I hate the way these retarded cunts write. Five paragraphs can be a single sentence. Urooj Rahman, a Pakistani immigrant lawyer living with her mother in NYC, threw a fire bomb at a police car from the window of a tan van on Friday May 29th, shortly after appearing in an interview where the driver Colin Mattis, an ivy league attorney, was seen loading two large bags into the back of the Town and Country van.

Fucking commies only know how to write filler. It's amazing that they can ever communicate useful information between themselves.

It's quite intentional - they're going into detail about Rahman's personal circumstances to humanise her and make you feel empathy for her. She's just a poor immigrant girl making honest mistakes by firebombing NYPD vehicles - it'd be inhuman to apply the law to this person, you see

The left has truly turned empathy into a weapon. They abuse people’s natural tendency to want to protect the weak for political gain. It’s pervasive.

I agree. That's why I always harp on the fact that these people are commies and are undeserving of sympathy, both in person and online.

This article was featured in One Great Story, New York’s reading recommendation newsletter.

Oh yes, what an uplifting story. Pakistani immigrant attorney throws Molotov at cop car. It's basically slice of life.

One of the first lessons I learned in undergrad was never feel empathy for the criminal. You can sympathize with their circumstances in some cases but should have zero empathy. I've been long inoculated against this bullshit

I remember I made the mistake of watching Trevor Noah about Rayshard Brooks, he essentially recapped the incident and tried to make excuses for Brooks or how the officers could handled things differently.

The part that stood out to me was when after Brooks failed the Field Sobriety Tests Noah said that the officers could have said "well considering all the stuff that's going on between police and black people we're just gonna call you an Uber"

In other words, Noah was saying the cops should have given Brooks a pass, despite being a drunk driver, because he's black.

The author of this piece tries to do the same, downplaying the crime committed by the two and playing up their backgrounds to make them seem sympathetic. As a lawyer myself this shit infuriates me. Because these two were given opportunities that I could never even dream of. The guy in this story went to a fucking corporate law firm and was making six figures as a starting associate. I started at $15 an hour at my first legal job and I couldn't afford to study abroad or do legal work in Northern Ireland. Granted I'm doing much better now, but I also know not to do anything that would jeopardize my career.

Honestly these two deserve to be punished, they should face felony convictions and be disbarred. Then they can live with that kind of shame for the rest of their lives. And if the courts give them a pass or knock it down to misdemeanor vandalism then I don't wanna hear about white privilege ever again.

All they want is for black people to have immunity from the consequences of their shitty, violent actions. The Jews use them as muscle against the white man, and they want privileges for their thugs

If you've ever taken a creative writing class of any sort, its the same problem all amateur writers have. Endless fluff with little substance. Waxing poetically just for masturbatory brain exercises.

Proving as always that journalists are just failed writers.

Public school is a sham of free babysitting under the guise of "education," change my mind.

That would be preferable. Public school actively teaches lies as part of political agitation. It makes people retarded intentionally so they can't understand simple concepts like inflation and taxation.

And, even if you don't believe in that (as many normies seem adverse to the very notion) it still massively stifles the education and growth of our nation's children to push them to equal with the most retarded kid in class.

We are rewarded sub-mediocrity and actively damaging those who could be something of value by trapping them in a worthless box for their most valuable years.

Ontario high schools used to have what was called "streaming". Not in the modern sense, as this was abolished by about 1988 or so, but in the sense that a kid going into grade 9 (my school system didn't have "junior high", you went K-8 and then 9-13 at the time) could choose the difficulty level of most courses - basic, "normal" (it was called something else, but the name escapes me at the moment) and advanced. Grade 13 was optional, mostly for kids going on to university, and is now called "OAC"; I think the difference is just in that now you have to pay for your books instead of renting them. I was done with high school a year or two before they changed things (for the worse, if you ask me. Especially when they made phys ed mandatory, glad I dodged that fucking bullet. The female gym teacher was a bull dyke.)

Anyway, it was up to you what level of course you took, but if you were struggling, or seemed to be cruising through too easily, yeah, they could pull you aside and suggest you take a different difficulty (with no penalty), but they couldn't make you.

This was abolished because the dumbasses thought it was "stigmatizing" the Basic level kids. But I did see an article come and go that suggested they may be thinking of bringing this idea back, for the very reasons advocates didn't want to get rid of it - it just kills the interest of the quicker kids to be bogged down by the slower ones, and the slower ones get frustrated with the higher-level info the quicker kids want to know. Plus the fact that the kids who are going to trades college, or who are just going to drop out in grade 10, probably don't care about the higher details of geography and history and will never use it ...

Yeah, I'm envious of such a program. I was one of those "Gifted and Talented" kids, so I was literally bored to tears for nearly all of public school. Since I lived in such a backwoods place, they literally had to invent a program to put me in, but it still was only 1 of my subjects per year. The rest I was stuck just wish I was dead with the braindead regular students.

It probably would have worked out better in one manner if my mother had let me skip the grades like suggested, but she had the belief (likely correct) that sending a 2nd Grader to high school would fuck me socially.

I learned most things on my own faster than the teachers taught, with a few exceptions.

We should just let the fluff-journos be baristas or similar, and get technical writers to write the news.

These are people the least deserving of this kind of treatment, their friends say, people who are unfailingly kind, gentle, and decent.

People who are “unfailingly kind, gentle, and decent” don’t create Molotov cocktails and commit premeditated firebombings.

He was a corporate lawyer who — after being plucked out of East New York by the scholarship program Prep for Prep — played football at boarding school, joined two eating clubs and a jockish fraternity at Princeton,

What is an "eating club"?

I know in the UK law is an extremely competitive field, getting your law degree is the first of several steps, you then have to complete and pass the legal practitioners course and after that complete a tutelage at a law firm, and even after that you might not cut the muster, all those years wasted because muh acab, fucking retards

Exactly. There are so many ways that a lawyer can "support the cause" but they decided to beviolent thugs instead. Play stupid games.

The reason why Justice is portrayed blindfolded is because all are equal before her. This overly long sob story where they attempt to dredge sympathy for these privileged wannabe revolutionaries, is nothing more than a tool to pressure the justice system and signal to other criminals that they'll get sympathy when they commit acts of political violence.

Press is the enemy of the people.
