  • Over 900 people have been arrested and charged in connection with the Capitol riot, according to Insider's database. 
  • A growing number of them have subsequently been charged with additional separate crimes, CBS News reported. 
  • The additional charges could complicate their efforts to get lenient sentences in their Capitol riot cases. 

A growing number of Capitol rioters facing federal prosecution have been charged for other unrelated crimes — from domestic violence to gun and drug charges — according to a review of DOJ records published by CBS News. 

In one instance, federal authorities said a Navy reservist went into "panic mode" after the Capitol riot and made $ 50,000 in firearms-related purchases, The Washington Post reported. Hatchet Speed, who was charged June in connection to the riot, was also indicted by a Virginia grand jury on three counts of unlawful possession of a silencer, per CBS News. 

Kene Lazo, another Capitol rioter, was arrested by federal authorities in May 2021 for being part of the insurrection but was arrested again three months later in Virginia on domestic violence charges, CBS News reported. 

Prosecutors used Lazo's domestic violence charge to get him a prison sentence, CBS News reported. In another case, police discovered guns and controlled substances when they searched Elias Costianes' Maryland home in connection to the riot, leading to further charges, the outlet reported. 

Insider has reported that so far, 910 have faced charges in connection to the January 6 insurrection. 

Michael Greenberger, a law professor at the University of Maryland told CBS News that the politicization of the prosecution of January 6 defendants could potentially increase their likelihood of ending up back in prison.

Additionally, these additional charges could make it harder for the defendants to get lenient sentences in their Capitol riot charges and could mean that other defendants could struggle to secure pretrial releases. 

Greenberger told CBS News that Trump's rhetoric "leaves these bad actors with little doubt that they will ultimately be forgiven—if not lionized."

He continued, "Reality, however, is likely to settle upon those guys when they are ultimately sentenced or re-sentenced to many years in jail."

Former President Donald Trump and his allies have praised the rioters. Trump has previously said he's "financially supporting" the rioters and would "very seriously" consider pardons for those arrested in connection with the riot if he's re-elected in 2024. 

"It's a disgrace what they've done to them," Trump said earlier this month.

The Secret Barrister went viral over the weekend for totting up all the crimes Kevin commits in the sequel, Lost In New York. It seems he could have been looking at several years behind bars if he was contending with English and Welsh law. The anonymous tweeter also pointed out offences carried out by other characters in an entertaining string of posts, including the kid’s parents.

The lawyer claimed Kevin could face up to four years in a young offenders institution.

Harry and Marv, meanwhile, could unsurprisingly be banged up for life.

The first mark against Kevin’s name comes within moments of the movie starting, with the Secret Barrister quipping: “And we’re off! Uncle Frank is in the shower! Kevin’s recording him! It’s voyeurism! Strike one! Frank is fully entitled to be livid.”

You can read the brilliant thread in full here, but in summary, it seems Kevin would face charges of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent.

“As the closing credits roll, let’s look at the rolling total when it comes to sentence,” the tweeter wrote.

“For conspiracy to murder a child, both Joe Pesci and Marv are looking at best at life with a min 30 yrs, maybe a whole life term. Abduction of a child with sadistic intent.

“For two counts of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent, Kevin, with the heavy mitigation of youth and the fact that he was, after all, being threatened by madmen, will nevertheless be found dangerous.

“Extended sentence of detention of 4 years plus 4.”

The parents don’t get away with it either.

“Negligent Mom and Skinflint Dad are both getting 8 months’ immediate custody for child neglect,” the barrister added.

“Given that their child could have been brutally killed, this is not a bad result for their barrister.”

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York is available on NowTV.

Legalizing POT was supposed to reduce crime, or so advocates argued. The theory was simple: As cannabis buyers beat a path to the nearest dispensary, the black market would dry up, and with it the industry’s criminal element. Indeed, a study recently published in The Economic Journal found that after medical marijuana was legalized in California, violent crime fell 15 percent.

Talk to authorities in California’s Emerald Triangle, though, and a different story emerges. This 10,000-square-mile area (which includes Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties) by some estimates grows 60 percent of the country’s marijuana. Ben Filippini, a deputy sheriff in Humboldt, told me that ever since California’s 1996 medical-marijuana initiative, violent crime in his jurisdiction has increased: “People are getting shot over this plant. All legalization did here was create a safe haven for criminals.” When I asked Trinity County’s undersheriff, Christopher Compton, what’s happened since a 2016 initiative legalized pot in the state, he said: “We haven’t seen any drop in crime whatsoever. In fact, we’ve seen a pretty steady increase.” Compton’s counterpart in Mendocino, Matthew Kendall, agreed: “We’re seeing more robberies and more gun violence.”

What’s going on? One factor is that legalization has led to a boom in the weed business, thereby increasing the supply of two things that tempt would-be thieves: the crop, and the cash it generates. The latter is particularly abundant, because while some credit unions and regional banks have begun accepting marijuana money, the big ones don’t. Cannabis is still illegal under federal law, and executives fear being charged with money laundering.

A second factor: California may have legalized pot, but not all growers want to be legal. Out of some 32,000 farmers in the region, only about 3,500 had applied for a license by the end of 2017. Some insist that complying with regulations is too costly. Others are evading taxes. Running an illegal “grow,” however, leaves them especially vulnerable to “dope rips” (theft of processed marijuana), precisely because thieves know such farmers will be unwilling to file a police report. Criminal syndicates, which are involved in many of these thefts, resell much of the plunder out of state.

Which brings us to a third factor: The post-legalization boom has led pot prices in California to plummet, and increased the incentive to sell the product out of state. A pound of marijuana that in 2015 went for $ 1,200 in-state sells today for just $ 300. In New York City, though, California weed fetches up to $ 3,000 a pound. Until marijuana is legalized nationally, such price discrepancies will surely remain, and criminal gangs will find their way to the Emerald Triangle.

For now, as thefts grow more brazen, many farmers are employing new security measures. Some use a company called Hardcar Distribution to carry their cash—and their harvest—in armored vehicles operated by teams of armed military veterans. Others are converting dollars into bitcoin or precious metals. “I watch Breaking Bad and Ozark for tips,” one pot grower told me. “It’s like educational TV.”

Who plays Dumbledore? https://briefnews.eu/fantastic-beasts-2-who-stars-in-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-who-plays-dumbledore/ https://briefnews.eu/fantastic-beasts-2-who-stars-in-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-who-plays-dumbledore/#respond Sun, 18 Nov 2018 12:00:32 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/fantastic-beasts-2-who-stars-in-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-who-plays-dumbledore/

Eddie Redmayne returns in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald as Magizoologist Newt Scamander. Scamander joined the Ministry of Magic, spending two years in the Office for House-Elf Relocation before joining the Beast Division. Early in life Scamander developed an interest in magical creatures, influenced by his mother’s breeding of hippogriffs.

In The Crimes of Grindelwald, Joshua Shea portrays a young Newt.

Jude Law joins the cast as a young Albus Dumbledore and Johnny Depp stars as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald who caused disruption in the wizarding world during the 1920s.

Callum Turner plays Newt’s older, more successful brother, aurora Theseus Scamander and Brontis Jodorowsky will take on the part of Nicholas Flamel.

There are a few new faces in this film, namely Leta Lestrange played by Zoë Kravitz and Claudia Kim plays Nagini.

The actress said: “It will be so interesting to see another side of Nagini. You’ve only seen her as a Horcrux.

“In this, she’s a wonderful and vulnerable woman who wants to live. She wants to stay a human being and I think that’s a wonderful contrast to the character.”

Newt’s friend from the previous film, such as Tina and Queenie Goldstein and muggle Jacob Kowalski will be returning to lend Newt a helping hand.

Jamie Campbell Bower and Toby Regbo will reprise their Harry Potter roles as young Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

And Jessica Williams, Derek Riddell, William Nadylam and Poppy Corby-Tuech are also on the cast.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second in five-film series and series producer has said each of the sequels will have its own distinct flavour.

He told Digital Spy: “This next film is different to the first, but each film will march to its own beat and have its own tone.

“I don’t yet know if the series will get darker, although all of them will be fun and entertaining.”

The Crimes of Grindelwald is set in London and Paris and of course the infamous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

According to Warner Bros: “JK Rowling wrote the [script] for the film, which opens in 1927, a few months after Newt helped to unveil and capture the infamous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald.

“However, as he promised he would, Grindelwald has made a dramatic escape and has been gathering more followers to his cause – elevating wizards above all non-magical beings.

“The only one who might be able to stop him is the wizard he once called his dearest friend, Albus Dumbledore.”

The latest installment in the huge Harry Potter franchise just flew into cinemas worldwide, probably by broomstick. More and more films are receiving digital releases at the same time. In fact, a new report today revealed that Aquaman will be released five days early to Amazon Prime members. What about Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald? Can people also watch it at home or on their mobile devices?

Can you download Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald on Amazon Prime or Now TV?

The answer is no, not yet. Any of the sites that are currently offering streams of the latest Harry Potter movie will be doing so illegally. They will only have access to pirated versions taken on mobile phones from inside the cinema. It may sound tempting but fans have been prosecuted in the past for downloading and streaming illegal versions of mobvies. The picture and sound quality will also be very poor.

How soon will Fantastic Beasts 2 be available to stream and download?

Fans will only have a few months to wait. The movie is already available to preorder and it is simple to calculate when it will be released.

Amazon and HMV UK are both already showing the film on their sites.

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them was released in the UK and US on 18 November 2016.

The Digital HD from Amazon Video and iTunes was released on March 7, 2017 and the DVD and Blu-ray releases followed on March 27. 

Fantastic Beasts 2 will almost certainly follow a similar pattern since it hit cinemas at exactly the same time as the first movie.

What is Fantastic Beasts 2 about?

The movie picks up some time after the first installment. Credence has somehow survived and gone to Paris in search of answers about his real family. Dumbledore, Grindelwald and the wizarding authorities all separately race to find him. Newt once again finds himself at the heart of matters that endanger not only the wizarding world, but the muggles as well.

Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald is out now in UK and US cinemas

The Fantastic Beasts films are set many years prior to the events of the Potter novels, which were a big-screen sensation from 2001 to 2011. Now, a new featurette – introduced by Jude Law and Eddie Redmayne – reveals how some of the characters and devices connect between the two properties.

Watch the brilliant new featurette above.

Jude Law plays Albus Dumbledore in the film; the part famously played by Richard Harris in the first two Potter movies and Michael Gambon thereafter.

Claudia Kim, meanwhile, is the human form of Nagini.

Inflicted with a Maledictus curse, fans know she will become a full-time serpent at some point; and become Voldemort’s sidekick.

Zoë Kravitz plays Leta Lestrange; who shares a surname with Helena Bonham Carter’s repugnant Bellatrix Lestrange in the Potter stories.

Fantastic Beasts 2 is out this week and has sharply divided critics thus far.

On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently has a 57% score, indicating a clear split between positive and negative reviews.

On one hand, The Hollywood Reporter enthused: “That the film remains enticing despite its evolving, still-pallid hero speaks to Rowling’s storytelling strengths.”

But on the other, New York Times complained: “Rowling has surrendered to her maximalist tendencies and so cluttered up the story that you spend far too much time trying to untangle who did what to whom and why.”

Big twists are expected to be revealed over the course of the running time, with Eddie Redmayne asking fans in a social media video to keep the spoilers to themselves.

It’s thought that as many as five Fantastic Beasts movies will be made. Two down, three to go.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is out on Friday.

Fantastic Beasts brought the magical world of Harry Potter to a whole new generation of fans.

Those who may not have grown up with the books were able to live the magic in a whole new way with the series of prequel movies penned by JK Rowling herself.

But with every new entry into a beloved canon, fans will become divided.

Here is what critics have to say about Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald.

Unfortunately for Harry Potter’s predecessors, The Crimes of Grindelwald is not faring well.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the sequel 57 percent, indicating mixed reviews, leaning ever so slightly positive.

The critics’ consensus reads: “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has glimmers of the magic familiar to Harry Potter fans, but the story’s spell isn’t as strong as earlier instalments.”

Michelle Jaworski at The Daily Dot gave it 2.5 out of five stars, and wrote: “It has more to say than its predecessor, but the message gets jumbled in the process, leaving viewers wanting more or at least a little more breathing room.”

Olly Richards at Time Out gave it three out of five but was also critical.

Richards wrote: “With its callbacks to the Potter universe and a lovely eye for detail, The Crimes of Grindelwald has bags of intermittent charm and a warm familiarity.

“But too often, it feels like a beast that’s been overburdened.”

Nicholas Barber at the BBC was less than impressed.

He called Fantastic Beasts 2: “An unfocused, overwhelming and ultimately numbing sprawl that seems to drag on forever.”

Likewise, Manohla Dargis at the New York Times said: “Rowling has surrendered to her maximalist tendencies and so cluttered up the story that you spend far too much time trying to untangle who did what to whom and why.”

Fionnuala Halligan at Screen International was kinder.

Halligan wrote: “There’s real magic here, and nothing fake about the emotions which guide it.”

Slightly positive, giving it three out of four stars, was Johnny Oleksinski who wrote: “In his second outing, Newt has proved himself a lovable lizard – er, wizard.”

Also giving it three out of four stars was Geoffrey McNab at The Independent, who wrote: “The film boasts an astonishing level of visual detail and inventiveness.”

Angie Han at Mashable was also left disappointed, and wrote: “While it is possible, if you squint very hard, to make out some of the deeper themes at play here…the real driving force behind Crimes of Grindelwald seems to be a burning desire to set up a sequel.”

However, The Hollywood Reporter’s Caryn James was impressed by the film.

James wrote: “That the film remains enticing despite its evolving, still-pallid hero speaks to Rowling’s storytelling strengths.”

Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald is out in cinemas on November 16, 2018.

A criminal investigation has been launched into allegations of anti-Semitic hate crimes within the Labour Party, the Metropolitan police have confirmed after receiving a complaint in September.

Cressida Dick, the Met Police chief, has told the BBC officers are now examining online material because it appears “there may have been a crime committed.”

The Guardian reports that radio station LBC received an internal Labour dossier detailing 45 cases that included messages posted on social media by party members. According to the paper, LBC handed the leaked documentation to former senior police officer Mak Chishty.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: “On Tuesday 4 September, the Met Commissioner was handed a folder of paperwork following a radio interview with LBC Radio in Leicester Square. The complainant alleged that the documentation included evidence of anti-Semitic hate crimes.

“The contents have been examined by specialist officers. A criminal investigation has commenced into some of the allegations within the documentation.

“Early investigative advice is being sought from the Crown Prosecution Service. The MPS will not comment further on the details of our investigation.”

Guardian columnist George Monbiot is the latest to decry Facebook’s increased censorship after a video he made, on the crimes of European colonialism, was taken down by the tech giant.

In his tweet, following the removal of the video Monbiot wrote: “Here’s our video about the airbrushing of colonial history, that @facebook has gone and airbrushed.”

The video, produced by Double Down News, shows Monbiot talking to the camera, and is intercut with often gruesome film clips, as he goes through colonial history detailing atrocities committed by Europeans.

The journalist tweeted that he had not received an “explanation or a right of appeal.” Going on to implore fellow journalists Owen Jones, Medhi Hassan, left-wing publication Novara Media and activist Peter Tatchell to retweet his video.

Monbiot’s video initially looks at the crimes of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus – namely his massacre and torture of natives on Hispaniola, modern day Haiti and Dominican Republic, in the late 15th century.

The video also covers the “British manufactured famine” which led to an estimated “at least 12 million deaths” in India. Monbiot states that Indians were driven into work camps, “where the inmates received the same rations as the inmates in [Nazi concentration camp] Buchenwald and where there was a 94 percent death rate per year.”

The journalist, known for his environmentalism, goes on to detail Britain’s more recent crimes of colonialism, focusing on the torture and internment in concentration camps of Kenya’s Kikuyu people. The Guardian writer details the gruesome torture methods, including castration, used by the British against Kenyans, adding that the papers documenting the crimes were burned.

In 2012, Mau Mau representatives, an anti-colonist military force predominantly made up of Kikuyu, sued the UK. The British government, in a rare legal victory for former subjects of the British Empire, accepted that prisoners had suffered “torture and ill-treatment at the hands of the colonial administration.”

Monbiot decries that the actoricities of colonialism have been “completely airbrushed from our national consciousness.”

The video comes amid fierce debate over Britain’s colonial legacy, with many talking up the benefits of the empire, while others, like Monbiot, are arguing that Britain needs to come to terms with its colonial era crimes.
