UN GATE / SDNY,
May 31 – Amid protests
about the murder of George
Floyd, late on May 30 the U.S.
Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York got a
complaint signed by
Magistrate Judge Sanket J.
Bulsara about a Molotov
cocktail attack on an NYPD
vehicle. Inner City Press,
which covered the protested in
Foley Square and at One Police
Plaza on May 29 (video here
and edited here),
and aftermath
on Fifth Avenue on May
30, publishes the
complaint (later-written song
on Soundcloud).
"Defendants
Colinford
Mattis and
Urooj Rahman,
both residents
of Brooklyn,
were arrested
in a van early
Saturday
morning while
allegedly in
possession of
explosive
device
components
shortly after
Rahman hurled
a Molotov
cocktail at an
NYPD vehicle
before fleeing
with Mattis."
We're
talking NYU
and Fordham
graduates, the
former a
member of
Brooklyn
Community
Board 5.
Inner
City Press has
predicted that
on June 1, when
France takes
over presidency of
the UN
Security
Council for the
month, there
will be if
only in a "closed"
VTC a request
for a Security
Council meeting
about the
George Floyd
protests and
response.
Meanwhile UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres,
unlike what
his somewhat
less corrupt
and apathetic
predecessors
would have
done, has been
entirely silent, apparently
only hoping
that protests
don't
turn to or
find out about
the $15
million mansion
he lives
alone with
iron-pumping
guards in, on
Sutton Place
and 57th
Street.
Guterres has banned
Inner City
Press which
asks about his
corruption
from entering
the UN or its
Zoom rooms
for 699 days
and counting.
We'll have
more on this.
