Because Baldwin killed his own cinematographer, due to his wanting to hire scabs for his film production and the resulting breakdown of basic safety protocol on his set.
You can find anecdotes about the whole production of course, but the most egregious was obviously production hiring a newbie for 2 roles that should always be split up - armourer and prop master.
If I remember correctly, Baldwin was not only a producer on the film, but also the owner of the production company. Even still in this shit-hole capital world, when you hire someone you are responsible for making sure they are competent, especially when handling firearms is integral to their duties.
This is supposed to be part of the often crowed risk capitalists take when they get to exploit others for profit. But Baldwin and co. did not ensure competency, booted all competent IATSE members off site, and Halyna Hutchins died shortly after in the pursuit of capital’s monstrous bloody profits. Now Baldwin gets to totally shirk the risk off to his unqualified hire and whoever else deemed a good target.
Baldwin is an example of a social murderer. Usually the victims are far removed from the glass offices these types mostly live in, but in Baldwin’s case she was right in front of him.
If you ask me, the focus mostly on Baldwin is unfortunate, because the whole group of producers should potentially be facing jail time.
He shot someone on set. It was apparently an accident so I guess it would technically be manslaughter, but he was also a producer on the film that didn’t use union labour and had a slapdash, armourer whose fuck up also led to the shooting.
Why is Alec Baldwin in this photo?
