Clown threats of shooting at some Colorado Springs high schools as well. Nothing on the news but the district is sending out emails to parents.

Default School district shuts down after creepy clown attack

Quote:
HAMILTON COUNTY, Ohio. – A school district in suburban Cincinnati has closed schools after a woman reported being attacked by a clown overnight.

Reading Community City Schools decided to close after a woman in Reading was allegedly attacked on her front porch by a man dressed as a clown. During the attack the man reportedly threatened students at the schools.

From the article:

The woman told police the clown said, “I should just kill you now” and “students and teachers (will) wish they were never born at the junior and senior high school today.”


The students and teachers of Reading, Ohio were born at the junior and senior high schools?

This is just more evidence of America's health care crisis. smh

You don't chase little children like that, and get away with it too long....
People might think they are predators, and they very well could be, who knows but way too many people are applying for license to carry to protect their families....
Why is that sad? If that's what it takes to get these morons to stop doing this than too bad if one of them gets shot.

That just may be what it takes for this trend to end.

It's sad because some family man is going to spend life in prison for murder.

You can't just shoot people because they are running around in clown suits even if they are guilty of harassing people. Unless these clowns are in the act of killing or kidnapping, you'd be hard pressed to make a case for self-defense.

This just popped into my mind, but i know we are familiar with Stephen King's 'IT' pennywise the clown, i just remembered a couple episode's from this show i used to watch, called Are You Afraid of The Dark? that featured clowns.

Just look up the episodes titled: tale of the crimson clown, and the laughing in the dark. Both are spooky!

This isn't a prank.
I agree, but young kids don't think about that, and I bet most of them are kids....we just had one threat on Twitter, in my area....they threatened to go to the school and shoot people???????

I'm telling you, one of these people dressing up as a clown are going to get shot...if someone was hiding in the woods and someone else who has a license to carry saw them, well, simply said, prank or not, someone's going to get shot....
