In the least surprising development ever, terrorist supporters are defending terrorists.
An appeals court ordered two lawyers accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail inside a police vehicle to report back to jail. The decision comes two days after a judge allowed the accused to post bail and return home.
On Wednesday, Salmah Rizvi, a former Obama administration official in both the State and Defense Departments, guaranteed the bail of Urooj Rahman, one of two New York City attorneys accused in the failed attack on a police cruiser parked outside the 88th Precinct in Fort Greene.
Authorities say Urooj Rahman and Colinford King Mattis tossed a Molotov cocktail through a broken window of a police cruiser just before 1 a.m. local time on Saturday. After the firebomb failed to ignite, Rahman jumped into a van and sped off with Mattis. Cops pursued the vehicle and apprehended both suspects. Cops discovered another Molotov cocktail and a gasoline container in the back seat of the vehicle.
The Feds took this over because local authorities in blue cities absolutely can’t be trusted on anything involving the leftist rioters. The evidence is pretty undeniable, so lefties have turned to pounding the pulpit on their behalf and waving their arms in the air.
A whole bunch of former federal prosecutors, you can guess the party, signed a letter on their behalf.
And a variety of Islamic groups joined the effort.
n a statement, a coalition of 35 Muslim, South Asian and Arab civil rights and advocacy groups argue the treatment is disproportionately harsh and likely linked in part to the lawyers’ racial and ethnic backgrounds. Rahman, 31, is a Pakistani American Muslim woman. Mattis, 32, is the son of Jamaican immigrants.
“These excessive charges targeting Colin and Urooj set a dangerous precedent, and function to instill fear and stifle protest by Black, South Asian, and Muslim protestors at a moment where millions take to the streets worldwide to demand justice,” the statement reads. “This prosecution is also rooted in a longstanding history of anti-Black racism and structural Islamophobia in the United States.”
The coalition, led by the American Muslim Bar Association, Believers Bail Out and Justice For Muslims Collective, claims the pair is being targeted “for their solidarity with those murdered by state violence.”
Other signatories include the ICNA Council for Social Justice, the Palestinian Youth Movement and MPower Change.
MPower Change is Linda Sarsour.
Dude says
That’s sick.
DH says
When one race card wears out they just make a fresh deck. Well, it’s actually kind of stale because they were manufactured in 1969.
DH says
And Linda is clearly violating the spirit of the Shariah law with all that heavy makeup. Allah wants women to stop men from raping them. You can’t just put on a scarf, say “it’s a wrap!” and leave unescorted. She is a bad Muslim.

“he i a bad Muslim”,,,,are you trying to say there is such a thing as a good Mudslime?
gravenimage says
As Islam sees it, there is.
mortimer says
BLM = Blacks Loving Marxism.
Wellington says
That’s a keeper, mortimer. Thanks.
And what makes it all the more worthy of remembrance is that it is true. The founders of BLM in 2013—Tometi, Garza and Cullors—describe themselves “as trained Marxists.”
Oh yeah, one more matter and it’s this: Marxism is the kind of stupidity that only, a la Orwell, intellectuals could come up with. Every single one of Marx’s major principles, with the semi-exception of the economic interpretation of history (which Marx pushed way too far), is nonsense—from determinism (which as I have indicated before at JW is voodoo for intellectuals), dialectical materialism (Hegelian silliness but only moved from the realm of ideas to materialism), the labor value theory (which doesn’t even take into account such basic things as intrinsic worth and advertising costs), and the two really wicked ones, the two which are a prescription for genocide, i.e., the theory of alienation and the class struggle theory.
Show me a Marxist and I will show you a menace, only the degree of power the Marxist has being a variable. Right now the leaders of BLM have a fair to good amount of power and the vast majority of American politicians, including the ones who instinctively and historically know that Marxism has wrong written all over it, do not have enough theoretical knowledge respecting what Marxism really avers. Rather as is the case with Islam.

“…Marxism is the kind of stupidity that only, a la Orwell, intellectuals could come up with.”
100% true.
Come to think of it, you don’t see many Marxists in trade schools – or blue-collar workers in general, etc.
Those folks can see through the bullsh*t…

James Lincoln says
Why is it when I see a picture of Linda Sarsour that I feel a sudden need to vomit?
Wellington says
An understandable reaction, James. Very.
For me, when I see a photo of Linda Sarsour I invariably reflexively think the same thing, to wit, I am looking at an adherent of an ideology which is the spiritual version of Nazism. I of course am using a very expansive definition of the term “spiritual.”
DazzleMe says
One ugly wench!
Lauren Hermann says
“Now, tell the truth! If you found Linda Sarsour in you swimming pool, wouldn’t you punish your dog?”
An oldie but goody from Joan Rivers, except Joan used Yoko Ono. I changed the person to Linda Sarsour.
RichardL says
same here. Same for Omar.
Linde Barrera says
To James Lincoln- Linda Sarsour’s endorsement of anything means it is baaaaad.
Westman says
Maybe they haven’t heard that CHAZ/CHOP is gone and Nigel Farange is back in popularity in the UK. It’s over, people are fed-up with peaceful-violent protest-riots and its bad actors.
Just keep protesting the prosecution of proven terrorist actions and more people will know that the American Muslim Bar Association, Believers Bail Out, Justice For Muslims Collective, ICNA Council for Social Justice, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and MPower Change are actually anti-patriotic enemies of a lawful America.
Don’t stop! Please keep digging that hole…

Sarsour, Muslim Groups Lobby for Lawyers Who Threw Molotov Cocktails at NYPD
………………….
Of course they are. As Daniel Greenfield notes, terrorist supporters are defending terrorists.
Keith O says
If this pair manage to pull off the discrimination card and get away with this attack, it will set law and order in the US back decades.
If and when they are convicted they need to be publicly condemned for their actions.
An example needs to be set.
RichardL says
what better outcome that she goes back to Pakistan and leaves the scumbags with the bill. And never comes back
Mike says
if one doesn’t want to do the time DON’t do the crime
OLD GUY says
Did you have to put her picture up it ruined my breakfast. Sarsour is in love with seeing her self in the media and supports any un-American actions that she can find to speak out on. Lobbying on behalf of terrorist shouldn’t come as a surprise, she is a mouth piece for the muslim/islamic migration invasion of the U.S.
Ray says
Linda Sarsour – police training must include “community-based organizations” and “faith based leaders”

Marie Boston says
It’s still being posted on my town’s website as their response to the “defund the police garbage” even after I asked if there was an updated version and pointed out the ridiculousness of using that to support the police. They can’t say they didn’t know when the angry mob comes for them and “durkanizes” them as they did to the Boston City Council. I shall alert them to this now.
Marie B says
Does no one notice that this looks a lot like the list of demands to the leaders? NYPD eliminated undercover officers, civilian review boards– it’s like she had the ability to see into the future in 2015.
