IN Japan, police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume.
Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.
“It’s uncommon to see people dressed up like this, so the victims were watching them. Then the perpetrator came up and said ‘What are you staring at?’” a police spokesman said.
Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 (84 pounds) from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.

It takes real genius to decide to dress up as Winnie the Pooh because you’ve run out of clean clothes…
And now I come to think of it I’m a bit worried; hasn’t Saul gone awol again?

Winnie the Pooh being violent, ooh er what shall Christopher Robin have to say apart from the fact that he is a Bear of very little Brain, a lot like Ishikawa in that respect
