"In a rare taste of victory for the resistance, a jury acquitted Sean Dunn-eternally our Sandwich Guy-of misdemeanor assault in a DC federal court yesterday. Dunn has become something of a local hero for Washingtonians and other opponents of the Trump administration, many of whom have been following the story since that fateful salami grinder soared through the air outside the Subway on 14th and U streets in August."
"George Conway seems to be relishing the news: Like, seriously, someone should send him this article: I would like to know if there are quantitative linguists out there who can compute the theoretical maximum number of Sandwich Guy Verdict puns that can be made in the English language - George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) November 6, 2025 at 11:25 PM He even wrote a song about it? Enjoy his spin on Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff":"
Sean Dunn, widely nicknamed Sandwich Guy, was acquitted of misdemeanor assault by a D.C. federal jury, ending a high-profile case stemming from an August incident in which a salami grinder flew through the air outside a Subway on 14th and U streets. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro previously pursued felony assault allegations but failed to secure an indictment. The verdict prompted a flood of social-media reactions and puns, with live trial coverage and commentary from figures such as Molly Roberts and George Conway. Online communities and Bluesky users produced jokes, song parodies, and headlines riffing on the case as celebratory humor.
