STOP CLOWNING AROUND!

To whom it may concern:

With the rash of evil clowns being spotted on the streets of North American cities ....., and the arrival of Halloween (All Hallows' Evening) a week from Monday, it looks like this current clown infestation is going to be as bad as some of the zombie apocalypses we have suffered through lately!

A Cape Breton man, better known as Klutzy the Clown, has been granted bail after being charged with four sex-related charges involving a minor.

Dale Rancourt, 51, was arrested on Sunday in Cape Breton. He’s facing two counts of sexual interference, one count of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault relating to a girl under the age of 16. Police allege all of the offences happened within the last month.

Rancourt attended a bail hearing at a provincial court in Sydney on Tuesday. He posted a $20,000 bond and was released later that day on a number of conditions, which includes having no contact with the alleged victim or anyone under the age of 18. Crown attorney Sheldon Nathanson told CTV Atlantic on Tuesday that the strict conditions are intended to protect the community.

Of course I don't have to remind you that this whole evil clown thing was started by John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994), who was an American serial killer and rapist. 

He sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978 in Cook County, Illinois.

All of Gacy's known murders were committed inside his Norwood Park, Illinois home. His victims would typically be lured to this address by force or deception, and all but one victim were murdered by either asphyxiation or strangulation with a tourniquet (his first victim was stabbed to death). 

Gacy buried 26 of his victims in the crawl space of his home. Three further victims were buried elsewhere on his property, while the bodies of his last four known victims were discarded in the Des Plaines River.

Convicted of 33 murders, Gacy was sentenced to death for 12 of these killings on March 13, 1980. He spent 14 years on death row before he was executed by lethal injection at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994.

GEE, IT'S NO WONDER A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CLOWNS!
