Trump Fans Just Held The Mother Of All Rallies On Capitol Hill And Got Upstaged By ClownsBy Colin Taylor - September 16, 2017
Around 150 200 people showed up for a rally that was billed as a crowd of millions, drawing the usual assortment of racist idiots like rape apologist Gavin McInnes Proud Boys and the Three Percenter sovereign citizen militiamen.
The MOAR wasnt even the only rally in Washington D.C. today.
The MAGA chuds were overshadowed by the March of the Juggalos, the fans of the Insane Clown Posse hip-hop group known for their clown face-paint, their love for Faygo soda, and their hatred for fascists and Confederates.
The Juggalos are marching to protest their unfair designation as a gang by the FBI, which has made life very difficult for some prominent Juggalo fans, including making it harder for them to get jobs.
Warriors for civil rights in general, the unifying tenet of the Juggalo Family is tolerance for everybody, no matter their race, sexuality, class, or gender, all united in their love for the music of ICP. It is beyond outrageous that the FBI has labeled them a dangerous gang.

(3,569 posts)Making a Grateful Dead sticker probable cause for a search. No gang affiliation designation, but the intent was the same.
What happens here, is that any ICP memorabilia makes probable cause. My kids love them, have tattoos and they get jacked over them all the time. Even got put in the gang tank thing in jail.
What happened with the Deadheads is we started being stealthy with our stickers. No more detailed or skull and Roses, the obvious iconography. In came the dancing bears, the Wheels, the millions of other images cops don't know, but Deadheads do.
ICP fans face the same challenges, but I only know the one image, hatchet boy and girl, and probably would know any others, if there are some.
