A teenager was stabbed in the shoulder by someone wearing a clown mask in Sweden. The attacker has not been apprehended. The article warns strongly against dressing up as a clown for any reason currently, as people are fearful and suspicious of clowns due to recent creepy clown sightings. It argues the clown craze is a dangerous trend that could provoke attacks from scared people or allow some to harm others under the guise of a clown costume. While relatively few clown sightings have occurred in the UK compared to the US, people are advised not to dress as clowns and to stay away or call for help if encountering one.

CLOWN KNIFING
Killer clown stabs teenager in the middle of the
street as creepy craze takes a sinister turn
First thing’s first…PLEASE DO NOT DRESS UP AS A CLOWN FOR A JOKE, EVEN FOR
HALLOWEEN! Although the story says that the clown was the dangerous one in this situation,
there are many other stories of the clowns being the ones brutalized because people are scared
and defending themselves. Never mind the work for a moment, just head the warning. Don’t do
it. It’s very likely you will be arrested or worse attacked because people think you’re up to
something sinister. Hell, if a clown came at me today, there’s no doubt I would’ve fought back
with the intent to seriously injure or kill in self-defence. So please, don’t be stupid and dress
like a clown.
Getting to the work. The story is from the Sun. It’s about an attack in Sweden where a teenager
was smoking in the middle of the street, it doesn’t include what time, and someone in a clown
mask stabbed the teenager in his shoulder. Luckily the teenager will make a full recovery. The
‘killer clown’ in this case, has not been found and police are still looking in the town of the
assault. I haven’t written about these clown incidents yet because I honestly thought it would
blow over and everybody has already had their say in the matter, so I wanted to stay original.
But because it’s still here, I have to say; this is the stupidest trend our generation has made up
to date. Most of the clowns on the streets are just doing it to scare people and pull pranks but
because a lot of them also have real sinister intentions, people are scared and are lashing out.
People need to stop dressing as clowns, especially people who have no intent to do anything
bad because it’s like wearing a sign around your neck saying, “I’m looking to hurt someone.”
Of course people are going to be wary of you. And you can’t really blame people for attacking
clowns, they’re scared and if you wear a clown mask right now, then you deserve what’s
coming to you.
Compared to the US, we haven’t had many clown sightings. Only 4 in London so far, at least
one’s that have been documented and revealed. But that doesn’t mean that it’s safe yet. So in
conclusion, don’t dress up like a clown and if you see one, stay calm and call the authorities but
if they start coming towards you……run.
And I’m not including any pictures this week because Jamelia has had enough.
