The Guy in the Easter Bunny Suit Who Dry-Humped Twerking Chicks and Got Into a Savage Fight Shockingly Has a History of Criminal Violence

SourceA bar hopping bunny who claimed he was defending a woman when cameras caught him in a downtown Orlando brawl Easter Sunday may not be so innocent.

Turns out, the man in the suit — 20-year-old Antoine McDonald — is wanted in New Jersey in connection with a vehicle burglary last fall, possibly fleeing to Florida under an assumed name.

McDonald could’ve relished in anonymity, his face and identity hidden by the pink nose and tall ears of the bunny costume. But after the video went viral, McDonald spoke to multiple media outlets, including TMZ and Orlando’s WKMG. He even created the Instagram profile, badbunnyof19.

He said he’s not a violent person. …

McDonald said he and a few friends were out for a Sunday Funday. It being Easter, they made the obvious choice to hit the bars while taking turns wearing a bunny costume. As they neared SAK Comedy Lab on South Orange Avenue, McDonald hopped to action. …

“I saw him spit on her and then I saw, you know like a fight break out,” he told TMZ. “I just ran over there.” …

According to police in Dover, Del., McDonald was arrested in early 2017 after he and two others were accused of committing two armed robberies in a span of 12 hours on New Year’s Day. … Police said he and his accomplices robbed three people by gunpoint, hitting one with the gun and punching another, then robbed two more people by gunpoint before fleeing in a red SUV police said McDonald owned.

There’s a lesson to be gleaned from this. An instructive, moral tale that can benefit all of us. I’m not entirely sure what it is, just that there’s a lesson.

It could be the one that all glory is fleeting. One minute you’re dry-humping twerking drunk chicks in a bar and hailed a hero for beating up a guy abusing a woman. The next, you’re being exposed to the world as the fugitive from justice you are.

Or it could be that we all need to avoid the glamor of the spotlight, no matter how appealing it is. Even if you’re not wanted by the police for your history of violent crimes, fame is a fickle mistress that is best left alone.

But I’d say that for me, the biggest takeaways are that in Tampa, Florida, a 20-year-old can drink in bars just so long as he walks in wearing a bunny suit. That for whatever standards they have for underage drinking, if you show up dressed as an anthropomorphic rodent, they don’t ID you. Also that you should never spit on a lady, whether or not you can outfight a guy in an Easter Bunny costume. And finally, the obvious one we all should know by now: Florida is the most fucked up place on Earth and probably not fit for human habitation.
