Man dressed as clown shot; condition critical.

Fort Wayne Police Department spokesperson Michael Joyner said a white colored suv pulled up alongside of the clown. A man was driving. Joyner said the man got out of the car and fired several shots. The man then got back in the suv and headed north on Plaza.

“This isn’t the first shooting that’s happened on this street,” neighbor Joe Wright said. “They happen often down the street.”

Joyner said he doesn’t know why people are dressing as clowns, but he said he suspects fear is a factor across the city.

“I just think it’s crazy. People better take those clown mask off… before the coroner does,” Wright said.

Better outlaw motorcycle helmets too. It’s the rage in crime zones like Sao Paulo.

My advise: don’t dress like a creepy clown.

Excuse me! Don't dress like a clown at all! All clowns are creepy and deserve whatever they get!

That we are getting dumber and dumber. As Chesterton said, “ people who don’t believe in God will believe anything.”

Really? Cite one.

Google it yourself. On the news today they said there were seven attacks across the country some with machetes.

In Indiana you are told not to smile for your driver’s license picture.

Next time please spell it out. You typed "we are DEVO."

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! is the debut studio album by the American new wave band Devo. It was originally released in August 1978, on the labels Warner Bros., and Virgin.

I thought, why do youthink this article has anything to do with that old 1980's singing group?

Not a cop? Who would a Police Department spokesperson work for? The water department?

Not everybody who works for a police department is a sworn officer with arrest powers. There are lots of civilian employees, at all levels.

The quote about “I just think it’s crazy. People better take those clown mask off… before the coroner does,” is from the neighbor (Wright) not the police spokesman (Joyner)

New version coming out soon.

Could be some sort of viral marketing scheme.

I suggest YOU take your badge off because you are a moron justifying a senseless attempted murder!

Au contraire - the clown movement has overstepped with threats of death and violence. A number have been arrested and a few have been hurt/killed from their own stupidity.

Your argument would be just as effective if you said that folks who wear what looks like bomb vests shouldn't be molested. I know - bit of difference in leagues but the concept is the same.
