Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.

A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

A DOJ employee was fired and charged with a felony after chucking a footlong at a federal agent. Now his likeness is a symbol — and for sale on T-shirts.



https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/08/21/subway-guy-dc-trump-federal-takeover/

Where protest movements take hold, symbols of resistance soon follow.

In Washington, since the Trump administration has taken over the city’s police force and ordered the National Guard to patrol the streets, that symbol has taken the form of a person who flung a footlong sub......

Sandwich Guy’s real name is Sean Charles Dunn, a D.C. resident and former Department of Justice employee who was captured on video hurling a footlong at a federal officer and now faces a felony charge. A video of the incident, posted on Instagram under the account @bigap4l, quickly went viral.

It shows Dunn (prior to the lob heard ’round the District) pointing and shouting at officers crossing an intersection in a popular nightlife area. “F--- you, fascists,” he yelled, then chanted “shame” before turning and walking away from the officers. “I don’t want you in my city,” he screamed at them. Minutes later, he returned, kept on shouting, and chucked his sandwich — salami, The Washington Post confirmed — before attempting to flee on foot. Days later, 20 federal agents cuffed him at his front door......

This time, one poster that nods to Sandwich Guy, plastered on buildings in Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Union Market and other popular neighborhoods, spoofs street artist Banksy’s “Flower Thrower.” The piece, originally seen in the West Bank, depicts a man winding up his arm to throw a bouquet of flowers instead of, say, a grenade. Around D.C., the flowers are replaced by a hoagie.

“Whoever came up with that transposition, I mean, that’s a brilliant piece of street art,” said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist at the University of Baltimore specializing in graffiti and street art. “And it will be one of several. When somebody writes the history of this period, that will definitely be one of the iconic images that comes out of it.”

announcing the 20th Maine's bayonet charge on the Little Round Top that saved the Union. But instead of shouting "Bayonets!," of course, he will shout "Baguettes!"
