In today’s litigious world, anything even slightly harmful isn’t allowed anywhere near children.

I do believe it wouldn’t be pleasant to get glitter in your eyes. But that’s a long way from being “harmful.” It would have to be damaging.

So, if you know something about how much worse it is to get glitter in your eyes than, say, play sand, or blowing dirt, or the like, show it. Otherwise, you’re manufacturing a false concern.

Cosmetic glitter, or glitter powder won’t harm your eyes.

Craft glitter often does contain small pieces of metal or glass… and although this may be a shocking revelation; having small glass shards thrown into your eyes isn’t good for them.

What kind of glitter did he use here? Was it safe for the eyes?  Or was it cheap common craft glitter that could cause eye damage?

I wonder if he “decided to do it at the last minute” and also made sure to go purchase the proper kind of glitter for this.

But you feel safe that all glitter can’t harm anyone… how could glass shards hurt your eyes, right?

I feel neutrally about it. Glitter doesn’t hurt anyone, no matter what histrionics you might read about “small sharp pieces are” (seriously, preschoolers use glitter all the time – you think any school would risk the lawsuit if it were the tiniest bit dangerous?), it’s an “assault” only in the strict legal sense, but not in any realistic sense.

I don’t cheer it because there isn’t much point to it, other than pissing R-money (or whoever else) off, knocking them off their game a bit. I don’t condemn it because no physical harm can come of it I DO laugh at it because seeing that phony show any real emotion amuses me.

Now, I know you value order and proper behavior over all, so I don’t expect you to agree, but maybe YOU can tell me why I should condemn it in light of this? How I could possibly be wrong in my opinion?

as a result of the attack is not the same as cheering the attack?  Sounds like you want to enjoy the results while claiming you don’t agree with the means.  You want to have the cake with that icing and eat it too.

and not me in particular. But no, that’s not a cheer for the glitter bomber, just a laugh at Mittens.

I saw a youtube clip

and Mitt looked pissed. It was the icing on the cake for me.

That really looks more like a cheer than a jeer to me anyways.

No.

A few fringe-types will cheer, but most left wingers jeer.
