Blackout Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Strange News - AP Easter Bunny Gets Pummeled by Boy at Mall 2 hours, 55 minutes ago Strange News - AP BAY CITY, Mich. - The Easter Bunny is hopping mad. Bryan Johnson, who portrays the furry character at the Bay City Mall, says he was pummeled in an unprovoked attack on the job. Police say the attacker was a 12-year-old boy who sat on Johnson's lap the day before the March 18 incident. Johnson, 18, suffered a bloody nose. He kept his cool during the attack, deeming it inappropriate for the Easter Bunny to fight back. But he's not willing to forgive and forget. "They (the sheriff's deputies) told me it was up to me, and I feel that the boy should be prosecuted," Johnson told The Bay City Times. Johnson told Bay County Sheriff's deputies that the boy hit him in the face at least six times before running away. Bay County Sheriff John E. Miller said the youth has been in trouble in the past. The case will be forwarded to the Bay County prosecutor's office next week for action, he said. Johnson, meanwhile, is back on the job at the mall, where he had been working as the Easter Bunny for about a week before the attack. "I just like getting the kids to laugh and have fun," he said. His job is to get his picture taken with children and make them laugh. That can be difficult because he is not allowed to speak while in costume. Johnson said his 12-year-old attacker seemed perfectly happy the day before the incident. "Yeah, he came up and said, 'Hi,' and was sitting on my lap and talking," Johnson said. "He seemed OK." But when he saw Johnson the next day, the boy didn't want to talk. "He just started hitting," Johnson said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Especially if i was wearing a bunny costume at the time All the more reason to beat him up. Parents could make their kids watch and tell them "See, if you don't behave, the Easter Bunny'll make you eat hospital food instead of easter eggs!"
