Back at it again with the Clowns

Although the news has laid off of the clown movement, it is still occurring. It began in the south a few months again, but the northern states just began to pick it up.

As a freshman at High Point, I have a suite. One of the girls in my suite is from New Hampshire, which is only one state up from mine. We both went home for the very needed fall break. But when she came back, she had a story that topped me laying in bed all week.

She's from a small rural town so it isn't uncommon for people to have a lot of guns. Her brother's friend lives on a lot of land and has a lot of guns. One day, the friend's father was driving in his pickup truck down their mile long driveway. Luckily, he had a gun on him. He noticed something in the woods on his property and stopped to look. When he got out of the truck, a clown popped out behind a tree and asked him if he wanted to play game. The father said yes, but secretly had a gun on him. So the clown started moving toward him and the man shot at his feet in hopes that he'd run away, but he didn't. So the man called the cops. While waiting for the cops, the man tackled the clown and took off his mask to reveal a thirty-five year old man. This man who played clown cried and said that he was just participating in the movement.

However, is this movement legal? Sure you can dress as a clown. But I don't think you can be a clown on private property of another person. I also don't think it is legal to try to beat up and hurt other people for a "game". Clowns need to have a law lesson.
