I once thought he was a lousy pick to play Trump on SNL, but maybe I was wrong.

Baldwin was the first person I ever experienced being blocked by on Twitter, after he used his account with hundreds of thousands of followers to berate me for...writing about a fundraiser he’d hosted in a way he didn’t find satisfactory. https://t.co/EPwYYF8iPB

Most would think it is silly to post this, but one thing that really angers me, as a relatively low income driver in NYC, is a wealthy person fighting to take the few inexpensive parking spots available when they can afford exorbitant garage parking with valet service. There's something real sicko about that. And in the AP article I link to they quote him on another occasion as saying "I just can't live in New York anymore Everything I hated about L.A. I'm beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed". Well, in L.A. it's way more impossible to park without using a damn valet than it is in NY. So why doncha just shell out some of your bucks for the privacy, Alec, instead of getting into mano a mano parking rage?

there is a NYTimes report now and yup, it's clear that it was the classic brawl about an on street parking space, and he was cheating the standard etiquette by having someone trying to hold it for him:

The police said that someone was apparently holding a parking space for Mr. Baldwin, but that another car pulled into the space, on East 10th Street between University Place and Broadway. The police said the other driver, who is 49, and Mr. Baldwin, who is 60, got into an altercation.

the result

Mr. Baldwin was taken to a precinct house and was later issued a desk appearance ticket for misdemeanor assault and harassment.

Officers sent there in response to a 911 call found that the younger man, who was not identified, had an injury to his jaw. He was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital and was listed in stable condition.
