“He did it. He threw the sandwich.”
That’s how the defense counsel for Sean Dunn, the man who threw a sub-style sandwich at a Border Patrol officer in Washington, DC, this summer began the federal trial against him Tuesday morning.

GET OUT OF MY SWAMP, ICE
The crazy part is i read that in the right voice from the start.
cunt got to testify about a fucking blt, and humans are being wholesale sold to prisons
fuck this cuntry. America is dead
No. Remember that they could not get this through a grand jury. The Grand Juries are practicing Nullification for these incidents because the public is sick of Trump and ICE. They had to go with a lesser charge for it … and this one stupid case will likely end this prosecutors career.
Aww diddums
Waste of a sandwich
Obviously the border patrol bootlicker isn’t accounting for his own scent which smells like pigshit.
This failed as an assault at the grand jury level, so they had to bring out a weak ass lesser charge.
Video clearly shows that the sandwich was fully wrapped. Why do they need to lie?
Because conservatives are fucking snowflakes.
Seriously, it was a fucking sandwich. Pick it up and eat it or something you miserable excuse for a person. God damn.
New ICE patches: “Don’t bread on me”

I cannot believe we’re wasting taxpayer dollars on a ballistic hoagie attack.
It’s just a shame it wasn’t a lead sandwich traveling at 1500 fps
Assault with a deli weapon
intercontinental ballistic mayonaisse
Top-tier pun!
This is so good it should be illegal.
“ballistic submarine missile” was right there
torpedos away
D’oh!
I’m sure we all know the phrase that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich”. It took prosecutors THREE Grand Juries to finally get an indictment for someone throwing that sandwich.
It’s all a complete waste of time and taxpayer funds, and in any other point in history these prosecutors would have been fired immediately for incompetence at even considering an indictment in the first place, not even considering the possibility that they would try for three attempts.
They never got the indictment. The prosecutor had to downgrade the charges from a felony to a misdemeanor, which doesn’t have to go before a grand jury.
if a grand jury won’t indict, doesn’t double jeopardy apply? not a lawyer, just haven’t dealt with this part of the process before
I didn’t even realize that, last I had heard was them putting it before the third jury, and then that there was going to be a trial.

Actually, it’s even stupider than that I’m pretty sure, two grand juries refused to give them an indictment for a felony charge, so they brought a way less severe misdemeanor charge because you don’t have to get a grand jury to sign off on those, and that’s what we’re wasting this time on
As it so happens, they can indict ham sandwiches, but not turkey subs. And I think this is arguably funnier.
I hope a news outlet has the boldness to run this story after one showing DHS brutality, including the taxpayer costs, and before one about SNAP, healthcare and the shutdown. This administration is well past the point of pissing on Americans while telling them it’s raining.
ballistic hoagie attack
Band name
Dear Lord don’t you know this will lead to ICBMs! Intercontinental ballistic meatballs are nothing to be trifled with. Next they’ll add mozzarella to them
If it makes you feel any better, because of the shutdown, we aren’t spending money on this. \s
I hope the people around him never let him live a minute without being reminded about what a weak little boy he is for whining about taking a soft, succulent sub to the shoulder.
Navy should give him a medal for surviving the first sub attack on US soil.
The Cunt for Red October.
There were 3 submarine attacks on the US in 1942.
those were technically hoagies
Damned historical accuracy getting in the way of a decent joke
…first this century?
The injury was to the ego and authority - of the entire apparatus, not one man. They’re all anxious to bring retribution and remind everyone that the enforcer class is above them and demands your cowering deference.
Succulent…
Let go of my eggplant!
This is delicatessen manifest!
That’s a really good point. I hope he gets a medal for injury in the line of duty with a big, televised ceremony and lots of sandwich puns.
Kinda gives new meaning to the term “war hero”.
As neither party disputes the basic facts of the case, jurors will need to determine whether the sandwich-throwing is enough to convict Dunn on the misdemeanor assault charge.
Even if it is, this is a job for jury nullification.
A DC jury recently acquitted a different resident who was also charged with assault for allegedly moving her knee up toward an officer while being restrained after filming officers as they made immigration-related arrests.
I see that sense is, ever so slowly, being restored.
Pussy
No, onions and mustard.
yes, just like the man said.
I hope the jury are all served sub sandwiches for lunch each day of this trail.
With extra onions and mustard
A salt and buttery with a weapon for mass consumption.
Their were buying yellow cake!
They don’t serve food to juries. If you’re lucky, they give you enough to offset the parking costs.
Yeah, off topic, but it really seems like the court system has adapted over time to disincentivize the lower class from serving on juries.
But you can’t opt out, you legally must serve.
True, but there are ways to get out pretty easily.
My personal favorite is “the defendant didn’t show up”. It’s worked for me twice now.
Just say you hate cops, which is probably true anyway.
In some areas you can just say you don’t want to do it and that you don’t think you could be fair and they’ll just pass on you.
I was called up for jury service a few years ago. I was actually really excited to get someone off, but I wasn’t even put into a pool.
The jurors in the FTX case got pizza ordered for them when they were doing final debate.
Well that’s not the norm
I think they said they’d probably be able to wrap it up that night if they got dinner and the judge was like “hell yeah order up”.
That sandwich did not explode. It flopped limply against his chest just as you would expect a sub from Subway to do.
People are all ACAB but when you hear about the horrors these cops have to face, it makes you think. Could you handle the smell of onions and mustard? Would it make you hungry? What if there were no donuts in the area?
