Cops Tell Dude: Stop Wearing Bunny Suit
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Police in Idaho Falls have told a man (William Falkingham) to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children." Reuters
Kids love bunnies, all a bunny at a pet store has to do is twitch its nose, and a child will plead with his mother to buy it.
However kids don't find a man dressed in a bunny suit quite so loveable, especially if he's also wearing a tutu and pointing his finger like a gun.
Falkingham is usually in his backyard when he's dressed as a rabbit, and he has a right to dress like a bunny, Lord Fauntleroy or Little Bo Peep on his own property.
But the gentleman should refrain from pointing his finger like a gun at kids, unless they are making fun of him.
Falkingham wasn't arrested, but the cops did warn him that he could be arrested as a public nuisance if he harasses the children in the neighborhood.
