I am so upset and very scared of what is happening in the world with these people dressing up as clowns and scaring people by chasing them down to rob them and some are breaking into homes! Last night I was riding my stationary bike on my enclosed outside porch and every acorn that dropped sounded like foot steps and I was paranoid thinking a clown was going to attack me from behind! I know it sounds funny but NO bozo will get the best of me and he will go down if I ever see one in person! :sweat:
-
I agree, it's so upsetting!
-
I keep hearing all about these "Clowns" but has any of them ever been caught?
-
That's terrible. This is the first I've heard about these clowns. Sounds pretty creepy. My husband has a clown phobia. When he was a kid his dad took him to McDonald's when they had Ronald statues sitting on a bench. His parents wanted to get a picture of him with it and he freaked out. Years later a guy dressed as Ronald McDonald tries to hug him and he decked the clown. After we began dating a clown tried to shake his hand and he just told the clown that he'd go away if he enjoyed eating without a straw. So, naturally I had to take him to Ripley's Haunted Adventure in Gatlinburg, TN. I promised him that there were no live characters so he agreed. He screamed all the way through as the live actors chased him around and grabbed at his feet. I never laughed so hard. I just knew he was going to kill me.

this world is so horrible now a days, getting to the point I am starting to get scared to go out at night. I rather just stay home.
-
A carry a sharpened pocket knife and my keys with me at night if I have to take my dog out. My apartment complex is fairly quiet and my husband and I have never had any issues since we've lived here, but I'd rather be prepared just in case.
-
My grand-daughter called me to tell me about those.
They were freaking her out, and she wanted to warn me.
I hate clowns. This just confirms to me why they are creepy.
If a person has to go to such lengths to disguise himself, with the intention of frightening you, something is really off.
:rose:

i think the clown thing is redicolous........... :-X >:(
-
Kinda spooked to think about people being mean.
-
Has any of the clown attacks turned out to NOT be a hoax? Every clown attack I have seen reported is followed a couple days later with someone being charged with filing a false police report.
-
There have been clowns in the town next to us. They robbed someone walking. Came out if a wooded area dressed in the stupid clown costumes.
-
There are lot of clowns in the guise of politics and running for the President of the USA. Now those are where the clowns are.
-
I hate clowns
-
What is up with this crap?! So scary. :(
-
i agree i think it is sickening that these people are doing this
-
I heard a rumor that this may be a promo for an upcoming movie. But who knows? We have enough clowns in Washington DC we do not need more of them roaming the streets
-
There has been clown sightings in my area. Some have even gone to peoples' doors. Lord help the one that tries to scare me. I become very defensive when I get scared. I have my concealed weapons license, am trained to shoot and carry a loaded pistol with me always. I am not afraid to use it, either!
-
Agreed - so much worrisome stuff in the world and some idiots had to come up with this clown stuff. It seems like the world is headed for people being afraid of leaving their homes. I have bars on my windows and honestly am considering bars over the doors. I think the world is headed for a very bad place.
-
Oh P.S. I would do away with a clown or anyone else who I felt was endangering me, my family or my home. Honestly wouldn't bother me at all.
-
I never could understand why a person would hate or fear clowns. I didn't get it. They seem quite innocuous to me. :party:
But now I've been seeing this on the news and I just want to cry. Not because I worry about a clown's reputation; although I do, but because there is not one thing that's sacred anymore. Anything is fair game.
Right now it's bash the national anthem era for all young athletes. Absolutely unbelievable. What next? :-\
:fish:
-
In my state three sixth grade girls made clown threats against three area schools. Supposedly charges will be filed. So crazy!
-
It's really crazy and October really bring out strange people doing strange things. I'm always looking for suspicious activity because you never know what's on someone's mind.
d.
-
Will always be afraid of them despite how cheerful they try to make it look like ><
-
I am very scared of clowns
-
Where is Batman? He needs to get Joker and his clowns in order
-
Clowns is just another word for terrorists for these Bozos!Yes the pun was intended.
Anything today that adds to fear not knowing the way out is to be expected!
-
I know what you mean cause it is very scary!! We must all be aware of our surroundings at all times and be prepared at all times.
-
it's really sad actually...don't blame you for being paranoid. I hated clowns already before all this stuff started
-
When I first heard of the story, I said, that did not happen. Unbelievable :sad1:
-
I've never had a problem with clowns and with Halloween coming up....
I didn't think too much about it.
I understand; however, if people are committing crimes in Clown or Halloween costumes it could be a problem. I recently learned that some people have a specific fear of clowns; which is called coulrophobia.
-
It is not happening that much. Just been a few times. Supposedly it has happened about 45 minutes from where I live. I am not worried about it. I don't venture out at night. If I meet one in my driveway when I go out to go to work I am guessing he will need an ambulance. lol

We had a lock-down at one of the schools in our district where my children attend which prompted all schools in lock-down mode twice this week because of some people dressed as clowns carrying weapons. I thought it was just some kind of non sense but now I read yours and my brother in Vegas reported the same with people dressed as clowns carrying weapons on school grounds. What is happening in America?
-
It is a pretty dangerous trend like the ice bucket challenge.

OMG..I am cracking up at your story! lol ... sorry but it's funny. :D poor guy... he needs to get rid of his fear of clowns though. Buy him a clown doll and let him punch it in its face. lol

It's a scary world out there now a days! And yes! My son had a lock-down at this school on Friday as well because of a "clown sighting" near the middle school. Crazy stuff out there and it's terrible how it has put Americans in fear and most have a phobia as it is with clowns! It's a nightmare out there and sorry to disappoint my son but Halloween in my house is cancelled until I see Bozo's head on a mount! lol

What do you mean a hoax? I had not seen any that were a false report. There were 2 people arrested not far from where I live.
-
I only like my clowns slappy happy.
-
Agreed, just going to get worse with Halloween around the corner.
-
