“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.
A lot of us dream of using a submarine to attack our enemies. This isn’t exactly what I meant.
The torpedo of truth
Freedom Footlong
Aww diddums
There was a similar case in Russia in 2019 when a guy threw an empty paper cup in a direction of a police line at a protest, and got arrested and was tried for it. Ultimately he was set free, 2019 was very nice time for Russia, comparatively. Will see how American justice system compares.
it smelt like freedom
Pussy
No, onions and mustard.
yes, just like the man said.
No way, was it a BORF sandwich?
Bacon, onions, radish, and french mustard
/c/yestheonion
Or at least AN onion
I relish this joke.
Well, it was assault. Hilarious assault is still assault. As the victim, I’d be too humiliated to press charges.
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?
GET OUT OF MY SWAMP, ICE
The crazy part is i read that in the right voice from the start.
sane of you, not cray <3
meanwhile, there’s another, actually important trial happening that is describing horrific conditions of ice detention.
I’d argue 1st Amendment rights and the weaponization of the legal system are also important.
Are you talking about this trial right?
Judge calls alleged conditions at Chicago-area immigration site ‘disgusting’
We need to stay aware of how this and similar trials unfold around the country.
that’s totally fair. i suppose i meant that this trial should not need to exist because the sandwich debacle should not be any different than someone yelling at them–a simple non violent protest.
and yes, that’s the other trial I’m referring to.
Waste of a sandwich
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.
Poor little pissy pants, must be so hard to be a traitor when you smell like onions and mustard.
