Sandwich thrown by protester 'exploded' and left mustard stain on border agent, court hears

Except, the sandwhich is shown still wrapped on the ground afterwards, so it didn't even explode.

Exploded... And the grievous injury of...smelling like mustard and onions for a bit. Man, they are really trying to work that incident.

AND he's been teased by his coworkers! Oh, the pain and suffering he has had to endure because of this heinous assault by an antifa terrorist! Will it never end?!

its funny how these guys like to advertise like they are kickass then act like the biggest pussies.

Will he ever recover

So send the protester the agent's dry cleaning bill and be done with it. Make them pay for a new uniform if the stain can't be removed. Simple enough. The fact this is a criminal matter is absurd.

There was a time when a man would be ridiculed for bringing a complaint for getting hit by a sandwich.

what are the charges, throwing a succulent sandwich meal?

Man who signed up to a job to humiliate his fellow man, was himself humiliated. Demands justice.

Tit

I hope this brave officer gets the counselling and support he needs to move on from this.

Did he tear up while giving his harrowing testimony?

let me get this straight.

when a cop shoots pepper balls into a crowd, the citizens "walk into the path of" them and it's the citizens fault.

but when a citizen throws their sandwich into a crowd, it's not the cops fault for "walking into the path" of his sandwich?

🤔 something ain't right here...

Oh yeah, it was an explosion, arms were ripped off and heads went flying... blood just squirted everywhere it... It was a mustard bath... Cue 1000 yard stare

what's next? Your Honor, he gave me a stern look and hurt my feelings? Who's the snowflake here?

Heh I keep reading this guy's name as Liarmore, seems to be better suited to this pansy.

Were there any survivors?!

Clearly the agent has post-traumatic sandwich disorder, and it’s affecting his memory of the incident

Did anyone end up eating it? Did a cop eat the evidence, is what I’m asking.

Update: court adjourned for today with no verdict. Jury deliberations will resume tomorrow.

...So then, in self defense, I tried to shoot him in the face with a pepper ball round, which moves at much higher velocities, can cause permanent blindness, and has ... I dunno, 10,000x more concentrated spiciness than plain deli mustard?

They're handling this the exact way they should be handling the clergy that was shot nearly point blank with a chemical weapon in Oakland. Except they aren't touching that at all and going full ham on a ham sandwich.

This protestor will probably be punished how that costly l cowardly "agent" should be, while the agent walks without a worry in his mind or a lesson learned, akin to how the protestor should feel.

"Customs and Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore told the jury the snack "exploded all over him" and he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform."

Are we ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN this is not The Onion? Hard to say based on the smell.

...every moment of this trial is exciting!..will the riddler show up next and ask an unanswerable question?..

Let's be honest, the only reason he was upset is he didn't get to eat it.

Totally unrelated: it'd be a real shame if people talked about jury nullification more eh?

Haven't seen anyone address this yet, but surely the prosecution didn't coach him to testify thusly. I mean, JFC, that testimony can only make their case look weak. And we have video proving the witness is lying!

Instead of trying to demonstrate harm, they should be leaning into "this was battery and the charge does not provide for a level of harm to have occurred". (Don't know if this is true in DC. Also, maybe assault is the same as battery in that jurisdiction?) If they really want to take the "harm" tack, have the pig go on about emotional distress, "It was humiliating and my fellow officers make fun of me every day. They call me 'onions'." 😿

Jurors are given strict instructions that they must judge the case as to whether the exact charge is valid according to the exact wording of the law, no feels. They really hammer that in even before you're chosen.

I think the defendant loses if the jury is strict enough, but given that two grand juries refused to indict, I have a good feeling they let this guy slide.

big strong cop brought down by a sandwich. He would have really been hurt if someone had thrown a hard roll at him.

Oh the humanity!

Ok I feel we’re not getting crucial information here. Just onions and mustard? Is that a thing? And if so what kind of mustard?

Stop burying the lead!

crazed antifa leftist armed with explosive ordnance !!

EXPLODED? How many casualties?? Someone think of the overgrown children cosplaying as cops 😪

Pretty rotten that the perp list his job after lobbing a sandwich.

I'd have expected a few charges related to making a mustard agent on the street corner as well.
