It should be remembered that SEVERAL grand juries initially declined to charge the defendant, despite the ironic traditional reputation of grand juries to "indict a ham sandwich." But they kept going back. They were determined to destroy this citizen.
Obviously, they eventually prevailed, got the Sandwich Assassin into a courtroom, where the "victim" proceeded to blatantly lie in open court:
What fucking drama queen LIAR. He should be charged with perjury.
Also, the jurors had sandwiches for lunch. I'm surprised the Trump lawyers didn't try for a mistrial on the grounds that lunch was prejudicial.
I feel bad for the guy for losing a perfectly good sandwich.
Fucking ICE losers.
That first paragraph, do you have a source for that?
I tried to find proof and all I could find was that the grand jury that was hearing it as a felony refused to indict, so the prosecutors went with a misdemeanor that doesn't require a grand jury indictment.
There were a few OTHER instances of grand juries refusing to indict other people accused on assaulting federal officers, but those were unrelated to the incident in question.
I'm not even sure it's legal (...not that legality matters to this regime, I know) to shop grand juries ... like that first paragraph implied, is it?
Here's the dumb AI synopsis, but it adds sources:
So they tried to indict him by Grand Jury three times, who rejected them. Then they downgraded the charge so they wouldn't need a Grand Jury, and then they lost that case, too.
It seemed like when it was all over, the jurors agreed that the ICE cop crying about getting hit with a sandwich in his bulletproof vest was big whiney baby who should just FUCK OFF!
I agree completely.
Eventually we'll have a new administration. Would you be in favor of going after ICE agents and other bad actors from Trump's term? Or would that be unnecessary retribution?
We are in this position because we declined to go hard on Civil War traitors and Nazis. This time, we have to slam the lid so hard on these psychopaths, that whoever doesn't end up in prison, or executed, will slither bank under their slimy rocks and stay there.
And then we have to reconfigure our entire History and Social Studies curriculum to include the true history of the Right, with special emphasis on the Treason of MAGAs and the Republican responsibility for their rise. Even private schools should be forced to adopt that curriculum if they expect to remain open.
That way, when they try to emerge again in the future, we will recognize them for what scum they are, and brutalize them again until they decide that their rocks weren't so bad after all.
Because we didn't vote for Harris like we did Biden.
They did succeed in firing him for it
Something tells me this guy was pretty fed up with his employer anyway. Probably figured if he was going to get DOGEd, it might as well be for a reason. I'd wear that shit like a badge of honor, literally. They altered the Banksy art to show a guy throwing a sandwich, and I would put that on a T-shirt, and wear it everywhere - "Look! That's ME!"
I own a business, and if that guy applied, I'd hire him instantly, even if he wasn't qualified. I can always train anybody (except 2, that's another story), but this guy is obviously a man of character, and that's always welcome in my world.
the horror...
