The thing is, though, that how are passersby supposed to know whether one of these clowns is just intending to scare people a little bit for laughs and run off or to actually stab them? I mean, given that there have actually been injuries from these things, people are going to assume the worst now whenever they see one.
Anyone considering dressing up as one just for "fun" or to scare people should really reconsider because I don't think it's going to be taken lightly at this point.
I live in a pretty safe area and I've never felt that frightened when biking late after class or work but one was recently spotted nearby. In an elevator, apparently. Kind of a strange thing to happen around here, but... you never know, I guess.


. Think the police here have been made aware. Just hope nobody does anything stupid.






Good luck.
