Technically, it was a “meat sandwich” thrown at “point-blank range” only to “explode” all over.
*actual language from the trial. Probably the hottest action meal-team 6 ever got.
“I had to smell onions!”
They were into that.
Clearly Trump is trying to make an example of him. A jury trial for a single misdemeanor? Either way, there’s good odds he’ll be financially ruined by the lawyer bill. A trial is a minimum of $15k to start.
This will become an exemplar for We The People to self police going forward.
If he hasn’t crowd funded his legal expenses it’s because he’s actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.
Is it a grift if you need the money for the stated purpose?
No, I mean he could raise way more than his defense will cost. He’s kind of one of the mythic figures of the resistance.
When the early revolution is recorded to history, we’ll remember such luminaries as the Portland Frog, Polka Dot Lady, and Sandwich Guy.
He probably could. IDK what people would do with the extra in that case, but even if they kept it I wouldn’t call it a grift. A grift is basically synonymous with scam. It requires being deceptive of either the purpose of collecting money or in the goods/service being provided.
Raising funds for self defense isn’t a grift. Do you not know what that word means?
Edit this comment and don’t call it a grift. Helping people fight fascist is not the same as biggots gifting after losing their job for attending Nazi rallies.
A jury trial for a single misdemeanor?
That’s your right. The defendant can choose whether to have a jury or bench trial.
Clearly in this case you want the jury. You want them to look at the ridiculousness of the case and throw it the fuck out regardless of the legality.
If corporations are people, then sandwiches are speech.
If you throw a soft fluffy pillow or a submarine sandwich the punishment is the same? What about intent? Does that come into play? Oh, I forgot, there is no law anymore, just retribution.
Same punishment as a brick, or acid, or a bunch of razors. Really makes you think.
How about feathers? Straight to jail?
I’m selling loose, dead D and C cell batteries. No reason, I just have lots

Assault with a deli weapon.
While it is of course illegal to throw anything at anyone this should be treated as civil disobedience or an act causing negligible societal harm and be dismissed.
I feel like this should just be a fine. Seems like a waste of resources.
Shouldn’t even be a fine, it was a fucking sandwich.
I think the charges should be dismissed and he should be compensated for this bullshit
Even a bad example is a good example of a bad example.
I mean that sandwich could have ignited and sprayed out noxious chemicals that irritated his eyes and throat, oh wait that’s fucking tear gas those racist fascist cowards are actual using on civilians.
They need for this to be a crime, otherwise it sets a precedent of what can be legally done to a federal agent without legally sanctioned retaliation.
I keep wondering when people will start throwing rotten tomatoes at ICE chuds…
You have to yell “food fight!” before you do something like that
that sandwich had a REALLY HARD CRUST dude!
I thought they already failed to indict this protestor?
[update]
A grand jury refused to indict Dunn on a felony assault count, part of a pattern of pushback against the Justice Department’s prosecution of surge-related criminal cases. After the rare rebuke from the grand jury, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office charged Dunn instead with a misdemeanor.
these incompetents will keep trying to make a case out of this, watch. double, triple jeopardy whatever it takes.
I wonder if this is being driven by trump himself or miller. my money is on miller.
Producer Amy Pascal threw a sandwich at producer Kevin Feige over a disagreement about bringing Spiderman into the MCU
And in the near future those things will always be both.
Please go to jury. I want to know if jury nullification will happen.
The trial already started… That’s the point of the article. The first paragraph mentions the jury…
