The Gestapo filed charges over lunch meat? Weak.

You misspelled "jury nullification."
He was obviously guilty. The jury just decided to nullify the application of the law in this case, as is their right. Do you support jury nullification?
So quick on the uptake Ned. Nothing gets past you.
Per my reply below to Emerson Lake & Palmer, a jury is the final check ‘n balance that protects one’s liberty from Government overreaching.
You support jury nullification, but don't want to say so?
I guess, given your line of work, I get why you might want to keep that a secret. Well, your secret is safe with me. Jury nullification is a good thing, not a bad thing, like pardons. Can it be abused (like pardons)?...of course, like anything else, it can be abused. But, the question is this: Is it better to have it than not have it.
But, when you pretend that "not guilty" always means "not guilty," you are just trolling or gaslighting. At least be honest. You support this particular assault, and you are happy they guy got away with it, even though he is very guilty.
Of course I support the province of a jury to nullify. Welcome to America!
This case was overcharged as an assault. It was a disorderly conduct at best.
So the verdict wasn’t really a nullification.
Either way, the jury’s message is that this prosecution was nonsense from the jump.
It was on video. It was assault/battery according to the letter of the law in most jurisdictions
...of a law enforcement officer, no less...which usually increases the charge, not reduces it. If taking a cafeteria tray out of someone's hand is assault (you know the case), then throwing the contents of that tray on someone is a step worse.
When it comes to Leftists, they are "overcharged," but when it comes to the Right, "no one is above the law." That viewpoint is Stalinist: not enforcing the law fairly & impartially, but rather selecting the man, and then picking the crime you want.
Assault and battery. Good lord.
If the cop were a real man, he would have laughed it off.
But go ahead and fire up the persecution complex.
It was assault!
Would you feel differently if it had been a grinder?

We all saw the video. A picture is worth a thousand words. DC jury. Yet another shocker.

How about the offender blowing a soap bubble that “Strikes” the ICE Officer?…you embarrass yourself
with regularity.
You don't know the law.

From what I’ve read, the jury learned that the officer had a bulletproof vest on…
and later was ridiculed by fellow officers for bringing those charges…putting it all together they decided to do the Right…snd Just Thing…I.e. “Not Guilty” Verdict.
MAGAs are on the lowest level of Kohlberg’s Hierarchy, except when it comes to Trump…then any charges are “Hoaxes” by Democrats.
Should the guy have done jail time for lobbing a sub at the ICE dude?

The ICE dude is a Federal agent. Not a shopping mall security guard.
What do you think would happen if you tried that trick on your local county PD? You think he would buy you candy and flowers? It doesn't matter if it's a brick, spit, or a Subway, it's assault of a Federal officer. What would you do if this coward threw it at you? TDS has literally destroyed the moral compass of the anti-Trumpers. If this twit threw a sandwich at a Capitol police officer on J6, I guarantee he would have been jailed.
And much worse than throwing subs was happening on January 6th
and you know it. You really should work on your Trump psychosis. You people truly are blind.
I’m not saying it was the right thing to do, nor would I stoop to such a level…
I want to know if you think lobbing a sub at the ICE dude warrants jail time.
IDK. I don't even think of that guy. Send him to Parchman Farm for all I care.
Send him to Disneyland. Give him an award. Make him spend an hour talking with Big Mike. I do agree J6 was much worse than throwing a Sub at a federal agent when you consider an unarmed female was murdered in cold blood by an officer who already had a dubious reputation. So we agree on that. Anyway, this discussion has reached its limit. You can have the last word.
We keep forgetting that NYC and DC prosecutions should be heard in North Dakota.
Trial by jury is a fundamental right. The jury is the ultimate check’n balance to protect an individual’s liberty from the power of the State.
In this instance, a unanimous jury was not convinced the Government met its demanding burden of proof.
Yield.
You assume innocence for a living. I have the greater valor of objectivity

Yes, you are nothing if not objective.

I don't know how the evidence against the guy could not be greater. What a world the
liberals are trying to make.
The DC jury was convinced he was a 6 foot hero…
(no message)
Yes he was totally guilty…of throwing a sandwich. Put him away!
(no message)
Some punishment is justified, why do think I would say put him away. I say let him do community
service by going with ICE for a week to see what they go through.
Way to minimize a submarine attack…

Pure irrelevant snark, prof. Illogical as well.
And rightly so, you’re a prick

Using your words. And we all admire your objective valor.
Or valorous objectivity.
Snark is snark prof.
And you need Admin’s protection. Everyone knows this.
