"On Sean "Diddy" Combs's sentencing day, sidewalks outside Manhattan federal court were congested with the usual cast of characters for high-profile proceedings: people with nothing better to do than voice grievances unrelated to court. One man toted a fluorescent-green poster board that offered a reward for unorthodox medical assistance. "People FUCK N.Y. FBI I'm offering you ($975,000,000) to help me get these poison tracking devices inside my body right now on (National Television in The News)," stated the poster. It also listed his phone number and Instagram handle. Much of what was unfolding outside early on had little to do with the Diddy trial itself."
"One woman loudly complained about a psychologist - unclear if this shrink was an attendee or an influencer or a psychologist influencer in attendance - who was giving relationship advice. "She's like, do this, do that. Bitch, where's your ring?" A moment or so later, this woman gyrated and teased onlookers by tugging at her cutout tank top, as if she would flash them."
"A "Justice for Britney" proponent, present on verdict day, was also in attendance. A man with an "Israel Controls America" sign, sporting a black balaclava, was telling a streamer something to the effect of They hate Christians! And They hate white people! They! Someone in a full-body Clifford the Big Red Dog costume, adorned with steampunk-inspired goggles, had the word c- - - on his right hind paw and law on the other. The letters were made out of white tape."
Sidewalks outside Manhattan federal court were congested with protesters, eccentric performers, and onlookers during Sean "Diddy" Combs's sentencing. A man carried a fluorescent-green poster offering a multimillion-dollar reward to assist with alleged "poison tracking devices," and he listed contact details. A woman loudly criticized a psychologist-figure and later teased onlookers by tugging at her tank top. A "Justice for Britney" supporter, an "Israel Controls America" sign-bearer in a balaclava, and someone in a Clifford the Big Red Dog costume with taped obscenity and 'law' added to the spectacle. After Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50-month sentence, commentary outside ranged from topical reactions to promotional statements.
