Killer Klowns From El Salvador
By Wyatt Earp | June 13, 2010
So get this. A group of Salvadoran clowns took to the streets to protest the murder of a man by “impostor clowns.” And believe it or not, the victim was not fatally crushed in a clown car.
Clown protests. And you folks think Mexico is bad:
More than 100 clowns have taken to the streets in El Salvador to protest against the murder of a bus passenger killed by two “impostor clowns”. The professional jesters, who perform on the country’s bus routes, marched down San Salvador’s main street chanting “real clowns are not criminals”.
The protest follows the shooting of a bus passenger on Monday by the impostors after he refused to give them money. The man was shot five times in the face and stomach then other passengers on the bus were robbed. Police are yet to make any arrests.
The protesters, dressed in oversized bow ties, tiny hats and colourful make-up, said they were aiming to entertain and educate passers-by during their march.
The local clown union – yeah, that’s right – has a solution to this nonsense. They plan to issue IDs to “real” clowns.

Anyway we can get the U.S. Clown Union to protest outside the White House, Congress and the Senate? Couldn’t tell them apart without I.Ds

Just too many possibilities to comment on. Any similarities to any pols would be an insult to the clowns.

LDIV – Yeah, I respect clowns. Pols? Not so much.
