What the hell is Faygo? Also, how can you name a whole fanbase of a band a gang? There are plenty of rappers with connections to gangs, nobody labels all their fans part of a gang.

QuoteInsane Clown Posse Sues FBI After Being Labeled a Gang

Apparently the FBI's signs you're in a "gang" include drinking unsafe quantities of Faygo and dressing like an idiot going to the circus, because the bureau classified fans of the horror-core rap duo Insane Clown Posse a gang in 2011. Now, the insane clowns themselves, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, have filed a suit for "failure to produce any documentary evidence in support of the FBI's classification of the group's fan base" after the FBI failed to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request the Posse's legal team filed.

The group's fans, a passionate group identified as "Juggalos," have been more and more visible the last few years, mostly because of the increasingly elaborate and ridiculous annual Gathering of the Juggalos music festival organized by ICP. This gothic-clown-centric affair, recently profiled by the likes of Buzzfeed and the AV Club's Nathan Rabin, seems mostly harmless, other than a violent outburst at famous hot girl and sometime-musician Tila Tequila's performance in 2011.

Mr. 2 Dope explained the groups' intentions last month, saying, "You're trying to grow love in your country and shit, then the head of your country—the FBI—just turns around and fucking kicks you in the nuts." Again, the ICP shows itself to be a primarily educational outfit, not only explaining miracles like science and magnets and whatnot, but also showing its fans that if the FBI kicks nuts, the proper response is measured legal action.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I approve of the US government crackdown on Juggalos.  This is a good use of federal power. :)
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Now, nobody tell Timmy what Faygo is. Make him do his own research.

He won't learn if you do the work for him.

As long as no one is cracking down on juggs. Otherwise Obama might lose the Caliga vote.

I've never know an attractive Juggalo.  I know better then to click a link depicting them in a state of undress.
