This is what you call getting away with being a knucklehead.
Remember Sandwich Slinger, the former government employee who tossed his Subway order at a federal agent? 👇
Well, he was tried in DC and the jury had no "appetite" for it.
NBC had a hoot with this one:
Jurors showed no appetite for the Justice Department's case against 'sandwich guy,' the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty Thursday after several hours of deliberations.
The jury — which feasted on sandwiches for lunch Thursday, according to a person familiar with jury lunches — deliberated the charges for several hours Wednesday and Thursday before delivering the verdict.
Well, we knew it was never going to stick.
Attacking an officer isn't a serious crime like, say, staying between the velvet ropes during an unscheduled tour of the capitol building. Or moving Nancy Pelosi's podium from one place to another!
That's what makes DC angry!
Border Patrol Officer Greg Lairmore received two 'gag gifts' related to the incident — a plush sandwich and a patch featuring a cartoon of Dunn throwing the sandwich with the words 'Felony Footlong' — which the defense team argued showed this was not a serious event in his life.
Can't wait to see the sentence they'd hand down if a Republican threw a sandwich at a fed!
