Wow, I'm happy you got out of there alive. When I was a kid, I worked a couple summers at Universal Studios in southern California, and they always had some costumed characters roaming the premises. Never saw anything that bad, but I would imagine they all had some run-ins. And I would imagine that the overall behaviour of the kids today is worse than back then. As I said before, I hope Tigger smacked him good, because he probably deserved it!!!
Haha - small world! I worked at Magic Mt. I didn't name it because not everyone knows southern CA parks. I envied the characters at the other parks - I hardly ever saw gangs there! :)
