Federal prosecutors in Washington, DC failed to secure an indictment against Sean Dunn, accused of throwing a sub at Customs and Border Protection Agent Gregory Lairmore at 14th and U streets. Authorities said Dunn shouted, Fuck you! You fucking fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city! before the toss. Video of the incident went viral and posters and images referencing the toss appeared across the city, including in Anacostia. Dunn is due in court next Thursday for a preliminary hearing. The non-indictment follows other prosecutorial setbacks and a magistrate judge's criticism of an illegal search; the US Attorney's office moved to dismiss a related firearms case.
It's often said that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich, but federal prosecutors in DC were reportedly unable to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sub at a cop at 14th and U streets, Northwest. The prosecutors' failure, the New York Times reports, amounts to a sharp rebuke by ordinary citizens against the team of prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from President Trump's move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into the city on patrol.
The charges were filed against Sean Dunn, the former Department of Justice paralegal accused of winging a hoagie at Customs and Border Protection Agent Gregory Lairmore after authorities said he shouted, Fuck you! You fucking fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city! Video of the incident went viral, and images that recall Dunn's toss have surfaced all over town.
