'Glitter terrorism' has Minnesota roots
Technically, Nick Espinoza is not a member of the glitterati, but after pranking Tom Emmer repeatedly he seems to have invented a new form of protest . Salon’s Natasha Lennard goes where few locals go. “Espinosa, a 24-year-old activist from Minnesota, sparked the latest tactic among LGBT activists when he invited Newt Gingrich to ‘Feel the rainbow!’ at a Minnesota family values event and showered the presidential candidate in multi-colored sparkles. This was followed by a glitter attack orchestrated by women's peace group, Code Pink, on Tim Pawlenty. Then, on Saturday Michelle Bachmann was struck by the Glitterati (#glitterati is the hashtag for these actions now). ‘It's safe, it's fun and it brings attention to big issues,’ Espinosa told Salon, explaining that he finds influences in direct action groups like The Yes Men, who target big corporations and political leaders with elaborate, politically driven pranks. … A number of people aren't laughing along, however. Right-wing commentators have gone so far as to describe glitter-bombing as assault and have called for arrests and, at times, violent retribution. Ever measured, Glenn Beck used his The Blaze website to call the glitterati ‘terrorists ’:
It doesn't matter if it's glitter or anything else because it could just as easily be something deadly that they attack with and if they get to believing that the cops will not do anything at all to them, that will empower them to use deadly force soon and then the cops should also be held accountable for the terroristic acts! Put them ALL in Guantanemo (sic) with the other terrorists!” Meanwhile … in Iowa City, the Press-Citizen reports , “Police were dispatched to the corner of Washington and Dubuque streets at 11:33 a.m. for a subject yelling at protestors. Officers said they saw 24-year-old Dominique J. Conway in a ‘heated argument’ with another man. While officers were walking toward Conway and the other man, they saw him throw confetti in the man’s face . The other man said he was offended by the contact. Conway allegedly told officers he threw the confetti because he didn’t agree with the man’s anti-gay statements. Conway was cited with assault, which is defined as an act that is or intended to be ‘painful, injurious, insulting or offensive.’ Conway was arrested last July when he allegedly punched a man in the face for refusing to hug him.
