NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City attorney was sentenced to 15 months behind bars on Friday for firebombing an empty New York City police vehicle with another lawyer during protests over the murder of George Floyd.
Before hearing her sentence, Urooj Rahman asked a judge to spare her prison time and give her a “second chance” to redeem herself for what she called a momentary lapse of judgement.
“I’m so incredibly sorry for my reckless and wrong actions,” a tearful Rahman said in federal court in Brooklyn. “I don’t think there’s enough words to express my sorrow and regret. ... I completely lost my way in the emotion of the night.”
Surveillance cameras recorded Rahman hurling an incendiary device into a parked police vehicle, setting fire to its console. No one was injured in the attack, but the vehicle was severely damaged.
Rahman and Mattis have been disbarred. Mattis is scheduled for sentencing next month.

Send her back to the geographical nexus of her DNA.
Yet many re getting sentences much longer just for trespassing in the capital
You can use lawyers as firebombs?
COOL !
BRB...
So will the New York Barr do the right thing and kick her out?
15 months? I thought insurrection got you at least 2 years in solitary.
Look at the next professor of Hard then the mayor of New York.
Not joking, either.
Harvard, not hard.
I’m certain that she will need well wishes from the general public. Postcards are best. Sunny beach shots from Florida would be nice. Or maybe President Trump golfing.
“I’m so incredibly sorry for my reckless and wrong actions,”
LIke hell she does. When she is released in a few weeks she will be a HERO to the progs.
This sick leftist didn’t just throw a Molotov cocktail at an empty police car. She distributed Molotov cocktails to masked strangers, knowing they were committing arson with them.
SPJNK.
Punishment should fit the crime…. You decide.
IF she would have done this at the Jan 6 protests she would have been executed.
So less than some of the people who strolled through the capital.
15 months vs 5 years for standing in the Capitol in a Buffalo costume.
Why is subversive Urooj Rahman in the UnitedStates ?
At least it’s federal so she won’t likely be released early.
I’m sorry too. I’m sorry somebody didn’t shoot her while she the Molotov cocktail still in her hand . .
You’re confusing a violent insurrection with a “largely” peaceful protest . . .
wow!!!
you mean they are actually going after the Antifa rioters!??!?!
I thought prosecution was only for Republicans. This gives me hope.
