China Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Lurking clown arrested in Kentucky woods near apartments Kentucky police have arrested a man dressed as a clown lurking in a wooded area amid a wave of clown reports in at least six US states. Jonathan Martin, 20, was charged with wearing a mask in a public place and disorderly conduct in Middlesboro. He was found at about 0100 EST (0600 GMT) on Friday in "full clown costume" and mask crouching among trees by an apartment complex, according to police. Recent reports of clowns trying to lure children into woods have sparked alarm. Police have warned individuals against dressing up in clown costumes, adding it could lead to criminal charges. "Dressing as a clown and driving, walking or standing in public can create a dangerous situation for you and others," police in nearby Barbourville, Kentucky, said in a statement online.

Springfield Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 This rash of creepy clowns has to be some sort of Internet gimmick, right? and why are they always near apartments, typically lower income areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 1 hour ago, TryTheBeal! said: Viral marketing for the "It" remake? They've denied any connection. Quote The studios behind both It and 31 told BuzzFeed News they are not affiliated with the clown sightings. “The company and the film 31 are not associated in any way with the creepy clowns and costumed characters found roaming the South,” a spokesperson from Saban Films, the studio making 31, said. A spokesperson for Warner Bros., which is behind It, also said the rumors are not true and that there is no connection between the film and the sightings. https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/those-scary-clown-sightings-arent-a-movie-marketing-stunt?utm_term=.oo3Zgejkov#.hybE3gPomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Odd, when I was a kid I never thought clowns were creepy. Now that I'm older, they are ****ing terrifying. It's a good thing that guy wasn't near my apartment, I'd be swinging on him like Muhammad Ali in '74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearfeather Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I've always thought they were creepy. I still remember when I was around three or four years old, my older brother teasing me before we went to bed one night that he " heard on the news that the clowns were coming out tonight ". I cant remember how I reacted, but I know I didn't like it very much. Bozo was the only clown I could tolerate. I still think they're creepy.

PokerPacker Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 first, are there two words scarier than "lurking clown"? Secondly, "wearing a mask in a public place" is a crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 so to be clear, everyone on the internet is afraid of spiders and clowns. Collectively, we are 4 year olds constantly at the edge of hysterics.. ****ing ridiculous. Interesting quote; " "Dressing as a clown and driving, walking or standing in public can create a dangerous situation for you and others," police in nearby Barbourville, Kentucky,said in a statement online. "While dressing up is not, in and of itself against the law, doing so in public and thereby creating an unnecessary sense of alarm is illegal." SO, because people are mentally 4 years old and can't get over their fear of a ****ing CLOWN, then birthday party actors are suddenly in danger of arrest simply for trying to get to little Timmy's party on time. "Oh my god officer,, he had a balloon! And.. and he twisted it to look like a giraffe!!! it was horrifyin'!" the most pathetic part is,, we think we can fight terrorism and we can't even stop from pissing ourselves at the sight of a clown. frankly, i hope these ridiculous charges were brought and this 'arrest' made simply to protect this guy from the poor terrified "adults" in the community. Bad decision, prank boy. there is no sense of humor left anywhere... everything should be feared here in the "home of the brave". Cops: Freeze, you! Clown: hyuk! hyuk! Cop: Look out! He's got a bulb horn! ~Bang!BANG!BANG!BANG! good shot,, clem. He mighta had seltzer down them pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size-ist. My co-worker told the whole staff last week that she's totally creeped out by super small people. We had a client in who had his legs amputated and his shoes were on his knees. Her words were "I couldn't look, had to walk away." C'mon man. Nah but Dink the clown is a creepy ass mother****er for real cousin. Empty a 12-guage in that mofo like Sarah Connor on T-1000 near the end of T2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
