The Creepy Clown Craze

2016-10-01

The rampant news items of so-called 'creepy clowns' reeking havoc on various communities has grown a lot since those early Wasco, California days and the episodes there I wrote of a while back.

Now they're here in South Carolina and scattered all about with local law enforcement agencies becoming resolute toward ending this ridiculous trendy 'monkey see, monkey do' crap.

Now I recall the movie It based on the book by Stephen King with the clown Pennywise and that creepiness was bad enough on the screen.

Now we have a lot of "me too" imitators lacking one essential element: that supernatural spin required to escape a speeding .357 magnum hollow point slug that I would fire into their skull.

Suffice it to say that I am content to allow law enforcement to handle the problem. However, the reality remains that anyone so fool hardy as to pull some 'creepy clown' antics in an effort to scare me will likely find themselves on a coroner's slab shortly forthwith.

I'm not talking about the casual elevator encounter at work. I'm not talking about halloween costumes and such. Probably not this guy either.

I'm talking about the clown intimidating those persons in proximity. I'm talking about an obvious menace out for no good.

I don't like to feel threatened and I would likely be inclined to stand my ground in such a situation.
