Sandwich Tosser Charged with Misdemeanor Assault

Remember the "sandwich tosser" referred to in my post published August 17? 

Well, a Washington grand jury have tossed out the felony-assault case against Sean Dunn – the 37-year-old ex-DOJ paralegal who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal officer on August 10. Court records show that prosecutors have now charged him with just misdemeanor assault. 

And according to CNBC on Thursday, Dunn faces much less potential time behind bars if convicted of misdemeanor assault than if he were convicted of the felony prosecutors wanted. 

Since the sandwich incident, Dunn has become the man of the hour. Overnight, Banksy-esque stencils of a silhouetted figure mid-sandwich-heave have bloomed on boarded-up storefronts, each tagged with a simple caption: "DC's Hero". 

It has been said that Dunn's last words before the deli-meat launch – "F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!" – have become the rallying cry for Constitution-loving patriots across the country! 

WOWEE!! Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan moved to within one win of creating the ultimate slice of history after storming into the women's doubles final of the BWF World Championships yesterday. 

The world No. 2 pair defeated long-time nemeses Nami Matsuyama-Chiharu Shida of Japan 14-21, 21-13, 21-12 in a tense semi-final, guaranteeing themselves at least a silver medal. 

After dropping the opening game, Pearly-Thinaah rallied brilliantly to level the contest before producing a decisive surge in the third, with the 11-9 interval proving the turning point as they powered through to seal the match. 

It was only their third win in 16 meetings with Matsuyama-Shida, but their most significant yet, paving the way for Malaysia's first-ever women's doubles appearance in a world final.


Pearly-Thinaah can now go all the way! There's no stopping them!

And Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei also kept the Malaysian flag flying high by reaching the mixed doubles final in the same Paris tournament on Saturday. 

The world No. 4 silenced the home crowd by defeating France's Thom Gicquel-Delphine Delrue 21-18, 21-16 in the semi-finals – and this victory ensured Malaysia will be represented in two finals for the first time since the world meet's inception in 1977. 

It marked a landmark moment for Malaysian badminton, as the duo also became the first national mixed pair to reach a world final.

Yo, Tang Jie-Ee Wei! WELL DONE!!
