Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is dead after Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set of the movie “Rust.”
The gun reportedly — and inexplicably — contained a single live round.

Who on earth would put a live round in a prop gun? Science publisher Johannes Velterop has a theory:
Might the prop gun have been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter, to punish Alec Baldwin for his Trump parodies? Should be a line of inquiry. https://t.co/lmfBWEbpmS

Should there be a line of inquiry, Johannes? You really think so?
Why is it only MAGA-types that vehemently dismiss this as one of the possible causes? Too close to the bone?
Btw, I do hope it was just an accident, but it's America after all.— Johannes Velterop ⓐⓊ 🇪🇺🇳🇱🇬🇧🇩🇪😷 (@Villavelius) October 22, 2021
“But it’s America”? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
