The above poster is right, but I think it applies to a wider range, any touchy subject. Imagine if someone dressed as Hitler for Halloween, uniform and everything. How sensitive a subject is depends on who you're with. I had a friend get cornered and beaten because he was wearing an Osama Bin Laden costume.
You raise an interesting point. Why would someone have a problem with the Bin Laden costume? Every year, presidential masks are a huge seller. Presidents usually preside over wars. Bin Laden was 'America's most wanted'. Pretty scary, but someone beat up your friend for it. Hitler was an evil figure, could be perfect for a scary Halloween costume, but is off limits. Yet, the devil is always a popular costume.
IIN to wear evil Halloween costumes, even though they represent crime?
