Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were arrested in the “mostly peaceful” protests following George Floyd’s murder. The two lawyers handed out Molotov cocktails to the crowd, and Rahman tossed one into a police car before fleeing the scene in Mattis’s van. They reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in October 2020 that wiped out six of the seven charges against them. Those prosecutors, nonetheless, sought a maximum 10-year sentence and argued that the incident qualified for a so-called terrorism enhancement that would turbocharge sentencing—a determination with which the U.S. Probation Office concurred.
Ginning herself up to distribute explosives to the crowd, Rahman gave a video interview in which she declared, “This shit won’t ever stop until we fuckin’ take it all down,” adding that “the only way [the police] hear us is through violence.”
Then, Garland and the U.S. attorney for New York’s Eastern District, Breon Peace, who’s handling the prosecution, took office, and you won’t believe what happened next!

Two-tiered justice system. One for leftists/democrats and one for the rest of us.
Sitting around for 60-years sucking your thumbs, while the communists infiltrated & gained control of the Democrat party, the education system, and the State & Federal bureaucracies, turns out to have been the absolutely correct strategy for the abject peaceful surrender to the communist tyranny that now fully encompasses us...
“Can you believe how corrupt our government is? No morals, no ethics, no integrity.”
You won’t find too many people who will disagree with you.
and you won’t believe what happened next!
no, no actually i’ve come to except it...
Want to disarm law aviding citizens who never shot anyone
Want to coddle terrorists who actually handed out and firebombed a government law enforcement agent vehicle.
21st Centudy Democrat Idiocy and Hypocrisy
Done. Lock 'em up.
Need we say more?
Wonder how these two legal eagles would respond if a group of angry conservatives were to throw a couple of Molotov cocktails through their windows or in their cars?
