One Bad-Ass Clown

  • An off-duty Chicago police officer dressed up as a clown for a South Side fundraiser shot and killed a teen who held him at gunpoint tonight after the event, authorities said, citing preliminary information.

    The officer, who is assigned to the Near North police district, was in his clown outfit for a fundraiser for a day-care business, attended by about 50 children near West 87th Street and South Damen Avenue.

    At 10:10 p.m. after the event ended, the officer went to his car and a teen approached him, asking him for money, authorities said. When the officer said he had no money, the teen pulled a gun on him, authorities said.

    During a struggle with the teen, the officer grabbed hold of the gun, opened fire and killed him.
Who's laughing now!!!! We mean, seriously. Who the hell tries to rob a clown at a charity event? Aside from the car, what's he going to take? The squeaky shoes? The red nose? A few balloon animals?

A damn fine job Officer.

An apparently easy target. A surprise response.

We need a few dozen more of these to get the message across to the poor, underprivileged utes.

DON'T TAKE WHAT AIN'T YOURS. You might live longer.

Another illustration of the need for concealed carry for ALL citizens.

Smooth. Thanks to the officer for saving the taxpayer the hundreds of thousands of dollars it would have cost to do a trial, appeals, incarceration at $50K+ per year for what would have undoubtedly been a long and unproductive criminal career,etc.. There's a lesson in here somewhere, and it's not "clowns are creepy so don't fuck with them". Perhaps a study should be done on the benefits to society of arranging to be able to confront armed criminals while they have a gun in their hand. Oh wait, I just covered it, never mind.

"Wilding" activities + robbery stakeout squad a la NYPD = problem solved on multiple levels.

You never ever know when you'll be in this situation. In 1988 in Oak Lawn as I got out of a pizza joint, a "young teenager" (since we can't mention the race anymore) approached me and pointed a revolver. He said give me your cash and I complied. With his gun still pointed, he slowly walked backwards and then ran as fast as lightning. By the time I took out my gun he ran through the parking lot and into the alley and disappeared. This can happen to anyone, even us the police. I am glad it worked out.

SSC and Folks,

Long time reader, first time poster. In Chicago at McCormick and have a free day. Put off a bit by the flashmob stuff. Is Mag Mile, Navy Pier worth doing, or as an old fat white guy with a bum leg, am I just a large slow target?

Strange, but I've spent quite a bit of time in NYC and never felt unsafe, but there is a vibe in Chicago right now that is.. Unsettling.

I'm glad to hear the bad guy got what he deserved. What are the odds that the clown was an off-duty? If he was a non-sworn civilian he would be another victim or possibly even dead.

Concealed Carry would help even the playing field and make the scum-bag criminals hesitate a little bit. It's ridiculous the general public can't protect themselves because they live in ILLINOIS and/or the communist city of Chicago, etc..

As we all know the police can't be everywhere all the time. Surprisingly Wisconsin has finally passed some right-to-carry legislation. The only state left in the union with nothing is IL.

It's the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies.

In it there is a whole badass clown hierarchy.

With Rodeo clowns at the top, circus clowns in the middle, and then the dreaded mimes.

I'm torn here. The Cop/Clown who did this clearly needs a merit promotion. However, the merit promotees are already overbooked on clowns of a different type.

Anyway I'm glad it worked out well. Like any good circus act the good guys always win at the end.

The vocabulary word for today should be: be-clown-ed, verb

This word seems to have enjoyed a resurgence of popularity recently, usually as a contemptuous statement that someone has "beclowned himself." It is indeed a long-attested word, rather than a newly coined word. From 1609 Rowlands Crew Gossips 24, "O wretch, O Lob, who would be thus beclown'd?"

In modern usage, to make a complete idiot of oneself in public. To behave or speak in such a way, or to make a comment or express an opinion that is so profoundly witless, senseless and obtuse, that one is forever after defined as a person of comical value only, never to be taken seriously again. Of worth only as an object of ridicule and derision. "The armed and wretched teen thug was thus beclowned by an off duty police officer."

witnesses at scene related the following: When confronted, the Clown squirted the offender with a flower, then struck him in the face with a pie. Then, while the offender was stunned, the clown produced an ACME Instant Hole and threw it on the ground, tripping the offender. At this point, the offender was engulfed in Silly String while the clown drew his weapon, pulled the trigger, striking the offender with a large boxing glove. Witnesses further related that a small brightly colored SMART car screeched to a halt, at which time 35 Clowns jumped out and beat the offender with giant rubber mallets. A cartoon ambulance arrived, transporting the offender to Neverland Hospital, where Dr's Moe, Larry & Curly worked for 9 hours to remove a size 28DDD red plastic shoe from the offender's a**. Great Job Officer!

Good Job, glad you are safe...

If I had the money...

I'd call the American Society of Variety Artists and hire six clowns. Then send them to the funeral home as pall bearers. I mean if one clown put him in the cemetery you might as well have six to carry him there.

Clown trivia...

Clown faces/make-up are registered by painting them on eggs. The practice was started in Great Britton right after W.W.II with hollow chicken eggs and it is continued with ceramic eggs.

The U.S. egg collection was housed at the International Clown Hall of Fame until 1997 when that organization moved from Delavan, Wisconsin, to its current location in Milwaukee.

There are a few basic types of clowns.

WHITE FACED CLOWNS:
There is the European styled PIERROT who is elegantly dressed and usually wears a white cone hat. An example is Pichhi as played in opera by Caruso.
Then there is the GROTESQUE Clown who wears a white face but enlarged painted facial features, moppy wigs and bright costumes. This is your typical Bozo or Clarabell.

AUGUSTE CLOWNS: (German meaning foolish) This is a character clown who is a prankster and rebel rouser. His make-up is flesh or pink colored with outlines on the lips and eyes. His costume will be outlandish suits of baggy pants with bright colors and stripes and polka dots.

TRAMP or HOBO CLOWN:
This is the only true American clown and it came out of the great depression. One only has to think of Emmett Kelly or Red Skelton's Freddy the Freeloader.

The CHARACTER CLOWN:
This is a comic version of a real person is greasepaint. The make-up can be any style and the costume makes the character anything from the lady with a baby, the fireman and of course the policeman.

Stay safe. Years ago, the CPD had a “Clown Unit”. It was a club of off duty P.O.s who entertained at events and children’s hospitals. There should be some photos of them in the Star Magazine from the 70’s and 80’s.

Again and again and again, just hitting and hitting - and the head bursting and splattering underneath. And Boots and Hoho could've stopped me, but they didn't stop me!

Binky the Clown: [Normal voice] Wait... did I say 'me' just then?
