An appeals court ordered two lawyers accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail inside a police vehicle to report back to jail. The decision comes two days after a judge allowed the accused to post bail and return home.

On Wednesday, Salmah Rizvi, a former Obama administration official in both the State and Defense Departments, guaranteed the bail of Urooj Rahman, one of two New York City attorneys accused in the failed attack on a police cruiser parked outside the 88th Precinct in Fort Greene.
Authorities say Urooj Rahman and Colinford King Mattis tossed a Molotov cocktail through a broken window of a police cruiser just before 1 a.m. local time on Saturday. After the firebomb failed to ignite, Rahman jumped into a van and sped off with Mattis. Cops pursued the vehicle and apprehended both suspects. Cops discovered another Molotov cocktail and a gasoline container in the back seat of the vehicle.
According to court papers, surveillance cameras outside the precinct captured the attack on video. Authorities say a witness has come forward claiming Rahman was passing out Molotov cocktails to other protesters earlier in the day.
A picture surfaced showing Rahman sitting in the passenger side of a van holding a Molotov cocktail.

The court ordered both suspects to be released on home detention with a GPS monitor and surrender all travel documents. But both suspects are now back in custody following the appeal court's ruling. If convicted, they face up to 20 years behind bars.
I hope they throw the book at them. It will cost them their law license and I really feel badly about that...NOT!
Will Obama get his bail money back immediately?
They’re lawyers good grief. They look like scum .
Wow.
There...fixed.
Ironic that one of them is named Mattis. Another Trump hating bomb thrower named Mattis.
And he’s a Princeton man. James Madison would be so proud.
They wanted to watch the car burn/explode
.....wonder if they knew or cared it was empty?....no cops inside
THROW THE BOOK AT THEM!
“Obamapostles” — enjoy Federal prison, dirtbags.
Antifa is overwhelmingly made up of the children of elites and young urbanite professionals.
Nobody else can afford to live that lifestyle.
They can always go to work for NBC
They ought to get an extra 5 years for the Bud Light
Might just as well drink water
"Lawyers" / "scum" - I believe sir you have answered your own question.
He’s a lawyer, he went to Princeton. How crazy that someone in such a position to have a good life literally throws it away by throwing a Molotov cocktail.
Maybe he’s just blinded and unable to think straight due to being liberal ?
I’m sure all his Princeton buddies are going to go visit him in prison.
Yup,
Maybe it’s the Beer?
.
Bud Light,
LOL I toally agree
