Assault with deadly sandwich

Felis Leo said:
Hey, do not let me sound like an utter beast here, TobyOne. I am not heartless. My wife absolutely hates mayo on her sandwiches so I can understand how these officers feel. I just hope the officers recover quickly from their severe injuries, and receive all the physical and psychiatric therapy they need.

It was certainly technically feasible for the attacker to dust the sandwich with fentanyl to get the officer fired, or stud it with sutaris to kill him inconspicuously. I'm just not naive enough to believe the only-a-sandwich line nowadays. The Russians or North Koreans could have used a binary Novichok mixture on it and killed everyone in the area!

They're just doing their job. They have no say on what he's charged with. He'll get his day in court. I expect a slap on the wrist. Of course, we've seen people get significant jail time for taking selfies in the capitol, so who knows?

Oh, please don’t you sell them short. They’re like the Marines on the streets of Fallujah, our DHS and ICE boys are. Probably even braver.

I hate reality TV is but this is good reality TV.

Now's not the time to start your comedy career Jeanine, and if this is any indication of its promise, definitely keep your day job....whatever that is.

Surely your officer’s union could get you six months paid leave for physical therapy and mental health counseling. Minimum.

I know I would never look at a sandwich the same way again, let alone want to eat one.

I mean if you can't throw a sandwich or water at a cop, what kind of country are we living in?

Okay, I'll rephrase that: if we can't throw a sandwich or water at a cop without it being a serious felony, what kind of country are we living in?

Throwing a sandwich or water at a cop should probably be illegal. It just shouldn't be a felony (in most cases).
 
Now if one were to take a fully-loaded Philadelphia hoagie, with extra provolone, extra oil, extra vinegar, and repeatedly strike said officer with it...that should be a felony. Those onions are like teargas.
