The FBI has included fans of hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse, or Juggalos as they’re known, in its latest National Gang Threat Assessment report.
Referring to them as a street gang, the report says: “The Juggalos, a loosely-organised hybrid gang, are rapidly expanding into many US communities. Although recognised as a gang in only four states, many Juggalo subsets exhibit gang-like behaviour and engage in criminal activity and violence – law enforcement officials in at least 21 states have identified criminal Juggalo subsets”.
It also notes that branches of Juggalos can be found in the US Army and Air Force. Although, if you dug around enough, I’m sure you could say all of this about Smiths fans too.
Should you have any fears about how sinister Juggalos might be, watch this short documentary made by director Sean Dunne at this year’s Gathering Of The Juggalos festival:
