FakeNewsMSM will cheer them on.
NYT write as glowingly as possible about the Molotov lawyers, but misses an opportunity, for once, to mention Obama when writing about Salmah Rizvi, who was in Defence and State Dept under his Administration!
7 Jun: NYT: The 2 Lawyers, the Anti-Police Protests and the Molotov Cocktail Attack
He was a Princeton-educated corporate lawyer. She provided legal services for the poor. Now they are accused in a Molotov cocktail attack on a police car.

What happened next came as a surprise to many who know the two young lawyers...
Their arrests shortly after were a startling turn for the two, who were otherwise role models in their communities. Both children of immigrants, they rose from working-class Brooklyn neighborhoods to win a long list of awards and campus leadership positions. Mr. Mattis graduated from Princeton University and New York University Law School, while Ms. Rahman went to Fordham University for college and law school.
As one friend put it, they were “N.Y.C. kids from impoverished backgrounds who made something of themselves.”...
If the charges prove to be true, were the two spurred by an ill-advised moment of anger — or did they act out of a deeper, darker disillusionment with the political system in the wake of Mr. Floyd’s death?...
A portrait of Mr. Mattis and Ms. Rahman was assembled from interviews with more than three dozen of their friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors and former professors...
Still, in a video interview with Loudlabs News NYC, first reported by The New York Post, less than an hour before the attack, Ms. Rahman said it was understandable for people to be in the streets and enraged about police brutality.
“This has got to stop, and the only way they hear, the only way they hear us is through violence, through the means that they use,” she said.
She suggested that the destruction of police property was appropriate...
Salmah Rizvi, who was also at the May 29 Zoom talk with Ms. Rahman, said nothing seemed unusual about Ms. Rahman’s recent behavior.
“She was in a good spiritual state this past month,” said Ms. Rizvi, who called Ms. Rahman her best friend...
In 2014, (Ms. Rahman) co-authored a paper titled, “Changing the NYPD: A Progressive Blueprint for Sweeping Reform.”...

Updated 4 Jun: Heavy: Samantha Shader: New York Woman Accused of Throwing Molotov Cocktail at NYPD
By Erik Hawkins
According to an FBI affidavit, a woman named Samantha Shader has admitted to throwing the incendiary device at the vehicle, which contained four officers. Another woman, Shader’s sister Darian Shader, 21, is to be charged in Brooklyn Criminal Court with resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration...
1. Shader Was Chased By Police & Bit an Officer on the Leg During Her Arrest, Authorities Say...
Federal authorities claim Shader was caught on video lighting the Molotov cocktail while someone else tried to shield her from view. After she threw it, they allege, the same officers in the NYPD vehicle chased her down. The complaint says she bit one officer on the leg during her arrest. Shader eventually admitted “in sum and substance” to throwing the explosive, according to the language in the federal charging document...
Prosecutors also claim that Shader has been arrested 11 times in 11 different states. They allege convictions for possession and assault. Heavy was only able to confirm Shader’s 2018 and 2019 misdemeanor arrests for creating a public disturbance and for interfering with an officer in Waterford, Connecticut, per Connecticut state court records...
That same night, Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis were also both arrested and charged with the same federal crime.
Both are lawyers in Brooklyn who authorities allege were protesting nearby where Shader was arrested...
Police identified a minivan Rahman was seen leaving the scene in and later pulled it over, the complaint states.
Mattis was driving the van, and both were arrested. Authorities found the makings of more Molotovs in the minivan, including a bottle filled with paper and apparent gasoline, as well as a lighter, according to the complaint...
Molotovs have allegedly been used in New York City during the George Floyd protests, and last week, two Minneapolis men were arrested and hit with federal charges after police alleged they threw Molotov cocktails into a county courthouse in Apple Valley, Minnesota, the Star Tribune reported.
Garrett Patrick Ziegler, 24, and Fornandous Cortez Henderson, 32, were both charged with arson and possession of an unregistered destructive device, according to the Department of Justice.
The incident occurred during rioting related to Floyd’s death, according to the Star Tribune...
