   Costumed performers are just a variety of cl*wn. It should be legal to   
   assault one who trespasses into your personal space, with them being   
   forbidden to fight back. In civil complaints, they should be liable for   
   treble damages. And that is a very toned-down view of how I *really* feel   
   they should be treated.
