There's been an outbreak of scary clown incidents in my area. I wonder how long it will be before one of the clowns is found dead having been run over, beaten up or stabbed? Bound to happen sooner or later.

 

Saw this news item on Wrighty earlier.

There's nowt stranger than folk. :|

 

the craze started I the US (north eastern seaboard) about a month ago

 

Cranks.

 

Yes, and if it hadn't been splattered over every UK news programme during the past few days we wouldn't now have scary clowns running about in Oxfordshire!

 

We've got them around here too, weirdos if you ask me

 

They go up to folks' windows and just stare.

Which is nice.

 

Loads of youtube videos showing some of them getting beat up. Don't know if they are fake or not but IMO if your dressing as a "scary" clown you deserve to get beating. Don't terrorise or threaten people that's not cool.

 

+1 totally agree someone's had their fingers chopped off in a clown incident round my neck of the woods crazy! Could you imagine the damage to your car if you ran one over! Crazy

 

And fear of clowns is a well recognised phobia.

It's out of order - poor ****ers.

 

****ed up.

But lol at the mobility scooter clown. WTF.

 

Yeah, someone out here will get shot, sooner or later. Weird to just randomly decide to dress as a clown.

Sucks as I was planning to go for the scary clown look for Halloween in the office again this year.

 

Yes, I also heard this 'clown' malarkey on the radio. I suppose PTSD cases are on the rise due to that.

 

Serves them right. Pulling out fake (or real knifes) on people, you deserve the biggest hiding of your life.

 

its just a load of bollocks. period. When were the americans a smart bread.

 

It only a matter of time until one of these dicks gets seriously hurt

 

she wont be in any trouble though its natural

 

Bad language so NSFW

 

*breed


Oh the irony

 

Clown abuse!

 

Well, with Halloween at our door step, we will see more scary clowns around this season. I came across this piece of news today, where Kate Middleton's parents are being criticised for supplying far too distasteful costumes to the market:

Things have gone bad to worse. I'd rather see a child throwing an egg to my window over the Halloween as a good old fake ghost or a fake devil than appear on my door step in such disturbing costumes. They're not even funny.

 

At least they will all fit in the one police car...

 

 

Our local paper is hyping this up out of all proportion, calling it a killer clown epidemic.
The real clowns you have to worry about around here don't wear masks. They stagger out of wetherspoons after 10 pints and punch you in the back of the head whilst you are drawing money out of the cash machine.

 

All the panels will fall off, then the wheels - leaving them sitting on a chassis sliding down the road.

All accompanied by the comedy #ah-roo-rah# hooter noise.

 

The clown scare is actually making my youngest quite nervous


He has been getting into our bed most nights since it started

 

 

You should definitely report that, Hodgy!

 

thanks JT

but two things - he is simply reacting to playground talk, and he does not need much excuse to come into our bed


but he IS an example of someone who does feel anxiety, and the anxiety of others - by a sort of awareness and simple osmosis

for example he was very upset by Brexit - he sort of got all the doom and gloom and fear mongering that went with it all
