Brooklyn Lawyers Hit with Seven Federal Charges for Allegedly Throwing Molotov Cocktail Into NYPD Cruiser Now Face Life Imprisonment
|
 [Atlanta Black Star] Two lawyers are facing life in prison on charges of throwing an explosive into an unoccupied New York Police cruiser during a demonstration in late May.
Colinford Mattis
| ...Princeton, NYU Law, former corporate law associate at some fancy New York City law firm... |
and Urooj Rahman
| ...pouty connected Pakistani-American who trained with Hamas before training in human rights law at Fordham. Her self-proclaimed best friend, successful Washington, DC lawyer Salmah Rizvi previoisly worked for President Obama as an intelligence analyst ... |
were charged with seven federal counts including use of explosives, arson, use of explosives to commit a felony, arson conspiracy, use of a destructive device, civil disorder, and making or possessing a destructive device, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. Mattis is a 32-year-old Black man and Rahman, 31, is of Pakistani descent.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on May 29 in Brooklyn during a protest related to the death of George Floyd, who died on Memorial Day. Rahman reportedly exited a minivan driven by Mattis to throw a Molotov cocktail into the broken window of a NYPD cruiser. Authorities say after Rahman tossed the device she jumped back into the van and Mattis drove off. An explosion never occurred because tissue paper used as a fuse burned out before the fire reached the gasoline. The vehicle was unoccupied, and no one was injured during the incident.
"Police Officers pursued the minivan and arrested Rahman and Mattis, who was the vehicle’s driver," the U.S. Attorney’s Office press release stated. "In the vehicle, the NYPD found several component items for Molotov Cocktails, including a lighter, a bottle filled with liquid suspected to be gasoline and toilet paper, additional bottles and toilet paper, and a gasoline canister."
Prosecutors also accused Rahman of distributing Molotov cocktails to other protesters. If convicted, they face life imprisonment. Both are registered lawyers and had no criminal record prior to their arrest. They were arrested on May 30 and released on a $250,000 bond with electronic monitoring. However, they were thrown back in jail after an appeal from federal prosecutors, who say the two are a danger to others.
