After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

Drake is charged with three felonies: Assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, and two counts of malicious destruction of property over $1,200. She is also facing three misdemeanors, including disturbing a public assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.

Jesus Christ. Assault and battery? Malicious destruction?

You ever tried to clean up glitter? Let alone that much? Nothing was broken per se but the cleanup required might as well be destruction. Also if you're going to make an ecological message how about not spreading a fuck load of microplastic huh?

Over $1200 to clean it up? Doubt.

Oh my God you're right it was so cringe we should just up the charges to murder.
