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.

You just described my entire public school experience as a creative writing class.

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.

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.
