Alec Baldwin arrested in New York after alleged fight
2018-11-03
[The Hill] The 60-year-old actor ‐ who won an Emmy Award last year for his portrayal of President Trump on NBC’s "Saturday Night Live" ‐ was arrested Friday, a New York Police Department (NYPD) spokeswoman tells ITK.

An argument over a parking spot allegedly led to a man being punched after getting the space that was in dispute.

"Upon arrival, officers observed a 49-years-old male conscious and alert with injury to his left jaw," the NYPD said in a statement. The man is listed in stable condition, New York officials say.
"49-years-old male conscious and alert" and talking with his legal team.
Baldwin "was arrested and charges are pending" with an investigation ongoing.

In addition to playing him on TV, Baldwin is one of Hollywood’s most outspoken critics of Trump.

The president has blasted Baldwin’s "SNL" impression of him before, calling it "terrible."

Moments after news of Baldwin's arrest emerged, Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, "I wish him luck."

His son Donald Trump Jr., however, had harsher words for the former "30 Rock" star on Twitter, calling him a "piece of garbage."
I'm going with Don Jr's assessment.

#9  It's interesting. FB is actively squashing discussion of this when they don't other stuff. You can not discuss a beloved actor of the censor?

#7  The thing I like about Baldwin is you can always count on him to be a jerk.

#5  A celebrity that hits someone is asking to be sued. You would think he'd have learned that much by now.

#4  You got to have an 'interesting' ego to be an actor or a performer. What's normal, to us, is rare in their avocation. When they congregate, that's their 'normal' and they wonder why we are so deplorable different.

#2  Despise Baldwin. But we have all has some ass hat steal a parking space. Punching the car would have made the point too. Recalling decades ago when we were clearly waiting for a space and a gremlin jerk cut us off and took the spot. His driver's side mirror was left nicely on the pavement for him to retrieve upon his return.

#1  This is the man who left a profanity-laced tirade as a message to his 10 year old daughter. How on Earth does the man even have a career after that?

Oh, right, Trump. ORANGE MAN BAD makes it OK to berate little kids.
