20 year old Colorado student Peter Smith was detained and charged for throwing glitter at Mitt Romney. This quote was taken from the Chicago Tribune:
"Denver authorities detained Smith for questioning on Tuesday night, and he was cited on misdemeanor charges of creating a disturbance, throwing a missile and an unlawful act on school property, Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said."
Yes, glitter is a missile. Mike Huckabee was quoted in the same article as saying that glitter bombers should be arrested for assault and that "you've got to draw the line." I'm all for peaceful protest and I love the symbolism of the glitter (generally used by equal rights advocates), but everyone should know that glitter crosses a line. It's like the herpes of the arts and crafts world! Once you get that on you, it's never going away.
