Glitter bombing is an act of protest in which activists throw glitter on people at public events.[1]
Some legal officials argue glitter bombing is assault and battery. It is possible for glitter to enter the eyes or nose and cause damage to the cornea or other soft tissues potentially irritating them or leading to infection,[2] depending on the size of the glitter. Whether a prosecutor would pursue the charges depends on a number of factors.[3][vague]
In recent years, the practice of glitter bombing has evolved to include the act of sending large quantities of glitter in the mail,[4] either as a prank or to deter thieves.[5]
