My dh just told me there's a clown running around town, just being silly, I guess! But, he also said that there is something going on in the country with clowns going around. No one seems to know what's going on! He's worried someone will harm this clown! Anyone know what's going on? Is it like the Pokemon thing?

We've had reports of clowns in NM too.  These clowns are going to stress peoples' sense of humor and someone is going to use them for target practice.

 It's happening here in Missouri also if that's not where you are located.  There are a lot of whacko's out there. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. The school districts here are reporting clowns threatening students on campus. It's apparently on social media. What's the world coming to ? Very Sad

From what I'm hearing, this is going to get serious! What bothers me is that a few of these jerks will be hurt or killed and people will back off! Then, out of nowhere, one will do something serious, possibly hurting lots of people!

One has been seen in our City too (near NYC).  Well he better not jump out at me because he'll be in for a surprise.

I seen something on facebook about a women and a clown and she had pics taken and then someone called the police to go to her house after she had put the pics on her facebook page. She had let everyone believe there was a clown outside her house. well that turned out to be some kind of joke she had her husband dress up as a clown. So when I started to hear of clown sightings around here I just did not take it serious at all. But then the other night I thought I seen on the news a clown getting arrested? I had the tv muted and did not pay too much attention so dont know all the details. I live in western pa in case anyone is wondering. I think this clown stuff is crazy!

I thought I heard that some of these sightings were related to a movie or something.  Has anyone else heard that?

 

I wonder, if that is the case, that there are copy cats out there now?  Hadn't realized it was so prevelant!.
