A pair of Brooklyn lawyers have now plead guilty to charges stemming from their alleged 2020 firebombing of a New York City Police car.
As The New York Times reports:
On a May night in 2020, two young lawyers — high achievers who had risen from working-class roots to prestigious schools and promising careers — joined thousands of others on the streets of Brooklyn to protest the murder of George Floyd.
What happened next stunned many of their friends: The lawyers, Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis, were arrested in an attack using a Molotov cocktail on an empty police car. Federal prosecutors brought stiff charges against them: seven counts, including arson and civil disorder, which collectively could have carried a 45-year minimum sentence. They also argued that the lawyers were dangers to society.
On Wednesday, Ms. Rahman, 32, and Mr. Mattis, 34, pleaded guilty in federal court in Brooklyn to one count apiece of possession of a destructive device, as part of a deal worked out between their lawyers and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn.
They could face up to 10 years in prison when they are sentenced on Feb. 8, though the judge, Brian Cogan, said that the date might change. A lawyer for Ms. Rahman, Paul Shechtman, said negotiations over the applicable sentencing range were still underway. One sticking point is that prosecutors have indicated that they would seek a so-called terrorism enhancement, which has typically been applied in cases related to mass destruction and which can extend a prison stay by decades.
Both suspects attended elite schools in the New York City Area and then attended Ivy League Universities.
Hope the left wing nut jobs go away for a long time..
The libby snow flake nut jobs will get a job in the white house .
I’ll believe it when I hear the sentencing. Not before.
As attorneys, this is a perfect opportunity for them to learn firsthand what the justice & prison system is like. It appears they will need every day of 45 years in prison to learn right from wrong.
Take a look at the 2 monkeys, aka attorneys OMA.
LISTEN UP…PEOPLE have to Be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for DESTROYING PROPERTY or ASSAULT or MURDER. LET the PUNISHMENT Fit the CRIME. SOME of the CAPITOL PROTESTERS are Being SEVERLY PUNISHED. The CAPITOL POLICEMAN got AWAY with MURDER. DEREK CHAUVIN was OVERCHARGED for an ACCIDENTAL SUICIDE and PREZ TRUMP was CHEATED OUT of HIS JOB. The DRUGS Crossing the BORDER are TAINTED. MORE AMERICANS will DIE. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
Tell it Sister!
Educate yourself about drugs and how they have won wars! England, United States, etc. It’s a drug run against America right now with Phet., CBD, Marij., tainted food and drugs!
Coming up for air – you mean to say that there have actually been some left-wing-ers who have been held accoun-table for their ter-ror-ism?
They should get the death penalty……go ahead and strap them in that seat and throw the switch….fry baby fry
globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep are never held accountable for their crimes .
Can’t thanks those in uniform enough for faithfully serving my community and doing a really great job while under so much pressure and unwarranted negativity.
Thank those in uniform that are not globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep .
What about their law license? Does that go away?
If they were conservative Republicans, they would get 45 years in a Fedl. pen and permanent loss of their law licenses. However, being left-wing liberals, they will get off with time served and a short-term, temporary restriction of their law licenses.
God, I hope not, they should be treated just like our Republicans have been treated.
Good, by the way Floyd was not murdered. John Lennon was MURDERED, MLK was murdered. Change the definition of MURDER like INFRASTRUCTURE
Lock them up
F#@Kin Leftist Punks! Hang them!
Don’t hold your breath. Hillary is still not in jail.
globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep terrorists may as well plead guilty and they will be released on 0 bail and the globalist puppet CRIMINAL judge will dismiss the charges .
Never saw this on NBC, CBS, CNN. I did see the anti-fa idiots destroy property with impunity in my own town. Disgusting and one guy died or was killed, don’t know which. The “socialists” let this kind of killing , looting, and destruction of property slide while whining about the protesters of the ballot stuffing win of the Dems in the Pres. election. They want to defund our police while hiding behind their own private “stasi”. Does it remind you of the Brownshirts and Shutzstaffel of an earlier era in Europe? Look out cuz it’s happening here !
Now far left wing judges will hand out the candy to them! Systematic processes. God bless America.
Probably be sent to Mexico where they can illegally enter the USA and get all the free benefits.
Terrorism… they incited and inflamed riots and the aftermath. It was intentional. They used their upper-class notoriety to promote Left-Wing atrocities, as depicted throughout the US. Go for the MAXIMUM penalty.
I guess they are “sophisticated”, given their scholastic histories and their employment resumes. This would point to “sophisticated elites” being code words for “barbarians”.
I find it hard to believe that anyone in the 2020 riots is actually being punished. ‘Bout time!
How many more far left lawyers do same nationwide in 2020?
Prosecute & disbar
First off, loser Floyd wasn’t murdered.
No matter what—they should NEVER be allowed to practice law ever again!
I JUST HOPE THEY ARE THE EXAMPLE TO PEOPLE THAT ACT LAWLESS.
CRIMINAL RECORD AND DISBAR THEM BOTH
This is the results of elite schools and ivy league colleges ? WOW, I WOULD DEMAND MY MONEY BACK !!!
They should go to jail for a long time, but in this current climate they will probably be our future Presidents and chief of staff.
