Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings. William Shakespeare

This covers what the jury was instructed to find. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/sand...
The judge, in the end, instructs the jury that they must find Sandwich Guy acted forcibly, regardless of the verb-assault, impede, and interfere turn out to be the most relevant three-they do or don't conclude he performed. He defines forcibly as "by use of force," elaborating that a person can act forcibly by "threatening or attempting to inflict bodily harm upon someone, with the present ability" to do so. Assault is "any attempt or threat to inflict injury" that "places another in immediate apprehension of bodily harm." This injury-as the prosecution prefers-can be "any physical injury…including touching offensive to a person of reasonable sensibilities." The defense, in closing, tells the jury that throwing a sandwich doesn't constitute forcible conduct any more than throwing a stuffed animal- as would, say, an "eight-year-old in the middle of a temper tantrum" —because there's no real likelihood of bodily harm. As for the immediate apprehension of bodily harm required for assault, the agent was wearing a ballistic vest created "to keep you safe from military rifle fire" and therefore "definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich." The prosecution, for its part, thinks of force differently: "Here we have the defendant throwing— it's a sandwich, but throwing it hard." As for assault, the government homes in on the "offensive" point. "Having a sandwich spiked on your chest. Is that offensive to a person of reasonable sensibilities? Certainly. We have an assault." During rebuttal, emphasizing the need only for apprehension of harm, the government says, "This isn't just a sandwich." It is said sandwich accompanied by "screaming," "cussing" and attempting to instigate. The judge reminds the jury before they retire that Sandwich Guy's speech can't constitute assault or any of the other verbs— it can only provide context as to his mens rea.

A competing opinion:
Al Overview Yes, today is "Thor's Day" because "Thursday" is the English name for the day, which comes from the Norse god of thunder, Thor. The word "Thursday" derives from the Old English "punresdag," meaning "Thor's day". This is why some people refer to it as Thor's Day. • Origin: The name "Thursday" originates from the Old English "Pünresdag," or "Thor's Day". • Norse mythology: Thursday is named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder, strength, and protection. • Connection to Jupiter: The name is a counterpart to the Roman name for the day, "dies lovis" (Day of Jupiter), because Jupiter, the Roman god, is also associated with thunder and sky. • Modern usage: "Thor's Day" is a direct translation of the root of Thursday and is sometimes used to playfully refer to the day.
