    If I were a juror I’d nullify, and then subsequently consider suing the state for involving me in a frivolous lawsuit that financial harmed me.

    A jury trial for throwing a sandwich?

    If they’re gonna overreact maybe make sure you’re getting your money’s worth, huh?

    I’m just noticing that the media doesn’t have to use the passive voice about criminal allegations when it decides not to.

    So if throwing a sandwich at a police officer is a serious crime, there must be a backlog in the courts from all the shit nurses have to put up with on a regular shift for half the pay, eh? Police and ICE are the biggest, softest little crybabies there are in this world. And I’m including actual babies in that stat.

    Prosecutors hit Dunn with a misdemeanor assault charge in August. That came a day after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office failed to persuade a grand jury to indict Dunn on felony charges — a sub -optimal result for prosecutors.

    Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.”

    As we all know, the damage fall-off for a comestible projectile is pretty drastic, so the fact that it was “point-blank range” is a really meaningful detail, and definitely not meant to just be inflammatory.

    Oh, also:

    Since then, “sandwich guy” has become a bread-and-butter part of D.C.’s resistance to the president.

    We the jury find the defendant guilty of wasting a perfectly good sandwich, when samples of dog poop were readily available for throwing at fascists.
