Leonel Arias, 47, told police he was playing a practical joke by donning the Bin Laden mask, toting his pellet rifle and jumping out to scare drivers on a narrow street in his hometown, Carrizal de Alajuela, about 20 miles north of San Jose.Go Sandoval! Too bad it wasn't really Bin Laden ;P
Arias had startled several drivers that way on Monday afternoon. But when he jumped out in front of taxi driver Juan Pablo Sandoval, the motorist reached for a gun and shot him twice in the stomach.
Seriously, if Osama Bin Laden jumped out in front of your car waving a gun, what would you do? (Since I don't have a gun, I'd probably just run him over.)
Police declined to detain Sandoval, saying he had believed he was acting in self-defense.Damn straight he was.
