Felony charges for activist who ‘glitter bombed’ interim Harvard president
Brittany Drake shouted “for the baby monkeys!” before she showered interim President Alan Garber with glitter ahead of a speech.
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.”

I feel like the only people who didn't act appropriately is whoever decided on the charges. People should protest things peacefully and people in power should be able to take it in stride. That's how a free and open society works. The prosecution is out of hand.

My first thought after reading was also that the charges seemed excessive.
Making protest illegal is always the first step
