WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors have failed to obtain a felony indictment against a man who was seen on camera hurling a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official in the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

Sean Charles Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a sub-style sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. A video of the incident went viral, and shortly after he was fired from the Justice Department, where he worked as an international affairs specialist in the department’s criminal division.

The case is one of the examples of the legal pushback to President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington that has led to more than 1,000 arrests. It is highly unusual for grand jurors to refuse to return an indictment, and it was once said that prosecutors could persuade a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.”

They'll make temporary alliances if it furthers their goals. That's why they like Israel while they're actually antisemites, because that way you can go after Muslims more easily.

A big part of it is obviously the dog shit messaging from the Democrats. They don't want to be seen as critical of the police, so I haven't seen anyone mention the reality of racist cops conducting traffic stops based on racial profiling leading to the current situation, and the assumption they had of Latinos being one singular voting block that is always in favour of open borders, instead of a whole bunch of different groups from different countries with an immigration background that ranges from recent arrivals to people that have lived in the same place for centuries and have actually had the US illegally annex them.

They like Israel because Revelations says the Jews returning to the Holy Land is a precondition for Armageddon and they think they're gonna get Raptured. It's literally a delusional death cult.

That's only specific to evangelicals, neo-nazis don't believe that shit. They like Israel because:

  • when they finally kick out the Jews, there's a country they can send them to (in fact, the reason for the holocaust was that the Nazis didn't have anywhere to send the Jews to, nobody wanted to take them)
  • Israel itself is a supremacist state, and they're happy to have a country that legitimises the 'one people, one country' ideology they support
  • if all the Jews are in Israel, they're all in one convenient place when you finally want to get rid of them all
