Refugee Rights Activist Arrested in NYC; Alleged to Have Thrown Incendiary Device at Police Car

Urooj Rahman prepares to throw a Molotov cocktail. Gee I wonder where she learned her bomb making skills.

One of the lawyers charged with hurling Molotov cocktails at a police cruiser is a 32-year-old Princeton educated lawyer and his partner in (alleged) crime is a 31-year-old “human rights” lawyer and activist who worked on refugee issues in Turkey.

Here is a bit of the news from the NY Post:
Accused Molotov cocktail hurler is Ivy League-educated lawyer, community board member

A Ivy League-educated lawyer and member of a Brooklyn community board was among those arrested for hurling a Molotov cocktail at a marked NYPD vehicle amid George Floyd protests, it was revealed Sunday.Colinford King Mattis at his graduation from NYU law school.

Colinford Mattis, 32, was allegedly behind the wheel of a tan minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney Urooj Rahman, allegedly hurled the incendiary at an empty NYPD vehicle outside the 88th Precinct station house in Fort Greene early on Saturday.

Mattis, a graduate of Princeton University and New York University law school, is an associate at corporate Manhattan firm Pryor Cashman.

Rahman, 31, meanwhile, is also registered as an attorney in New York state, who was admitted to the bar in June 2019 after graduating from Fordham University School of Law. It was not immediately clear on Sunday whether she was affiliated with any law firm.

It’s unclear how she and Mattis know each other.

The Brooklyn residents are federally charged with causing damage by fire and explosives to a police vehicle, during demonstrations over the...

Watch: Rioters Beat Man in Santa Monica Streets After Defending a Pushed over Cyclist

President Donald Trump today announced that the federal government is designating Antifa as a terrorist organization.

The move comes after the radical-left coalition is believed to have instigated looting, property destruction, and physical violence all across the country in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd while he was in the custody of the Minneapolis police.

This formal designation will allow the feds, including the FBI, to devote their massive national security resources to investigate and neutralize the nihilistic group.

Ironically in the extreme, the group that derived its name as an anti-fascist movement has consistently behaved in a very fascistic manner and, over the past few days, contaminated peaceful protests by those who seek justice in the Floyd police misconduct case.

Last July, Trump tweeted that he was considering naming Antifa, which he described as “gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats,” as a terrorist entity.

The president apparently decided the time is now.

Yesterday, during his Cape Canaveral speech, President Trump declared that “The violence and vandalism is being led by Antifa and other radical left-wing groups who are terrorizing the innocent, destroying jobs, hurting businesses and burning down buildings…my administration will stop mob violence and we’ll stop it cold.”

The decision by Trump was perhaps telegraphed, to some degree, by U.S. Attorney General William Barr who said yesterday that “groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda. In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchistic and far-left extremists, using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from...
