Romney 'glitter bomber' fired from internship

Yes. That glitter has been known to kill people! It's more dangerous than icicles combined with BB guns!

That is not the point. Flour has never killed anyone either. If I walk up to you and throw flour in your face I'd bet you would be concerned and try to attack me.

Should people really be allowed to throw stuff at people they disagree with?

Calm down Jave- it was sarcasm. I agree the individual did something wrong, but I don't believe he should serve time for it. Give him a hefty fine and be done with it. His goal was to attract attention to the group he supports and the fact that he opposes Mit Romney. Mission accomplished. I would personally like to see Mit Romney seek an audience with Mr. Smith to discuss their differing viewpoints, but that probably won't happen.

Do you remember when that kid got tazed for running onto the baseball field? I believe he deserved every volt from that tazer gun because the potential for harm to the players was there. No officer will stop doing their job (to mitigate a threat) to consider what one's intentions are.

I'd send the guy to jail. Not for very long, maybe a month. More likely I'd give him probation for a couple years. The penalty should be great enough that this kind of behavior stops.

It would be a bad thing if everyone expressed their political objections by throwing stuff at people. If we throw glitter at those that oppose gay marriage should we throw flour at those that support gay marriage?

Should the penalties for throwing stuff on people, be light enough that it falls under the 'civil disobediance' type offenses instead of assault?

If we throw in some eggs, sugar and butter, we can make glitter cookies.

Glitter cookies....sounds "crunchy"!

If you eat them, you can have a BM with bling.

LLLLLL, OL!!!!

Well, all kidding aside, the kid is now paying the price....

Sammy, I agree with your comments.

As for glitter, I love the stuff. I toss it in the cobwebs that are in the dense juniper trees next to my deck. BUT, I would never toss it on anyone. If glitter gets in the eyes, it can be VERY painful and can even cause injury to the eyes.
