A man charged with assault for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent calls it an act of protest. Prosecutors are trying to prove that it was a federal crime.
You give us Bivens federally, we’ll stop throwing sandwiches.
Technically assult would be very difficult to prove unless he threatened to throw it first, I’m totally not trying to be an ass, but assault requires a moment where the victim can claim a fear or threat of it happening. I am 100% not saying battery wasn’t commited (in the most hilarious way possible), but assault may be pushing it.
All this being said, I’m not a lawyer and only know the difference because I’ve had to look it up a few times after discussions like this. I’ve also not seen any footage and would love more than anything for there to be a video of some standoff between them first, a dude with a gun/tazer/baton just trying to determine his odds against a bit with a sandwich. Lol
