Lawyer Who Firebombed Cop Car for George Floyd Doesn't Want to Be in Jail Anymore

We’ve all been there: It’s Friday night, you’ve had one too many vodka shots, a black guy in a city 1,000 miles away just got killed by the cops, you’re sad and angry about a bunch of other stuff, and…

Well, okay. So maybe. Possibly. Perhaps… you firebombed one little police car. Out of all the law enforcement vehicles in the entire world, maybe one of them caught on fire because of your actions. Not 100. Not 10. Not even two. Just one single solitary teensy-weensy cop car.

Does that mean you should go to jail? For, like, years?

NEW: Attorneys for Urooj Rahman—the lawyer who firebombed an NYPD cruiser during the George Floyd riots in 2020—are asking she be released on "time served," saying she was drunk and dealing with "unprocessed trauma" at the time.

A left-wing lawyer who pleaded guilty to firebombing a police cruiser is asking for a commutation of her sentence, pointing to the fact that she was inebriated at the time of the offense and coping with “unprocessed trauma,” according to court filings.

Attorneys for Urooj Rahman argue the self-described human-rights activist was “numb, disassociated, and inebriated” when she threw a Molotov cocktail into a New York City police car during the George Floyd riots in May 2020. Lawyers say Rahman was also reeling from her many “abusive partnership relationships” and processing “early trauma” from being taunted as a Muslim after 9/11.

By name, Urooj Rahman, she/it appears to be of the Islamic faith. If so, they prohibit alcohol and such. So she is an apostate from her birth religion. So maybe drop her with parachute but no hijab over Iran? They might give her a molotov of her very own!

Not bad looking, either. But *nothing* cancels crazy. Nothing.

Unprocessed trauma? LOL! You have plenty of time to process it now, Toots.

If I get drunk and kill someone in a car accident I am still charged. There is no “drunk get out of jail free card.” I suspect she was cold sober and just a left-wing violent hater of the police.

She could have killed someone, in a horrible way no less.

Suck it up. You are exactly where you deserve to be, excuses notwithstanding.

She's a peaceful, caring, kind hearted activist working towards a kinder gentler society through non violent means. It was solely the booze that turned her into a depraved raging lunatic.🐂💩! in vino veritas
