A college student who tried to "glitter bomb" Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney after the Colorado caucuses has pleaded guilty to a charge of disturbing the peace.

Twenty-year-old Peter Smith told KCNC-TV that prosecutors dismissed a more serious charge of throwing a missile for the Feb. 7 incident

Another example of the intolerance of the left.

The leftists are modern fascists who cannot tolerate free speech and oppose any views they do not hold. Zeig Heil!

Calling glitter a missile is a bit of an exaggeration. Don't you think?

If it isn’t rocket powered it isn’t a missile. I wonder who can up with that stupid law.

Some mods tolerate sexist, racist, and homophobic slurs. Some mods delete a joke about glitter. This place is just mental sometimes...

So he did something stupid and now he's upset about the consequences of his actions? That's pretty gay.
