Clown Watch 2016

[hereyago]

So, my city and the next to it is under a Clown Watch,lol.
Via social media, clowns have posted they will come to schools to kidnap and shoot. Police presence has been increased.

Calls and letters have gone out to parents.

This solidifies our society has become a bunch of candy butts.


Now before anyone goes: they have to take threats seriously.

Yea yea because kids who go shoot up schools, terrorists who attack usually ask for an appointment for when would be a good time to attack. Let alone clowns or clowns who look scary.



Has your area been under a Clown Watch?

 

[indimom]

Are you from Indiana?? Our school didn't have any threats, but I'm aware of a couple schools that apparently have something going on.
Just wondering if this ridiculousness is the same one you are talking about??
Oh, and there have been clowns seen near a woods, scaring people.
And a clown that chased a woman near her home.

Is this because of the new IT movie coming out? Halloween? Who knows...

 

[Hikergirl]

There have been creepy clown sightings in my hometown. I know a few people who are afraid of clowns, this has got them over the edge.

 

[indimom]

Sooo... just did a little online search. Sounds like this is scattered around the country. I'm guessing because of the new movie, but who knows.

Same thing is happening here in Western MD Sad state of affairs when clowns, who once made people laugh , are now causing such chaos. Stories here have them trying to abduct children.

 

[msjprincess]

Yep. Clowns all over.

 

[bellebud]

The people doing this are really asking to be hurt, shot, run over, etc. Absolutely crazy!

I live in Virginia.

A few weeks ago, our news had that in N. Carolina, clowns were trying to lure kids into woods.


Some schools didn't notify parents and now they are mad. Some of these schools are pretty rough and they are worried about clowns,lol.

So, it seems they've already caught the two juveniles who made threats toward our local schools.
And they also caught the guy who chased the woman from her car to her front door.

Probably the large shoes slowed them down...

The whole thing is so weird. I remember kidnapper clowns being an urban legend when I was a kid. It was a rumor that spread through the neighbourhood, be careful of vans with clowns that try to kidnap you.

I do too. Just last week our local Richmond news had a story about scary clowns prowling around, peeking in windows, etc.

I blame @c.diddy for starting it all. Have you seen his avatar???!!! Hahahaha!

 

[msjprincess]

My kids just came home and said there were cops outside the school all day. Apparently a clown posted on FB that they're school district was next. A couple of other school districts were on lock-down. It's crazy.

ETA
We just got a robocall from the superintendent to discuss the "clown situation".

 

[cmarsh31]

My kid just came home from MS talking about this - saying he heard it happened in our town park (NOT true). Thank goodness for the DIS to at least let me know that my kid hasn't totally lost his mind.

I always remember that weird clown serial killer in the Chicago area years ago. Creepy and sad!

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

I'll check in. I'm outside of Albany NY and got a letter home today.

My parents live outside of Tampa and got a much more serious one saying the clowns are threatening people with harm.
