    “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.”

      Good luck with her brag about false charges. its not a felony level of endangerment. At the very worst an “officer” would have gotten mayo on his shirt, like he does at lunch every day anyway. Total clown show.

    Politically I’m neither for nor against throwing a sub sandwich at federal agents.

    But…that poor sub. Was it at least a really bad sub? I know you could argue that of course it’s a bad sub, it’s from Subway…but still. Did he buy that sub with intent, or was he just so angry that he threw his dinner?

      But this all came about because after a government employee named Big Balls got beaten up by a pair of teenagers so the president, who was an orange criminal, sent office workers out to patrol the city in bullet proof vests.

    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.

    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…
