My neighbor pulled up in my driveway after school. His son, a foster kid who’d been kicked around the system for a bit before he and his brother found a good spot, peered out nervously from the passenger seat. I asked them what was up while waving the boys over in case the son was here to play. He wasn’t. His dad was there to let me know about the school threats. The clowns were coming and they had a hit list of people to kill in the ‘copa.
This has to be the worst prank ever. It has spread across the country and developed into nationally covered news. Clowns are coming to kill us all. This article in the Guardian does an excellent job of explaining the clown epidemic and chronicling it back to the very first story. It all started with a sighting by a little boy. Whether or not he actually saw was he believes is debatable, but he clearly touched the hearts of many in some way. Often that response was for a prankster to further the mythos, leading to many schools including the one my boys attend, getting locked down from a clown scare.
Too far too fast. The power of social media is really beyond question at this point. They can make lowns come to life and scare you near death.
Some Thoughts:
- I was right about the Cardinals.
- Mindfulness is a very important and useful way to really check in on yourself and where you are at with everything.
