Richard Spoor @Richard_Spoor · 19h Replying to @Richard_Spoor Most people, even good ones, do something stupid sometime. When that results in the ruining of their otherwise good and productive lives, it’s tragic. I have seen it many times. In legal systems like ours it can be mitigated, but in the US with harsh minimum sentences it can not. :stupidburns: [link to twitter.com (secure)] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79187634 United States 08/06/2020 09:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s an audacious choice to pause in front of an Applebee’s restaurant on Flatbush Avenue and grant an impromptu interview to a video journalist shortly before you allegedly throw a Molotov cocktail into a police car. But the city was out of its collective mind that night, the Friday after the Monday George Floyd was killed. Urooj Rahman faced the camera looking high-strung and distracted, answering questions as her hands waved and flitted around her body and in front of her face as if they were birds escaping from a box. Rahman emigrated from Pakistan when she was 4 and now lives with her elderly mother in Bay Ridge; she works as an attorney at Legal Services in the Bronx, representing tenants without means in eviction proceedings. “This shit won’t ever stop unless we fucking take it all down,” she said. “We’re all in so much pain from how fucked up this country is toward Black lives. This has got to stop, and the only way they hear us is through violence, through the means that they use. ‘You got to use the master’s tools.’ That’s what my friend always says.” Sometime later, around 1 a.m., Rahman apparently threw a Bud Light bottle, filled with gasoline and lit with a toilet-paper fuse, through the broken window of a parked, abandoned cop car that had already been vandalized. According to the government’s complaint, there were witnesses. And because nothing happens anymore without documentation, the government says that police surveillance cameras recorded the act, and a photographer captured Rahman an instant before, leaning out of her friend Colinford Mattis’s tan Town & Country van, holding the bottle stuffed with tissue but still unlit. In the dim background of the photograph, Mattis is driving, his head and gaze tilted away. The government says that after the bomb ignited, destroying the console of the NYPD vehicle, the two drove off. The police gave chase and, when they caught up with them, found a lighter and another Molotov cocktail in the passenger seat and the materials for making more in the back. ...Most of the demonstrators were released the next day, but Rahman and Mattis were held for hours at the 88th Precinct in Clinton Hill, interrogated, taken into federal custody, and finally charged with seven federal crimes — including arson, conspiracy, and the commission of a “crime of violence” using a “destructive device,” a charge that carries, if they are convicted, a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years. Altogether, Rahman and Mattis each face nonnegotiable sentences of 45 years to life. [link to nymag.com (secure)] sweeet |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75525506 If somebody was in the car I could see 35 years as that's attempted murder. But I'm pretty sure they knew the car was empty. Don't make firebombs and take them to political rallys or riots, mmkay? Definitely don't throw them at cop cars lol. |

Good example of the Palestinian influence over the idiot revolution currently fashionable amongst the Marxist crowd. Enjoy federal prison. And don't forget, the lawyer who posted their bail, the bomb throwers best friend who gets a glowing portrayal in this rambling tract of leftist vomit, was a Soros fellowship recipient and a CAIR scholarship recipient.

The POS is a supporter of "liberation and Socialism" Here he is linked to the group Party for Liberation and Socialism. [link to www.pslweb.org (secure)] This is what they stand for: [link to www.pslweb.org (secure)] From Wikipedia: The party's goal is to lead a revolution paving the way towards socialism, under which a "new government of working people" would be formed. The PSL proposes many radical changes to be implemented by this government. In the political sphere, all elected representatives should be recallable, securing freedom of speech for the working class (except in the case of xenophobia or bigotry and to prevent re-establishment of the capitalist system) and the elimination of corporate influence from politics. The party's program states: "Achieving fully developed socialism, a goal that has not yet been achieved anywhere, will open the way to communism and the end of class society" Last Edited by justavet on 08/06/2020 11:21 PM justavet In the end, our regrets are for what we didn't do, not for what we did. |

The 35 year sentence isn't the prize here. Its the leverage. Barr is going to put the screws to this bitch and she WILL squeal despite the millions her handlers will spend to keep her mum. That is, unless she shoots herself 3 times in the back of the head like so many liabilities seem fond of doing. Last Edited by GorillaGripPussyPal on 08/06/2020 11:34 PM |
