Which he stole from some random news anchor... Dore hasn't been funny or relevant in almost a decade now.
He stole the sandwich from a news anchor?
Who's on first...
Good. 
Last time I reacted to this Pirro quote by saying it was indeed very funny:
“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.”
I just want to say, it has gone up a level to "hilarious" now that they can't even get a grand jury on their side
And there's that saying that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.... oh the irony.
The Grand Jury were vegans.
That was their mistake, they should have charged the sandwich.
shortly after he was fired from the Justice Department, where he worked as an international affairs specialist in the department’s criminal division
The cop, who investigates cops, was so pissed off that he just threw the first thing he could get a hold of...
I can't even come up with a proper analogy for how far off the rails this is.
It's good to know there might be some people like that still in there...
If you've seen the video, you'd see that this man was pissed. Full of righteous anger... And everyone else on the street, including the people filming, just thought it was funny. Just fucking clueless.
The cop, who investigates cops
That's internal affairs. Your quote says international affairs.
Whoops... You're right.
I'm using the fact that I've been awake for 20 hours as an excuse for my lack of reading abilities.
I shall leave my mistake there to remind me to go to sleep. (After Doom scrolling for a few hours...)
Easy mistake to make, even with a full night's sleep
Suck the footlong fascists.
The new US foot is now 2.5".
For some reason I thought that a sandwich thrower is a device, like a sandwich maker.
Hoagie Cannon
We can make one. Like one of those t-shirt canons.
"Public safety operation."
Way to buy into the bullshit, there, AP.
Fuck AP for calling this a “public safety operation”. That is absolutely not a neutral way to report this. Fascist loving bootlickers. AP is a right wing rag.
they've been pushing very hard for fascism lately, i can't stand the AP
8 years for spitting on a fed?!
The lengthy prison sentence is to send a message to the populace.
"public safety operation"
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions. Wish we had a real Fourth Estate that would challenge political branding rather than stenograph it.
Reuters just did that.
IDF bombed a reuters journalist, but they reported what IDF said as the headline, claiming their target was a Hamas camera... It was their camera.
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions.
Already happening in Gaza

This is why one of their major targets is due process.
Fucking maddening how so many Latinos voted for Trump because "they got in the right way", not realising that they'd end up getting randomly stopped and deported "because they fit the profile".
It never pays to throw in your lot with white supremicists, they'll always turn on you.
Counterpoint: fuck them and their ignorance?
I mean.....I don't think you can say they'll turn on you. That implies they supported you at one point.
White supremicists have ALWAYS been against you, if you're not also white, male, and a white supremicist.
Just because you support them, does not mean they support you. To modify a George Carlin quote:
"It's a big club, and you ~~ain't in it~~ don't want to be in it."

Mild doxx, I've served on a DC Grand Jury before. You're commuting to the courthouse for 3 weeks minimum, though only 3 days a week. Most of the people are not getting compensated from their job to be there, just some money for the Metro.
The standard of evidence to indict is much lower, basically "it's believable that the accused could be guilty of the charges". Caught on camera is quite believable, the key here is "the charges". If the charges don't fit the crime, a jury that's paying attention wouldn't indict . I'm 80% sure indictment is a majority vote, didn't have to be unanimous.
Generally the prosecution is presenting evidence and calling law enforcement officers to testify, the defendant sending a lawyer is optional (expensive). You get a mostly one-sided argument, but these are all people who live in DC; some well off but most kinda poor. It's DC so both categories do not like Trump. If they believe somebody is committing crimes in DC they'll happily indict; but most cases indict, it feels good to cancel the case when someone doesn't deserve it.
This dude, himself, worked at the Justice Department. I'm sure he was able to get some very good representation.
i have heard serving on a grand jury is painful, because its such a long lenght of time, thats why people try to avoid it all cost.
Everyone finishes watching the video.
Prosecutor: So, you can clearly see the assault take place. Does everyone agree?
Jurors: I didn't see anything. Did you guys see anything? Nope. Not a thing. Who wants a sandwich?
he was 'eating the sandwich'.
I'd like a sandwich, but I didn't see any laws broken
All I saw was a hero.

This just in: Grand Jury fails to indict a ham sandwich.
It was a salami sandwich, so it's a case of misidentification.

Federal Prosecutors used Felony Indictment against sandwich tosser.
It's not very effective...
This is all hilarious of course, but that sandwich thrower would probably be dead if he wasn’t white.

In semi-related news, the DC spitter had charges reduced to misdemeanors after 3 different grand juries returned no true bill. In federal court, there is a 30 day deadline after arrest to secure an indictment or your felony charges get dismissed.
