White woman who attacked police officers with firebomb blamed ‘black man’ for giving her the materials until her white accomplice confessed

Samantha Shader, a 27-year-old white woman, was arrested on charges of throwing Molotov cocktails at an NYPD vehicle occupied by four officers at a protest following the death of George Floyd in late May. She faces charges including use of explosives to commit a felony, arson, and use of a destructive device.

Shader’s actions were caught on tape and she admitted to throwing the makeshift explosive but claimed three “Black” strangers had approached her on the street and given her the bottle. But this past Friday, July 3, police arrested a white man who admitted to federal authorities he’d given Shader the materials for the firebomb. Timothy Amerman, a 29-year-old painter, now faces up to 10 years of prison time if he is convicted on charges of civil disorder or civil disorder conspiracy.

Although Shader’s story about a group of Black people giving her the Molotov cocktail gear is false, her account of the encounter is fairly detailed. She said the man who gave her the bottle was a “thicker guy’ with his hair in “skinny dreads,” of different colors. She said the second man was wearing a hat and that the woman who was with them had “poofy” hair. Shader says she felt important at the time because she was the only white person around, and took the bottle.

No one in the police vehicle Shader targeted was injured, and the officers escaped the van to apprehend her. Prosecutors say Shader bit an officer’s leg as they took her into custody.

Upon searching Shader’s vehicle, police found a note with Amerman’s fingerprints on it that said: “I found a few more glass bottles than I thought I had, though still not many. I’m giving you my mask in hopes that helps. Wish I had more. There’s also a bag in here for you. BE SAFE Please. Really Good Luck, – Love Tim.”

Amerman told police he gave Shader “projectiles to throw at police and counter-protesters.”

According to federal agencies, the accomplices regularly post anti-police memes on Facebook. Shader posted that “Black people should be allowed to burn down the country thew built for free, and Amerman said in a post from late May that cops are “Tax collectors with guns. Wife beaters. Murderers.”

Amerman is currently being held in Albany, New York, as he waits to face his charges, and Shader, who has been arrested 11 times before, faces life in prison.

Is this the one that some prominent journalists bailed out of jail for a while?

Bit the officer? I sure hope the poor officer does not get rabies.

Take a moment and visualize one, or more, of these police officers, completely engulfed in flames, jumping from the vehicle. The Left would cheer their screams.

This woman and her accomplice need to go away for a looong time.

“...claimed three “Black” strangers had approached her on the street and given her the bottle.”

Isn’t that like racist or something?

That’s ALWAYS the first image I have when I read about this incident. God was smiling on these officers that day.

“”Is this the one that some prominent journalists bailed out of jail for a while?””

You’re thinking of the two attorneys (a guy and a woman) who were arrested for the same thing, I think. This woman is also mentioned in this article...

I don’t agree with Malcom X on nearly everything, but he views about white liberals are well-known among the black community.

Somewhere around 15 years in prison, with another ten to go...some common sense will begin to occur with this idiot. So much time wasted with no gain in their life.

White Liberal elites have been playing the black community for fools forever... guess this witch is just taking that to the next level. She's evil ... and had taken us back to the Jim Crow South - where white democrat 'elites' blamed everything on the black community.

A molotov cocktail is a bomb. She deserves jail for life.

Well, with any luck she’ll be in prison so long that she’ll be past the age to be able to procreate. Though, I doubt that I could hit that - except with a baseball bat.

What’s Laz’s verdict? Could he get drunk enough to do it?

Well, I guess 12th time's the charm. I hope they do put her away for the rest of her useless life. Not sure why she isn't being charged for attempted murder as well...

In her defense, TalcumX is white, so, probably an easy mistake to make.
