Arbery’s Murderers Found Guilty of Federal Hate Crimes

“Ahmaud Arbery was lynched in broad daylight,” said the NAACP’s president, “and today’s verdict brings us one step closer to justice.”

This is a developing story… Please check back for possible updates…

A jury on Tuesday found three white men who murdered unarmed Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery guilty of federal hate crimes.

Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. “are accused of interfering with Arbery’s right to use a public street because of his race as well as attempted kidnapping,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitutionreports. “The McMichaels are also accused of using weapons during a crime of violence because both were armed during the deadly chase.”

The verdict came about three months after the trio was found guilty of murdering the 25-year-old Black man in the Satilla Shores neighborhood of Brunswick, Georgia on February 23, 2020. They were each sentenced to life in prison last month and only Bryan was given the possibility of parole.

Ben Crump, a nationally recognized civil rights attorney who represented the Arbery family, has said that the murder was “so reminiscent of the motivations for lynchings.” Crump on Tuesday welcomed the development, joined by Ahmaud Arbery’s parents, Wanda Cooper-Jones and Marcus Arbery.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Cooper-Jones called out the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for proposed plea deals with the McMichaels that were ultimately rejected by U.S. District Judge Lisa Wood.

“They ignored my cry,” Cooper-Jones said of members of the Justice Department directly involved in the case. “I begged them.”

“That’s not justice for Ahmaud,” she said of the DOJ’s attempted plea deals. “What we got today, we wouldn’t have gotten today if it wasn’t for the fight that the family put up.”

“The guilty verdict of the three murderers of Ahmaud Arbery of hate crimes is a precedent-setting verdict,” Rev. Al Sharpton tweeted Tuesday. “Even in the Deep South the feds will convict you of hate actions. I salute Ahmaud’s parents for forcing the trial.”

NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement that “two years ago today, none of us knew of Ahmaud Arbery. But two years ago tomorrow, his story shook the conscience of our nation and world. Ahmaud Arbery was lynched in broad daylight, and today’s verdict brings us one step closer to justice.”

Ben Jealous, president of People for the American Way, declared that “this is a just verdict for three men that chased, cornered, and killed Ahmaud Arbery.”

“This is the kind of accountability we must have to address the ongoing terror of white supremacy that’s reigned in our country for hundreds of years, where Black people can be killed with impunity,” Jealous added. “We must continue to fight for justice for every American who has been the victim of white domestic terrorism and the injustice it fosters.”

Others also recognized the fight ahead. As the advocacy group NARAL Pro-choice America put it: “This shred of justice only points to a larger problem, how insidious white supremacy and white supremacist violence is within this country.”

The jury in the case consisted of eight white members, three Black people, and one Hispanic person, according to the Journal. They deliberated for less than four hours.

“I, as a mom, will never heal,” said Cooper-Jones. “We got a victory today, but there’s so many families who don’t get victories.”

Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett prove a Dangerous Pair in Thriller ‘Nightmare Alley’

Video

Despite the title of the upcoming film, “Nightmare Alley”, the new Bradly Cooper / Cate Blanchett starrer is not a horror movie or anything in the realm of the otherworldly or comic book are fantastical. Instead, it’s a very different type of movie, which perhaps less surprising once you take into account that it is the newest work from Guillermo del Toro who is best known for his supernatural films like “The Shape of Water” or the franchise “Hellboy”.

In this outing, it’s a somewhat obscure genre; a larger-than-life-update to a 40s noir classic with a unique aesthetic, perhaps more fitting for 2021.

Perhaps, given the star studded cast, it aims for academy cred, such as last years “Mank” without the obvious Orson Wells connex.


The official “Nightmare Alley” synopsis from Searchlight Pictures reads: “When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society.

With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.”

The remake of the 1947 film noir classic, inspired by the 1946 novel of the same name. The official trailer gives viewers a sneak peak at the upcoming creepy psychological thriller that will premiere in theaters December 17.

Matt Damon Returns to Europe as oil-rig worker in Dramatic thriller “Stillwater”

Video

Stillwater / Focus Features

Coming from Focus Features, “Stillwater” follows an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to the French city Marseille, to see his daughter, who is now in prison for a murder she said she did not commit.

Matt Damon stars as the father, Bill Baker, who at every turn is confronted with obstacles; language barrier, cultural clashes and navigating complicated foreign legal systems. No matter, Baker immerses himself into life on the other side of the world in order to exonerate his daughter.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Director Tom McCarthy explains Damon’s character – “He’s a guy that’s had a difficult life, he’s struggled, but he sort of tried to make amends and do what’s right, I think, when we meet him”.

This dramatic thriller will be in theaters only starting July 30th, 2021. Directed by Tom McCarthy, the Oscar Award winning filmmaker responsible for “Spotlight”. Along with Damon, the film stars Abigail Breslin and Camille Cottin.

Echoes of the Amanda Knox ordeal, as well as “Taken” with Liam Neeson come to mind but neither quite fit, which is a good thing. Not even gonna mention the Bourne Identity connections! Check it out below for yourself and see if it feels derivative or original and if Matt is inhabiting the cowboy-esque character in an interesting way…

Trump’s Lawyers submit Legal Docs: Misspelling ‘United States’ – Twice

Downhill from the start, with proofreading as optional

The defense team for Trump issued a response for his upcoming impeachment trial to the House of Representatives last week.  The document was widely mocked because the article, besides having questionable content, had egregious grammatical and spelling errors (within the first page).

The major spelling error, on the first page, addressed members of the “Unites” (instead of United) State Senate. 

The same mistake! Again! “Unites” States: (fix your spell checker and proofread?)

Less than a week after submitting their initial legal brief, the 78-page brief, again referred to the country Trump used to be a President as “Unites States”.

Within the initial filings, the newly installed attorneys to lead the impeachment trail: Bruce Castor and David Schoen argued that former president Trump should not face impeachment relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection because he is out of office. 

From the Independent: They’re also reminiscent of the president and his allies’ chaotic legal effort to overturn the legitimate election results, where lawyers backing the president bungled basic composition somewhat regularly, once writing “DISTRCOICT” instead of “district,” and submitting another lawsuit with a promise it contained “plenty of perjury.”

The legal team continued using Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 presidential election was “suspect”.

https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1356698300406239239?s=20

Another element that Trump’s defense is using is that the his freedom of speech was protected under the First Amendment. 

“The actions by the House make clear that in their opinion the 45th President does not enjoy the protections of liberty upon which this great Nation was founded, where free speech, and indeed, free political speech form the backbone of all American liberties,” the legal memo says. 

Twitter users were quick to respond back that someone’s rights to the First Amendment does have limits, one of which is a violent insurrection.

Night Stalker hits #3 on Netflix: Series Delves into Mid-eighties Crime Spree

Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer / Netflix 

Streaming started January 13.  This historical limited series is a documentary that follows the young detective Gil Carrillo and legendary homicide investigator Frank Salerno as they work expeditiously to catch the “Night Stalker”. Beneath the sunlit glamour of 1985 LA lurks a relentlessly evil serial killer. In this true-crime story, two detectives won’t rest until they catch Richard Ramirez, who was eventually arrested for his terrible crimes.

A gradual climb up the internal Netflix chart has kicked the limited series up to #3 for the weekend. The quality of the presentation seems to be the draw and the time frame that it deals with – the mid-eighties – has been au du jour of late – with Wonder Woman 1984 and other films that focus on that unique decade and its zeitgeist. Check out the trailer below if you want a taste:

Warner Bros. police thriller ‘The Little Things’: When to watch in theaters and HBO Max

Video
https://movietrailers.apple.com/movies/wb/the-little-things/the-little-things-trailer-1_h1080p.mov

Above: Official Trailer of ‘The Little Things’

Another serial killer thriller- how will this latest release stack up?

Another anticipated  HBO Max movie from Warner Brothers is “ The Little Things”. The movie stars not one, but three Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto. Denzel Washington plays a Kern County Deputy Sheriff, Joe “Deke” Deacon, who joins forces with homicide sergeant Jim Baxter played by Rami Malek to search for a serial killer who’s terrorizing Los Angeles.

As they track the culprit, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than just his case.  Jared Leto , plays a menacingly creepy Albert Sparma, a stringy hair, electrical repairman who is pegged as the suspected serial killer.

Those that got an early viewing of the movie have made mention that the film has elements of other serial killer movies including: “Seven” and “Zodiac”. As always, there are those that liked the movie and talk-up its all-star cast, while others have given it low ratings claiming it just did not hit the mark. Those that have the HBO Max streaming platform will get the chance to watch for a month after its release which is scheduled for the end of the January (2021).

Writer-director John Lee Hancock has been waiting over 20 years to put his neo-noir script of a classic Hollywood case onto the big screen. The film is set in the 1990’s and plays tribute to the old school nature of detective work, before cell phones and technological advances like DNA profiling became commonplace with investigative police work.

“The Little Things” debuts in theaters on January 29, and isavailable on the HBO Max streaming platform for 30 days from that date (as will be the case for all 2021 Warner Bros. theatrical titles).

Nashville RV Explosion Surveillance Video and Possible Motives being Investigated

Video
https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1342513638201028609/pu/vid/320x240/r4E1XEAPO4kZMLGA.mp4?tag=10
Surveillance footage of the RV with Warning and the Explosion

At 6:30.02 am precisely on December 25th 2020 an explosion occurred, caused by an RV, rigged to explode, parked next to the  AT&T transmission building at 166 2nd Avenue North in downtown Nashville. 15 minutes prior to the explosion a loud audio recording of a woman’s voice blasted from the recreational vehicle, warning to evacuate. The voice indicated that there was a bomb that was going to go off in 15 minutes.

The massive explosion that followed shattered windows and damaged several buildings near the AT&T building. Initially there were reports of shots fired and police responded. Reports of gunfire being heard by witnesses in the area were countered, seemingly, by the authorities indicating that no evidence has yet surfaced of any gunfighting.

However, the RV was recognized as suspicious and, after hearing the warning recording begin and the voice saying that an explosion was coming in 15 minutes (in a count down format), the officers, risking their own lives, evacuated as many local residents as possible before the explosion.

According to local officials, 41 buildings were damaged and one partially collapsed. The area is cordoned off and no one will be allowed in until at least Sunday afternoon.

Based on surveillance cameras in the area the RV arrived at 1:22 am. No footage has surfaced of anyone in the RV or leaving the scene. Although there are reports of human remains it is not yet determined if this is related to the alleged perpetrators or even if the remains are related to the bombing.

“Intentional Bombing” has been the most definitive headline so far attempting to ascribe any motive or meaning to the event.

On Twitter, naturally, the speculation has begun, and in this case it bears consideration. The fact that various communication capabilities were put out of commission as a result of the blast has led to questions as to the intention of whomever set off the bomb.It has been speculated that it could be a “test” of some sort, since various groups have threatened to disrupt communications recently.

Another obvious possible explanation is suicide, although it has been pointed out that this was a highly sophisticated and elaborate way to achieve that relatively simple objective, if that were the case. As to AT&T being the target there is no doubt that theory is currently under investigation.

On the further fringe of speculation is the supposed connection between the voting machines and the company that makes them, Dominion, and Trump’s lawsuits and claims of voter fraud. This series of tweets, without specifically putting forth any unsubstantiated theories, brings up a series of interesting observations pointing toward the high significance of finding out much more detail on the motives and perpetrators behind the blast:

And then there was this (!) The mayor laughing repeatedly about what he seems to feel is a funny explosion. No idea what to make of this, perhaps overwhelmed guy nervously chuckling but it does not instill confidence in an emergency to have the cities mayor joking about a tragic explosion that may have been an act of terrorism…

One of the most compelling and adored superstars in Latin music history, Selena was nothing short of a phenomenon who shared all of herself with her millions of devoted fans. Her tragic murder, at the age of twenty-three, stripped the world of her talent and boundless potential, her tightly-knit family of their beloved angel, and her husband, Chris Perez, of the greatest love he had ever known.

For over a decade, Chris held onto the only personal thing he had left from his late wife–the touching and sometimes painful memories of their very private bond.

Memes are Multiplying after Wacko-witness Astounds in Hearing on Alleged Voter-Fraud

Video

Rudy Giuliani’s “star” witness brings about all the LOLs

Late night hosts: Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel all weighed in on the very absurd testimony given in Michigan. No one knew the name Melissa Carone before Dec. 1, but the now viral videos will undoubtedly be turned into memes and SNL sketches very soon.

https://bit.ly/33I8xQ0

Above: Amy Schumer does her, yes very funny, rendition!

“It’s not a good sign when Rudy Giuliani has to lean over and go, ‘You’re making a fool of yourself.’”

— JIMMY FALLON

“I’ve watched this clip around 14 times now; I’m still not convinced she’s a real person.”

–JIMMY KIMMEL

“She concluded her testimony by saying: ‘I would like to speak to America’s manager. I’ll wait.’”

–STEPHEN COLBERT

“What are the odds she’s wearing a ‘Rosé All Day’ tank top under that scarf?”

–JIMMY KIMMEL

“Once again, that was their star witness. Where does Rudy keep finding these people, LinkedInsane?”

— JIMMY FALLON

“I don’t know that woman, but I can guarantee you her Uber rating is below two stars.”

Carone’s Testimony on the alleged Voter Fraud is like as kit from out of ‘SNL’

Even if Rudy Giuliani will retire from all the recent comedy he has provided, the baton has been passed Ms. Carone. With her “talent” and flair for the dramatics, we can all look forward to many more years of comedic rants from this oversight committee hearing.

It’s hard not to immediately compare the insanity that was called a testimony and not compare it to performances on “Saturday Night Live”. Specifically like the above video that hilariously showcases Cecily Strong’s drunk girl character.

Bryan Cranston in Showtime’s ’Your Honor’: Judge for yourself how it stacks up to ‘Breaking Bad’

Can this Tangled web of political and criminal drama entrance for 10 episodes? 

Emmy award winner, Bryan Cranston, most popularly known as his character Walter White in the television series “Breaking Bad” is back for a new series. 

The upcoming dramatic crime limited series will be on the premium channel Showtime.  The miniseries “Your Honor” premiers Sunday, Dec 6 at 10/9 c.  Users that subscribe to Showtime via Amazon Prime video can also watch from there. 

The premise of the show as provided by Showtime, is about  Michael Desiato, a New Orleans judge played by Cranston, who is forced to confront his own deepest convictions when his son Hunter played by Hunter Doohan is involved in a hit and run that involved an organized crime family.

 As a storm of vengeance, lies and deceit threatens his whole world, Michael faces a series of increasingly impossible choices.  The show posits the moral dilemma, and uncovers just how far an honest man and father will go to save his son’s life. 

“It’s never clean, and that’s what makes good drama,” Cranston says. “It’s a very exciting and compelling spiral of events played out in 10 episodes.”

The miniseries has already started to trickle out reviews, some of which have said that it is bad, however most are comparing apples to oranges to his extraordinary work playing a high school chemistry teacher turned drug lord. Check out this weekend and see for yourself.
