Osama Bin-Arias
What happens when you don an Osama mask, grab your pellet gun, and go out to terrorize the taxi drivers of Costa Rica?
Leonel Arias, 47, told police he was playing a practical joke by donning the Bin Laden mask, toting his pellet rifle and jumping out to scare drivers on a narrow street in his hometown, Carrizal de Alajuela, about 20 miles north of San Jose.
Arias had startled several drivers that way on Monday afternoon. But when he jumped out in front of taxi driver Juan Pablo Sandoval, the motorist reached for a gun and shot him twice in the stomach. He was hospitalized in stable condition.
Twice in the stomach and not in the head means that Arias is still in the gene pool. Too bad.
