A Colorado student is facing the possibility of six months in jail
for throwing glitter at Mitt Romney this week in an increasingly popular
form of liberal protest known as a “glitter bombing.”
Peter Lucas Smith, a 20-year-old student at the University of
Colorado, staged his sparkly protest after a Romney speech following
Tuesday’s Colorado caucuses. While the glitter bomb is most associated
with vocal supporters of gay marriage, Smith told Reuters that his protest was in response to the GOP front-runner’s “general political philosophy.”
