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.

Well, okay, then...................
Was she disbarred?
Do the crime, do the time too much to ask for? /s
Tuese women want men jailed for looking at them.
She got hardly any time.
Yes, whenever I’m accused of fire-bombing, I always just say I was drunk. Then they just let me go with a warning.
LMAO!
She was facing 45 years in prison (when Trump was in office). But Biden has reduced it to 2 years max.

And yet, she didn't firebomb her own house. Weird.
“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.”
I remember a time when I was stressed by my Physics and Calculus courses, dumped by a girlfriend, and called a “wop” by some guy in the bar where I was getting drunk, but all I did was pee in an alley.
Just thinking out loud?
H.I. : No, sir. That’s one bonehead name, but that ain’t me any more.
Parole Board chairman : You’re not just telling us what we want to hear?
H.I. : No, sir, no way.
Parole Board member : ‘Cause we just want to hear the truth.
H.I. : Well, then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear.
Parole Board chairman : Boy, didn’t we just tell you not to do that?
H.I. : Yes, sir.
Parole Board chairman : Okay, then.
I think I might know you...
:)
Why isn’t she being processed as an enemy combatant?
Inflicting violence on police for political purposes.
Deport her back to Pakistan after she's finished her sentence.
Yes, but did you also say you were dealing with unprocessed trauma? 🤪
