Two New York lawyers pleaded guilty on Wednesday to federal charges for their roles in a Molotov cocktail attack targeting an NYPD vehicle during the May 2020 Black Lives Matter protests sparked by George Floyd's death.

Prosecutors said one of the lawyers, Urooj Rahman, threw a gasoline-filled bottle into an empty police vehicle, attempted to distribute Molotov cocktails to others, and then fled in a minivan driven by Colinford Mattis.

Lock them up and throw away the key! And disbar them permanently.

If I remember correctly, Urooj Rahman is a woman.

Oh, no. Now I'm embarrassed in front of everybody here. All six of the Urooj's I knew in high school were guys but now I find this is a woman's name. Live and learn.

Well, it sure took long enough. They could have been arrested, tried and convicted immediately but I suppose it’s all because of COVID as is everything else. Being NYC, it’s kind of surprising that it took place at all. I remember it didn’t look like they’d be held accountable at the beginning.

I remember the event. I can’t say what I thought.

Changing documents in an FBI investigation was overlooked, that lawyer already has his license back.

Face up to 10 years in prison?

I doubt it. Closer to 10 months and maybe no prison time at all, depending on the judge.

I mean, it's not like they walked through the Capitol Building carrying American flags or something.
