| [NYPost] An upstate woman and two Brooklyn lawyers were indicted Friday on federal explosives and arson charges for allegedly tossing Molotov cocktails at NYPD vehicles during George Floyd protests in New York City. Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, is accused of hurling the makeshift explosive at an NYPD vehicle occupied by four coppers on early Saturday morning, May 30. Prosecutors allege Shader bit one of the officer’s legs when she was being taken into custody. Around the same time, Brooklyn lawyers Urooj Rahman, 31, and Colinford Mattis, 32, were accused of tossing their own Molotov cocktail at an unoccupied police vehicle in Brooklyn during a separate attack. All three face life in prison on the seven-count indictments, charging them with the 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.

| #5 And note that these are FEDERAL charges. This means that NY's get out of jail bail free rules do not apply. Also,the local DA has nothing to say about this. |

| #4 Arson is a serious felony, right below murder and kidnapping. The big problem is that, once a fire gets out of control, people might be burned or even killed. Then it's murder. That's why life in prison is an appropriate sentence. |

| #3 Federal terrorist charges. Get them a Soros source for their bail. Then a one way ticket to Havana. |

| #2 Rahman in 2014 did a summer fellowship internship program at the Israel based Mada Al-Carmel's Arab Center for Applied Social Research in a partnership program with Palestine Works. The Mada Al-Carmel center is heavily financed by George Soros through his Open Society Foundations. |
