    The fact that this guy had to go to court at all to defend himself is just asinine. These dumb fascist fucks are a bunch of thin skinned bullies.

      Have no worries… If the current Reich has its way, and so far it seems it has, they’ll not have to go to court anymore…

      Not really sure its because they are thin skinned. Its part of the facist playbook. You have to make an example of anyone that steps out of line.

            I’m not referring to any specific legislation, more the concept. It’s designed to discourage people from participating in the legal system at all.

              SLAPP is designed to prevent people like Trump from using the legal system to silence and otherwise harm critics.

                I’m pretty sure he is talking about the concept it represents where the corrupt justice system is now being overly punitive in a attempt to silence the public. Same thing just no similar law to control the prosecution.

      This is clearly judicial harrassment … this prosecutor is now likely to lose his job. If sandwich guy is smart he will sue about 4-5 different people/groups.

      DC is practicing Jury Nullification … wondering if the Juries there would steamroll these lawsuits forward.

      This was a HUGE waste of OUR hard earned tax dollars. This should NEVER have gone to trial. I’m embarrassed to call myself an American.

      Any time the prosecution wasted on this is time not spent on something else

      I’m sorry you had to waste your time, but thank you for your service sub sandwich guy 🫡

        Good point! If they are going to use up our resources anyways, its probably best they are as inefficient and incompetent as possible. Plus, there’s the added benefit that the prosecutor and agency have further damaged their credibility - possible ammo for future defense cases.
