Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.
Image below the text: a man in white shirt and black tie and glasses, with a raised hand, as if trying to get someone's attention.
Text on that image: who had "Glitter bombing the Gestapo" on their bingo card?
While I applaud the idea, won't this land you an assault charge?
No fighting fascism without risk
Each person have a different amount of risk they are willing to take but the important part is to fight
You complete me.
Do consult your lawyer before throwing glitter bombs at masked, not uniformed kidnappers that might or might not be ICE agents.
You're probably getting the assault charge anyway for giving them mean looks; may as well get some glitter in there while you're at it.
Only if you get caught
Just because ice don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong
Because ICE doesn't like it means it's so right.
So, glitter bombs without glitter to avoid the charge?
No, no... the non-giltter bomb definitely still needs a charge. The bigger the better to avoid making the not-glitter too densely focused, aye?
Depends on how fast you can run. Though the thought of a drive-by glittering on an e-scooter also makes for a pretty fucking funny mental image.
They are gonna arrest you just for standing there. Might as well go down swinging
Glitter paintballs or a wiffel bat filled with glitter or an aluminum bat coated with glitter glue!

Not if you aim for the eyes.
Gotta do it from high up. Top of a building with multiple escape routes. Wide area glitter dispersal. Gives time to escape.
Technically, it would be battery.
What if you just throw handfuls up around yourself as you go nearby. Your glittering yourself, but there's "friendly fire."
