***Breaking*** MAGA Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to persuade a grand jury to approve a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury’s rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors assigned to bring charges against people arrested after President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to fight crime and patrol the city’s streets.

1. This is what should happen in every non-violent case involving the military acting as police

Grand juries should reject every single one of these cases that don't involve violent crime. And they should also reject any case related to protesting the military occupation.

8. Correction

Should happen in EVERY CASE involving this fascist regime, no matter the circumstances.
If you are fighting back against these Nazis then grand juries should refuse to indict them. Period. Full stop.

No justice. No peace.
