In the US, KKK masks have been banned and other nations have past laws banning masks at political events.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_lawsSyncrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134932589153108103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-39377980071630586162016-10-21T09:41:42.631-04:002016-10-21T09:41:42.631-04:00And now, anti-clown legislation.

I asked her for her permission to share her story with you, since you research them.<br /><br />Maureen Martin of Millersville, Maryland (suburban Baltimore) had a clown sighting on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, between 4 and 6 pm.<br /><br />She was driving and saw a clown stopped at a red light at the intersection of Elvaton Road with Oakwood Road. The clown was in the driver's seat of a 'white box truck'. Quote: This guy creeped me out and my first thought was-he probably has bodies in the back! Scary!!!<br /><br />This intersection is kind of diagonally across the street from Southgate/Old Mill Park. It's a standard park with fields and trees.<br /><br />I did notice how her name and the location had the extensive M alliteration. I also noticed how two of the reports you've mentioned in the last few weeks had streets with Oak in their names. And I most especially noticed the white box truck connection, hearkening back to the earliest sightings. And nearby is a street called Nathan Way....and my nephew's name is Nathan.<br /><br />Gordon LongPDXWizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884427889989897626noreply@blogger.com
