    so the armorer brought a gun with a live round to the set scene and said it was ready. the producer doing the final check at the table announced the gun as “cold” and therefore not loaded with anything that could fire (blanks or live rounds), and handed it to baldwin. and baldwin took it, holstered it, then practicing a draw that was meant to be aimed at a camera, shot and killed someone behind the camera. then everybody blamed everybody else, because apparently nobody did their job. multiple failures by different people is an institutional and cultural problem. and throw in the armorer said it was intentional sabotage.

    Baldwin sounds the least at fault here, why is he the one being charged?
