETY STANDARDS. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE A MASSIVE LAWSUIT involving SEVERAL PPL "ON SET". 100% MISTAKE.

If evidence shows these men were innocent victims, they should be able to say and use whatever words they want...FREEDOM OF SPEECH, 1ST AMMENDMENT, SOUND FAMILIAR?

[@RealStuntPanda]

If I'm not using one of my firearms it's always in a locked gun case so why were there guns on a cart where anyone could access them? And it's easy to tell the difference between a real cartridge and a blank cartridge; the blank has a crimped end where the bullet would be. In addition there should never be firearms that accept real rounds on a set as there are special guns that _only_ accept blanks but not actual rounds.

[@truthteller9123]

What kind of man makes a covenant with his oppressor instead of with his people

[@mattiemoore6701]

Be careful who you place with special occasion he didn't do his job the man that fired the gun is not resonable my option.

[@wearenottogetheranymore2658]

None of it makes any sense. Two many reports coming out saying the gun was used for target practice but by who? And why would anyone use a prop gun for real live target practice ?

14.2% of Americans are african american, therefore if there is 14.2% representation in any given position, that is equity. Hispanics are 18.5% of the US population, etc etc. Same metrics there. That’s not to say there couldn’t be more representation of any particular group, it’s just that sometimes it gets implied that only 50% representation would be fair without looking at the actual population percentages.

This is very disturbing for these reasons, for Alec Baldwin he is responsible for the whole crew and their safety, the other 2 people are just as much responsible for the shooting for two people as they them self did not do their job properly, all three should go to prison there is absolutely no reason why this should of happened. I guess all the film makers haven't learned what has happened in the past, yes its all about the almighty dollar and definitely not about peoples live. Incent people will always die do to the stupidity of others on movie sets, let me say this all should be sued for their ignorance of safety comes first and last of the day. Let me leave you with this, shame on all responsible for this lack of care for others. I say they must pay for hurt they have caused and that prison and a law suit just unbelievable the lack of responsibility in the u.s. for making a film. I have no respect or sorrow at all , I deeply feel for the dear family who has lost their loved one. I have heard nothing but excuses in the media not faulting the media they say what they can it's time to do what is right but I think that will just be pushed as ever other incidents on film sites. I am totally discussed with Hollywood. 🇨🇦
