Sometimes after expressing my anger in an article I feel like relaxing a little bit and sometimes want to amuse myself. This little gem from the Twin Cities, Pioneer Press, concerns one 40 year old man who successfully repelled an attack on his mother’s home by shotgunning attacking clowns and their dog companions(apparent reinforcements to the clown insurgents). That is, if you believe his side of the story. The police version is that he shot up his mother’s home (22 shots) while under the effects of a hallucinogenic drug. After successfully bombarding an apparently inoffensive home with shotgun pellets, he faced a large number of police who surrounded the clown killing vigilante’s defensive position. The man the emerged on the porch shotgun in hand, extra ammunition in a bag around his neck, and failing to respond to police commands fell down and rendered himself unable to continue his valiant struggle against hallucinogenic odds. His saga ends in the local jail. His name has not been released.

(I am deeply, deeply impressed by the police force here. I am astonished under the circumstances that they didn’t fill him full of lead but acted with commendable restraint in a dangerous situation.)

More Killer Clowns! (If he would have killed imaginary mimes I would have been more sympathetic.)
