It's a mental conditioning taking place.
The guy or clown that got his head blown off. And the other sightings and people like well he deserved it! Shouldn't be in woods anyway dressed like that.

This is true but dissect the statement or thought

it's based entirely on how one feels. If you're in woods late and you see clown and you "feel" threatened you're in the clear to go head and shoot
Is this not how many Caucasian US citizens feel and Caucasian cops

about quote unquote "black" people? If they feel threatened whether or not that threat is warranted or not. Even if based on movies or media, same with clowns people's fears based upon horror flicks. And even when you think of clowns most have what, Afros or curly hair

broad noses not pointy European,

big feet

just saying
A lot of people are not ready or are naive to the blood bath that will ensue.
