Insane Clown Posse plot march on Washington

So far in office, President Trump’s actions have largely involved cutting, blocking and abolishing. Oh, and a bit of lying. It’s hard to know if that is a positive or negative sign for Insane Clown Posse’s continued hopes of removing their fanbase from the FBI’s list of active gangs, but maybe we’ll have a better idea come September, when they march on Washington. If there’s anything left to march to by then.

You may remember that the rap duo gave ample notice of the planned march last July. “In 2017, the weekend of 17 Sep, we need you”, rapper Violent J told fans. “We’re gonna do a fucking march on Washington. They call the Juggalo World a movement, right? Well, let’s move! We are going to explain to the world who the fuck we really are”.

ICP fans, known as Juggalos, were added to a list of criminal gangs in the FBI’s 2011 National Gang Threat, remaining there ever since. To date, attempts to have them removed, including via legal action, have been unsuccessful.

With the new president now in place, a new website officially confirming the march on 16 Sep – www.juggalomarch.com – was launched yesterday.

“We need you and your voice to make sure that we shout above the chaos of this noisy world and are heard loudly and clearly as we deliver a message right into the nerve center of America that the Juggalo Family is not a joke, punchline, or any form of criminal organization”, say Insane Clown Posse in a statement.

“This is our chance to make a difference. A real difference”, they go on. “To show the world that we will we not tolerate anymore discrimination against our Juggalo brothers and sisters. If being a Juggalo has made a difference in your life, we beseech you to be a part of the important critical day in Juggalo history”.

Yes, perhaps this will mean the Juggalo history books will need to be rewritten. Don’t laugh, here’s one that could at least need an extra chapter right here.

The march will end with a free concert at Jiffy Lube Live, 35 miles outside Washington, DC. It’s not clear if everyone will have to march there too. Maybe there’ll be a bus. Either way, more than 20 acts are already apparently confirmed for the show, including 2 Live Crew, Vanilla Ice and Insane Clown Posse themselves.
