"Man accused of throwing sandwich at CBP agent in DC faces federal assault charges"

That is the headline from an ABC news article dated 08/13/25 with a byline from Doc Louallen and Alexander Mallin. Apparently a group of Federal goons were hanging around on a street with Transit cops as part of the fascist takeover when a citizen decided to object. He was carrying a sub sandwich and the verbal confrontation initially ended when he threw his sandwich at the CBP goon and ran away.

The article notes:

"Sean Charles Dunn faces federal charges for allegedly throwing a sub-style sandwich at a CBP agent who was patrolling with Metro Transit Police in Northwest Washington around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

According to the criminal complaint, Dunn approached the officer while shouting "f--- you! You f------ fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!"

After several minutes of confrontation, Dunn threw the sandwich, striking the officer in the chest, the complaint says. The alleged incident was apparently captured in a video posted to Instagram."

I hasten to point out that this version of the confrontation is from the fascists side of the story. All we have from the man himself is the quote of admitting he threw the sandwich and the fascists claim of his initial words upon approaching the CBP goon. As noted the whole thing lasted several minutes and so we don't know how much the CBP goon escalated an apparently already agitated man. That escalation is a technique used by goons to increase the agitation of a person to get them to lash out and provide the basis for an arrest.

It is unclear whether the CBP goon involved will claim to have been injured by the impact of bread and meat to his tactical vest and claim to need medical and psychiatric care and a lengthy recuperation while collecting disability pay but we all know how terrifying and traumatizing a sight it can be to have bread and meat come at you.

So Sean Dunn will potentially face years in prison for throwing a sandwich at a cop while the January 6th insurrectionists who physically beat officers go free without a concern in the world by the fascist government. They obviously consider bread crumbs, meat and condiments to be more of a threat.

As this guy is finding out, they don't fuck around.

I don't like the fact that they've been deployed in DC, but really...don't throw stuff at them. Jeer and hoot all you want but stay non-violent.

Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro — who is now the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia — posted a video on Wednesday bragging about charging a man who threw a sandwich at a police officer with a felony. Now, the Department of Justice's top prosecutor is being flooded with responses on social media.

There is a convicted felon in the white house if they want to catch dangerous criminals.

I though felony assault involved a deadly weapon and/or serious injuries. Where's the serious injury inflicted, except to Trump's ego?
