no, people are actually wearing dumb clown outfits
I saw at least two youth dressed like that Goku dragonball guy in the last year, including one at a mall food court. Where is my warning and news report for that shit?

feel like following any of these assholes home discreetly, then putting on a Grim Reaper robe, holding a scythe, breaking into their room, and standing at the foot of their bed in the wee hours of the morning every night until they find some new shitty fad

Lurking clowns feed on fear, imo. The greater the panic over this, the more people will be inspired to clown. The solution is to stay calm, or deport all clowns.

Just checked a Facebook parent thread here, and there are kids having trouble sleeping, no longer interested in trick or treating, spreading rumors that clowns are killing people by the dozens (kids are gullible). My fave comment: "We have clowns threatening to kill people and billionaire villains running for president, so it's proof more than ever that we need Batman."
Not hearing so many complaints about sexy clowns, I guess we have to wait until closer to Halloween for that.

How to talk to your kids about scary clowns

I am going to dress up like a clown, sneak into my kid's room at night, wake them up and say hey, it's just me, your dad, no reason to be scared of clowns.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 October 2016 16:28 (seven years ago) link
I'm scary how? I mean, scary like I'm a clown, I alarm you? I make you scream, I'm here to fuckin' alarm you? What do you mean scary, scary how? How am I scary?

from some moron at my kids' school today:
Good afternoon Families,
Several of our schools have heard from concerned parents who said their students are talking about clowns committing potential acts of violence. Threats have been posted on Instagram and other social media platforms. Over the past few weeks, several have gone so far as to reference specific schools in Fulton County.
We are aware that some other school districts in metro Atlanta have received similar reports. Similar threats have also been made in recent weeks to schools around the country. Please know that in the majority of instances across the nation, these rumors have been deemed a hoax or a prank. While we believe the messages to be hoaxes, we will nonetheless take any threat towards our students and staff seriously and have been extra-vigilant.
We wanted parents to be aware that the Fulton County Schools Police Department is working with local authorities to investigate these reports to assess their validity. Please know that student safety is our number one priority.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call your principal.
Thank you for your support and partnership in keeping our students safe.
