    Default Why did the FBI classify Juggalos as Criminal Gang?

    Have they really come to that much attention that the FBI is considering them a threat to national security?

    I have to imagine it's a correlation/causation fallacy. In certain areas, a large proportion of meth and oxy dealers are juggalos, and the incorrect leap is made to "juggalos are an organized group whose activities involve drug dealing."

    Without looking up juggalos are they the people who dress as clowns? I don't think we have them here.

    They're fans of Insane Clown Posse and similar groups, who do dress as clowns, but juggalos just generally wear ICP merchandise with the trademark hatchetman silhouette logo. I think they are pretty much a uniquely American phenomenon.

    Um... cite that the FBI has in fact made such a classification?

    And New Mexico seems to be a target of sorts, with the report noting that the gangs are attracted to the area's Native American tribal and cultural traditions.
    ...what?
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    Have you seen chavs in Burberry?

    After Googling, I think that's pretty similar. I'm sorry.
