Yesterday we discussed the four arrests associated with two attacks on New York police officers using Molotov cocktails. It is now being reported that one of the defendants arrested, Colinford Mattis, 32, is a furloughed Pryor Cashman associate. Mattis is a graduate of New York University and Princeton University. He was reportedly arrested with a second attorney in the attack. Mattis is accused of driving a van and passenger Urooj Rahman, 31, threw a Molotov cocktail. Rahman is reportedly a human rights lawyer but also recently lost her job.
An NYPD surveillance camera reportedly recorded Rahman throwing the device toward a NYPD vehicle in Fort Greene. A video showed her getting out of a tan 2015 Chrysler Town and Country minivan driven by Mattis and moving toward the patrol car. She was observed lighting a fuse on a Bud Light beer bottle and throwing it through a broken window. It exploded inside of the vehicle and the two fled.
The FBI statement included the following description:
“Officers pursued the minivan and arrested Rahman and Mattis, who was the vehicle’s driver. The NYPD recovered several precursor items used to build Molotov Cocktails, including a lighter, a bottle filled with toilet paper and a liquid suspected to be gasoline in the vicinity of the passenger seat and a gasoline tank in the rear of the vehicle.”
They are now charged with causing damage by fire and explosives to a police vehicle. If convicted, each of them faces up to 20 years behind bars. There is a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years.
The specific provision charged appears to be 18 U.S.C. 844 (i):
“Whoever maliciously damages or destroys, or attempts to damage or destroy, by means of fire or an explosive, any building, vehicle, or other real or personal property...

Disbarment...
Just trying to drum up a little business.
The worthy attorneys might be able to beat any state charges. The federal charges will be a little tougher.
Better call Saul.
“Disbarment...”
Funny you said that. I was just about to post my opinion that the New York Bar Association will shortly issue a statement of support for these two terrorists.
Disbarment prior to due process.... let’s surround their homes and hassle their family members with threats......handle it the same way the cop in Minneapolis was treated...
Just joshing..... we have to follow the rule of law for these idiots....
The LONGER the sentence the BETTER!
Affirmative action at law school. Obviously neither one had the skill to advance their position using the law. They should both be disbarred
They both made bail.
Shouldn’t the ATF file charges too, or is there still a backlog of law abiding gun owners for them to entrap...
Lazlo type attorneys ?
The NYPD recovered several precursor items used to build Molotov Cocktails, including a lighter, a bottle filled with toilet paper ....
= = =
Precursors???
Explains why all the toilet paper disappeared.
“a human rights lawyer”
Shouldn’t she know better.../s?
They will be disbarred but won’t care. They have just created an irresistible resume that will guarantee them high paying jobs at CNN or the DNC.
Oh Urooj I love you so much ...kiss me baby
What a weird name
The male is a black man prolly AA grad hire
Using bud light bottles
Urooj my new love is kinda cute in a Nag Paneer sorta way
Should have just shot them and be done with it.
“They have just created an irresistible resume that will guarantee them high paying jobs at CNN or the DNC.”
And professorships at prestigious law schools.

It’s understandable; they’re lawyers.
