Insane Clown Posse Lawsuit Dismissed

2014-07-09 by TheGreatQ | 87 Comments
After a 2011 report by the FBI that named Juggalos (ICP fans) a "loosely organized hybrid gang," Insane Clown
Posse filed a lawsuit against the government to prevent them from calling their fans and associated acts a
criminal organization. Today, the lawsuit was thrown out by a judge, who declared that the government has
every right to declare them a gang. Additionally, part of the lawsuit said that the report caused police to
harass Juggalos wearing ICP merchandise. The judge said this was invalid, as the report only described them
as a gang, and did not call for any specific actions to be taken against them. The ACLU has promised to try to
overturn this decision.

lol probably. Still, labelling music fans as a gang is pretty stupid, even if said band is ICP. There can't be that many of them anyway right?

Anyone that is looking at this and saying, "lol good. ICP fucking suck" are missing the fucking point. They're also making it easier for the FBI to continue to do this. Of course they'll go after the easier targets first.

Verm, by the way you speak it is hard to imagine you getting out of nursery/kindergarten let alone holding a degree.

ICP are terrible and their fans are definnitely questionable but persecuting people for their taste in music is terrible, like high school extended to a federal scale.

They gather in large groups wearing clothing meant to distinguish themselves as part of said group. They have committed various crimes including, but not limited to: selling drugs, using drugs, rape, robbery, assault, underage drinking, statutory rape, and destruction of property while identifying themselves as members of the group. Tell me how this does not give the FBI reason to identify them as a gang. On a side note, the ACLU really will step up for ANYBODY.

I could explain you how they work but uncultured and non educated twats like futures and the juggalos
will not be able to understand the complexity of the physics related to magnetism. Danielito could
explain to you cuz he is a physics major but he is so grumpy and I doubt that he will have the
patience, lolololololololol

What people here fail to realize is that there actually IS a gang called the Juggalos. They're known for committing brutally violent attacks including murders and one of their hallmarks is using knives, axes, and other bladed weapons. They wear ICP merchandise, some paint their faces, and they have even been known to attack non-members who do the same without gang membership, as they consider these fans to be fake and weaker than they are.

It's a civil ruling so the burden of proof is only based on a balance of probabilities. You don't need reasonable doubt to decide a certain way, just a stronger argument from one side compared to the other.

Just because you listen to their music, doesn't make you part of a gang. They identified "Juggalos" as a gang because fans wearing their merchandise were doing crazy shit as a large group. They have every right to identify them as a gang.

Don't be offended if you listen to their music and call yourself a "Juggalo". They don't mean you. They may question you, but if you're not doing stupid shit with a gang, you're safe.

Quit flippin' over retarded things that barely affect you. You should really question how you can stand listening to music from such a talentless group of "tough guys". The idea of this band kills my faith in people let alone how their fans think they're so cool being identified as "Juggalos".

For the second goddamned time I would to call attention to the known fact that there IS a street gang called the "Juggalos" whose
signatures include hideously violent murders committed with edged weapons. Most ICP fans would sooner end up their victims
than join their ranks, but nonetheless they do exist.

There is absolutely nothing totalitarian or "police state" about the FBI's concerns here.

I mean, there are gangs of juggalos that are a legitimate concern, but there are also gangs of black people that are legitimate concerns, and you don't see FBI reports calling black people loosely organized hybrid games. I understand this is a much larger scale, but if kids going through a phase are being harassed by police over it, something's wrong.

honestly i can see both sides of the argument upon reading, (as the juggalos have split into 2 groups: the gang associated members and the strictly music enjoying fans).


however i still believe the US to be a police state and if you disagree with that then i think it's you who's the "idiot"

many many things. the power that police have over citizens. the fact that many cops are overly aggressive and pay little to no consequences for it.

the continuous CISPA rehashes. the whole edward snowden thing.

there are countless reasons why, do i have to say them all? saddens me that so many americans dont know their own nation's issues.
