I really should watch the news more...
Just got off phone to my daughter who lives in Edinburgh n she was telling me about this, apparently people dressed as clowns chasing folk down the street.
I would freak out if this happened to me!

Thing is they are gonna do it to the wrong person and someone is gonna give them an affa kicking.
And the poor bugger who does it is gonna get lifted because of these idiots. |

"Arrested would be the least of their worries if they tried that nonsense on me!
They'd have to have that clowns mask surgically removed from their rectum! "
I agree, my two 12 year old daughters are petrified, I think I would genuinely give them a hiding |

Even worse in my little corner of the world as they are ringing peoples doorbell then brandishing a knife and demanding money.
My mother lives on her own, bless her she is petrified. Told her to ask who's at the door before opening it and not to open the door if she doesn't know the person on the other side. |

Now that deserves a good kicking |

tbh if I heard of someone that happened to I'd happily come round and wait on the bastards chapping the door and give them a hiding they won't forget |

"Ye seen this a craze which started in the US.
Not scared of clowns but wouldn't wanna come across one either x
Especially the gobshite ones brandishing a knife   "
On the news said it was a plastic fake knife but still pretty sick. It's going to end badly.

Over the hills and far away |
Its been happening for years, mainly in the states or eastern european countries, but everywhere has done it once or twice at least lol. Its a little funny I think... though shouldn't be done on randoms.. more friends if anything but if ya search youtube for "killer clown prank" you'll see loads of videos for few years back |

Yeah! It has been around for years.
I thought the trend had died down by now... obviously not!
Happened in France a couple years ago and they also got arrested. The clowns mainly targeted children walking home alone after school!
The ones I have seen many years ago when it started were people pranking their own friends and not random people and kids!

Same, esp with all the hype just now over this.  |

When it's not involving threat, weapons or kids/elderly we find it fun, creepy but it's somewhat festive given it's nearly Halloween. We're talking about the harmless, standing around just being creepy kind.
People will, of course, take it too far and ruin it.
Has any been seen in Glasgow? Might go for a drive this weekend and see if we can spot any.
Also, Harley Quinn is essentially a clown and no doubt there'll be one or five at CJ's  |

Personally more alarmed and frightened by the amount of people who think a violent response is appropriate, both here and elsewhere.
A guy in a creepy costume trying to frighten/prank is obviously scary. Hell, we've travelled quite far to visit the best horror attractions for the fun of this.
Much more afraid of "regular" people who are violent or prone to violent behaviour. Has very bad experiences of violence. |

There's been instances of more sinister motivation than just setting out to prank or scare people. Eejits...sorry, clowns carrying claw hammers or machetes. You have two choices, fight or flight. If you are burdened with shopping or children, it wouldn't be easy to run.
If this clowning around continues, it will add a new risk factor to dogging and outdoor meets. |

It's not violence for violence sake
These idiots are threatening kids and old people with weapons. Real or fake. Would you stand by in the hope it's a prank and not some fucking loonball??? |

The police have stated not to respond violently as that it self is a crime and regardless of what motivation you have you will be prosecuted. There is no self-defense exemption in Scottish law.
And we have every right to be concerned about such bravado and blasé attitude towards violence. When you have been attacked severely, by people who justified it by means which were legitimate to them and still think it's ok to assault people then that's up to you.
Condemning the clowns but celebrating people actually committing assault, both are as bad.
The media has run riot with this, according to the statement released yesterday no clowns have actually hurt anyone. What if your kid, thinking it was funny, went put as a clown with their friends and someone beat them within an inch of their life. Not the smartest thing to do, sure, but people do dumb things all the time. |

Well ppl shouldn't clown around lol
I never said be violent but if a clown or ANYONE jumped out on me with a weapon I wouldn't find it at all ""funny"" or a ""prank"" it could be a real danger to my life !! |

"Most of the UK and Scottish reports have need hoaxes, thankfully.
Clowns freak me out. Someone jumped out on me I'd justifiably kick their arse.
