Beer bandit BLM protester who downed elderly couple's drink at Pittsburgh restaurant and screamed 'f*** the white people' is charged with harassing diners along with two others
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]  Three people are now facing criminal charges for harassing diners at a restaurant in Pittsburgh during a Black Lives Matter protest over Labor Day weekend. Misdemeanor charges were filed against Monique Craft, 35, Kenneth McDowell, 33, and Shawn Green, 24, on Monday. It's unclear whether they've been taken into custody. A viral video showed the trio and other protesters screaming 'f*** the white people' and yelling other obscenities at diners outside the Sienna Mercato restaurant on Penn Avenue on September 5. Craft was dubbed the 'beer bandit' after being seen swiping a drink from an elderly white couple and downing it in front of them before another protester knocked the glass to the ground.
Police identified McDowell as the 'ringleader' and said he used a megaphone to scream obscenities at diners sitting outside Sienna Mercato and others passing by, as seen in the video. McDowell was also accused of getting into an alteration with a McDonald's manager in another protest video that went viral. Craft has been charged with disorderly conduct, conspiracy and theft by unlawful taking after allegedly admitting to chugging the couple's beer. McDowell is charged with possessing instruments of crime, conspiracy, disorderly conduct and harassment, and Rulli is charged with disorderly conduct, conspiracy, criminal mischief and simple trespass.
