A$AP Rocky’s style on trial and the enduring appeal of court chic

The internet is salivating over A$AP Rocky again: the rapper has just been acquitted on two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm. The jury deliberated for just three hours yesterday before reaching the final verdict. It’s official: the only count on which he’s found guilty is looking “entirely too f***ing cool at court”.Not my words: Esquire’s. But I echo the sentiment. The charge for this “misdemeanour” is pure adoration: his wife Rihanna is ecstatic. Had he been found guilty of an actual crime, Rocky would have faced 24 years in prison. That’s 24 Met Galas without the world’s suavest man. The rapper’s courtroom strategy — or rather, styling — is something of a masterclass for those in court (Luigi Mangione, take note). Turning up in to your trial in perfectly tailored Saint La...

Canada moving to list criminal cartels as terrorist groups – National

With Canada’s new fentanyl czar now in place, Public Safety Minister David McGuinty said the next step in the fight against the opioid crisis is to designate criminal cartels as terrorist entities under the country’s Criminal Code. Speaking Wednesday at Toronto Pearson International Airport, McGuinty said that listing cartels as terrorist groups will give law enforcement, such as RCMP and local police, more authority and more powers to “follow the money and to look and see how criminal cartels are using sophisticated laundering tactics.”“Right now in downtown Toronto, there’s a gathering of the leadership of the Public Safety Department with Finance Canada, with our fentanyl czar, and with our senior RCMP folks.
