It's so terrible.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
It is horrifying. I'm sure we will find out what went wrong, but mostly I can't and don't want, to imagine what it would be like to accidentally kill someone.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And then if the gun is actually DRAWN there's a whole speech (and you'll hear it about sixty times) where you're told what the gun is, how it will be used, what it can and cannot do... and then its offered to anyone who wants to see it and shine the flashlight through the blocked barrel personally. This happens repeatedly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I remember earlier occasions when people were killed on set with prop guns ... even ones with blanks.

John Rogers said on Twitter that any time a gun is in use on his set, he puts it up against his hand and fires it before they do the scene.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It sounds like that was a bad situation before the shooting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was watching a show on conspiracies where they reenacted how Brandon Lee died on set to show how it was possible to be killed with a prop gun filled with blanks. It came down to something being left in the barrel of the gun that shouldn't have been there that was dislodged by the blank, but I don't know enough about guns to remember all to details.

Always Anti-fascist!
Nothing to fool with, that's for sure. In an unrelated note, :MOM, IT"S OKAY TO TELL ME THAT YOU WANT SOMETHING! I feel bad that we half-assed a milestone birthday(actually sort of hard to avoid since Events are still a bit scary, like "here are some tickets...now with added fear of illness, you know. ) But still, at times like that, fuck that viking stoic bullcrap. I can kind of see why it was hard to be her bf.

Thrive to spite them
Truly I read that the armorer for the movie is young and had only led one other production so I wonder if her inexperience played a role. It also sounds like there were other problems on set before this happens that made it seem like it wasnt a well run production.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I read that the union crew walked off set the day before and they were running with quickly-hired non-union locals. The pitch hit "armorer" would not likely have known the standard protocol.
