These kinds of pranks are dangerous for anyone involved.

A group, not a single one, carrying green laser pointers, who run at the appearance of a single adult? This incident seems to have been a bunch of delinquents on a prank. First thing I'd do is ask local vendors if anyone sells green laser pointers, and if so, had they sold many lately and to who. (I know, Amazon. But you have to cover the bases) Also, any groups of Insane Clown Posse fans at the local high school?

There is a history of abductions of African American children in Greenville, usually girls from about 10 - 13, on bicycles. It happens every few years. I've been following the story since the late 1970s. I suspect that is why the authorities took the report so seriously.SJ Reidheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009929983462161529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-31064926792207504582016-08-31T18:27:01.133-04:002016-08-31T18:27:01.133-04:00With multi media mentions, me thinks its an intent...With multi media mentions, me thinks its an intentional trigger.Syncrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134932589153108103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-688469790343380172016-08-31T12:45:28.365-04:002016-08-31T12:45:28.365-04:00And now the Los Angeles Times has gotten in on the...And now the Los Angeles Times has gotten in on the act:<br /><br />http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-south-carolina-clowns-20160830-snap-story.htmlTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450729308409378843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-59618524667566479102016-08-31T10:37:05.880-04:002016-08-31T10:37:05.880-04:00Loren,

JS was alcoholic and suffered from mental problems, got into fights etc. Charles Dickens was affected by the death of JS and wrote him in as a cameo in 'The Stroller's Tale', one of the instalments of 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club'. The character's name was 'Dismal Jemmy', 'enfeebled by dissipation and emaciated by disease'. In the book The Pantomime Life of Joseph Grimaldi, the author, Andrew Stott, writes"Dickens invented the scary clown, the menacing predator pushing pleasure beyond its tipping point and curdling into something more twisted and sinister. In this respect JS is with us even to this day'.<br /><br />cheersaferrismoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323962086698914361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409160.post-6167967434152622492016-08-30T20:40:41.496-04:002016-08-30T20:40:41.496-04:00Creepy cos-play for age-regressed adults.
