Quoting a phrase often attributed to Robert Morgenthau, the former longtime Manhattan district attorney, Schechtman said the young attorneys were at worst guilty of “stupidity in the first degree.”

“It is one night where really fine people lost their way," Schechtman said. “One can lose one’s sense in a moment or even in an hour on an evening like this.”

They are 32-year-old lawyers, not 16-year-old punks. Their actions were their deliberate, considered, and planned acts of criminal violence.

And they must be subject to federal charges because there is no other remedy in Democrat jurisdictions, where Democrats have exempted themselves from the law simply by refusing to enforce it against themselves. The only value of the law in New York is to punish political dissidents.

They’re foreign terrorist lawyers. It’s a national security problem. Make an example of them.

“Prosecutors allege the lawyers planned to distribute and throw other Molotov cocktails.”

Looks like they were going to “lose their way” again before they got caught.

Locking up terrorists forever is self defense. All of these rioters and looters involved in destroying our cities should be removed from society.

Throwing a punch at someone who gets in your face may be "loosing one's sense in a moment" - gathering the materials for Molotov cocktails, preparing said cocktails, transporting said cocktails, and using said cocktails leaves plenty of time for reflection: Is this really a good idea?

Blue states will never prosecute their brethren to the full the extent of the law, if at all.

It is obvious why the feds took this on.

Honest officer, I didn’t steal the cow. I found the rope and brought it home, but I didn’t know that there was a cow tied to the other end of the rope. And, how many unpremeditated murders have been committed by someone that merely lost there way for a minute or maybe an hour?

.....................................
Schechtman revealed by this asinine statement that he fell out of the same garbage can those two “fine people” did!

Officers of the court should be held to a higher standard.

If it were a minor offense I would agree, but arson and/or murder cannot be overlooked nor minimized. Arson is a serious offense.
