About those clowns in SC....

[Are_grits_groceries]

There are multiple reports and most from one area. I have no idea how many of these reports are true or are just repeating what was heard. The police are taking it seriously and trying to get to the bottom of this.

Those clowns better be careful. People don't play when it comes to their kids. Somebody gonna stake out that area and shoot those fools. This is not funny.

1. What is this about?

ETA: holy crap!! I just googled SC and it came right up!! Creepy and yes, somebody is likely to get shot.

2. This type of thing makes everybody jumpy and

can lead to tragedy. I'm not sure what they can be charged with if they are caught, but they need some time in jail or whatever.

put me on ignore so that I won't ruffle your dainty feathers just in case.

Do some research if it bothers you so much.

Or better yet, just ignore things. That's the easy way.

3. Looks like it might be a promo for a movie

Pretty dangerous promo.

4. At first I thought our legislature was busy.

That's a stupid promo. I think that movie will find some resistance and it's not a good way to promote anything.

5. I still think it's some idiots trying to create the next viral videos on YouTube

People can make good money off advertising revenue once they are "internet famous" and hidden camera footage of creepy clowns would be a way to get there is some people's eyes.

7. Oh, you meant clowns literally.

I thought you were talking about Trey Gowdy or Mark Sanford or somebody.

8. They think it started with

Flyers being handed out in a nearby apartment complex, and blew up from there, turning into a massive unconfirmed scare.
