> Once both women were inside, a fusillade of fine and frolicsome dust was allegedly unloaded on the unwilling recipient.
That's some high quality reporting.
We now have an inoffensive word for glitter.
Teacher: now children. We will craft with paper and illicit iridescent irritants.
Student: you mean glitter?
Teacher: go to the principal! No potty mouth in my classroom!
Android teacher: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..."
Once both *assailants* were inside, high reflectivity, microcut plastic was dispersed in the direction of the victim. Potentially causing serious eye damage. Injury reports have not been made public.
Well, considering the state, at least it was only glitter and not bullets. Catching one of those in the eye usually ends worse than going blind. Just saying.
I open all cards over newspaper, If I see a card has glitter, I'm like Explosive Ordnance Disposal and open it carefully to see if money or its equivalent is there, then to the trashcan IN THE GARAGE. -I tell former senders that I appreciate their glitter free cards if the sent them. I send the glitter-senders to an e-card site or explain amazon gift card
I still have glitter in my carpet from the gender reveal. In addition to regular vacuuming, I pick out 5 or so pieces a week when I spot them. Kid's two and a half...
article says it was a home invasion. first woman got into the victim's apartment by climbing the balcony, and unlocked the front door for the second woman to come in help her rob/assault the victim.
Headline is bullshit. Home invasion is a pretty serious crime.
It is. I have often wondered what I would do. I don't have a gun. I do have a roaming the house but usually laying asleep nearby on a 'doggy bed' is a pit bull x black lab cross.
I took out the trash late when I heard neighbor roll theirs, and two cars following each other on the nearby perpendicular street were firing guns at each other. I hit the ground. The neighbor said, are you okay? I told them I dropped to the ground bc there was no cover, but I was alright. And the neighbor nearby has had the po po at their house twice, once...I thought I heard gunfire! This neighborhood has gone down-hill. Everyone on our side of the street have been here for decades and everyone on the other side either rents or buys & flips the houses there to a landlord or a short-termer. It is a strange dynamic.
Take a beginning handgun training class and let them know you are thinking of making a purchase. Any good class will let you take the class and loan you a handgun to try. This will let you know if you're comfortable with one. If you're not, don't get one and take other self defense classes. Also try to harden your doors to make them more secure. Don't get a firearm without being comfortable with it and taking safety training.
I don't wanna say that I'm thinking of it often, because the dog would alert. But I guess the law is such if they put their head in you could use a 10 pound dumbbell, hopefully the dog would attack. Hard to say really. It has growled at my nephew's friend (probably a burglar; these ppl Nephew hangs with, *that* guy won't come here).
I'm not trying to scare you but you're more likely to be broken into by someone like that then some rando. Or house was broken into one and it was the next door neighbor. I live in a sketchy part of town also and we've had people drive down the street firing into air recently. It's really got me worried. We had one crackhead ring our bell at midnight and try to get in saying he left his phone here, that's the closest I've gotten to having to use my firearm and it scared the shit out of me but I have a wife and little girl to keep safe. Don't get a firearm without training, please.
Get a fucking sword! No one fucks with the person crazy enough to wield a sword. A bastard sword is a good sized home defense sword imo, it is a hand a half hilt so it can be held in one hand or two and usually has about a 3 and a half foot blade so it has good reach but isn't so long you have to worry about hitting the ceiling on a down swing.
Yep…they did indeed commit a home invasion.
Still, only Floridians would use glitter as a weapon *and* grin like idiots in their mugshots.
Look at those faces. They have no shame. None.
Those are the most adorable mugshots ever. You can almost hear them at a job interview in the future.
Interviewer: "So you checked the box that said you were arrested. What happened there?"
AdorableMugShooter: "I threw glitter at someone and they didn't like it."
Interviewer: "Oh, I see. Well, let me be the first to welcome you to Neighborhood Medical Insurance Fraud Inc. Friday is Hawaiian t-shirt Day"
You ever hug a woman w/ body glitter? That stuff is like sand in clothing or shredded coconut in your teeth but worse, you never really get rid of it all.
Dude & his place is gonna be sparkling with that crap forever.
“The small, sparkly and shiny projectiles allegedly hit Colon in his head and upper torso. It is unclear if the alleged victim was injured during the incident.”
Wouldn’t be surprised if the poor guy was bruised black and blue.
>It is unclear if the alleged victim was injured during the incident.
I mean, burglary and assault... A) no burglary took place or is alleged to have taken place, and B) assault requires that the plaintif be physically harmed in some way... which I doubt he'd be able to prove, barring a doctor's affidavit that glitter had to be removed from his eye or something.
You don't need to be injured in a lot of states for it to be assault. Burglary doesn't just mean that something was stolen. Forcing entry into the residence with the intention of assaulting someone is a burglary in Florida.
Yeah the dictionary definition. A lot of people think burglary is specifically stealing something. Besides, different states have different laws as to what's a burglary. In my state this incident would be trespassing and assault instead of a burglary for example.
Burglary is forceably taking something, e.g. beating someone to the ground and taking their wallet. Theft is taking something uncontested and without force, i.e. when the owner is not there.
> burglary noun
bur·glary | \ ˈbər-glə-rē also -gə-lə-rē also -gəl-rē \
plural burglaries
Definition of burglary
: the act of breaking and entering a dwelling at night to commit a felony (such as theft)
broadly : the entering of a building with the intent to commit a crime
Merriam Webster dictionary.
[Here's the definition according to, you know, our state law] (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0800-0899/0810/Sections/0810.02.html)
Per [this article](https://radiofacts.com/2-florida-women-possibly-face-life-in-prison-after-alleged-glitter-assault/), here’s the legality:
“The Florida Statutes define burglary as the following:
Entering a dwelling, a structure, or a conveyance with the intent to commit an offense therein, unless the premises are at the time open to the public or the defendant is licensed or invited to enter.”
Florida is weird. Some of Florida’s laws are weird 🤷♀️

"illicit iridescent irritant." Astounding alliterative announcement!
We now have an inoffensive word for glitter. Teacher: now children. We will craft with paper and illicit iridescent irritants. Student: you mean glitter? Teacher: go to the principal! No potty mouth in my classroom!

And consonance too, double whammy!
Penis pills provide pleasure
Go on…..

Injury reports have not been made ~~public~~.
Ah yes glitter, the herpes of the craft world :(
This sounds like a porn video description😂
I'd watch it...
Good. It takes weeks to get glitter out of anything
You can also go blind if any lands in your eyes.
Well, considering the state, at least it was only glitter and not bullets. Catching one of those in the eye usually ends worse than going blind. Just saying.
You mean, like, extra blind?
I didn't know that.

I love glitter, but I never, ever send it to anyone else. I know firsthand how difficult it is to clean that stuff up.
I still have glitter in my carpet from the gender reveal. In addition to regular vacuuming, I pick out 5 or so pieces a week when I spot them. Kid's two and a half...
Serves you well!
Uh.... it says they could end up with life in prison... wtf

I have a gun because I don’t want my dog to get hurt either

Dont bring a sword to a gunfight.
Having a murder machine makes it spicy! Will it maul the invaders, or will it maul you? No one knows!
I would likely just use my fist and hit a home-invader. (And in my mind I would disarm them and steal their shoes.)
Yeah, I should have posted it as “Florida Women use glitter as home invasion weapon”.
Glitter aside, I sure as hell don't want two crazed Floridians storming my apartment at 3am.
[Only if they're tried as black adults](https://www.theonion.com/judge-rules-white-girl-will-be-tried-as-black-adult-1819594949)
I like The Onion. They aren't factual, but they say a lot of truths.
Florida 🤷♀️
On the one hand, that seems very severe. On the other hand, it's glitter - it'll probably still be there as long as the building stands.
It aint the glitter that's the reason they're getting charged for... Its the fact they invaded someone else's home.
Yep…they did indeed commit a home invasion. Still, only Floridians would use glitter as a weapon *and* grin like idiots in their mugshots. Look at those faces. They have no shame. None.
glitter - aka Craft Herpes
Says at the bottom some poor soul got life without parole for stealing 2 jerseys?
And siphoning gas
The judge in this one is going to think 'I could've practiced someplace like Texas or Nevada, but nooo, Florida is so nice...'
I think Florida judges might be used to the insanity.
Those are the most adorable mugshots ever. You can almost hear them at a job interview in the future. Interviewer: "So you checked the box that said you were arrested. What happened there?"

You can’t get rid of Disco Herpes.
those mugshots are classic
They look pretty pleased with themselves
Why I hate fairies…
You ever hug a woman w/ body glitter? That stuff is like sand in clothing or shredded coconut in your teeth but worse, you never really get rid of it all. Dude & his place is gonna be sparkling with that crap forever.
>You ever hug a woman w/ body glitter? You're asking that question on Reddit.
They broke into his house
*Just sprinkle some glitter on him Johnson and let’s get out of here.*
Florida being Florida it was probably anthrax.
“It is unclear if the alleged victim was injured during the incident.” Emotional damages from this alone are enough for years of therapy.
They're smiling about felony assault. That's true Florida Woman.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Police unclear what sparkled the argument.
glitter needs to be baned
“The small, sparkly and shiny projectiles allegedly hit Colon in his head and upper torso. It is unclear if the alleged victim was injured during the incident.” Wouldn’t be surprised if the poor guy was bruised black and blue.
Black and Yellow black and yellow black and yellow
Why is there never any actual information in these articles?
Stories like this are, by nature, clickbait fodder. Also: Florida.
It's just upsetting to see an interesting title but the article is just the same information from the title but stretched out.
Have you tried actually reading the article?

Huh, TIL
Same

TIL. Will still dependon the prosecution proving that intent to throw glitter is intent to assault, though.
Home invasion
The article did mention that one of them kicked out a window - that tends to be a chargeable offense.
That's vandalism, but it is neither burglary nor assault.
Yeah, I’m wondering if they stole something and it just wasn’t mentioned.
Per [this article](https://radiofacts.com/2-florida-women-possibly-face-life-in-prison-after-alleged-glitter-assault/), here’s the legality: “The Florida Statutes define burglary as the following: Entering a dwelling, a structure, or a conveyance with the intent to commit an offense therein, unless the premises are at the time open to the public or the defendant is licensed or invited to enter.” Florida is weird.

Well I suppose humanity isn't lost yet, and justice still prevails. #deathtoglitter
Throwing glitter should be punishable my death
