NY Post readers sound off on Alec Baldwin’s manslaughter trial and more.
Smoking gun
There’s enough past evidence to show Alec Baldwin is narcissistic and arrogant, even belligerent at times (“Supporting actor Alec,” July 11).
Had he demonstrated true remorse for allegedly negligently shooting Halyna Hutchins, instead of adamantly denying responsibility, a reasonable deal might have been arrived at.
Now, as his trial begins, Baldwin’s classic hubris might be his Achilles Heel.

I was puzzled by The Post Editorial Board’s attack on the British election: Far from showing the differences between the United States and United Kingdom, it highlights its similarities (“You’ve Got Electoral College Gripes?” Editorial, July 8).
The biggest difference is that the United Kingdom has stronger third parties than the United States, as the far-right Reform Party just demonstrated.
But even the United States is not immune from this phenomenon. During the 2020 presidential election, President Biden’s margins of victory in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were smaller than the number of votes for the Libertarian Party and other write-ins.
