Alright, You'd think you would have seen everything. but Now.. this is just down right silly...

That's right the title says it all it Appears that a few of our local Check Cashing stores here in Tucson are beiing robbed by robbers... Dressed as Clowns...

You know it's getting bad when you have a couple of guys walk into a Check cashing Store dressed in clown suits, wearing Clown makeup, and even having gloved hands like clowns, and they pull out guns on the clerks behind the windows and demand money.

In fact in town here it's getting so bad that even Convience stores are talking about these Clowns..

In fact Tonight when My roommate got out of the Car to get something from a convience store, I asked him for the phone. He asked me why, I said.. "Well if a couple of Clowns walk in, I'm calling 911... He thought about it for a moment, then handed me the phone. After he came out, he told me that three other people (2 of them clerks at the front counter) were talking about.. You guessed it.. The Clowns...

But seriously when you have clowns robbing stores.. you know it's normal and yet the world has flipped on you..

but your thoughts? I mean what would you do if you saw clowns robbing your favorite grocery store, or bank, or even a check cashing store? After all they are clowns. (Also this story has made it to CNN.com so it's now national.)

(And yes I'll allow humor here.. after all .. these losers are indeed clowns for being so brazen!)

True but can you imiagine walking into any convience store or check cashing place or even a bank and you suddenly have two unknown perpitraitors walking in behind you looking like Clarabelle and Bozo and they whip out a pair of 45's Fully loaded and safeties off, demanding the clerk or the store owner or the bank tellersw to hand over the cash? To quote one of the newscasters on CNN. "That's not Funny at all."

Also in one of the two robberies, these 'jokers' held a pregnant Check cashing clerk at gunpoint till they got the money...


Sure there were no coyotes involved. but then here's the seriousness of the crime.. Holding a pregnant person at gunpoint? Imagine if this was your mother, or your girlfriend, or even your wife (If you have a wife, or girlfriend, or even a sibling), being threatened? how would you feel then? I bet that would really wipe that smug look off your face... and say, 'Dang' this is serious!'

Now I'm not being sarcastic here.. Just Observant..after all I've seen weirder and dumber things happen in criminal activity.. but using clowns to hurt some folks? That's really not funny at all.

I don't think the connection should be made that because they were wearing clown makeup, they were "clowns". I'm sure it's a bad attempt to wear a disguise that wouldn't imediately be questioned. Rather clever, though impractical. (and yes I've thought about this) The best disguise is quickly used and discarded, hooded sweatshirt, darkglasses and something to pull up from around the neck. Why go to so much trouble? Crossdresser are equally disguised as clowns, that's why you can be arrested for any attempt to disguise your identity.
