SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children.

Residents in the northwestern U.S. city of 54,000 people also reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on Tuesday.

Police warned Falkingham after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun.

Assuming what the woman reported is accurate, and not ginned up, the guy would have the right to wear a bunny suit.

However, it is my understanding that free speech does not cover the right to make threatening gestures or words.

Back in the 90's and old fellow who lived in this house:

used to wear a suit like this:

and stand out a the curb and greet cars that would stop. He spoke with a deep country twang, yellow teeth, two weeks worth of stubble was on his face with tobacco juice stains at the corners of his mouth.

when the kids were little I took them over there just to see their reaction. "You boys been good for the Easter Bunny?"

Certainly not — “menacing” is proscribed in most, if not all, jurisdictions.

Betchaa Bunny-Suit-Boy has a blog. ;-)

I bet he posts pics of himself in his bunny suit and tutu on it too.

I bet he also spends a lot of time on Second Life.

Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes,
they’ve got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
And what’s with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!

... people complained he has been frightening children.
Maybe he just needs to enhance the costume a little ...

“Harvey” was a 1940’s movie that stared Jimmy Stewart.

It was the 50s not the 40s. Thanks for making me feel old, man. :O)
