Bin laid into at Auckland bash 11 January 2002 A man who went to a fancy dress bash disguised as Osama bin Laden was badly beaten up by partygoers. The 24-year-old, who identified himself to Truth only as Ben, needed 17 stitches to his face and upper chest after being punched and kicked by up to 20 people at the West Auckland party. "I didn't mean to upset anyone. It was just for jokes," Ben said. "I knew people hated him but I never expected to be beaten up over it. "I'm not angry with those who did it because I can see where they're coming from. I'm just shocked." Cops were called to the party by neighbours who reported a brawl. When they arrived at the Glengarry Rd, Glen Eden, address, Ben's attackers had fled, leaving him lying in a pool of blood in the back yard. Ben said the party, on January 2, started well. But he got more and more "hassled" as the drink flowed. "At first they were saying things like 'President Bush is looking for you'." "Then suddenly I'm kicked and punched to the ground and people are playing soccer with my head." Ben said one man started assaulting him then "everyone else joined in just for the fun of beating Osama up". "What I don't understand is there were at least two guys at the party dressed up as the Devil. "Surely the Devil is more evil than Osama will ever be?" Ben says he won't press charges as it may look like a victory for the real bin Laden. One of his attackers said: "You have to be a real dick to want to look like Osama bin Laden. He got what he deserved." I find this incredibly funny, what kind of idiot gets his ass kicked over dressing up like Bin Laden?
"I didn't mean to upset anyone. It was just for jokes," Ben said. Real funny Ben. "I knew people hated him but I never expected to be beaten up over it." That makes you a dumbass, Ben. "What I don't understand is there were at least two guys at the party dressed up as the Devil." That makes you a stupid ass, Ben.
now if someone was dressed like cato than i wouldnt be surprised...but this loser didnt deserve to get jumped.
I have some advice Ben - if this happens when you dress up like Osama, then do not dress up like a p*rn star!
