Molotov-Cocktail-Throwing Lawyers Are the Left’s New Civil-Rights Heroes
Mattis and Rahman are the lawyers who were caught on camera throwing a Molotov cocktail into an empty, already-vandalized NYPD patrol car in Brooklyn. After setting the vehicle on fire in full of view of the cops, they drove away in Mattis’s van and were quickly chased down and arrested. In their possession, officers found yet another Bud Light bottle turned into a homemade incendiary device and the makings of more in the back seat. Prosecutors later said Rahman had offered Molotov cocktails to other protesters, as well.
There could hardly be any doubt about their guilt. In addition to the police video of the firebombing itself, a photographer actually snapped a picture of Rahman, a 31-year-old attorney for Bronx Legal Services, leaning out of the window of the car holding an unlit Molotov cocktail. And shortly before the incident, Rahman gave a filmed interview to a journalist in which she vented her rage at the Floyd killing:

In the background of the interview footage, Mattis, a 32-year-old attorney, can be seen exiting a 7-Eleven carrying two bags that likely contain the beer bottles that would be used for the car bombing.
Well according to them, the police shouldn't be trying to catch them, as they are only exercising their right to freedom of exprression.
Then when say they resist and something goes wrong, they can sue law enforcement.
I'm thinking about the guy shot yesterday at the White House.
Anyone that says that guy should not have been shot, should be shot. You don't do what he did and expect to walk away.
The officer needs to get the the combat shooting range.
Molotov Cocktail-Throwing NYC Lawyer Offers New Cocktail in Her Own Defense: Vodka with a Dash of Islamophobia
According to court filings, Rahman is asking for a light sentence because, she says, she was very drunk on vodka on the night that she firebombed the police car, and making matters even worse, she is dealing with all kinds of “unprocessed trauma.” A good deal of it, her attorneys claim, stems from being taunted as a Muslim after 9/11. Vodka-and-Islamophobia is not as popular as vodka-and-tonic, but you never know, it might catch on.
Rahman’s lawyers say she was “numb, disassociated, and inebriated” back in May 2020 when she was spotted in the front passenger seat of her friend and getaway driver Colinford Mattis’ SUV, holding a Palestinian scarf over her face with one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other. Soon after that, she threw the firebomb into a New York City police car, but don’t you see, it was all about racism: “Tossing the Molotov cocktail was a way of expressing anger at those police officers around the country for whom Black lives did not matter,” her attorneys claim. “It was an act of protest intended to avoid exposing others to harm.”
How someone can throw a bottle filled with gasoline and topped with a burning rag into someone else’s car and then claim it was done in order to “avoid exposing others to harm” is beyond me, but then again, I haven’t suffered the way Urooj Rahman has. The court filing claims that “at 11, when the World Trade Center was attacked, Urooj experienced the harassment that was all too common for Muslims living in the city. She was called names (‘ugly Indian,’ ‘hairy monkey’) and begged her mother not to wear her hijab on the street.” A clinical psychologist and “leading expert on trauma,” Dr. Leslie Lebowitz, claims that this “compendium of adversity” left the young adult Urooj Rahman “without the ability to adequately manage and regulate her feelings” as well as “subject to incapacitating depression, panic and uncontrollable obsessional thinking.”
Because of all this and more that poor Urooj has suffered, her lawyers say she should be released (she’s under house arrest, with electronic monitoring), for “her conduct that night was a marked deviation from her otherwise exemplary life.” Meanwhile, the Washington Free Beacon explains that this “request for a special dispensation builds on a sweetheart deal already reached by Justice Department prosecutors in the case. In June, Rahman and Mattis entered into a second plea agreement that broke their potential 10-year sentences down to a maximum of 5 years. Prosecutors want Judge Cogan to go even lower, arguing for just 18 to 24 months based on the ‘history and personal characteristics of the defendants.’” We’ll see just how low Judge Cogan can go.
Molotov Cocktail Lawyers Disbarred
“Although the court’s order was released Tuesday, it retroactively dated the start of their disbarment to June 2”
The two lawyers charged with throwing a Molotov Cocktail at a police car during the George Floyd riots in New York have now been disbarred.
Most people believed this is what should happen, but in our current environment, it seems somewhat surprising that it actually did happen.
I'm sure there's always room for another barista at their local Starbucks.

Rahman asked not to be sent to prison at all.
“I’m so incredibly sorry for my reckless and wrong actions,” Rahman explained to U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan in a courtroom packed with supporters. “I don’t think there’s enough words to express my sorrow and regret. I completely lost my way in the emotion of the night.”
“You’re a remarkable person who did a terrible thing on one night,” Judge Cogan said, referring to Rahman’s choice to practice public interest law and battle social injustices. “It displays an amazing amount of arrogance. It’s just a very arrogant way to think.”
Cogan handed down a 15-month sentence to Rahman, who was also seen on video passing out firebombs to other rioters.
Rahman and Mattis are liberal domestic terrorist darlings of the commies, and lefties came out of the woodwork to support them in their crimes.
The Trump administration wanted Rahman and her accomplice charged with a domestic terrorism enhancement, which would have brought a 10-year sentence. But thanks to Biden’s love for Antifa terrorists, and a former Obama administration intelligence official, it was not to be.
