For anyone who hasn’t heard, there seems to be an outbreak of “Creepy Clowns” all over the U.S. Excuse my language but WTF?! As if I wasn’t already doubtful about the direction our country is taking because of the whole Trump thing, we now have morons running around scaring the hell out of people and worse, children.
While many of these have been false reports or idiotic pranks like the father in my state of MA dressing up and chasing his son’s school bus, others incidents have been threatening, and in some cases violent. Schools have even been forced to close because of the lunacy. You know things are bad when Stephen King himself has to come out and admonish people.
“Hey guys, time to cool down the clown hysteria–most of them are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh.”
So, can everyone please just grow up? Seriously people, we’re better than this! Killer clowns belong in fiction and nightmares, not in real life!
By Hook Or By Book 
It’s crept to the UK too apparently.

You raise a good point Kim. There are much more important things going on in the world than killer clown rip offs.

Thank Vinnie. I think what really ticks me off are the violent and threatening incidents involving children. Honestly! What is wrong with people? And as Simon mentioned, now it’s spreading to the U.K. Grr.😡

It’s absolutely ridiculous and terrifying. A few friends wondered if it was a publicity stunt because It is being rereleased, but I can’t see them doing threatening things like going after children 😡 I think it was something perpetuated by a few people that spawned copy cat criminals. What’s also upsetting is there are people who legitimately work as clowns who now have to worry about being seen as a threat.

Yep. I thought that as well, but the movie people have vehemently denied anything to do with it. People are just asshats!

Ha ha my sister hadn’t heard of the creepy clowns til today, when my co-worker mentioned it. We had teenagers arrested for dressing like clowns and threatening a school in a nearby town.
I read an article that said we Canadians are so stupid that we follow trends and we believe everything we read about the killer clowns
I laughed. We Canadians are nipping that stuff in the ass before it gets out of hand. That’s not stupid! That’s smart!😂

This trend seems to be spreading to quite a few countries including England, so I don’t think Canada should be called out. Personally, as an American, I’m embarrassed it started here!
