Insane Clown Posse fight against the FBI

Insane Clown Posse

Insane Clown Posse just can't get any love from the FBI.


In the newest development from Insane Clown Posse's protracted legal battle over the FBI labeling their fans "Juggalos" as a gang, the horrorcore duo has lost their latest appeal to overturn the criminal designation.



As reported by The Washington Post, the FBI's Juggalo gang label "could be here to stay." The paper notes that the 6th U.S. Circuit Court Of Appeals, in a strange statement of legalese, ruled that the FBI's move to call Juggalos a gang wasn't a "final agency action" and, therefore, can't be challenged in court. Um, what? This new ruling nixes a 2014 lawsuit brought by Insane Clown Posse that claimed the FBI's decision violated their constitutional rights and caused Insane Clown Posse concert cancellations due to concerns from law enforcement.

All of this stems from the FBI's National Gang Intelligence Center listing the Juggalos as "a loosely organized hybrid gang" in a 2011 threat assessment profile, a definition that's been haunting the band ever since. Insane Clown Posse says the FBI's labeling of Juggalos as a gang has caused their supporters an unnecessary and extreme amount of trouble. According to the group, fans of Insane Clown Posse have lost their children in custody battles, been denied admittance for military service and lost jobs for merely being a Juggalo.

Earlier this year, Insane Clown Posse brought national attention to the matter with the Juggalo March On Washington, an event that organized Juggalos in a protest on the National Mall in Washington DC, to voice their opposition to the FBI labeling them a gang for simply identifying with the group and their music.

In September, Insane Clown Posse's Shaggy 2 Dope spoke to us ahead of the group's march on Washington, admitting the unlikelihood of the FBI overturning the gang designation while standing firm against the classification.

"It'd be great, but the chances of that happening are slim to none," Shaggy said. "This is just us standing up, the Juggalos standing up and being, like, 'Yo, f*** you, too. We're in this b***h and we ain't a f***ing gang.'"

First Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse in over 150 years

Image
Stargazers all over the world are getting ready for the first super blue blood moon eclipse in more than 150 years and many are traveling to find the best locations to see it. This rare celestial phenomenon is occurring because a blue moon, a total lunar eclipse and a supermoon are all taking place at the same time. A blue moon is when two full moons happen in the same calendar month; lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into earth’s shadow, and supermoons happen when the moon’s perigee (its closest approach to earth in a single orbit) coincides with a full moon. The super blue blood moon phenomenon hasn’t happened since 1866, and it is occurring because a total lunar eclipse is combining with a blue moon, which is in its closest position to earth, making it a supermoon. Blue moons only happen every two and a half years on average. The moon will take on a red glow as the supermoon happens to be occurring on the day of the lunar eclipse. “The moon will lose its brig
