EAG: Philly school district alerts ‘Homeland Security’ over clown threats.
PHILADELPHIA – School officials are bringing in the big guns to address recent online threats from creepy clowns.
On Sunday, The School District of Philadelphia responded to recent reported threats to specific schools by creepy clowns on Instagram by calling in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to investigate, WPVI reports.
“The School District of Philadelphia’s Office of School Safety alerted both the Philadelphia Police Department and the Office of Homeland Security Saturday upon learning of these disturbing social media posts. The safety of our children and the communities surrounding our schools is a top priority for us and we are taking this matter seriously,” according to a joint statement by Philadelphia police and school officials.

And then there’s this:
READING, Ohio – Creepy clowns continue to close down schools across the country.
Hours after Colerain Township police in Ohio arrested a junior high student for making clown-related threats online, a woman reported that a creepy clown grabbed her by her throat on her porch and threatened local students, WCPO reports.
The woman, who had recently undergone neck surgery, told police she was smoking on her porch around 4 a.m. Friday when a man dressed in a striped get-up with a red wig and white clown nose grabbed her by the throat and delivered a message.
The clown allegedly told the woman “I should just kill you now” and that “students and teachers (will) wish they were never born at the junior and high school today,” according to the news site . MORE
Homeland Security notified the FBI. The FBI gathered up all the Mimes to get additional information on the Clowns.
The Mimes wouldn’t talk.
It’s either them or Furries. So what’s your pick?
I think the biggest concern is that anyone is relying on homeland security in the first place.
However, in this case, it may be quite appropriate.
Unsettling. You’d think the shoe-prints would lead right back to their clown lairs. But somehow, they elude the Department of Funland Security every time.
What a bunch of Bozos.
Be on the lookout for a 1976 VW bug with 27 occupants.
Uuuugh a guy can put on a dress and follow a little girl into a public restroom and we’re not allowed to. Judge him. Put on a little bit of face paint and a red wig and everybody freaks out. Calling homeland security and the FBI
I hate clowns.
Don’t make me wipe that smile off your face!
The most dangerous coven of clowns is reported to be holed up in an old mansion on Pennsylvania Av in Washington, DC.
Don’t you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want…
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don’t bother, they’re here.
illary Clinton may become the leader of the United States & the media is trying to make us fearful of clowns? ….. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????? illary & her ilk scare me a WHOLE lot more
(apologies for the harsh language … but this shit is FUCKING SERIOUS!!!)
What is it about clowns? About 15 years ago, at a software company I worked at, us artists would gather round the computer and laugh at 3 websites. One was Homestar Runner, the other one was a 40+ year old guy who dressed up as Peter Pan and the last one…3D illustrations of Creepy Clown. Dark basic 3D renderings of poolside, front doors, barns and in the corner somewhere cloaked in darkness…Kreepy Clown.
Maybe these jokers found that site archived on AOL or MySpace. Losers.
Illutr8r, John Wayne Gacy ruined it for clowns.
@Thirdtwin,
I think it started there too! Clowns use to be funny.
Now theyare depicted as scary, or as Cato notes, drunks like Shakes the Clown who beat up mimes (the movie was about addiction).
What will all the Liberals do? Where can they go? Oh, the inhumanity!
