Also prevalent in the Alyssa Bustamente case as well as others. I can see why the FBI is concerned with the group and it's followers.
MOO
Totally agree. For those googling, there have been countless heinous crimes affiliated with this group.
FWIW - my take on the Juggalo thing in this case (and I don't want to start talking in circles from previous discussions or forums) is a bit different.
IMO - this isn't like the Alyssa Bustamante situation (so far at least), where I do think the ICP affiliation had a direct effect on what occured. I agree with everyone here that is arguing that MW's juggalette status does not a murderer/co-conspirator/supporting witness make. It's too much of a stretch without further evidence, IMO.
However, I do see someone deeply ingrained in that culture. Her facebook has her real name, and then Jugalette name in parenthesis. She not only looks and dresses, but appears to
live the part - residing in questionable housing with a bunch of other people, dating an older known criminal, etc.
IMO - a bit different than someone living in the suburbs with their parents, and adopting a bit of a "shock value" lifestyle during those rebellious teen/early 20's years. (For what its worth - been there, done that!
)
From that aspect, I DO think it's important - and a worthwhile discussion to have. I would never make the stretch that MW would be capable of something horrible because of her hair color or music taste... BUT living in a household where drugs were sold? Could be fairly likely. A household where stolen items are listed on craiglist? Perhaps. What else was going on in that house?? Because, IMO, this was more than a bunch of poor college kids sharing a home and pooling their tip money for rent.
She spent much of this year dating a drifter career criminal who looks like he could easily be nearly twice her age. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't think there is much that would faze her. Or, at least, it would take much more to faze her than your typical "rebellious" 22 year old.
Obviously just my opinion.
