Molotov cocktail-tossing lawyers tried to pass out firebombs to protesters: feds

The two attorneys busted for throwing a Molotov cocktail through a police car window during protests in Brooklyn early Saturday were trying to pass out the incendiary devices to demonstrators in the crowd, federal authorities said Monday.

Brooklyn community board member Colinford Mattis, 32, and his alleged accomplice, 31-year-old Urooj Rahman, were driving around in a tan minivan near a clash between police and demonstrators at the 88th Precinct stationhouse in Fort Greene, federal prosecutors for the Eastern District of New York said in a detention memo Monday.

"They each face charges of causing damage by fire and explosives to a police vehicle."

Are they kidding with this crap? These are acts of terrorism!!

[RummyChick]

those charges are a slap in the face...and not even enough to knock you out

ridiculous.

[Starboard]

I read this morning that they both bailed out already. Nothing will happen to them and neither one will be disbarred.

[BushCountry]

Enough to get their law license suspended. Their futures are completely destroyed, so some justice at least. Also, likely jail time.

[budj]

A good, old fashioned Democrat knows the cure for this.

[gogeo]

How nice is that? They brought enough for everyone!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

It’s unbelievable, where is the attempted murder charge?

[RummyChick]

Mattis isnt on HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP webpage...lol
that was fast

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Absolutely the orders that should be given out. What the hell is going on here? These are attempted murderers and they are getting their asses kissed?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL “Mattis? We don’t know any Mattis around here!”

[RitchieAprile]

if convicted of felonies, then yes.

apparently a top drawer law degree is not necessarily an indicator of common sense/good judgement

[RummyChick]

ny bar had him at hollis ..but nypost says somewhere else

[RummyChick]

not on pryor cashman website either...he is persona non grata

[mass55th]

Hopefully they are facing Federal charges. These are Federal offenses.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Thats a felony charge, so if they are convicted its automatic disbarment.
They most likely plead down if they can.

[mass55th]

"Their futures are completely destroyed, so some justice at least. "

Sleepy Joe will nominate them for Judgeships.

There was another case where a couple of sisters tossed a molotov cocktail at a cop car filled with four cops. The one who threw it is being charged with attempted murder.

In this case I think the car was empty so no murder charges.

[T.B. Yoits]

Their "Law Schools" need to be linked to these two on every possible social media site for eternity. (or until outpaced by someone even more depraved)

These schools can't have it both ways; if they're going to "celebrate diversity" and practice reverse discrimination, let them forever be linked to it by these two by name.

[bgill]

They deserve the max and their licenses burned to ashes.

[hal ogen]

Hang them.
