Exactly No One Is Surprised Alec Baldwin Was Arrested for Punching Someone Over a Parking Space
In an unsurprising turn of events, Alec Baldwin got mad.
It isn’t news that Alec Baldwin has an anger problem. The Daily Beast is reporting that Baldwin punched someone in the West Village over a parking spot, which … okay, yeah, that sounds exactly like Alec Baldwin. In case you’ve forgotten, Baldwin’s anger has long been a source of news regarding the mediocre Trump impressionist.
He left a disgusting voicemail on his daughter Ireland’s phone when she was only 11 years old because she missed a phone call from him. So sure, checks out that Baldwin would punch someone over parking.
Of course, the internet has some thoughts on Baldwin’s offense, given the high profile of his recent bad opinions and Saturday Night Live Trump impression.
But maybe we need this important information about Alec Baldwin’s bagel moment to give us context to what happened:
I would like everyone to know that I saw Alec Baldwin just this morning on my walk to work, and he was feeding his kid a bagel.
Available for interviews if anyone wants to include this very important bit of info in your deep dive on the multidimensionality of celebrities https://t.co/I7mZKHN9gn

It’s becoming the new tourist attraction of New York City. Go see a show, walk the Highline, get punched in the face by the man imitating Trump on Saturday Night Live…
“The Central Park carriage ride sounds great, but if we only have time for one thing after Top of the Rock, I’d really like to get punched by Alec Baldwin.”

A concern that many have isn’t the punching but, more so, that a) Alec Baldwin tried to drive in New York City, and b) he drove the car himself.
Alec Baldwin parks his own car?

The New Yorkers’ responses to the punching were exactly as you’d expect.
If Alec Baldwin punched a head-in parker then I think the case should be dismissed.

Maybe we should just cast Bobby Cannavale as the new Donald Trump.
Maybe if Alec Baldwin were like Bobby Cannavale and found a certain zen during alternate-side parking days this wouldn’t have happened.

At the end of the day, we’ll always have Alec Baldwin and his anger problem that he doesn’t seem to take any actions towards fixing.
Sometimes I feel like Alec Baldwin’s anger management problem is the only thing we have left.

Hopefully Saturday Night Live has a failsafe plan for when their Trump acts like … well, Alec Baldwin. Maybe they’ll let an actual cast member play the part instead of relying heavily on random celebrity guests!
