Reports of “killer clowns” have emerged in three new states, as Virginia, Florida and Colorado struggle with Internet rumors and reported sightings that have left several towns shaken.
Residents and authorities in Palm Bay, Fla., have been on high alert since a resident reported seeing two “creepy clowns” staring at her from across a road as she walked her dog. And in Marion County, Fla., deputies are concerned after it emerged that a Facebook viral video, depicting a clown standing silently on the side of the road in the dark, had been filmed along a main thoroughfare in the area.
The video has more than a million views on Facebook.
In Henrico County, Va., a mother and daughter captured a “creepy clown” leering at them from another car during rush hour.

Actually, I think you hit on the reason for some of these “sightings.” A new version of King’s “It” is coming out soon. Nothing like dressing up folks and paying them a few bucks to make for a cheap and effective nationwide publicity stunt.
This idiocy stops the moment someone shoots a clown. Not that I necessarily advocate such a thing, but if some idiot decides to play rapist or kidnapper while made up as a clown, it is pretty much inevitable.
Boom! I’m lmao over here thinking about those big ol’ O’Dumbo ears.
I see a bunch of well ventilated clowns in someone’s future.
It’s all fun and games until... a creepy clown comes to my house! ‘It’ freaked me out!! I hate clowns!!!
I think one of them is Tim Kaine.
That was I could challenge one of the silly-assed laws, and prevail.
Hopefully also shame some adults who are scared of clowns.
*ROFL* Great pic!!!!!!!!!
killer clowns from outer space predates kings’ book to movie, I believe.
insane clown posse doesnt help the image either.

See my other comment about local TV Bozos.
There was also Clarabell the Clown on “Howdy Doody”. He was played by diff guys, including Bob Keeshan (aka Catain Kangaroo).
This vid of the one and only time Clarabell ever said anything (”Goodbye, kids.”), on the very last Howdy Doody show would probably seem pretty freaky-deaky these days:

Swing state ping! /sarc.
There are EXACTLY ZERO reports of a "clown" committing any crime besides dressing up as a clown.
Which, bizarrely, is now a crime in America.
Was that a Judy Clowney song?
"Clowns to the left of me....Jokers to the right...."
clown lives matter
Willard Scott played Bozo the Clown in the early 60s in DC. I was on his show once when they would take a kid out of the audience and interact with Bozo.
Uh, Judy Clown-ins, yes. XD
That’s right. I forgot Willard was a Bozo back in the day.
