A "cult-like gang":
CLINTON — A man accused of chopping his mother-in-law to death with a hatchet is a member of the Insane Clown Posse gang, an expert testified Monday.
As Robert Edward Fritts’ murder trial entered its second week, prosecutors introduced evidence linking him to ardent followers of the horror-themed, ultra-violent hip-hop band who have embarked on crime sprees.
Insane Clown Posse gang members live on the edge of society and adhere to an “almost cult-like religion,” said Detective Sgt. Tom Walker, supervisor of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office’s gang investigation unit.
“I believe he (Fritts) is a member of the (Insane Clown Posse) gang,’’ Walker told the nine-woman, three-man Anderson County jury.
Evidence introduced Monday revealed Fritts’ fascination with both the band and hatchets. ...

have ICP embarked on many crime sprees or is that just pisspoor writing?
― m0stlyClean, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 02:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, bad writing. I assume it means "followers' have embarked on violent crime sprees. But it makes it sound like ICP are out robbing banks and shooting shit up.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/bs-md-tattoo-beating-20140805,0,5506278.story
Two Hebron residents were charged Monday with attempted murder and assault for beating a man, attempting to carve a tattoo from his arm, and setting him on fire, police said. The victim remains in critical condition at a burn center in Baltimore, the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office said.
The incident occurred Monday just after 1 a.m. on the 7200 block of Rockawalkin Rd. in Hebron, police said. Officials say Paul Martin Hurst, 33, of Hebron and Cary Lee Edwards, 35, of Williamsburg, Va. began beating Zachary Swanson, 31, after an argument in the Hebron residence the three men share.
The suspects then tried to forcibly remove a tattoo from Swanson's arm, police said. After failing to remove the tattoo, the suspects set fire to the victim's arm, police said. The victim was left on the ground for several hours and suffered severe burns, police said, before he was driven to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center and subsequently flown to a burn center in Batlimore.
Both suspects have been charged with first and second degree attempted murder, first and second degree assault, reckless endangerment and a deadly weapon charge.
Officials say there is a strong possibility the suspects and the victim are connected with the Juggalos, a group of fans of the Detroit hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse. Police said the victim's tattoo was "consistent" with the fan group, which the FBI has classified as a gang.

people are starting to become more charitable to juggalos, right? there is a strong undercurrent of classism in most writing about them that I think is pretty mean spirited

It's less an exposé and more of an ICP thesis statement: a beautifully paced, wordless (and, thank god, without music) series of short video portraits of clown-faced juggalos in situ, self-medicating with sex, violence, drugs and family. The visuals owe something to Avedon and Arbus but the ethos is an insider perspective of post-dada nihilism that regularly lights on an unironically detached direct gaze. The guiding spirits are the impassible sadness of hopelessness, the absurdity of modern displacement (the alpaca scene elicited genuine and surprise laughter), the tenderness of shared experience and the haunted house posturing of threat without menace... a briefly glimpsed felony, the breaking of a brick over an unprotesting man's head and a fervent bout of cunnilingus all are presented without impact but not without meaning. More than any other treatise I've seen on the subject, this film portrays Juggalos as profoundly disconnected, half-impotent droogs trading on self-expression to communicate, marooned in a world that is no more or less ludicrous than painting your inner Pagliacci on your face, declaring defeat before they even begin to try.
― So beautiful cow (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 November 2014 04:40 (nine years ago) link
totally people should watch this if they're curious but just fwiw & as counterpoint i found it kind of a mean experiment & a mainly pretty vapid film; it alternates between indulging the most surface-level gaze at another weird american community, & drifting into the filmmaker's kinda installation-art image making, which is fine (i liked the inking scene) but feels just so limited, to me, like more obnoxiously confrontational weird americana porn that doesn't go an inch beyond what we already know or expect. agree w/ a bunch of what you wrote but to me the icp thesis statement just feels so impressed, like it has the uncritical eye of a propaganda video. maybe because it lives within that thesis statement zone it's fine, i don't know.
also alpaca scene just really bummed me out

Couple of weeks ago I went next door from my office to get coffee at Starbucks, in the Doubletree Hotel. Parked at the curb was a white panel van with this on the dashboard and it just made my day. I like to imagine the driver heard about their new Faygo Spice Latte and had to have one.

schlump, i can see where you might've landed there; I don't feel like a half hour piece needs to be much more than be a surface-level exploration, especially when it's told from the perspective of the beholden.no idea why the alpaca scene would've bummed you out. they looked pretty and well cared for.
― So beautiful cow (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 November 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link
thanks, forks; this was something i both didn't like & felt like an asshole for not liking, & i feel bad wading in here. i saw it in a room of people who were really responsive, & there's something kind of precious about finding it objectionable when it so clearly aligns with who it represents & what it set out to do. i think something that maybe got me was the collision of feeling so tonally indulgent - so including like the abandoned warehouse sequences - & then the formal, kinda presentative strategy of hesitating before each shot, so with the scene of two guys in bed under green light, including this ten seconds beat to separate you from what you were seeing. it felt kind of uncaring to me.
but yeah everyone still can watch this on whatever realmedia gameboy color stream mubi is offering, go for it
