“He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

Does this mean he has a shot at the presidency now?

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 75 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You might be joking, but I think you raise an excellent point.

I can see people voting for a sandwich hurling dude who wasn't afraid to confront armed fascists.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I watched the video... He did not think any of what was happening was funny. At all. This dude was deadly serious, and the only person on that street who was reacting properly to what was happening.

He’ll be moved to Alabama where they’ll then ‘have to’ try the case there.

That felony? Feeding a cop a succulant meal.

Seriously what a fucking awesome guy. He saw some fascist, racist shit and wasn't afraid to call them out.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

If we survive this regime… bro will certainly put that felony on his resume, with a link to the video.

Are those Reno 911 cops? Lmao, that was hilarious. I hope he doesn't get a felony though.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

He will get charged with a felony. They will try to make an example out of him to discourage people from doing the same.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

He needs a go fund me

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There is a longer video, someone posted it the other day. I do not have it on hand though. Dude is a fucking legend.

Fascists are lucky it was just a sandwich.

Someone's going to throw a molotov and I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh when those fascists burn to death while sobbing.

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

If both are felonies, why use a sandwich?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

You're asking a really, really important question here.

They keep abusing and corrupting the rule of law, and this slippery slope will lead to violence.

Imagine charging someone with a felony for throwing a sandwich and thinking you're doing the right thing. Absolutely unhinged snowflake behaviour.

Thought he got away too :(

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 hours ago

That means next time use a real weapon, same charges !

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 1 day ago

What a bunch of snowflakes

“He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

To be fair to him, it was very funny

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago

Isn't this like the quintessential Nazi skit to a T?

"He sot it vas funny. Iz it funny now? Vy aren't you laffing?"

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Also, to be fair to him, at no point in the video does he appear to think any of this is even remotely amusing.

When our grandchildren ask what started the second american civil war, we'll have to say "so there was this guy with a submarine sandwich…"

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The real kicker is that we can tie this back to Harambe.

And the puritans of course

GBH with a BLT? C'mon, that's a bit of a stretch.

I now have a mental image of a huge, normally aggressive agent rocking back and forth in a fetal position and sobbing, because a bit of lettuce and soggy bread touched his shoulder.

[–] atticus88th@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agents will now be using Abrams tanks for raids to protect them from crispy bacon.

I was going to say he deserves to be locked up for wasting a perfectly good sandwich, but then i saw it was from Subway. Pretty much all a Subway sandwich is good for is throwing at the gestapo.

Ironically, while MAGA sucks the NRA dick, and jerk it to the 2nd Amendment, civilians are not legally allowed to carry firearms in DC, a district Republicans are vying control of

Fascists will never fight something they don't believe they won't win. They are pure cowards. That's where the authoritarian beliefs come from.

I've lived my whole life with GAD. I get panicked by the stupidest things. Fear is easy to see. Cowardice is blindingly obvious.

3 armed and armored cops ran after a guy who threw a sandwich at them. They literally have nothing to fear, except the off chance that others think they can throw food at cops too without retaliation. They must maintain the lie that they are powerful, and the moment that gets shattered, their whole world comes undone.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I think the legal term for this is A-Salt and Buttery

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 19 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm thinking I'm going to find some of those ziptie handcuffs

Because something occurred to me watching that. There were a LOT more people than those cops.

It's about time citizens start arresting cops for trying to incite violence by bringing armor and weapons to the streets..

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

i know where you can find a bunch of ziptie handcuffs in convenient proximity to all those cops you're arresting

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Brake fluid dissolves a surprising amount of plastic and painted surfaces. Just an interesting factoid.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago

That was an attack sub

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Something with that length and girth is something these agents aren't familiar with, so they scared.

Where was the good guy with a sandwich? See liberals? This goes to show that sandwich control does not work!

"Be brave men. Those sandwiches are no match for our guns."

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

I thought pigs liked sandwiches.
