Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent

“The grand jury’s rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors…”

@Roundtrip of course, the NYT - the paper of normalizing fascism - left out the real kicker.

This is not even remotely the first.
In fact, they tried THREE TIMES to indict someone for assault, dropping it all the way down to a misdemeanor.
Even getting three attempts is beyond the absurd.
And they no bill'd EVERY TIME.
