Customs and Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore told the jury the snack “exploded all over him” and he “could smell the onions and mustard” on his uniform.
Neither side disputes that Sean Dunn, 37, did in fact lob obscenities and a deli-style sandwich at officers deployed by President Donald Trump to patrol the nation’s capital in August. But Mr Dunn’s lawyer argues it was not a criminal act.
The incident was captured on video and went viral, making Mr Dunn a symbol of opposition in Washington DC to Trump.
Government prosecutors initially tried to secure felony charges against Mr Dunn, but a grand jury declined to indict him. Prosecutors have instead charged him with a lower-level misdemeanour assault.
let me get this straight.
when a cop shoots pepper balls into a crowd, the citizens “walk into the path of” them and it’s the citizens fault.
but when a citizen throws their sandwich into a crowd, it’s not the cops fault for “walking into the path” of his sandwich?
🤔 something ain’t right here…
Obviously this kind lad was just feeding a helpless, hungy cop and tossed the sandwich too enthusiastically.
