There was always the one kid that showed up to your Halloween trick-or-treating group dressed up in a ghost sheet with a Jason Voorhees mask and a skeleton claw or something and it was like, bro, pick a costume and stick with it.
Same energy right here:
While Punxsutawney Phil was making his Groundhog Day weather prediction, authorities in Florida had their own creature problems after a man wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog mask attempted to rob a bank.
The robbery took place Wednesday afternoon at Florida Credit Union in DeLand, a city north of Orlando, police said in a Facebook post. Officers were dispatched to the credit union and spoke to witnesses who said the suspect was wearing a mask in the likeness of the blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who is at the center of the Sega video game franchise...
In addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog mask, the suspect was also wearing a black hoodie, black pants and carrying a black or grey backpack or duffle bag, according to police. In a follow-up statement posted to Facebook, police said they believe the suspect's shirt said "Let's Go Brandon," a political slogan that references a profane insult against President Joe Biden.
I mean, what is even the messaging here? I gotta know.
Is it that the Sonic is anti-Biden?
(Is this "the" Sonic or just "a" Sonic?)
Or is it just that the dude happened to have a "Let's Go Brandon" hoodie and threw that on over his Sonic costume? Or is it supposed to be that the guy was fully in character, and Sonic just happened to have the hoodie and needed to throw something on quick before knocking over the bank?
In anycase... why on Earth, when robbing a bank, would you wear a hoodie emblazoned with one of the most recognizable political slogans in the world?
Either way, that guy better hope he can run as fast as Sonic!
