Two Brooklyn lawyers, including an Ivy League graduate corporate attorney, are facing federal charges for tossing a Molotov cocktail into an NYPD vehicle early Saturday morning during a protest over the police killing of George Floyd.

Colinford Mattis, 32, a lawyer and member of Community Board 5 in East New York, was charged along with fellow attorney Urooj Rahman with the attempted attack on an empty police cruiser parked outside the 88th Precinct stationhouse in Fort Greene.

I wonder if they will be fired by their firms, no pun intended.

They’ll need good lawyers to keep them out of Federal prison. Too bad, they had such a bright future working with Weissman, and the rest of the corrupt attorneys in D.C.

Convicted of federal crime? Can you say, “bend over and kiss your fanny, good bye?”

So the were both lawyers. I’ve seen every episode of ‘Perry Mason’ at least twice. And I never saw him throw a Molotov cocktail at a police car. I guess times have changed.

If the two of them are not disbarred the first thing Monday morning, the police should complain.

But but but we are told that riots and terrorism are caused by poverty and a lack of higher education.

…the board would meet soon to discuss whether to suspend or take other measures against Mattis.

They will probably promote him at the very least.

Urooj Rahman. Yes. Not letting a crisis go to waste. But he did not earn his virgins. He neither killed an infidel nor was he killed in the act.

Two sets of justice.
one for the rich, effete and elite

And real justice for the subjects.

“And I never saw him throw a Molotov cocktail at a police car”

Thats because he’d do it during the commercial break.

Interesting how America’s “elites” are involved in the chaos and destruction of society.

Just in the past day we’ve seen MN Governor’s daughter, Omar’s daughter, these people….

The Ivy League always claims to have “the best and the brightest”. I guess these two were affirmative action cases like Hussein 0bama, because this was not very bright. Ha Ha

These lowlifes borrow a lot of money and educate themselves and then they revert to their original ideals. I bet the lowlifes never paid back their student loans.

It was probably an affirmative action hire by the Law Firm.
They will regret hiring this thug with a soon to be disbarred status.
