I know a lot of people who claim to hate clowns, but I didn't think any one of them was serious until this. I mean, what's to hate/despise/fear? It's just a goofy guy in goofy suit wearing goofy make-up.

Question: Would this qualify as a hate crime in the States?

Conjecture: This could be a hit perpetrated by another traveling circus. If that's the case, this could be the prophesied Great Clown War that heralds the END TIMES.

No. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Eh, that wasn't a serious question. Nevertheless, I'm sure this is a sign of the dawn of the Apocolypse.

Jesus why would anyone kill a clown? what's the use of killing a clown?

The clowns were rival cocaine traffickers, only explanation to it...

Very sad yet equally funny.

I bet clowns is one of the only occupations in which people would actually take a sick pleasure in witnessing their deaths.

I think you could be right, ever time I think about the article I just laugh i can't help it.

Maybe they were just really, really bad clowns...

**RZZZA** · February 21, 2007, 11:30 PM

Hahaha...even in their death, they manage to make us smile.

**Da Skinna** · February 21, 2007, 11:32 PM

I'm sure their families appreciate this piece of knowledge...

Way to be a kill joy...

I think the rival cocaine dealer theory could hold some merit, they have the balloons afterall. Damn dirty drug peddling clowns...

Those are my exact thoughts on this matter, I hate to admit it, but I'm sure a lot of people would find it sad, and to a lesser degree, funny.

Of course, this is sad, why would someone kill clowns? Because they don't like clowns? I think clowns are kind of scary, but not enough to kill one, thats for sure...

Why do people kill anyone...it was bad enough this made it to the press and then here.

What is the ethical question here? Common forum is where this should be!

But!!!!

I think clowns are unethical and all should be shot for their crimes.

Now everything is all good!

My apologies...this was not for laughs, more for "Why?"

Why would anyone want to kill a clown? For some reason it just seems more wrong than usual.

If this needs to be moved please move it, though I think it's dead...
