Do You Fear Clowns

Lon Chaney, Sr. said, "There's nothing laughable about a clown in the moonlight."  Well, that doesn't explain why there's been a surge in creepy clowns scaring people. The huge spike in reports of people dressed as clowns has this area's police getting calls of clowns walking out of the woods or being sighted along the highways. It's not illegal to dress up as a clown in public. But if this is supposed to scare people, when does it cross the line and become a crime?

Since August, people in upstate New York, South Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Georgia have reported scary or suspicious incidents involving people dressed as clowns. Two suburban school districts on Long Island recently beefed up security after alerting police of clown reports.

Is this the new replacement for Pokemon Go? You know what they say, entertain a clown and you become apart of the circus.
