Border Patrol Agent Testifies On DC 'Sandwich Guy': 'I Could Smell The Onions'

The U.S. Border Patrol agent who was struck with a Subway sandwich in Washington, D.C., in August testified on the incident in federal court on Tuesday.
Gregory A. Lairmore, a 23-year veteran of the agency, said he was not injured by the sandwich toss, but said he could feel its impact through the ballistic vest he was wearing. It came apart and kind of exploded when it struck his chest, according to Lairmore. I could smell the onions and mustard, he said.
Lairmore was called to the stand to testify in the trial of D.C. Sandwich Guy Sean Dunn, whos become something of a local anti-Trump resistance hero. Viral videos showed Dunn hurling the sandwich at Lairmore after calling him and other federal agents fascists shortly before the president declared a crime emergency in Washington, D.C.
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for D.C., tried to charge Dunn with felony assault of a federal agent, but a grand jury declined to return an indictment. Prosecutors have proceeded with a misdemeanor charge against Dunn. His jury trial started on Tuesday.

(13,463 posts)Im not from Philly, but Im sure I would have enjoyed that show. My cousin told me shortly after that Creedence album came out that she misheard the lyrics that way, so she independently invented that one along with a few million other people.
I remember several years back somebody came out with a book of funny misheard lyrics; the book was titled Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy.

Bone spurs must have been contagious.
Prick!

(600 posts)With that kind of ballistic resistance, I hope he never faces a real weapon - like a lightly lobbed pebble or an airsoft powered plastic ball.
I can believe the scent statements. But his claim of feeling the impact makes me wonder if his great grandmother slept on a stack of mattresses hiding a legume. A very sensitive guy.

Ridiculous!

(13,809 posts)Or a physicist, to contradict the use of "exploded" when the projectile (a submarine sandwich) actually "disintegrated" on impact. Of course that testimony could be even more hilarious, especially if they do a detailed walk-through like it was the Zapruder film.

(2,656 posts)To be haunted by the smell of onions and mustard. To be unable to enter a sandwich shop because it triggers your flashbacks. The horror! It never stops. Waking up screaming and knowing that without the bullet proof vest, it might have been a close thing.
And then there is the survivors guilt. Knowing that while you lived, the victims of the Bowling Green massacre never had a chance.

(164,031 posts)What's funny is that when the story first broke about this guy, they called the thing a "hoagie", which is what we call them here in Philly (as a regional name for something in a long roll)... But I know Subway basically calls theirs "Subs", which is more common in much of the country. I know in New England, they'll heat them and call them "grinders" (and I think Subway also calls them that if they run them through an oven).
So I guess to solve that problem, they just started calling it "a sandwich" and dubbed him "Sandwich Guy".

You hit me with a sandwich
I'm so glad it's not a Manwich
Oh, baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got's a guitar pick
Heh, baby, you're so vicious
[Chorus]
When I watch you come, baby, I just wanna run, far away
You're not the kind of person 'round I wanna stay
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I want to meet
Oh, babe, you're so vicious
You're just so vicious
