Is this starting to get serious, or what?
Yesterday a nut in a clown costume, armed with a knife, chased a teenage boy out of a New York City subway station ( http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Clown-With-Kitchen-Knife-Chases-Teen-out-of-Subway-Station-NYPD-396121641.html) . The fact that the clown didn’t catch the boy has not allayed the fears of the NYPD, who are looking to catch this…er, clown and charge him with a crime.
And a Connecticut school district has banned clown costumes for Halloween.
More and more of these incidents are cropping up nationwide. It’s not quite as harmless a fad as hula hoops or pet rocks–it’s really scaring people.
But let’s put things in perspective: the persons currently running our country are a lot scarier than creepy clowns.
