As a convicted felon that is automatic disbarment. GOOD

Adios, ***holes.

“I’ll be spending every day for the rest of my life trying to make this right,” Rahman said at her sentencing. She will spend 15 months in jail. Standing before the same judge three months later, Mattis voiced the same sentiment. “I ruined my life with my conduct that night,” he said on Thursday.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Cornhole. and that is what you may very well have to look forward to in the slam. You were convicted of a felony act of violence so you will go to a fed max slamer like the one in Colorado.

They are very sorry...they got caught.

But remember—the revolution continues—just gonna have to wait until they get out of the slammer....

[Leep]

The struggle continues.

[null and void]

Now he’s a jailhouse lawyer?

[caww]

Colin Mattis, right, with then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2006....one of Obamas 'Sons'

Before reading the sentence [for firebombing a police car] — 12 months and one day, a fine of $30,000 and one year of probation

I'm old enough to remember when the "violent insurrectionists" firebombed the US Capitol.

Oh, wait - that never happened...

Just a year?

So all the efforts so many made on their behalf so they could get ahead and now they throw all away in a violent protest.

Talk about emotional immaturity and mindless range!

“Mattis and Rahman used a separate group chat to discuss the use of weapons and violence to pursue social change,” the government’s sentencing memo states. “In their discussion, 'Rahman' expressed the view that ‘all the police stations’ and ‘probably all the courts’ ‘need[ed]’ to be burned down.”

“In the pages of the New York Times, they were described by a guest contributor as victims of “deeply ingrained injustices.””

Sounds like the marketing of John Brown as a hero after he and his gang murdered that black railroad worker at Harpers Ferry.

[ridesthemiles]

ZERO impulse control & ZERO ability to think ahead.

15 months, and that is way too lenient of a sentence. She should’ve been sentenced to 100 years in jail with no parole whatsoever.

[SpaceBar]

So in 15 months he’ll be a CNN contributing political ‘analyst’.

"They both had become attorneys in hopes of using the law to help balance the scales of a justice system that, in their eyes, favored rich over poor, white over Black, citizen over refugee." (Both have immigrant parents)

It's people like this who hurt the fabric of our nation.

[Strident]

There’s significance to the “year + one day” sentence. Many privileges and qualifications filter out anyone who was sentenced to “more than 1 year of incarceration.”

IIRC it includes firearms licenses, ability to be bonded, eligibility for certain jobs, etc.
