Title: Insane Clown Posse Sues FBI After Being Labeled a Gang
Post by: jimmy olsen on September 26, 2012, 05:31:38 PM
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

By Chris Wade and Slate V Staff
Posted Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, at 5:39 PM ET

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.

I approve of the US government crackdown on Juggalos.  This is a good use of federal power. :)

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

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

Yeah, that's what I said years ago when he was asking about the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.  But did anyone listen?  Nooooooo.  People here back then felt sorry for the gimp.

Indeed.

Juggalos probably don't qualify as a criminal organization, but you can legitimately have that conversation.

Quite frankly, the FBI needs to label more bands as gangs.

And yes, there is more than a tangible link between ICP, organized crime and meth trafficking.

Har.
I had to look at the definition of Juggalettes.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=juggalo%2Fjuggalette
Quote1. A self applied label used by a large group of people with similar interests...used to describe their individuality, while fanboying over Insane Clown Posse. (Yes. It is about ICP because ICP invented the term and ICP fans are the only ones who fucking use it.) You think Rammstein fans call themselves the "The Kiss Army"?

6. Consist of a 9-1 ratio of angry, violent, desperate for attention kids suckered by a lowest common denominator gimmick to adults with immature and violent taste who also buy into said gimmick. All believe that the title they give themselves (and subsequent ICP love)is enough to consider a complete stranger "family".
