If you've never had a vagina pull a gun on you, I don't know what to say

There is always a reason someone is picked to do a job correct? Same question leading to 2 different theories. I'm sure her dad's name helped but doesn't mean it couldn't be both. |

My original comment was a joke before I knew anything about her history. But then when you see how little experience she had and the fact she was fired from her last movie job over safety concerns with guns then you have to really wonder. But you keep white knighting this young lady Sir Penguinz if it helps you sleep at night. |

You have never made a joke about a woman before? Not even a single make me a sandwich joke right? Are you being serious? You are being childish as hell over this. For the record - I was the first manager in our company to hire a female supervisor for one of my teams. Why? Because she was the most qualified for the job. I am the first manager in the company to hire a Hispanic supervisor, and I have done it twice now, they are still the only 2 in the company to this point. You know why? Because they were the most qualified. Pull the stick out of your ass. |

Curious, do you consider amenability to humor a moral failing?

Yeah, I think I'll go with the nepotism theory. I've seen it in practice for years in NFL coaching jobs, and most of those people are incompetent.

Ive always wondered how my blackpowder cowboy loads in 45 long Colt would hold up in a home invasion situation.
Well now I know. They'll do just fine and then some.

- someone does, . . . someone as cowardly and passive-aggressive as you'd imagine.

Yeesh - Alec Baldwin just plopped into a world of hurt
‘Rust’ armorer has ‘no idea’ where live rounds came from and blames deadly accident on cost-cutting bosses
https://nypost.com/2021/10/29/rust-a...ng-bosses/amp/ The rookie armorer in charge of weapons when Alec Baldwin accidentally shot dead his cinematographer has insisted she has “no idea” where the live ammunition came from — and is blaming the tragedy on her cost-cutting bosses. Lawyers for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed told NBC late Thursday that the 24-year-old former model “is devastated and completely beside herself over the events that have transpired” on the set of Baldwin’s “Rust.” “Safety is Hannah’s number one priority on set. Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced,” her attorneys, Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence, said in a statement. “Hannah has no idea where the live rounds came from,” the attorneys insisted, saying all the guns had been locked up each night. Gutierrez-Reed — who was working only her second job as armorer — also insisted she was understaffed, undertrained and overruled when she tried to improve safety on the New Mexico set before Baldwin accidentally shot dead Halyna Hutchins, 42, last Thursday. “Hannah was hired on two positions on this film, which made it extremely difficult to focus on her job as an armorer,” the statement said. Gutierrez-Reed has complained of being undertrained and overworked before the accident. “She fought for training, days to maintain weapons and proper time to prepare for gunfire but ultimately was overruled by production and her department. “The whole production set became unsafe due to various factors, including lack of safety meetings,” it said of the movie that days earlier avoided a strike by the crew. Gutierrez-Reed appeared to confirm earlier reports that there had already been an “accidental discharge” of a weapon at least twice during filming, insisting she was not responsible for either. “The first one on this set was the prop master and the second was a stunt man after Hannah informed him his gun was hot with blanks,” the statement said. Producers for the film and Rust Movies Productions LLC did not immediately return requests for comment, NBC said. No charges have been filed over the fatal shooting, although Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies warned this week that “no one has been ruled out at this point … All options are on the table.” Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza also said the key focus of the investigation is on “how the live rounds ended up on set.” Around 500 rounds were taken as part of the investigation, including blanks, dummy rounds and more suspected live rounds. Gutierrez-Reed’s complaints about staffing appear to echo the reasons why experienced prop master Neal Zoromski said he turned down a job on the movie, fearing it was “an accident waiting to happen” as producers were only willing to hire one person to do “two really big jobs.” “Rust” gaffer Serge Svetnoy — who said his friend Hutchins died in his arms — also called out the producers, who include Baldwin, for risking safety to save money by hiring inexperienced crew in key jobs. “No saved penny is worth the LIFE of the person!” he wrote on Facebook. |

Sorry, sweetheart, but that's horseshit. A ****ing monkey could check to see if a 19th century revolver is loaded, and with what. Trained or untrained.
I suspect she's just trying to deflect responsibility, and it might work on people who don't know anything about firearms. I don't doubt the whole production was a douched-up disaster, but implying that she lacked the training to determine if a revolver was unloaded - sorry, but all credibility just went out the window. |

Yeah not having the training isn’t an excuse. I can’t imagine armorers are generally trained on set. Besides, isn’t she supposed to be licensed or something? If so, that would seem to negate she didn’t at the very least claim to be knowledgeable.
