France clowns - On Saturday, 14 arrests have been made by French police authorities. These 14 arrests were done on teenagers dressed up as evil clowns who had completed their look with baseball bats, pistols and knives. Is Twisty the evil clown of "American Horror Story" to blame for this madness?
In the town of Agde, several calls were made about France clowns carrying knives and baseball bats. In addition to Adge, in the city of Montpellier a France clown had been arrested after he beat up an unknowing pedestrian with the use of an iron bar. Another incident was recorded in Montpellier where three motorcyclists called in about "scary clowns."
The phenomenon of the France clowns bordering on the evil and not funny side of the carnival character is not the least bit surprising. Blame "American Horror Story's" Twisty the clown for the hype over the radical change involving the colourful characters.
Since mid-October, a rumour inspired by videos published on the internet, is worrying the population about the presence of threatening and aggressive clowns in France," stated the French national police in a statement released early this week, adding, "Symptomatic of the impact of the Internet, this phenomenon can lead to damaging individual acts and disturbances to public order."
The France clowns are no laughing matter as they have been targeting not only adults but even children outside schools. In 2013 alone, France clown related incidents amount to 117. The incident of evil clowns terrorizing the public in France is also quite the hype in America. A number of arrests have also been made in America with regards to evil clowns. The trend is reportedly most evident in California.
Another France clown incident involves Bethune, a clown threatened passers-by and due to his actions was sentenced six months imprisonment. With Hollywood glamourizing Twisty the evil clown and a few other devilish clowns, France clowns and clowns from other countries are sure to abound - most specifically this coming Halloween.
