Two Clowns Shot Dead; Crowd Cheers

Finally! A Clown Act that I can really cheer for. No more throwing confetti from buckets. No more cramming clowns in a tiny compact car. No stupid red noses, balloon animals and floppy shoes.

Two clowns in a circus in Columbia were shot dead in front of a crowd of fifty circus-goers. Its about time that creepy clowns finally did something funny. From Reuters here:

BOGOTA (Reuters) – Two clowns were shot and killed by an unidentified gunman during their performance at a traveling circus in the eastern Colombian town of Cucuta, police said Wednesday.

The gunman burst into the Circo del Sol de Cali Monday night and shot the clowns in front of an audience of 20 to 50 people, local police chief Jose Humberto Henao told Reuters. One of the clowns was killed instantly and the second died the next day in hospital.

“The clowns came out to give their show and then this guy came out shooting them,” one audience member told local television. “It was terrible.”

I’m not afraid of clowns. Clowns are just bad people who are not funny. Go here for like-minded people.
