DC is a legal cesspool …

[GingisK]

I agree with the ruling.

[Professional]

So I can throw sandwiches at people, even law enforcement, and that’s not a crime?

[MoreMAGA]

If you can get away with this sh!t...you might be a Democrat

[kiryandil]

I’ll bet if you threw a sandwich at stooge Carl Nichols, the result would be quite different...

[Sarah Barracuda]

12 commies on a jury, they would easily acquit Tyler Robinson if they had the chance

[Dan in Wichita]

Apparently, he wasn’t prosecuted for resisting arrest. When an officer tells you to stop but you run like hell in the opposite direction until tracked down, that is resisting arrest. Wonder why they didn’t charge him on that.

[MoreMAGA]

Salami at Mamdani?

[sport]

Throw me one while you are throwing. A bacon, lettuce. tomato on toast with mayonnaise would be nice.

[Nextrush]

It wasn’t exactly an ‘assault sandwich’ or a ‘sandwich of mass destruction’.

Or does someone out there want to call it “Hoagie Terrorism”?

Maybe “Narco Hoagie Terrorism” if the perp was under the influence of something?

[GingisK]

Wonder why they didn’t charge him on that.

Same here. I think they made a stupid attempt at elevating it to a felony.

[DouglasKC]

How about if he threw a brick?

[Sirius Lee]

So I can throw sandwiches at people, even law enforcement, and that’s not a crime?

The real test is to throw a sammich at, say, a newly elected mayor. A messy one. Egg salad with too much mayo for instance.

[MoreMAGA]

You mean salami...

[lee martell]

Meanwhile, he is now widely known to be an overly emotional idiot, given to tantrums and minor assault.

[The Louiswu]

Someone took this misdemeanor to trial? Why? What purpose did that serve besides wasting taxpayer dollars.

[FLT-bird]

DC Swamp. It is impossible to obtain a fair trial there.

Well, yes and no. Do it to ICE agents in DC and yes, it isn’t a crime to a DC jury. Try doing it most parts of rural America and see how that works out.

[Wayne07]

“I agree with the ruling.”

Please explain.

[GingisK]

Throwing a sandwich does not show intent to harm. A sandwich is NOT a weapon.

If they a tried "resisting arrest" or similar charge they could have gained a misdemeanor conviction. I suspect they made a stupid attempt to elevate the seriousness of the situation.
