WASHINGTON -- Detroit-based rap group, Insane Clown Posse is proceeding with plans for a peaceful march and protest in Washington D.C. this September.

The group is asking their fans -- known as Juggalos -- to join them for the march as the group continues to fight the FBI and the Department of Justice over a 2011 Gang Task Force that listed Juggalos as a "loosely-organized hybrid gang

"As many of you are no doubt personally aware, the FBI's inclusion of Juggalos as a 'gang' has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of people subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment, and profiling simply for identifying as a Juggalo," reads a passage on the march's website.

ICP announced plans for the march last July and has been involved in a lawsuit with the FBI and DOJ over the classification for several years. However, the government has yet to declassify the group.

1. ROFLMAO - I guess they could reclassify them as stupid idiots to be wary of?

LOL

[HoneyBadger]

2. They do not deal drugs, they do not shoot people

This is very unfair

4. Agreed

People like to joke about this but it's really not a joke at all.

3. Just what we need

More Clowns in DC. Isn't the Trump Cabinet enough???

5. They did the same thing to Deadheads in the

early ninetiesieties. Even passed a law that made a Grateful Dead sticker on a car, probable cause. That was when we started seeing the less obvious iconography popping up,. The cops didn't know but heads still did.

One of my kids is a juggalo. His ICP tat gets him gang treatment when dealing with the police. Much harsher.

6. LOL!

7. A peaceful march by running little hatchet people?

Which is it?

8. They should be careful

Donald Trump would be happy to reclassify them as a domestic terrorist group. Which could make shit entertaining on Intake Day at Gitmo...

"My name is Ali. Yours?"
'John. If you don't mind, what did you do?'
"I blew up an American army checkpoint in Afghanistan with a command detonated mine and killed 25 American advisors. And you?"
'I bought a CD of two guys who sing while wearing clown makeup, and Donald Trump didn't like it.'

10. They have some great timing.

This will be a convenient opportunity for the new bosses to fill up the for profit prisons in a hurry.

11. IF a group of Juggalos try to restrain you

are you being grabbed by the posse?
