They overcharged him with a felony. A sign of weakness.
They overcharged him with a felony. A sign of weakness.
This story is clearly a bunch of bologna.
Whoever was the maker of that sandwich needs to give him free sandwiches for life. Bravo. And assault? With a submarine sandwich? Bullfucking shit.
By the time it gets to court, the maga prosecutor will have 3 witnesses to say it was a “sub-machine bun”🙄🙄🙄
Whoever made that sandwich should be sued for handing out deadly assault weapons
Lol
Where can I buy the Tshirt?
Kinda gives new meaning to the word ‘hero’...🤔
Ok, but did anyone check on the sandwich? Will it make a full recovery?
it's toast
🤣🤣🤣
🔥 🍞 🤣👏
I read it was in the sub hospital with two broken tomatoes and a cracked bun.
I hope the evidence collection person had it for dinner and destroyed the evidence.
Death by a million subway sandwiches....everyone should start handing out subway sandwiches to these guys. Not violently but gently in protest of his arrest & the situation.
Subway should be paying the sandwich guy a fortune for all the free advertising. He's done more to improve their brand than their entire marketing team has done since the brand tanked back when "the voice of Subway" Jared Fogel was convicted of possession of child porn and sex with a minor.
moldy ones tho
🤣
So, typical sandwiches from Subway, then?
😂
Pork sandwiches ?
That's extra trumpian....🤣
Yup acab
Weirdest subway order ever I’ll take 100 turkey Sammy’s with extra spit.
🤣
They would still call it assault
Baloney.
🏆🤣
Well I like to see a judge convict on that because a jury of his peers sure the hell won't. Talk about snowflakes that officer is most definitely a snowflake
Next time I guess he should hit him with a flagpole or spray him with bear spray so he can get a pardon from the fat felon.
Sandwiches are dangerous! Imagine getting hit by a ham sandwich?Terrifying!
thank goodness sandwich guy is off the streets!
I have reviewed the video. He got overly excited and the sandwich merely slipped from his hand and somehow made contact with the snowflake officer and being considerate he ran off to get some napkins.
You show great promise as a defense attorney 🤣🤣🤣
You win!
😂
Yes! There was most likely some mayonnaise on the wrapper that made it extra slippery.
Is there a GFM for his legal defense? I
Well crap: It was almost lunchtime; he was just giving the officer his lunch.
Dear god, he threw a sandwich. Throw him into a cell at Alligator Alley. Seriously, I would much prefer having a sub thrown at my chest, then having all this bullshit about violent crime lobbed at my head.
OMG next KKK ICE will dig up Mrs. Doubtfire and file charges for drive by fruity… seriously nothing better to do with Federal Resources then this…omg wait… maybe Subway sandwiches can destroy bullet proof vests… umm did it have chipotle dressing???
Sandwich guy’s confession 😂😂
He did what WE all want to do and he did it in Pretty in PINK 🤌🫶him/he 😍
Assault with a breadly weapon is a serious crime. 🥖
Hahahaha!!! Seriously if he had tossed one of my mom’s health food loafs, he would’ve dropped that guy.
Assault with a tasty weapon!
🍻💀 🏆
I came here for this comment ftw.
Life in prison without a roll
😂
I love your rye humor.
Nice 😂
Sandwiches are the new milkshakes.
Does this guy have a sponsorship from Subway or Jersey Mikes yet?
Did I ever tell you, you're my HERO? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle. For you are the wind beneath my wings.
What a waste of a good sandwich 🥪
No need to be sad for it, it was a subway sandwich.
You know how weak the cops look when a sub sandwich makes them testify they were in fear of bodily harm and afraid for their lives? 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🏆 Not all heroes wear capes!!
The good ones just need a napkin
no need to show fear of bodily harm nor afraid for their lives to prove assault on a federal officer. Now, whether a DC jury will convict on these facts is questionable. Good luck prosecuting this one.
How are they going to find twelve people who will stop laughing for long enough to convict, though?
12 Hangry Men
This is way funnier than people are acting
Bastards They’d never have gotten me to admit to more than a grinder
I want to buy the sandwich guy a beer.
He’s earned a place on our wall of fame, Stonewall 2025
This is again, so pathetic, these “officers” are beating up on people, tazing them, throwing people to the ground and this guy gets charged with “assaulting” someone with a sandwich? Really?
What a waste. Eat the sandwich and throw the trash!
😳
Our tax dollars at work to get those real criminals off the streets! The level of stupidity of MAGAts is immeasurable.
Does he not know how much deli meat costs these days?! wtf would you waste a perfectly good sandwich!!!
It was subway, not “perfectly good”
Oh. Ehh. It’s mostly bread then lol
Violent crime on DC streets! Sandwich-related assaults are up 1200 percent.
This is the sorta copy cat thing I can get behind. Hilarious.
When the troops return to Portland, and they will, $5 says we citizens of Rose City will pelt them with ciabatta!! LOL! I hope this becomes a thing, too! 🤣🤣🤣
Seems a small price to pay.
Blessings to the Sandwich Guy!!! Love that man!
Luigi lite
Many people are saying Trump will reduce them by 1500%
The inverse of drug prices under MAGA, so that is what the kids call vertical synergy
Sandwichgate….. Good time to release the Epstein files!
I didn’t think there was enough mustard on that thrown sandwich to garner this charge.
a knuckle sandwich
Time for martial law. Can't be throwing sandwiches. Guns are fine, but this is way over the line.
Thoughts and prayers. There's no law that could have prevented this. Sandwiches don't assault people, people do.
Tots and pears go well with sandwiches.
Looks like crime is going up with more police and soldiers on the beat. Perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy. Trump the ‘genius’ does it again!
and how is the delicate cop doing that was wearing full gear, did he break a nail 🤣
No, just a sweat
Can that be a thing? can everybody protest by chucking a meatball sub at these idiots? I mean, I’m not for hoagie abuse a lot of them really look like they need to eat fresh;)
I love this thread!
I would contribute to pay his legal fees.
What can we do for this guy? Does he need bail?
Free him. He did nothing wrong.
That is just ridiculous
Laughable. Pardons for violent J6 rioters and this guy charged for throwing a sandwich. 🥪 🤦🏻♀️
The difference is that you can be pretty sure no Democrat will announce they'll pardon him if elected President (which is why they keep losing)
You nailed it!
Let the side-by-side memes begin being prepared
Now that is an excellent point
Isn’t the sandwich at fault here?
🤣 Pam blondie will surely be charging that sandwich with assault by bologna
Lol
100%
People don't assault police Sandwiches assault police Btw ... Where in the hell is the 2A crowd with the "muh guns are to protect gainst the tranny of the federal gubermint putting troops on the streets?" No a single, solitary peep.
There were good sandwich...eh people on both sides. 🤭
I was chastised for having a wrapped granola bar in my purse when I toured the Capitol building.
They beat cops senseless.
So, ICE felt threatened by a sandwich.
Maybe it was it a torpedo sandwich? If it was trump throwing it, it would be a pedo sandwich. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
That sandwich had holy water in it. That’s lethal to ICE thugs.
While wearing a tactical vest! These guys are soft. 😅🤣😂
It wasn't ICE, it was--idk, not NG either? Some Feds that actually leave their faces uncovered. To their credit, they just stood there immobile while he was screaming in their faces, only taking off after him like Keystone Kops when he threw the sub. Pretty Mayberry by U.S. standards really.
Customs & Border Patrol officer.
Sorry, CBP stands for Customs and Border Protection. That sub agency of DHS (lol, lmao) contains within it BP, which IS Border Patrol
Yes, sorry…had a brain fart while typing it earlier. 😆
gotta mind that DC border with, uh, you know. All those other countries.
Ikr?
Is it within a hundred miles of the ocean? Then the cpb can do whatever they want to do without regards to constitutional rights, warrants or normal legal procedure.
I mean, but they’re behaving like ICE. Tomato/tomato.
Snowflake much ?
CPB, they are just as bad as ICE though.
It was brown bread.
bsky.app/profile/ched...
It was loaded.
You never know.
Subhuman behavior
🤣
😂😂
👏👏👏
Loaded with lettuce, pickles and onions, oh my. 😁
Now I'm really hungry! 😀
Assault with a deli sandwich. As a protest move the sandwich thrower went against the whole grain. 🙄 Nothing funnier to me then watching someone chase someone else because of them committing ham slaughter. So proud of all DC protesters. 👏👏
That mayo is incredibly difficult to get off stuff...
🤣🤣🤣
👏👏👏
That's follow material is what that is.
Yes, but it had pickles on it! 😱
They feel threatened by skin color so a sandwich isn’t much of a surprise
ICE agents are all crybabies. Weaklings.
His attorney is fire 🔥. Watch this one quietly disappear.
“Yes, your honor, I confess that I threw the sandwich at this man. But I thought that he looked hungry!”
“Agent throught he was bleeding, but it turned out to be ketchup.”
Like on trumps ear
Has he been nicknamed “the Subway Fugitive” yet?
“Suspect is armed with sandwich, chips and pickles and is considered dangerous.”
If I was on the eventual jury in this case I would vote not guilty, this case is baloney
Fuckin hero finally shows up!! Stop filming and start stopping the Gestapo. They like jumping 6 on 1, let’s see if they like the same done to them. If there is 10 of them, 50 hero’s need to show up!

"The sandwich to go heard round the world."
Officers seem to have very short fuses. Speaking of fuses, aren’t they trained to defuse situations rather than inflame them? As an aside, it was a wrapped sandwich so I doubt his uniform was even soiled.
Cops strangled Eric Garner to death for selling cigarettes, entered the wrong house and killed Breonna Tayler without identifying her, kneeled on George Floyd's neck until he died for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill. They're not at all trained to defuse & often use 'roids. Drug test cops.
Great idea. Also, a person can have training, but refuse to put it into practice.
That IS true, however: www.apmreports.org/story/2021/0...
Thanks for that! That’s shocking, as is the link at the bottom of the page, “Not trained not to kill.”
Apparently ICE agents are snowflakes ❄️!
He should get a medal.
Please have a GoFundMe. 🤣
“What’s the crime? Throwing a meal? A sweet delicatessen meal?”
😂😂😂
This is democracy manifest!
He would not have been arrested if he had thrown a dildo instead.
I threw the sandwich that I bought at the subway and which left a stain on his tactical vest
Niiiice!
"I threw the sandwich."
Thank god the officer was wearing body armor
Good for him! Resistance is the way! This is just one form to release our collective rage.
Shame with Subs!
Captain, there’s only 10 of us, we are going to need backup. White people are throwing subway at us.
Back in the day he would've been charged with public disturbance, now these sissies that want respect, charge ppl like him with assault. Pussies.

Assault with a deadly sandwich. I bet that lunchmeat was full of nitrates!
CBP officer is a crybaby… being hit by a sandwich.. really? The officers called to protect our elected officials on J6 were beaten for hours.. sprayed with toxins, hit with metal pipes.. crutches, smashed by doors, threaten to be shot with their own gun…. dtrumpf pardon them… what a sick fk
The officer is traumatized now by being hit with a sandwich…he now has BLT-PTSD! 🤣
#LetSandwichGuyGoFree #StandWithSandwichGuy
Start the outrage onslaught. Prepare your city councils to beware of fed authorities moving into our cities in response to harmless actions and protests. People are holding shit together pretty well xc for the MAGAt crazies who prefer to shoot people dead. Just a sando, but cracks are appearing
Not to worry. Trump pardons those who assault the police.
🎵I threw the sandwich But I did not throw the bag of chips🎵
Name that tune! 😂😂😂 (The meter is perfect!)

Maybe the gestapo should have eased on down the road instead of inciting a sandwich throw. What babies.
Was this during hoagie fest?
So where do we donate to his legal fund?
It won’t take long at this rate and that sandwich will be replaced with a brick. And the target will be higher than the middle of the vest.
Hero throws hero

The "I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth" section seems pretty apt for the present...

Wow police must be so soft to get upset over a sandwich!
A lot of them do look kinda doughy
If a person supposed to “protect people” is fried over a little dough it’s over for them idk what to tell them

This is extremely my shit, Spock 🖖
Jersey Mike needs to post his bond.
They only donate to the GOP. Can’t find out Subway’s affiliation. But somebody needs to defend Sandwich Hero!
And hire him as their new spokesperson. I’d be a customer for life.
But you already know everything he could tell you (aside from the ingredients of the sandwich he threw). If you're not already convinced to be their customer for life, what would his endorsement change?
Can you say more about Jersey Mike?
I was assuming, from thread context, that the sandwich came from a store in the Jersey Mike's chain. There's now reporting that it was a Subway sandwich. The thrower could still go on to rep Jersey Mike's or any other sandwich maker (or grocery?) and my concerns over the logic are misplaced.
They should do it anyway bc it would be hella funny.
Jersey Mike's having a guy who "assaulted" a cop with a sandwich for their spokesperson might just be the most "Jersey" thing they could do.
I concur.
And we in NJ would be proud.
He has to wear the same pink shirt and khaki shorts in all the commercials.
Especially since Subway refuses to offer this man free sandwiches for life.
Well, duh, they're on team pedo.
Then Jersey Mike's should give him the free subs he deserves. That would be the cherry on top. Their sandwiches taste better and make better projectiles. 😋
Jersey Mikes are redhats. No free sandwiches from them. 🤢
Nooooooo!
Sad but true.
Unfortunately, I think Jersey Mike is a Trump supporter.
He is. 🤢
What will the charges be ? Actual assault? Was it a club sandwich?
Oh my pearls💙🤣💙🤣💙🤣💙🤣

I've also heard assault with a deli weapon and assault with a breadly weapon. The sandwich puns on are on fire today.

No chips, just a nice big side of jury nullification.

This proves how pathetic + desperate trump's traitors are.
Oh that poor poor policeman, how will he ever recover from being assaulted with a sammie. 🙄 Those fucking azzholes. They choose to do this disgusting work, they need to accept the consequences that normal people will get upset.
#hero #goodtrouble
It seems that the cop in question was wearing a tactical vest. Are they going to tell us that the vest is ineffective against a sandwich?
It could have been an armor piercing sandwich. You never know!
It still smells like oil, vinegar and oregano. It's spoiling the cop's donuts.
Cop going into court
😂😂😂
It hurt his feelings 🙀❤️🩹
Because…. If so… Imagine the possibilities.
Turns out pepperspray doesn’t spray that kind of pepper.
A tactical vest does not claim to protect the wearer’s feelings.
Sub-standard.
And, isn’t this why they wear masks, to not risk having to taste a Subway sammich?
They don’t work if they get mustard on them!
Kevlar isn't stain-proof.
It's not a girdle!
I mean, it was thrown FORCEFULLY.
"Throwing a sub into his chest"? Seriously? "Into" implies penetration. What kind of terminal velocity is this food item supposed to have had?
It's probably from Amazon, so likely substandard protection against sandwiches.
Bahahahahaha
Mustard stains are forever
Well your honor, it shows quite clearly in the Tactical Vest Test Report that it was never designed for, nor tested against, sandwich-based threats.
Shame. Food is sacred and should never be wasted.

These a-holes are walking around in full battle rattle and they are scared of some words and a sandwich. What a bunch of crybaby fascists
What an absolutely 'heinous' act after having your city invaded for no good reason. MAGA: "I hope he gets the death penalty."
What I don't understand is how this police report does not actually exonerate the perpetrator. Is a Customs And Border Patrol agent anywhere near their jurisdiction when in Washington, D.C.? What legal authority do they have to enforce any law in this setting? Ergo, how is this an assault on a law
enforcement officer and not just basic assault... the type of which prosecuting is a waste of a federal court's time, attention and efforts (much like charging an "I'm not touching you" jerk with harassment)?
Did you actually think about those questions you’re asking?
Moving to DC in hopes I get on the jury.
Where’s the gofundme, I’ve got some $$ to donate.
Amazing how much of a snowflake every in the trump admin is. From the POTUS all the way down to the jackbooted thugs in traipsing around in full battle rattle. I thought these were supposed to be tough guys.
those sound like charges that 1 year ago would have really pissed off any decent judge. i believe the phrase is "laughed out of court"
I threw the sandwich That's balogna! It was Tuna fish you idiot!
Thank you for your service against false V-1.
I can see why the Pedo Prez had to act. Things in DC have gotten out of hand. Next it will be bagels and after that maybe even - horrors- burgers.
Burgers might be a bridge too far, considering the price of beef!
...and then.... horror of horrors..(gasp)..the KETCHUP!!!
No wonder DC needs help with policing. Their officers are apparently total snowflakes.
It was an ICE agent who was the "victim."
SAD.
For Christ’s sake! Relax! It’s not like it was a steak bomb.
Wow, these heavily armed fascist can be awfully sensitive. 😢❄️❄️❄️
I hope Subway starts at two for 1 foot long deal one to eat and one to toss at evil
Brilliant
This guy should win the Noble Peace prize for admitting something. Bring honesty back Merica
When he does go to court, every other person in the room should get up one at a time and say "I threw the sandwich!"
Then say”Rubble Rubble!” and run out of the courtroom with Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac in hot pursuit.
👍
calling this a crime, what a bunch of bologna
How it's Dunn Dunn Dunn.
So what did it piss the stupid fucking idiot guy off Because he couldn't eat it off his clothes Or what?!
So this is what taxpayers are paying for huh? A real scary criminal. Someone please make a meme of this and post on Truth Social. Better yet….a billboard at the WH gates.

How many people are going to walk the streets with sub sandwiches today?!

Yes, funny. I'm just wondering if it is a crime yet to yell.
Give it time. They seem pretty sensitive. ❄️❄️❄️
Indeed. I know that the First Amendment means to them only that they get to say what they want without any public or even private consequence, but I do want to know at what volume speech becomes "assault."
Im guessing here, but they'll say it's when they feel in any way threatened.
Ye, when we open our mouths.

The dude should tell them he's a close friend of Jared (the former Subway Spokesman) so Trump will pardon him.

I suspect bail has been made . . and then some😀.
Sounds like George Washington...but not like Lyin'Donnie Trump.
DC sandwich guy charged with assault with a deli weapon.

Oh no, was the sandwich okay?
Can I go all Q here. This guy threw a sub. Who was the spokesperson for Subway for a bunch of years? That's right...Jared. And what is Jared in jail for? Don't you see how it all fits together?
They are diddle buddies
No littering charge though?
I am guessing they plan to deport the sub.. I mean it’s brown😉😉
Where is the fund me and my sub throwing habit sub-raiser?
The sandwich was so stale as to cause actual harm? Dang!! 😆
I guess their tactical gear isn’t sandwich resistant, hope the officer didn’t have to spend the night in the ER.
First time the tiny dicked fascists have seen something six inches long.
I didn’t know Subway had Fa’Loney sandwiches on their menu!
So violent!

they're pathetic how much time and money are they going to waste to take this to court
How pathetic does this LEO have to be? If someone threw a sandwich on me and DA wanted to indict I’d be like nah, I’m good.
I LOVE this. I want to donate to his legal defense.
All it takes is one jury member to send him home. Good luck with that.
Elect me president and I will pardon the sub thrower and also get CBP out of DC.
No, that wasn't a sub....it was a hero.
I hope they bought him another sandwich on the way to station. If a kid who just murdered people at a church can go to Burger King on the way.

assault with a tasty weapon
If he is the sub., imagine how the dom. goes by
If only he had attacked the officer with a flag-pole, then he might have a chance at a pardon.
A sandwich? Really
"Forcefully" Had it not been thrown forcefully, there would be no case But he threw the sandwich "forcefully" Law is law Dura lex sed lex: I am sorry but it's not me that makes the rules😎🤓
If only the law applied to everyone.
If they're going to charge you with assault anyway might as well throw in a pizza too
Shouting in public is NOT “assault.” It is a protected Constitutional right. Throwing a sandwich-and apparently making contact - although requiring laundry pre-treatment - is hardly “assault.” I hope the touchy government lawyers are laughed out of court.
#badlegaltakes
#bageltakes ??
Throwing the sandwich was 100% battery. Yelling in someone's face can be assault if it makes the person fear for their safety. That pig obviously didn't fear for their safety before the sandwich hit, though. And I doubt any DC jury would convict if the guy pushed for a trial
Today I learned that DC doesn't separate assault and battery! They're both under assault with higher penalties for stuff like broken bones. The more you know 🌈
Depending on the sandwich, it might not be assault, it might be an oregano.
technically it is, for better and for worse; you can get assault charges for throwing a drink in someone's face, not just a cop either. that said, "no (D.C.) jury would convict" probably.
Assault is a threat to physical harm, creating a reasonable fear of battery. Battery involves physical contact. A drunk man hitting an officer (expressly on the streets to intimidate) with a sandwich, in ARMOR, and charging that man is the most feeble, pathetic, cowardly excuse of policing there is
Is he a real officer of the law?
Definitely a potato sack dressed as a Rent-a-Nazi
I dunno about that. I just read serious legal testimony concerning MTG’s pockets and an Arby’s roast beef sandwich.
Eh, legally it’s totally assault & if he goes to trial jury instructions will be “did he throw the sandwich or not” If he doesn’t have any priors can probably plead out to some probation & community service, but they’ll threaten him with a couple years in prison
Is it assault if the perpetrator knows his sandwich will not cause harm to the target? Because assault requires intent to do harm or cause bodily injury. mpdc.dc.gov/sites/defaul... Sounds like they’re just trying to run up this dude’s legal bills.
I think in court they’ll have no trouble arguing that because he threw it in anger while intoxicated he could have caused harm and any reasonable person would know that he could cause harm & at least half of any jury won’t need any convincing.
It’s DC. Chances are high that the jury will see this bullshit for what it is.
They’ll bring in an expert witness to discuss the one or two documented freak accidents where a thrown sandwich landed in someone’s eye and made them go blind or whatever
But yes, they’ll also try to run up his legal bills and make him genuinely fear they’re going to press for a maximum sentence to get him to plead to a lesser one, standard procedure in criminal cases
Maybe apocryphal, but heard of a domestic assault case (brother v. brother-in-law). V was a PO. Judge asked V, were you afraid (of BIL’s actions). V, being macho, said “NO.” Judge directed a finding of not guilty as being placed in fear is an element of assault.
He should take this to trial, no one is convicting him in DC.
Under US Code: If the Officer knew it was a soft, harmless (and tasty) hoagie, it actually may not be assault. But if defendant through the tasty hoagie with the intent to get Fed Officer to eat it instead of performing his duties, probably...assault
I'd be a "not guilty".
However if I was on the jury I still would say it WASN'T assault. J6 was assault
Apparently there's precedence in this case. bsky.app/profile/chur...
Assault requires that the person intends to injury a person. The jury instructions will be did he intend to injury the officer?
If you throw something at someone when you’re angry then you intended to harm. I think that’s a little ridiculous when the something is a sandwich and the “victim” is wearing body armor, but that’s the way the criminal justice system thinks
No. The reason we have juries is to apply logic and experience. You have to convince a group of people that throwing a sandwich was intended to harm someone. If you and I don't think that this amount to an attempt to harm a jury of people like you won't either.
But most charges don’t lead to jury trials & in most cases going to trial (as opposed to taking a plea bargain) sets you back *another* $10K or more in legal fees & you’ll be gambling that the jury will see things as you do, which may be common sense but not what the criminal statute says.
Like I truly don’t believe this guy should be facing these charges & I do hope that they are dismissed or he’s found not guilty & in this particular case his odds are good. Also he’ll likely be able to crowdfund to cover his legal fees given all this publicity.
But I’ve been on the receiving end of an inflated/ridiculous criminal charge & I wish people would understand that right & reason aren’t the main forces at work in the criminal justice system & mounting even a successful defense can wreck your life & finances for a looong time
I don’t have the time or inclination to go into details but I’ve experienced firsthand the absurdity of our criminal justice system and everyone saying “it was only a sandwich, how can they call it an assault” just isn’t getting how things tend to work. Not how they *should* work, how they do
Minimum mandatories would come into play. Several examples in DC in 2025. Most likely an A2 charge with possible fine
Absurdity is rampant.
Given the context, it was an extension of his free speech, not reasonably calculated to cause any physical harm, part of the "rudeness" of free speech that officers of the law are expected to tolerate. No really, the cops' attitudes have changed to tough guy, but the law is still "protect & serve."
I mean you’re free to throw a sandwich at a federal officer and make this claim in court if you want.
As I’ve mentioned in other replies here, I’ve had firsthand experience with facing serious charges for a minor offense & I wouldn’t play around here if you’re not ready to have your life turned upside down for a few years. Looking at $10k for legal bills in a best case scenario.
It's a misdemeanor, disorderly conduct. But everything is performance drama with these MAGA freaks, so they're charging him with a felony assault. And they're gonna get laughed right out of court.
Yes ty
It’s battery since he actually hit the pig with the sub.
If you’re serious about resistance in these type of matters when the city is occupied and when you’re a juror, just say not guilty.
Oh I agree, but I think that it’s easier to say you’d do jury nullification than to actually follow through when you’ll likely be dealing with peer pressure from other jurors & all 12 of you will have gotten instructions that you’re only supposed to consider what the statute says & no wider context
years ago I plead guilty on a stupid charge that in some places would be ripe for jury nullification. Discussing options w/my lawyer he advised me that it’s deeply foolish to hope someone on the jury will share your opinion on the absurdity of the charges, jury nullification is basically nonexistent
You will never actually know if that is true, and your lawyer will never know either, because of the Comply In Advance machine. Hardly ever put to the test. Also, "peer pressure", why on earth would anyone care what 11 total strangers you will never see again think
On the first part I mean yeah, sure, to a degree, but if you have a lawyer you trust & they’ve been repping defendants in that community for over a decade they probably have a good sense of the odds.
And yeah the “comply in advance machine” sucks, but like, in my case the offer was no jail, community service & $2k fines if I took the plea, or the DA would ask for 3 months jail if I lost at trial. 3 months in jail is enough to lose everything. Maybe the DA is bluffing, but do you chance it?
I did not mean to judge you for your choices. The sandwich guy is as far from a typical criminal assault case as can be imagined.
On the jury peer pressure thing, that’s just basic social dynamics. Some people can resist that for awhile, but if you’re the one keeping everyone from going home day after day…people care about that stuff, it’s not easy pissing off people you’re spending all day locked in a room with
I've never been on a jury, but it shouldn't take any significant education to realize that if you say "not guilty", it's over and they can't do jack about it. As for peer pressure, I don't get it. Make clear you're not changing your mind and the jury can quit at any time, can they not?
You're right but I think a lot of it is based on ignorance. It sure doesn't help that judges basically lie about it to the juries, and lawyers select against knowledge of it when picking the members of those juries.
This is screaming jury nullification though. Risky but I know I would have trouble not laughing my ass off during deliberations.
No jury for a misdemeaner.
Would be charged as a felony
Why do you think that? 18 USC 111 (a) 1 is class A misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of up to a year in prison. My understanding is only “petty offenses” that is offenses with a maximum penalty of 6 months or less are excluded from the right to a jury trial.
He’s being charged with a felony assault on a police officer. He’s looking at a year of legal hassles and probably at least 20 grand in legal fees in the best case scenario where he gets off completely.
He is being charged with violating 18 USC 111(a)1 which is a class A misdemeanor and not a felony. His charges are in the statement of facts above at the end. I agree he is looking at least a year of legal hassle. As the saying goes—you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.
Judge Jeanine put out a video saying they’re charging him with felony assault. Maybe she’s bullshitting, maybe they decided they could get away with bumping up the charges
She’s not a judge. She’s a prosecutor.
lol I might have been mixing her up with Judge Judy

I stand corrected. But catching a felony for throwing a sandwich is some straight up bullshit.
Is it a misdemeanor charge? I’d assumed felony but if you’re right that’s great
Throwing a sub is not felony assault 😂😂😂
Sure it is. It involves LEO. They’ll charge it as a felony
Oregon is so different. 😂
Yes, in Oregon the throwing of the sandwich would be charged as a misdemeanor unless the officer was someone injured it
bsky.app/profile/patr...
Yep. All day every day.
They're making it felony assault. Just to be vindictive, which is all Trump has.
They’re charging him with felony assault on a police officer. They’ll at least threaten him with the max sentence which is probably at least 10 years.
That doesn’t mean he gets convicted or gets a sentence anywhere near that long, but people need to be aware that this admin is going to go all out on punishing people and while it may be legit funny & pretty cool what this guy did, he’s got a rough road ahead of him.
I mean I think it absolutely can be? America has really strict laws! Anytime you touch someone in any way against their will it’s potentially a felony assault (or battery I can’t remember which is which) offense!
But you understand that that’s fucking stupid, right
Laws written neutrally AT BEST in satire of the spirit of good faith between a one-party-two-aesthetics imperial state that lies through its teeth about laws like this being useful to civilian conflicts when they’re actually gonna be used exactly like this more often than not: fuck that shit ok
Ok op appears to know it’s stupid but like. Others should also know It’s fucking stupid
This is amusing, if Jan 6 assholes had attacked with sandwiches, Trump would have made them stay in prison?
The jury needs to accidentally get some pamphlets about jury nullification. That shit judges pull should be illegal.
If you're interested in Jury Nullification fliers and pamphlets visit FIJA.org It's constitutionally protected to distribute such pamphlets outside courthouses. Just remember to give to everyone and not target a specific case or jury
If you just happen to get ALL prospective jurors while on public property, it's a lot harder for them to argue jury tampering. They might try, though. Other DAs have.
There is some truth in that!
If they don't change the venue, they won't find a single jury that will convict.
I hope he fights this! I really want to find out if the judge can convict him and not laugh 😂. Someone needs to be in court to cover this story, it’s gonna be a doozy!
Very true!!!
I don't think they'll find a jury in D.C that will convict.
🙏🤞🍀
🤞🙏🍀
It won’t be a jury, just a judge.
Updated. Charged with felony assault on a police officer. bsky.app/profile/patr...
Said the drunk who was arrested for driving 119 miles an hour. She paid a fine and walked.
Her outfit should be a felony-visual assault
I’ll give her some credit though for not being obviously intoxicated. Must’ve filmed this at 8 am, she’s just had the first nerves-steadying drink of the day
He might well say that he nervously surrendered his sandwich because he felt threatened and frightened and just wanted to leave.
I want to be on that jury. I might find him guilty of bad taste for eating at Subway but, I guess that’s not a crime.
🤣
Give him credit for throwing the Subway sub.
It was an assault sub!
Border Patrol is acting like the sandwich had immigrants hiding in the mayonnaise. Was it a footlong? He probably felt emasculated by its overwhelming girth. Cowards. We don't want them in any city. They should move to Germany and see how far their nazi salutes get them.
Sometimes Heroes are more than sandwiches.
Shout out to Heroes and Hoagies
The GoFund me is where? Seriously.
lol, the world is waiting.
At first, I thought he was naked, 'Oh great. Naked crazy guy throwing sandwiches at the NG.'
