The Juggalos aren't just ICP fans— they've built a cultural identity around the music, the rap duo, and what it represents. In turn, ICP has stood up for its followers as they've been harassed and profiled all over the country. Unwittingly, these two white rappers from Detroit have become some of the nation's most determined advocates for free expression.
On September 16, 2017, ICP will lead the Juggalos in a march on the National Mall in Washington D.C. They'll be protesting the FBI's decision to label the group as a "hybrid gang" back in 2011 in the agency's National Gang Threat Assessment. Since then, local police have used the report as guidance, resulting in rampant harassment and profiling of a group defined by its love for a music group.
That's too bad. I kinda like them. They once bought a bunch of skull-themed quilts from me. I wish they'd come into my shop again. I made a good bit of money that weekend, all cash.
This is just a big PR stunt most likely. Those guys know this is all just entertainment. If anyone takes them seriously then they are just plain silly. I've watched them in interviews straight out say all of this stuff is just gags and for fun.
LOL, I hope so, otherwise we're in trouble. LOL, to me they just come off so over the top that it's pretty obvious that it's all just parody.
