Hoping this one is an urban myth.

It makes you wonder if people are posting pictures on social media of their friends dressed as clowns on the side of the road just to further perpetuate this...
Criminal clowns? That's sad because I love clowns.
Professional clowns say their craft shouldn't be confused with the sightings of creepy clowns across North America over the past several weeks.
Stacey Laureyssens, interim president of the 150-member Clowns Canada, says the distinction between the fear-sowing tricksters and the real thing should be clear.
"People dressing up like clowns to scare people is just the same as dressing like scarecrows, zombies or vampires to scare people,'' said Laureyssens (a.k.a. Empress Cherry Sunday), who is in Montreal this week for a clown festival.
"What these people are doing is acting like monsters in clown costumes to prank people. They are not clowns.''
Reports of clowns haunting more than ten states have people on edge. And, the reports keep coming.
Yesterday, someone reported seeing a car full of clowns, possibly armed, driving through a Pennsylvania college campus.
So, is the creepy clown epidemic serious or just a sick joke? Police are investigating a host of reports from South Carolina to Georgia, but haven't arrested any clown criminals — yet.
Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer took to his personal Facebook page to post a message to potential clown suspects. His message said in part, “For you that think it’s funny to dress up as a clown, scare drivers on dark roadways … as of today we have issued 6,125 CCW permits in Darke County alone … you might also ask yourself how your luck will be today.”
I like how this guy thinks.
There has to be an element of menacing to these cases and maybe even stalking wouldn't ya think? If they could just catch them.
...which leads us to our next problem: How do we tell the good clowns from the bad clowns on Halloween? What if the clowns use this holiday as camouflage to blend in and wreck havoc upon unsuspecting trick or treaters?Because of this B.S., clown costumes are flying off the shelves at the Halloween stores. We know there are going to be some total A-holes out on beggars night messing around with kids and people. This has me so worried. I will be taking my 5 and 6 year old daughters about town.If I feel threatened I promise it will be raining pepper spray on someone. I hope people in their communities who have nothing to do on this night will patrol and protect and stand guard watching out for our most vulnerable and helpless citizens. Mom and dad can't always be right there but it doesn't take much either to keep watch on your own block. IMO.
