A Federal grand jury has refused to indict Sean Charles Dunn for viciously throwing a submarine sandwich at an ICE goon with felony assault on a Federal officer.

Anarchy will, no doubt, ensue, with the brave upholders of all that is just and right being constantly subjected to brutal and life-threatening snack attacks!

Take a warning, Canucks. . . this does NOT entitle you to fling a plate of poutine at a Mountie!

Get your ass kicked that way.

The whole thing was silly & embarrassing. He did something stupid, but he shouldn't have been charged either. Hopefully, he simply gets a fine for said stupidity.

Since they went for a greater charge, I think with double jeopardy that rules out lesser charges. DA rolled the dice and lost.
Nope. They can charge him with misdemeanour assault and, if convicted, he'll get up to a year.

Double jeopardy, down hereabouts, means you can't be TRIED twice for the same offense. He wasn't tried.

I remember years ago NFL Chicago Bears Coach Mike Ditka was walking into the tunnel after his team lost something like 52-0. A fan was razzing him from the stands, so Ditka took this large wad of gum that he was chewing and lobbed it at the fan.

Apparently the wad of gum hit the fan in the chin and the fan sued Ditka for assault! LOL! I don't remember what came of the charge, but boy that was a riot!

D.C. man seen throwing sandwich at agent charged with misdemeanour after grand jury declines indictment

WASHINGTON — A man captured on camera hurling a sandwich at a federal agent in D.C. has been charged with a misdemeanour offence after prosecutors failed to convince a grand jury to return a more serious felony indictment, according to court papers filed Thursday.


The move is a blow to the Trump administration, which had highlighted the felony assault case against Sean Charles Dunn to show it would aggressively prosecute violence against law enforcement — even after Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters who brutally attacked officers with poles and other makeshift weapons.


The White House had spotlighted Dunn’s case with a dramatic social media video of his arrest by federal agents. And Washington’s top federal prosecutor, Jeanine Pirro, also touted the felony charge in another social media video, saying into the camera: “So there, stick your subway sandwich somewhere else.”

Dunn is now charged with simple assault, which carries up to one year behind bars. Misdemeanour charges don’t require prosecutors to go to a grand jury. The felony assault charge calls for up to eight years behind bars. Dunn’s attorney didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment.


It’s so rare for a grand jury not to return an indictment that there’s an old saying that prosecutors could convince a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.” But grand juries have declined to return indictments a handful of times in recent weeks in Washington _ a potential sign of residents’ frustration with the ongoing law enforcement operation that has led to federal charges in many cases that would typically be handled in local court.

A video of Dunn throwing the sandwich at the chest of the agent who was patrolling the nation’s capital went viral in the first days after Trump’s Aug. 11 order for federal agents and troops to flood Washington. Authorities say he also pointed a finger in an agent’s face and swore at him, calling him a “fascist.”

“Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn shouted, according to police.



Dunn tried to run away but was apprehended, police said. He was initially released and later arrested by federal agents on the felony assault charge. It was later revealed that he had been working as an international affairs specialist in the Justice Department’s criminal division, though he was swiftly fired by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In another recent case, prosecutors in Washington acknowledged that three grand juries had voted separately against indicting a woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent outside the city’s jail in July, where she was recording video of the transfer of inmates into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Rebuffed by the grand juries, Pirro’s office is pursuing a misdemeanour assault charge against Sydney Lori Reid instead.
