'Clown Lives Matter' march planned for Oct. 15 in Tucson
This should be a nationwide happening; kind of like zombie marches, naked bike rides and bare your breasts events.
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Organizers are planning a "Clown Lives Matter" march for October 15 in Tucson in reaction to the recent spate of frightening incidents -- both real and imagined -- spread in the news and on social media.
The march will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 15 on 4th Avenue in Tucson. Attendees are invited to show up wearing full clown makeup or masks.
According to a flyer advertising the event, "this is a peaceful way to show clowns are not psycho killers. We want the public to feel safe, and not be afraid. So come out, bring the family, meet a clown and get a hug!"

I suspect that this will get the DUmies all stirred up since it seems to be mocking BLM...

Well so far they don't appear to be taking the bait.

They did now; I just checked now, and it's 3:45 a.m. central time.
Sometimes the primitives are retardedly slow in picking up on nuances, subtle hints, irony, satire.

11. Actually, 3 teens were arrested in our area for making threats to others
They did it via Facebook, with clown images, threatening to kidnap and kill fellow students.
that is against the law, they got arrested, made the front page.
If this is the same one, this incident happened at Perry Meridian Middle School yesterday in Indianapolis I believe. I hadn't heard about arrests though. It was quite comical, school on lockdown and HS called in over clown pictures on the internet.

24. No. Dressing up like a clown and hiding the face is the same as if wearing a hood.
You cannot tell who the face is under the hood. You cannot tell who the face is under the mask. Or whiteface. Before, all they did was dress this way and stand around. Now they are openly mocking a civil rights movement.

As for, "mocking a civil rights movement," the way GLBTXYZ-folk and Muslim-activists have made a mocker of the civil rights movement needs to be called out, and deserves to be mocked. How the recent "creepy clown" stuff - which I have not followed - constitutes "openly mocking a civil rights movement". I don't know. Maybe "icymist" sees an analogy to the KKK that no sane and sober person would see.

I do kind of like the idea of that, actually.
I've read reports that lots of actual clowns have been very upset by the massive influx of "Evil/ scary clown" characters seen in pop culture kind of giving them a bad name, and all these recent "Scary clown" sightings are making things worse for them.
So, I'd be all for actual clowns holding marches or other public events to remind everyone that the real purpose of clowns is to bring joy and laughter to others.

Clowns are plots by rabbits. More signs of humanity's destruction by rabbits.
