Sandwich Thrower Becomes Early Symbol Of Trump’s D.C. ‘Crime Emergency’
Huffington Post ^ | 18 Aug, 2025 | Arthur Delaney and Igor Bobic

Both the White House and local activists have highlighted the Subway sub slinger amid Trumps’ police takeover.

WASHINGTON ― As a dozen U.S. Marshals patrolled the busy U Street corridor on Friday night, they faced angry D.C. residents who felt they had no need to be there.

When a HuffPost reporter asked one of the agents if he worried for his safety – that is, if he feared someone might launch a Subway sandwich at him ― he flashed a smile.

“Only if it’s a footlong,” the officer said.

Everyone’s talking about the “assault with a deli weapon,” the “hurl of sandwich” — the felony with a footlong that occurred on Aug. 10 after federal law enforcement officers descended on the city.

As if by mutual agreement between the White House and its haters, the sandwich attack has become a symbol of President Donald Trump’s militarized takeover of D.C.’s police.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the nation’s highest law enforcement official, personally denounced Sean Dunn, the 37-year-old man in a pink polo shirt who allegedly threw a Subway sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol officer. The White House even made a hype video apparently showing his second arrest by heavily armed federal agents.

It was assault plain and simple. I hope more sandwiches are thrown and arrests made. Better than bricks and Molotov cocktails.

Judges jail people for disrespect in court. So, HuffPost is merely being HuffPost.

Interesting it took two "journalists" to write a simple opinion. It's hard being a liberal / Leftist these days.

The left wants to deceive people into believing the police takeover was only about a sandwich.....and not about the feral gang murder, robbery and carjacking problem.

Subway is a Hipoint or Keltec tier sandwich.

It is all they have, when all is said and done.

Exactly. Forget all the rapes, murders, violent assaults, robberies, etc. Trump is just concerned about a sandwich. /spit at enemedia

“In response to a supposed “crime emergency,” masked federal agents have been violently abducting delivery drivers while National Guard troops park their humvees outside Union Station like it’s a war zone.”

More Trump derangement from the usual propagandists.

If Trump held snores conference tomorrow to announce that one plus one is two, the narrative, legacy media would set about to show one plus one was three.

Huffpo is not even a major news outlet anylonger. Not sure why we post this article here.

The families of the 100 people murdered this year in DC are not laughing.
