clown crazy

In current news there has been a clown craze throughout the States, many clown sitings have been noticed from cities to college campuses all the way to rural areas. Starting merely a month before Halloween is this just a scare tactic or is this a real problem that needs solving. Many have expressed complaints of being "lured" by clowns to wooded areas or being chased by the hidden faces. The clowns showing in many different areas of the country are a snowball effect, people are going to do whatever they can to scare those around them now that they know attention has formed. This is also a huge viral marketing, more videos of clown sightings are being watched daily thus causing views and social media crazies feed to sky rocket. 2014 Slenderman killed someone and the defense was that he was involved in a "Augmented reality game" this creates a theory that someone could mentally be in a video game while luring around your town dressed as a clown. There are many theories as to why clowns are creating a craze but I advise that it's no longer a joke. Whether it is a snow ball effect or an ARG, clowns cause people to have fears and anxiety and this needs to stop. Why should you trust that your children will be safe on Halloween or that nothing extremely bad will come from this. It will come to end once someone is severely hurt by one of these menacing clowns.
