Throwing an object at law enforcement is not speech.

Sandwich throwing is now “free speech”? LOL. The idiot judges continue apace.

So, if I call Mr. Dunn a piece of dung as I hit him with a sandwich, is that protected speech, too? I sure hope so.

Basically, you can be a Leftist Democrat, assault an ICE agent or a Republican in DC and get away with it.

Stick him in the basement with a red stapler.

Eating a sub sandwich should be a crime. Not one single ingredient is good for. you and most will increase your medical bills and shorten your life. And IMHO opinion, they require a BARF ALRT.

It appears he wasn’t found not guilty - the judge just dismissed it.

Neither is throwing a sandwich assault. Harassment would have been the correct charge.

So I guess this clears the way for me to throw objects at the judge, pompous ass that he is.

From the linked article:

“Sean Charles Dunn, 37, was found not guilty of a misdemeanor assault charge by a jury in Washington, DC, federal court”
