I.C.P. sues F.B.I. over slanderous claims that Faygo isn't really soda

The internet is positively buzzing (as you can see here and here) as news spreads about the Insane Clown Posse (I.C.P.) suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) over their continued War of the Acronyms (W.O.T.A). But, for real, I.C.P. is suing the F.B.I. because they don’t really agree with the F.B.I.’s assertion that their fans (lovingly called Juggalos and/or Juggalettes) are part of a gang.

It all began last year when, in their annual National Gang Threat Assesment, the F.B.I. declared that Juggalos are not just misguided and angry music fans who have no better way to vent than listening to idiots rap about murdering, but are, in fact, a full-on gang. As in a Crip, Blood, or Latin Kings-style gang.

The report reads: “The Juggalos, a loosely-organized hybrid gang, are rapidly expanding into many US communities. Although recognized as a gang in only four states, many Juggalos subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence.”

It elaborates: “Most crimes committed by Juggalos are sporadic, disorganized, individualistic, and often involve simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty theft, and vandalism. However, open source reporting suggests that a small number of Juggalos are forming more organized subsets and engaging in more gang-like criminal activity, such as felony assaults, thefts, robberies, and drug sales.” And goes on to describe Juggalos as “transient, homeless, violent, destructive, and criminal.”

As people who are too stupid to run a successful gang (c’mon, they don’t even understand how magnets work), Violent J and Mr. Shaggy 2 Dope of I.C.P. are understandably upset about the accusation and have filed a lawsuit against the F.B.I. requesting documents that explain the reasoning behind the gang label and hope to ultimately remove Juggalos from the list of F.B.I. approved gangs.

“They’re punishing [you] for being Juggalos,” Violent J told fans, “This is the government’s way of telling us what you can listen to, what you can wear.”
