I dare anyone to go out in public in this costume. 

Go as the illegal abortionist, but at the same time be
Jesus. Have the name Jesus on the lab coat and carry a
bloodied (fake) baby with a coat hanger plunged
through the body. The business cards are a must; pass
them out to random people on the street.

See how long it takes for someone to level an act of
violence against you. My guess under 10 minutes.
