SEATTLE (Reuters) - Police are on the lookout for members of a machete-wielding gang in angry clown make-up after a rampage of robbery and violence that left nearly two dozen people injured in a park in western Washington state.
The group, who said they were "juggalos," devotees of the Detroit-based rap-metal group Insane Clown Posse, attacked and robbed visitors to Fort Steilacoom Park while shouting "Woo, woo, juggalo!" to each other, according to court documents.
Prosecutors in Pierce County south of Seattle charged three people with assault and robbery last week, but police in the City of Lakewood said they are searching for another eight to 10 suspects who took part.
According to police reports, some members of the gang wore black hooded sweatshirts or clown make-up and told victims they would "cut their heads off" with machetes. They stole cash, wallets and cell phones, the reports said.

An Insane Clown Posse with too much time on it's hands is definitely a menace to society.

Did they get the idea from Bill Murray in "Quick Change"? He robbed a bank dressed like a clown.

Just confirms my life-long belief:
Clowns are creepy.
Oh, and I have never met a really sane one, either; so Insane Clown Posse is a redundancy.

well, I am a Juggalo, this stuff doesnt happen often. we're not a gang. there are gangs, but we dont go around starting trouble for other people. I guess the people had to do with another gang or something. I personally think it was drug deals gone bad, because isnt it odd that all of it happened after the park closed??? some Juggalos get into other gangs (Bloods, Crips etc.) all except Folks because they hate us and want us dead like alot of other people. we're not racists or anything about hatred. if you listen carefully to the lyircs, the music is about doing the right stuff in life and the killing, well, is entertainment and a metaphor (if thats the right word for a word/object meaning the same as another but in a different way) to not do those bad things (be a racist redneck piece of shit). but Im gonna guess somebody is gonna say something to me like "FUCK YOU!" because I usually get that... well, thats all I wanted to let ya'll know. oh and Im from Tacoma, so I know alot of Juggalos in JE and stuff, so yeah
