The FBI is monitoring a growing gang with members across the country who dress in customary colors, assemble for rowdy annual meetings and control the trade of an obscure Midwestern soft drink. They are Juggalos.

In a report on emerging gang trends, federal investigators revealed that they have their eyes on the loyal fans of the horrorcore group Insane Clown Posse.

Known as Juggalos, the followers of the Detroit rap act are famous for their clownish make-up, annual "Gathering of the Juggalos" celebration and their love for the soda Faygo.

But Juggalo "subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence," the FBI alleges in a document first reported by Wired.

Isn't faygo just a generic version of popular sodas?

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Yeah, a few gangs are related to juggalos. I believe Chicago has one called the Juggalo Rydas. Couldn't be sure on that anymore

 

[JGlass]

Not only that, but they do commit crimes. Didn't they severely beat someone up who made fun of them once upon a time?

 

[Uncle Phatso]

People associated with juggalos have beaten up people, attacked people with hatchets, and just about anything you can come up with.

Fuck just a few days ago 3 people from their label got busted with like 100+ grams of weed.

Yeah

Cheap as shit too. I used to buy 3 liters at the dollar store when I was younger

 

[shattered dreams]

Many places also consider straight edge a gang.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Many places are full of idiots

 

[The Crock]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That's great.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I wonder if the government will try and shut wrestling down due to it's "associations" with Juggalos...

 

[Coco]

This is bullshit. How can Juggalos be considered a gang but not Al-Qaeda?

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Nate used to be a juggalo. He's a prime example of what can happen when you strip away the facepaint and chicken blood. Now, he's a fine American

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Me to?

 

[The Dewbliners]

This is bullshit. How can Juggalos be considered a gang but not Al-Qaeda?

Because they're considered a terrorist organization?

Also, I was a Juggalo, way back in the late 90's. Then, I got smart real quick, started listening to good music, drinking brand-name pop.

It seems like most people who call themselves juggalos are/were desperate to find a place to belong

 

[JWGunslinger]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That's great.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Me to?

Were/Are you a juggalo?

If you were a juggalo, yes, now you're a fine American.

Many places also consider straight edge a gang.

Areas where the hardcore music scene (often associated with straight edge bands/gangs) have the local law enforcement watching for gang activity. Here in Ventura there used to be a bunch. Most were jokes and never taken seriously but there have been 3 or 4 that were legit feared and people knew not to fuck with. They were just angry their bands sucked.

Couldn't that be said about most groups?

 

[Uncle Phatso]

For a while when I was a kid. Fuck my name is still after something juggalo. Phatso is the name of a Rapper on their labels album. But after a while I just got sick of the bs. Now it's business as usual

I'd edited this after with the addition of "Moreso than what might be construed as normal" as I figured some people would say that

guess it didn't save

I must have gotten in before your edit. I am very very sneaky sir.

 

[Coco]

Implication being that Juggalos are more worthy of that title that Al-Qaeda.

You know what? Fuck yourself.
