INTRO: Police arrested two suspects on Thursday in connection with a hate crime against three transgender women on Los Angeles' Hollywood Boulevard. The violent incident was caught on video on Monday, with a man yelling derogatory slurs, allegedly robbing them and attacking one woman with a bottle. Others in the video could be seen looking on, joking about the attack and filming it. The department described the primary suspect as a homeless man based in the Hollywood area who police officers said they recognized from previous encounters.

Carlton Callway has been charged with robbery with a hate crime enhancement, while Willie Walker was charged with extortion. A third suspect, Davion Williams, has yet to be arrested, police said.

Steve Lurie said at a press conference to announce the arrests. "He's a homeless person here in Hollywood that some of our officers recognized."

The department posted video of the incident that showed the face of the man, but later removed the video due to its disturbing nature. Instead, officials posted screenshots from the video, highlighting the suspect in the hope of tracking him down... (MORE - details)

Rose McGowan unleashes fury against Joe Biden, Democrats: 'You are monsters, frauds' ("Charmed" community)
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/ro...ers-frauds

EXCERPTS: Rose McGowan blasted Joe Biden and the Democratic Party [...] in a series of tweets in which she dubbed them all "frauds." The actress and activist, 46, who has stood behind Biden assault accuser Tara Reade and blasted Hollywood stars for their support of the Democratic presidential nominee, made her distaste for Biden loud and clear as she ripped his speech in which he described America as a "cloak of darkness" under Trump.

[...] "You are the season of darkness. @JoeBiden @dnc You are monsters. You are frauds. You are the lie," McGowan reacted on the social media platform. She went on to question the Democratic Party's ability to create change and provide support for citizens facing racial inequality, economic issues and police brutality. "What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING. Why did people vote Trump? Because of you motherf---kers," she wrote.

McGowan also fired back at her followers who critiqued her views. "And if you can’t see that I’m dragging everyone to force them to be better & hold them accountable then you are delusional," she tweeted. McGowan, who has in the past also ripped President Trump, confirmed that she doesn't like him either.

[...] She also slammed others who referred to her as a "white feminist" for her views. In April, the actress made headlines after posting a teary-eyed selfie along with a missive lamenting the Democratic establishment and the media following the fallout from the sex assault allegations against Biden. “I used to be a proud Democrat,” the 46-year-old shared. “I used to be a proud American.”

[...] She went on to say that she had been raised on the idea that the Democratic Party “were the good guys” and that she felt “really quite a sense of loss.” McGowan also previously shined a light on her negative experience in Hollywood since the exposure of now-disgraced movie mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein. She previously accused Weinstein of rape and has since become a vocal critic of the industry... (MORE - details)

You've got to hand to McGowan. Aside from her criticism of Biden and Democrats having so much more impact, coming from someone squarely on the left, she seems to have principles that are not swayed by political expediency, in contrast to Milano.
