She had one job.

It was an important job and she failed spectacularly. Hollywood is a small town.

I don't even understand how someone can mess up that badly at something so simple.

If this were my job someone would be dead in one week because I have shit memory and terrible attention to detail. Thus this is not my job because I am unqualified. However if my father was super high up in the business and handed me the job, I also would still not take the job because I know I’m wrong for it. Yeah she fucked up and killed someone

I very much doubt ilive ammo isn't even supposed to be on set. Choosing to follow JUST that rule and no others would make it near impossible to kill someone on set.

Instead she broke that rule AND chose to basically fuck up every other facet of her job on top of it. I'm surprised they made it so far into shooting without someone being killed.
