The town that gave us grunge music, Doc Martens as a fashion statement and a coffee bar on every freakin’ corner is now introducing a new social trend: roving clown gangs. The clowns, who have been harassing, robbing and violently attacking visitors to public parks in the Seattle area, call themselves “Juggalos� and “Juggalettes� and devote themselves to to the teachings of Insane Clown Posse. (For more about Juggalos, go here. The site really speaks for itself.) ICP itself hasn’t yet commented on the incidents; they’re busy getting ready to perform at this weekend’s “Gathering of the Juggalos� in Ohio.
Great. America’s young people are turning into Pete Doherty wannabes in New York (see the comments here) and imitating killer clowns in Seattle. I’m going to raise my kids on a compound in Saskatchewan.

The Insane Clown Posse is still around? They were hot for like, 10 minutes in the mid-90’s. And now ICP fan-gangs are roaming the Seattle area causing mayhem.
Maybe Islamic terrorists have a point after all…….
I posted on this as well. My take is that these punks are a good argument for issuing mre concealed carry permits. Woo Woo Juggalo my a$$, hit the deck punk!
PS, I hear Moosejaw is a nice place to live.
I find it difficult to imagine any social problem serious enough to make me move to Saskatchewan. I have been through Saskatchewan four times and have no need to go through that again.
Children need special protection, Flea. So while the kids are growing up amid the tall wheat, I’ll be off enjoying the bright lights and crazy night life of the urban fleshpots. Because I’m older, and more resilient.
