Molotov cocktail-tossing Brooklyn lawyers’ home detention revoked

2020-06-06

Does this mean Salmah Rizvi, the nice, multilingual lawyer, protege of Paul Soros and CAIR, will get back the deposit she put down on the bail?

[NYDAILYNEWS] Two Brooklyn lawyers accused of tossing a Molotov cocktail at an empty NYPD car during a chaotic George Floyd protest last weekend are now getting tossed into lockup themselves — for now.

Princeton grad Colinford Mattis, 32, and his alleged accomplice and fellow lawyer Urooj Rahman, 31, lost their home detention status late Friday when three federal judges ordered them returned to official custody pending a further review of their bail appeal.

Mattis and Rahman were initially granted permission to stay in their respective homes after posting $250,000 bail, and an initial attempt by federal prosecutors to get that decision overturned failed.

Prosecutors appealed again and Friday the federal panel decided to send Mattis and Rahman back into lock up while a final ruling was made.

Defense attorneys for Mattis and Rahman blasted the decision to send their clients back into federal custody — even if it might only be temporary.

“The remand of Urrooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis by the Court of Appeals is shocking and wrong,” said Federal Defenders Attorney-in-Charge Deirdre Von Dornum. “They have been at home for a week with perfect behavior, consistent with their lifetimes of law-abiding behavior.”

Well done!

Here is some intel for you.

In 2014 Urooj Rahman went to Palestine and trained with Hamas.

She has scrubbed the majority of her digital footprint, but if you look in the right place, that info is still there.

Now look into her ties to CAIR as well.

YW.

#10 I’m glad something I said provided unexpected illumination, Varmint Splat1454. Sheltered though I’ve been all my life, I’ve had some unusual experiences. Especially during our time in Europe with the big, multinational corporation. In part because I was the wife of a little R&D group leader tasked to the team opening up Eastern Europe after the Wall fell, while most of the other expat and local wives in my circle were married to senior vice presidents or the equivalent in their various fields. Mr. Wife’s promotions came later.

#9 Honestly, from the lofty heights of age they both look like children to me. (Probably because they are young enough to actually be my children.) I find their case highly depressing for reasons I can't quite specify. Possibly "Think of all the good things you could be doing with your lives?"

#8 TW. I just saw your comment regarding South Korean women. Your experienäe was very interesting. The ones I had business dealings with came to the US for college education then decided to stay in the US to start a business while single.

Your knowledge did explain why they seemed to be very intense and cautious when dealing with men in business situations which was unique and puzzling to me until now.

More of a redundancy than a contradiction, no?
