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.'"

The Turmoil of being a Teenager

Image
The teenage years is a time of stress conflict and inner turmoil. A time of searching exploring "Who am I?" What am I meant to become and who will help me unravel all the developmental traumas along the way? There are two main forces of adolescence the onset of sexuality and the mandate that teenagers will move away from their parents gradually and from being an infant to childhood and on to adolescence and move further away from their parents. Developmentally the pathways during adolescence are pretty similar for both genders. It's also psychologically normal for teenagers to go through a pathway of unexplainable and often unpredictable social behaviours leaving parents confused and anxious. This leads to parental misperceptions and gross misunderstandings as their beloved children begin to explore their personal and group identities. We know from adolescent research findings that innocuous events such as a mum or dad going into a teenagers room when they are listening t...
