The Creepy Clown Issue

Over the past few weeks there has been an increased number of cases throughout the country of people seeing creepy clowns. Now some people may say any clown is creepy, but in this case people are dressing up as clowns and doing things like standing on the side of the road at night, walking through the woods in a clown outfit, or standing in one spot and starring at a building for hours on end. These cases are starting to scare many local residents even to the point of calling the police. One of the most disturbing cases so far I would have to say was a incident in South Carolina where a example of these creepy clowns actually tried to lure children in to the woods. I believe that this whole situation is getting out of hand primarily because I think some people are doing this as a jokend I have got to say not one is finding it funny.
