As of late-August, when clowns started tormenting a town in South Carolina, there have been hundreds of reports of "Creepy Clowns" across the United States. This is a real-life nightmare. These clowns have been reportedly trying to lure children into the woods, and chasing people around with various weapons. One has even allegedly assaulted a woman on her back porch. They've caused schools to close for days, and the White House has even mentioned this phenomenon in their briefing. These clowns have even taken to social media sites, making threats online.
Around college campus's including Kent State University, The University of Connecticut, The University of Miami, and Penn State University are among the schools that have reported seeing these "creepy clowns" on campus. In a true college fashion, different schools have students actually chasing these clowns around campus, posting videos on Twitter and Instagram.
This is NOT funny! Clowns across the nation have the police running rampant around their towns, being pulled away from keeping their communities safe. It has led to more than 12 arrests in the United States, under charges from making false reports and threats to chasing people. These hoaxes are inducing panic everywhere, for everyone. There are real things in this world to be afraid of. There is also a lot more things the people of the United States need to be concerned with. In a little over the month, we elect the newest leader of the free-world. Today, there was suspected terror attack in Belgium. The Nobel Peace prize was awarded, and the Tulsa police shooting has raised race riots. The last thing we need are people dressing up as clowns, causing concerns for people across the United States.
