ICP Juggalos in Virginia- They May Be "Insane" But Are They a Gang?
Posted on Nov 17, 2011
Do you know who the Insane Clown Posse is? If not, you are not alone. Though the number of hardcore fans of the "clown-culture rap group" ICP, known as Juggalos, is on the rise, many wonder how threatening they can be.
Are Juggalos a Threat to Virginia Citizens?
While some don't see Juggalos as a threat, the FBI considers the extreme fan club to be a gang. The FBI, in a recent report, stated that some groups of Juggalos have been engaging in organized criminal activity. The FBI categorizes them as a "loosely-organized hybrid gang".
"Most crimes committed by the Juggalos are sporadic, disorganized, individualistic, and often involve simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty theft and vandalism," states the FBI report.
In Virginia, officials have not categorized the Juggalos as a gang. However, the Virginia Gang Investigators Association has been holding training sessions that are aimed at letting residents know that the group has been demonstrating "increased violence" in Virginia and across the nation.
While the staff and attorneys at the Norfolk criminal defense law firm of Tavss Fletcher do not condone violence or other criminal behaviors, we do hope that Virginia authorities continue to use their best judgment before categorizing any group of people.
