If a few scantily dressed young ladies followed me home, wanting to handle my weapon, I wouldn't say no!
If a few scantily dressed young ladies followed me home, wanting to handle my weapon, I wouldn't say no!we are all very selective - if we were all followed around by attractive scantly clad young ladies, we wouldnt be suggesting it was a criminal offence
And if they were handling a weapon, even less so
Where does the six come from, Duffer?Exactly this Nick. The CET were calling it a 'craze' when there had been precisely six incidents in the UK. Six.
They're trying to create some sort of moral panic in order to make money for themselves, classic Daily Mail bullshit. Any newspaper or 'journalist' who involved themselves in this isn't worthy of the name.
As for the dickheads doing it, they just need to grow up. If scaring kids gets you off, and you're older than say nine, you've got serious issues that you need to resolve. I'm sure the kids' parents will be happy to explain in more direct terms if required!
Where does the six cone from, Duffer?
BBC said yesterday that the police have said they have been called out to dozens of incidents and one police force I heard say mentioned 14 incidents in 24 hrs.
Cumbrian police alone say they had 19 incidents just between 3 pm and midnight the day before last.There were six incidents in total reported across the UK when the CET tweeted and reported "Scary Clown Craze" the day before yesterday. They must be tremendously chuffed that the publicity is working and it's starting to catch on, as it'll save them having to spend money on actual reporting.
What I want to know is why isn't more being done about the hidden dangers of putting on your trousers. Why last year alone at least 6,000 people were injured in trouser-related incidents...

On average then, more than sixteen people a day are ending up with actual physical injuries. This is far beyond the numbers of people hurt in the current Scary Clown Craze, and it's been going on for years. It's an outrage I tell you. Why aren't our media focussed on the real issue here - ban these deadly trousers before it gets any worse.

The point is Duffer, some are carrying hammers and knives and are chasing people, especially children.
You think accidents in trousers is a more pressing issue than people running round chasing people with weapons?
No Otis, you're missing the point entirely. What I'm saying is that this is an issue that has been largely manufactured by the press who created a 'craze' when there simply wasn't one.
If you're f****d off about it, go and complain to the sodding morons who manufactured it - which includes the CET who talked about a 'craze' which was patently nothing of the sort.
If there really are people chasing kids with hammers and knives, then frankly they need shooting. But get some balance here, and maybe a sense of humour. Before the press got hold of it these 'killer clowns' were actually a far lower risk to your way of life than your trousers.
Ooh, deep.It would be funny if you ripped a clown's mask off and it was the same underneath.
I'd like to see some statistics on the dangers of putting on clown trousersThere were six incidents in total reported across the UK when the CET tweeted and reported "Scary Clown Craze" the day before yesterday. They must be tremendously chuffed that the publicity is working and it's starting to catch on, as it'll save them having to spend money on actual reporting.

I denote a touch of clownism there I think.I still don't see the appeal in doing it in the first place.
Can I also just say, you do seem a little angry and aggressive about it all.You are usually calmer.
It doesn't bother me personally and my only concern is on behalf of my 86 year old parents (this sort of thing would really shake them up) and my 12 year old daughter, who frightens easily.
Don't think any of us are that bothered about people in clown masks just going 'boo'.'
I do think it was right for the CT and the Beeb to report it, as several police forces have come out and made official statements on the matter, so they obviously are taking it quite seriously themselves. In fact, I am sure the police forces released the statements before the CT decided to report on it.
As with most things, 90% will probably be harmless fun and the other 10% will make it as sinister as they possibly can.

It didn't at a the time, but it does now.Not sure why, but this made me laugh...
