Felony? Sounds like baloney
This is so ridiculous. Are they going to pretend that a federal agent wearing a tactical vest was in danger from a sandwich?
Isn't it extra ridiculous that they're making more noise about this than the murders of Minnesota senator Hortman and her husband who were assassinated in their home in June?
My mind kept coming up with more ridiculous responses all day:
Assault with a sandwich? Bite me.
Buddy, you're... toast.
Did you want a donut instead?
Is it a felony because it was a footlong? Would it have been a misdemeanor if it was a six-inch?

Real talk
Blog friends... Thank you for your gentle check-ins! Nicole just talked to me about The God of Small Things for a couple of days. I do similar check-ins with At all the time.
What timing... Federal control of Washington D.C. with National Guards taking over mere hours after we returned home. The president's claims about rising crime and homicide are all false, BTW.
Countdown to Nu leaving for college... NINE days!
Big A is on the mend... But I've thought that before.
