So any one else see this shit. What in the blue hell is wrong with people. Firstly why would you dress up like a creepy clown? 

 

I guess there have been sightings in my area. I guess near our local high school. Im considering to start carrying a pocket knife just as a form of protection. But this shit is getting real. I dont get why people would do this in Michgian of all places. Firstly we are a stand your ground state. Secondly about every one and their mom has a concealed pistol licensee. Im waiting for one of these dumb bastards to get shot. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I guess I should pay the $160 for the class and permit and what ever it cost for a pistol. Im way over the age of being able to carry. Only issue, I cant carry on my college campus. Because our police in Romulus are practically worthless on most days. Taking hours to respond to calls.

Im just concerned because we are talking Metro Detroit. You cant trust people around here. Plus Im kinda scared for my niece and nephew and them being safe. No joke, if we are lucky we have 3 cops that patrol the entire city. Not that we are a big city, but if some one is attacking you, you cant wait 2 fucking hours for help.

I see overreaction and fake sighting reports on social media, which fuel this dumb frenzy.

 

I mean really, why would anyone up to no good, actively dress up as a creepy clown, now that this crap is all over the news and is just a mob waiting to happen (which did happen), the only ones who would dress as a creepy clown now are idiots who think it's funny and are just out to get a laugh, most likely with a camera filming the reaction of passerby. 

So no, you don't need to carry a gun or a pocket knife to "defend" yourself specifically against clowns. Stop over reacting and think logically about the situation. You're more likely to get mugged/killed by some random guy than to see a god damn clown.

People are using it to commit robberies now. All it takes in one of these idiots to scare the wrong person, for that person to pull out a gun and shoot them. Thats another concern I have. It some one playing a harmless prank getting shot over some stupid shit.

Here in Minot, a couple of kids were killed by one of these crazy clowns.  There's a reason for reacting.  Trying to say someone wants the ability to potentially defend themselves is an under reaction.

If someone says they're gonna "carry a pocket knife" for protection, they clearly don't know how to knife fight, and not understanding the main rules and fundamentals of knife fighting, and pulling a knife on someone, is going to get you fucking killed.

It sounds like some donkeys dressed up as clowns to scare people, it kinda went viral, now everywhere people are dressing up as clowns to get onboard the creepy train and scare people. It's literally a fad.

 

People are acting like it's a world wide clown cult ready to fuck shit up.

honestly i never understood this hype. or how it even started in the first place, like it never happened last year, or any year before that, so why start now. i heard it was started on the east coast and it just spread west. i hate this stupid trend, like if i see a clown, im about to drop him/her on his/her ass.

Is it creepy as hell yeah! Is it something you need to buy a gun just in case for? I don't think so. I mean about three years ago here in England we had that creepy clown in Nottingham that just kept popping up he never did anything other than just stand there with a balloon sure it was creepy but there was no real threat.
