I'm still trying to figure out what kind of person would find terrifying small kids or trying to lure kids into the woods while dressed as a clown amusing. It's a bit naive to think you could do that then just throw up your hands and say "just joking" then realistically complain about some parent beating your clown costume clad ass up and down the interstate. I'm not saying this kind of idiot should be smoked or anything but there are pranks, then there's assault with intent to do bodily harm, or attempted kidnapping which I doubt any parent will find funny if put in that situation. Overall, it just sounds like a good way to get your arse beat by some parent who doesn't find your idea of a prank amusing. Egging cars while dressed a clown, annoying but maybe amusing. Smashing pumpkins while dressed up as a clown, a bit childish but again, I could see how that would be amusing.....Coming out of the woods and trying to talk to kids while dressed as a clown or chasing kids around while armed with a knife???? Saw an arrest for that earlier on the news..two women jumping out of a vehicle dressed as clowns and chasing kids around with a knife? Where's that get funny? Both idiots were arrested. Somewhere up north, Michigan I think.
About five years ago I had some moron come running out of a garage with a live chainsaw while I was taking my son trick or treating at the front door of a residence. I guess my reaction wasn't the one he wanted, although my son, about seven years old at the time about had a heart attack. He shut it off and apologized...lol. I guess it all depends your definition of what's funny.
