If we could get all the clowns, mimes and ventriloquists to fight to the death the world would be a better place.
One was spotted on Calder, which is a half a mile from my place. If he shows up on my property I'm releasing my dog and busting out my rifle (which is a BB gun, but it can put a clown eye out!).
I honestly can't tell if this a media hoax or social expirement or just copy cat dumbasses. What I do know is people are scary enough without makeup. Fk around and find that out. I don't believe you can play victim after trying to prank someone and ending up getting your ass beat either. There was a guy apparently repping a haunted house near the strand some years back, right at the peak of the zombie everything craze. Guess what he was dressed as? Lol... well, my family was talking the next move over as he made his way down the street. I notice and would really prefer he not try to scare my grandparents or cousins who ranged from 2-5 years old, so who was he heading straight for? Another good guess. I politely get in his way. Politely eyeball him and let him know it wasn't happening. When he continued approaching I pull my knife out, apparently third time conveying a message is the charm. He leaves, thankfully without needing a 4th version of the move along message. 2 hours later we were leaving a restaurant and I see him holding his nose, noticing the blood is no longer fake. All I can think is damn dude. Some people don't think that **** is funny. Did you really end up with a broken nose because you just wouldn't stop being an ******* unless people resorted to physical violence? Well deserved.
I think what they need to do is report a fake news story and let the networks run with it. Just report that a clown was following someone and got shot and killed. They'll stop then.
If there really is some jackasses doing if in league city, schools have been sending letters to parents, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did get shot. Highest % of CHLs in the nation here.
Who would be the bigger jackass? The clown or the person shooting and getting slammed with a 3-figure attorney bill or jail time?
Obviously you wouldn't shoot just any clown, but let a clown come at me with a machete or a sledge hammer, and I'll have to retaliate. Just because they have face paint, doesn't make them immune to self defense laws, especially outside the parameters of a haunted house.
Fair enough, hammer or no hammer, still a 3-fig bill if you're not covered by that gunslingers insurance.
