Urooj Rahman, 34, a former lawyer, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after she made and tossed a Molotov cocktail at an unoccupied NYPD vehicle during an anti-cop protest in Brooklyn in 2020.
Ms. Rahman pleaded guilty to one charge related to the incident in October 2021, according to John Marzulli, spokesman for the District Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. The sentence was handed out by Judge Brian Cogan.
The former lawyer [she has since been disbarred] was originally indicted in June 2020 along with another former lawyer, Colinford Mattis, 36, on seven federal counts that included the use of explosives, arson, using an explosive to commit a felony, arson conspiracy, use of a destructive device, civil disorder, possessing and making a destructive device, and creeping meatballism.
Mattis, who drove the getaway car, got a slightly lighter sentence of one year and a day.
At the Brooklyn protest, Rahman approached an empty NYPD vehicle with an already broken window and tossed in a makeshift explosive device, according to court filings. A witness said she also “attempted to distribute Molotov cocktails to several other individuals and to incite them to use the Molotov cocktails in the course of the protests.”
Rahman fled the scene in a van driven by Mattis, court records show. Police stopped the vehicle and found “precursor” items to build explosives, including a lighter, a Bud Light bottle filled with toilet paper and a gasoline tank.
“I hope they burn everything down,” Rahman told Mattis in a message hours before protests formed. “Need to burn all the police stations down… probably all the courts too.”
When Rahman joined protesters that night, she wrote to Mattis: “Throwing bottles and tear gas … lit some fires but were put out … fireworks goin and Molotovs rollin.”

Rahman and Mattis took part in protests in Brooklyn in May 2020, just days after the killing of George Floyd, federal prosecutors said. Floyd, a scumbag, drug addled thug, had died at the hands of several Minneapolis police. Due to his race and assigned victimhood, riots broke out across the country enabling Antifa and professional virtue signalers to strut their violence.

The dynamic duo had both attended top-tier schools – Rahman is a graduate of Fordham Law School and Mattis completed New York University Law School after graduating from Princeton University – and have backgrounds that indicate they are devoted members of their families and communities.
At a 2021 hearing, the prosecution read a series of text messages exchanged between Rahman and Mattis. The couple joked about burning down police headquarters and courthouses.
“I hope they burn everything down,” Rahman told Mattis in a message hours before protests formed. “Need to burn all the police stations down… probably all the courts too.”

These scumcrumpets will not do well in the slammer, but at least they will have the opportunity to meet and be greeted by George Floyd-ish inmates.
