All I can say to that is LOL, and as to your earlier post, here is yet another anecdote from someone who has ACTUALLY dealt with these people. Back in 05, I was a part of the DIY punk scene here in Ohio, and one night, we organized a local show that showed promise to be one of the biggest and most successful concerts in a long time. Lo and behold, Twiztid and a bunch of other ICP bands had the venue across the street that night, and we could not help but be quite worried (ICP fans are notorious for disrupting the concerts of other bands). After our opening act, about 200 or so people went outside for fresh air and cigarettes, only to be bombarded by faygo 3 liters being launched out of some sort of catapult by the clowns across the way, in addition to bits of trash, cans, and even glass bottles. It didn't take long for the punks to organize, and about 300 or so scene kids invaded the juggalo concert, and proceeded to shut down the 500 person event with overwhelming force. Sure, a fair number of people were arrested on both sides, and retaliation in this case may not have been the smartest idea, but the point is that these people are not content to live and let be, they make it their job to disrupt the lives of everyone around them.
