Fans of the horror core group Insane Clown Posse don’t just sit around listening to crappy music together they also engage in gang activities according to a recent report filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI called the Juggalos (the name for ICP fans) a “family gang” during their latest national gang threat assessment and listed them next to the likes of family gang’s located in Asia, Somali and Jamaica.
While the Juggalos have not always been the most organized group the FBI report says they have moved beyond smoking weed and trying to figure out how magnets work (sorry if you don’t get the joke) to “engaging in more gang-like criminal activity, such as felony assaults, thefts, robberies, and drug sales. Social networking websites are a popular conveyance for Juggalo sub-culture to communicate and expand.”
The group is especially fond of Facebook and Twitter use which they use to spread their gang activities like wildfire, keeping law enforcement officials on their toes.
The FBI report also reveals that the Juggalos are beginning to spread their reach into New Mexico after having formerly branched out in Utah, Arizona, California and Pennsylvania.
It’s still unclear how the Juggalos will be targeted by FBI officials, perhaps government agents will just start showing up at concerts dressed as clowns, after all there’s nothing more scary than a gang who’s founding relics are a bunch of crappy rappers who wear clown makeup and get owned by Eminem whenever they try to call him out on records.
Do you think the FBI and Juggalos war will come to a quick end?
We aren't going any where haters! Wicked clowns hide in your closet come out after your mommy tucks you into bed and shove happy meal toys up your ass.
dear james johnson. try alittle research befor u wright. u sound like a moron. not even half of what u said is even near true. you cant just geuss about stuff and wright it down. well u can but it makes u a lazy hack.
Yo fuck tha FBI they can suck my painted nuts them and all police all I can say is fuck 'em.
Jason, before you say someone sounds like a moron learn how to spell the word "WRITE" and realize that "A LITTLE" is two words. Also look at the FBI statement, it states exactly what is in this article..
yeah your a crappy writer and a hater, where you learn your insider info? for your information we're a religious cult..lol now write that in your crappy…inquisitr… you can't even spell your own e-paper right.
James Allen Johnson awsome, i cant spell. that makes me fit right in w/ the so called gang right? and im not talken about what u copyed from the fbi. just every outher word.
First, YOUR is spelled incorrectly, second it's not insider info as it's posted in the official FBI briefing about the current state of gangs. Third you should be capitalizing after the question mark. Fourth, Inquisitr is not in reference to inquisition and is spelled how it is intended for example Facebook wasn't a word until Mark Zuckerberg named it "Facebook" and an e-paper is a type of electronic document not a website, blog or respective publication of any known origin.
James Allen Johnson it must be nice to have a job where u can just make things up & not have to worry if your telling the truth or just filling space.
Jason Morean It's all documented Jason, look at the the FBI briefing on your own, it can be found on the internet. Also in response to your second post it's "copied" not "copyed" and it's "other" not "outher."
James Johnson ok there buddy, just keep getting all up tight over my gramer and spelling. and as i said. i read the briefing. its the rest of the trash ur talken that is BS. and btw, seeing as ur the big "CEO" at Indyposted LLC, shouldent u be taking the high road & not arguing w/ readers & gang members? ur a real pro. but u wont be for long if u cant do ur job w/ out maken stuff up.
When someone says documented facts are lies I should absolutely be explaining where the facts came from as that is taking the high road.
Dear asshole who wrote this shitty ass report………get off eminems dick they killed that beef years ago why dig up something that is dead. second everyone is intitled to thier own opinions nd everyone has the right to be stupid but right now u are over usin and abusin that right. third if u think its crappy music =, WHY ARE U LISTENING TO IT? YOU'RE JUST LIKE THE DUMB FUCKS ON YOUTUBE WHO SIT THERE AND TYPE SHIT TALK BOUT THE SONGS IF U DOn't FUCKIN LIKE IT DOn't FUCKIN LISTEN TO IT…….and guess what most of us juggalos actually have real jobs soo go suck a dick and die.
haha, this guy thinks hes better then a Juggalo cause he can point out our spelling mistakes. people will never understand what being a Juggalo is if they cant open there mind the smallest bit. but thats ok, the joke is on them. let them act like they have a clue & talk out there @$$. step on down and turn the crank!
James Johnson wow, ur to dumb to even talk to. if u cant see that i already said twice that i WASENT TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE FBI SAID! IM TALKING ABOUT THE STUFF U ADDED TO TRY TO MAKE IT A STORRY. anyway, peace out. ur just proving my point the more u respond. its really sad.
HE PROBABLY HAS NEVER LEFT HIS BASEMENT, AND NEVER HAD SOME JUGGALETTE PUSSY, WELL HE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE TYPE WRITER OUT HIS ASS BEFORE HE CAN MEET ME IN THE MOSHPITS AND I'LL HAVE TO SEE HIM SMOKE SOME CHEVAH BEFORE I WILL EVER LET HIM STAND NEXT TO ME AT A GATHERING…SO WHAT HALF THE WORLD IS IN OUR RELIGIOUS CULT THAT'S WHY HE'S HATING…DID I SPELL THAT RIGHT….AND I CAN CAPITALIZE THIS…UP SIDE YOUR STUPID HEAD HATER…CALL THE FBI…
So basically, just because a few people that listen to ICP and call themselves juggalos go out and do some stupid shit.. we ALL are automatically a gang? Fuck that, I'm proud to be a juggalo. Call me a gang member if you want, it's not going to change a damn thing. I'm still going to be ME and only ME. Don't like it? I couldn't give a fuck less. I don't participate in any "gang activity" and neither do 99% of the juggalos I know and associate with. Yes we are a gang by definition. "a group of people with compatible tastes or mutual interests who gather together for social reasons" and by that definition I'll bet whoever is reading this is part of a "gang" too. whether it be gathering together to watch sports, go to the bar to hang out, etc. etc. We're just closer to each other than you even know and it scares you.
"motherfuckers fear what they do not understand, and what they do not understand, they try to destroy".
wow I didn't know that just because u listen to icp that makes u a gangbanger lmmfao.if the fbi wants to say that about icp then they should look into other rappers shit talking bout all the same stuff icp talk about so screw the fbi thinking this crap I listen to icp and never ever will I think of myself as being in a gang.
yea I'm 35 yr old 5 children pay taxes go to work don't own a gun and go to church (yes dressed the way I do) my kid is.
got a scholarship for collage my kids enjoy reading and my wife looks like a mother w children at r local pta. I don't sell drugs and love my music and down w the clown since the beginning.
I watch survivor and big brother and I'm voting again next yr. so y am I being discriminated against b/c I'm enjoy the fam. and culture. and never broke the law. so lets see my wife was a cheerleader enjoys the culture and go to gatherings to practice and enjoy her stuff or even football players do things together like drink fight were certain clothes to show there love and beat up on kids. also u can find news stories of them doing drugs selling drugs robbing just a few but are they a gang! no…
this is discrimination in its purest form. we like all religion race sex creed and cultures and they r welcome to enjoy this lifestyle. there is no creed that says u have to do criminal activities to be one just love and respect.so I say juggalos are concidered a gang then so should fans of sports cause we have seen the destruction they cause when they r togther but since these rednecks love their football and sports its freedom of expression. or can we just call it what it is a few bad apples makes us look bad just like a few fans can make a team look bad.
or IMO just another redneck that needs to be chicken huntin……..whoop whoop.
p.s how am I supose to tell my kids that daddy got pulled over for being a clown and by the way they r named heven-leigh grace christian truth jordan cross and angel faith cause even clowns can love god.
Maybe you should stop writing fake articles for your own pleasure juggalos haven't done shit to anyone and the ones who are committing these crimes are juggalo haters trying to make us look bad FBI don't want juggalos they have better things to do with their lives sorry you waisted an hour of your life writing bullshit
.
I think this bitch motherfucker needs to look at his own words more carefully. He's not safe and there really is no organization to the Juggalo scene and Somebody he knows is a juggalo and WILL beat his ASS for talkin shit! I'm an old school juggalo and I don't deny the roots in gangster rap (Inner City Posse) or the fact that the choruses are started getting lame after 2000 and slowly got worse, or the fact that we use the word family and we do watch out for eachother, but the FBI considering us a gang is ignorant, and even they know it. The only reason they're monitoring it as such is to outwardly show a conscious response to media outcry from incidents where Juggalos also happen to include criminals! NO SHIT! REALLY? I'm sure the FBI is smart enough to know what they're doing and I'm not the least bit concerned about being a Juggalo and being targeted by police and FBI because of it, and if there ever was a "war" on Juggalos the FBI would have to be some sore losers going against a concept that cannnot be killed, based on a collection of music distributed world wide in the information age none the less, and of course they're outnumbered by the millions and can't deny that there are no orders being handed down by ICP or direct affiliates in any way that are being carried out by Juggalos….. but really? Bitches like this should really watch his little faggot ass mouth and ask his hero Eminem if he would ever fuck with them in person. Dr. Dre is a real gangster and he was smart enough to stay out of it. Any physical violence that results should not be considered gang related because it is no different than gettin hit in your mouth for talking shit to anybody anywhere. Welcome to reality dipshit!
Absolutely not. With every type of group that is known to man there is always a bad seed. Bigger of the group and you will in time receive more bad seeds. So what gives these assholes the right to clarify us as a threatened gang. I'm in through military and why don't you go and state the military members are a gang. Cause in your definition of how you attempt to describe the unorganized criminal activities like from juggalos is no different then military members, my brothers and sisters loosing there mind and doing similar acts. You also have so many corrupt government officials that claim for good but receive only what they see fit. This also goes against our amendment rights. If you can't take the time to listen to what psychopathic label group members really have to say, then you become exactly what they talk about in there music and shows your colors of how you judge a book by there cover. There is a lot of great messages in there words and in there music. But if you can't sit and hear it for yourself then what they achieve to separate you from us is exactly working. With also attempting to classify us like that you bring more attention on us which is not good for you. Bottom line. Seriously back off the juggalos and juggalettes. Its the best I can suggest appropriately.
Jason Morean i completely agree. Here is another thing to think about ninja, he just waisted all that time to correct you when in itself who cares about any or all the corrections. Now here's something funny. You and i both know his ass wouldn't be seen at any event. And not even to add but for him to be as closed minded is exactly the point to put his own self on blast on many things. Like not understanding the beauty in there music and there words. Look at ABK 'The native' and the gifted things he talks about. This proves that assholes like him only can judge a book by there cover. It separates him from us. We do not judge nor want to be judged. That is exactly what icp in the 90's first beginning view points were. And it proves that no matter what goes on separation still must happen. For whatever reasons we all can't just come together or even at this. Leave the topics and us alone.
And juggaloism. The religion. Better write about that
BWAHAHAHAHA! Love ya there Lunch Box! Bwahahahah!
Wow for real? Just because u listen to their music doesn't mean u do any of that. I have listened to their music for a long time and consider myself as a juggalett but I have never been in trouble with the law, maybe a speeding ticket but who's to compare that to stuff like gang violence! I've never even held a gun before!
I look at it this way…..their are good people and bad people in the world and obviously the people that have commited these acts are bad and making a bad name for Juggalos and Juggaletts. The kind of music u listen to doesn't make u who u are, the kind of person u want to be is who makes u who u are!
Wow, I'm beginning to wonder if he didn't misspell his last name too. I almost wonder if it should say "Jason Moron"?
I don't see anything added to the story that wasn't in the Article I read on Yahoo. I think the writer here had a little more style and opinion in the writing of his much shorter piece. I think Juggalos are retarded to be quite honest. Jason, you kind of prove the point. You've made every effort to appear more intelligent than you are, you fail repeatedly with your attempts at grammar and spelling. And if you think it doesn't matter, try talking to people like you have Down's syndrome and see how they react. This is the internet, a text based medium for communication. Your spelling and grammar are the only things you can exhibit to people to prove you're not a blathering idiot. You sir failed miserably at every attempt. Maybe if the average Juggalo was smarter than you are, then you could have avoided the gang classification.
Jason Morean what did he add to make it a story? Opinion? Humor? Specify please.
Just because some Juggalos commit crimes doesn't mean we should ALL be labeled gang members if that is the case then while the FBI gathers this "intelligence" they should also add christians, cops, the government, and every group out there that come together as a group. Just because some christians kill in the name of God are they all killers, or because there are a few dirty cops then all cops are dirty or how about the government that is amoungst the most crooked of "organized gangs" out there so why not add them to this list of gangs? It's ridiculous to say the least; you can't just take a bunch of people who share similar likes and point your finger at them in judgement and lump them together as a whole and call us a gang just because you don't know or understand us if that is the case you should look in the mirror and point that finger at yourself and while we are at it put the FBI on that list! People fear what they do not know or understand. The Juggalo society is a group filled with all different beliefs and we all walk different paths therefor we are ALL different…no two are alike just like any society…so look at some of the worlds most prominent people…alot of them are crooked they do drugs, sell drugs, embezzle, steal, and yet the socialites aren't considered a gang. What about the republicans or the democrats? If your going to start putting people on gang status why don't you start with the groups who are more dangerous than us? Why not just put all of society on that list?
I agree with you !!!!
ya know I was thinking of something though are they gonna outlaw clowns on halloween now too? or circuses because of the clowns ? I mean thats what ICP is CLowns am I right? , the government is treating it as guilt by association , which is sooooo demented . I'll be damned if my son who is 5 years old and a lil Lo gets in trouble next year for dressing up like his FAV band. or my daughter who is turning 1 this month. What a crock , some advice how about the FBI worry about the real criminals out there!! Whoa Dejavue!!! thats weird . Great post by the way , took the words out of my mouth!!!! MCL WHOOP WHOOP !!!!!!
WHOOP WHOOP FAMILY FAMILY!!!!!!!
James Johnson , Back the hell off , are you a spell/grammar checker? how about some advice there ok come up with your own stories and stop copying shit that dont concern you . Juggalos are not as bad as some people make them out to be DUH!!!!! PETTY SHIT YA THINK?
Bonnie Lea Fischer-Stebbins whoop whoop! Yeah it is a crock and they know it….probably someone in the FBI got butthurt by a juggalo…keep your hatchet raised high we always come out on top!
Wikid Whisper WHOOP WHOOP MFCL!!!!!!!!!
whoop whoop! mmfwcl!
welll uhmmm this is all very interesting but if the fbi wants to get us where rite here. ive been apart of the juggalo family since I was eight years old man, now I'm fifteen almost sixteen. it irrelevant if people can spell or not and its ludacris that people are judgemental and hypocritical about who other people want to be and what other people do, without hatred and opinions there probably wouldn't be any juggalo family today but its not like we can help who hates us, just embace their hatred cuz just like the saying with one juggalo lies a pak of haters, it is true but the ironic thing is that they are the ones that made us famous. they are the ones that helped us with people knowing about juggalos, I love my family and ill never betray them so ima come outta my lil fun intellectual time and say whoop mutha fuckking whoop bitch if youu got somethin to say mother fuckker come say it to my face n lets see if youll ever be able to talk again bitch. I dgaf who you are and whut the fuck ever you do(prolly blowing horses off with his fatt mouth) but if I see youu on the sreets homie ill rescue youu from our dik sucking days and make sure youll never open ya mouth up again! IMA FUCK YOUU UP! I GET MAD! IMA FUCK YOUU UP! ITS ME N YOUU MOTHA FUCKKA IMA FUCK YOUU UP! hahaha
lmfao juggalo's a gang more like white trash and faygo drinkers.
lol I'm pretty sure I have never been in a gang…
I am one of the founders of one of the largest Juggalo websites on the net. At this point as an American all I can do is hang my head in shame after reading this. I really hate to inform the FBI but on our site (which we have video and text chat rooms) we have members from every walk of life from homeless (yes homeless people can get internet access too) to blue collar workers to members of our own military serving in Iraq! Yes our own military serving our country in A WAR ZONE! Out of the 2 years we have ran our sites we have had to ban MAYBE 10 people for hate, which by the way we do not tolerate hate in any form. Yet I can not count the number of people who have come on who have needed help. Not help from committing violence but from being the subject of violence at the hands of people who discriminated against them. To those who do not understand what it means to be a Juggalo or Juggalette it means a support group of peers when you need someone to be there to help you through hard times. We do act as a "Family" in the capacity of someone to lean on. There has been many of incidents where someone has logged on to the site who wanted to commit suicide and several of our long time members have helped them through their problems. As to Juggalos discriminating against Gay or Lesbians is way off several of the Juggalos and Juggalettes I know are gay, bi-sexual, or transgendered which we proudly support.
To the simple fact of the FBI now classifies us as a gang, can we get real. In any (and I do mean any) group there will be those who give a group a bad name, there will be trouble makers, there will be those who are out to further their own agenda through violence and criminal activity. This does not mean the group as a whole is a criminal group. I recall after hurricane Katrina that several of the remaining members of New Orleans Police Department committed acts of violence, theft and even murder for their own gains. Those members of New Orleans PD have or are now standing trial, yet by the FBI's own guidelines of if a few out of a group commit crimes then the group as a whole should be classified as a gang then all Police departments should be held to the same standards. Same should apply to churches when the pastor molests a child, or members of government when they take "kickbacks" or bribes. As a teenager I had extensive experience with gangs (all-be it this was almost 20 years ago now) and Juggalos hold nothing in common with Gangster Disciples, Bloods, or Crypts. We are more akin to the hippies of the 60's and 70's than anything else as a group in whole. Most (not all) do believe in legalization of marijuana, which as of my last check polls showed over 50% of Americans shared that same view. As for "hardcore" illegal drugs I can only speak for our site which we do NOT condone in any way and which most of our 6000 members agree with. We believe in love and peace not violence and robbery, we believe in support not hate or discrimination, and in these things most of our 6000 members agree as well.
As a site yes we have had our own problems with peoples views of Juggalos and even with views of smaller sites of Juggalos. This only furthers the idea not all Juggalos are alike and not all have the same views. Yet I would say as being one of the largest groups on the internet that by percentage we show a good representation of Juggalos as a whole. Which by the way our biggest complaint against us is we are an "ADULT ONLY" community and most of the complaints and "hate" sites refer more to the appearance of some of our members being over weight or unattractive in their view than anyone's behavior. Even Violent J of ICP puts out a yearly letter of tolerance and love among Juggalos and how the violence and hate sickens him.
In closing all I can say is if you believe Juggalos are a "Gang" please come check us out we are AdultJuggalos.net and I extend that invite to the FBI as well. Much Clown LOVE!
unbelievable huh rob. leave it to the F.B.I. to come up with something so foolish.. although im sure there are those out there who are using your juggalo group as an excuse to be idiots. as you know it onle takes one idiot to ruin it for everyone else. sorry sweetie.. love you.
the fuck they will they call us family for a reason.
Man fuck the cunt hair that wrote this garbage in the first place, Marshal Mathers is a slut child pussy assed cum fuckin whore jocky. That can such my insignificant left testy.
I don't care to here from some Nieves teenagers with personality disorder that it's just music. And there all not criminals !! Let me get my violin!! If you hang with the weido's look like them go places there at you deserve everything u get hopefully jail time and taken out of the public where good people have to
I've work, and socialize. And if it's such a great thing there teaching go live with them and talk all ya want about killing butchering and being a crazy hopefully some where far away . They simply bring in young dummies and brain wash them. Along with the mentally ill. I have seen this first hand and I am well informed and trained to call them out and hope we and FBI start taken down these Gang members and there so call Family swiftly!,
Jason Morean its like talking to a wall with this james guy, he reads something and believes it to be true with out being able to form his own thoughts about it, closed mind
