The Attak of the Clowns

Police in Seattle are on the lookout for members of a machete-wielding gang in angry clown make-up after a rampage of robbery and violence left nearly two dozen people injured while dozens more were treated for excessive helium inhalation 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, entertained, robbed and delighted 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, robbery and wacky mayhem last week, but police in the City of Lakewood said they are searching for another twenty five to thirty suspects who took part. They are believed to be driving a green and white polka dot colored Volkswagen Rabbit.
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 said it in such a way that we all had to laugh.” Said Marge Rincon of Seattle. “There was actually a decapitation line, there was a sucker punch line. We thought it was all in fun.”
