Juggalos nearly murder man for disrespecting Insane Clown Posse

Juggalos accused of attack on roommate

According to The Guardian, two Maryland men were charged with attempted murder this week after allegedly assaulting their roommate for "disrespecting" the Insane Clown Posse.

Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis stated that Paul Martin Hurst, 33, and Cary Lee Edwards, 35 attacked 31-year-old Zachary Swanson because he had disrespected Insane Clown Posse and "had to pay the consequences."

Not only did the pair beat Swanson, who suffered facial fractures, brain bleeding, broken ribs, and a lacerated liver, but they attempted to set his arm on fire in an attempt to remove a tattoo. Ultimately, Swanson's arm had to be amputated below the elbow.

As we've detailed, ICP has been battling the Justice Department and FBI over the government's designation of the Juggalos as a gang. Cases like this probably won't help ICP's cause.

INSANE CLOWN PUSSIES!!

Yeah, they're a "family", not a group of poorly organized, misguided ass-hats. How that music inspires such brain dead loyalty is beyond me. That shit jugga-blows

Those two clowns are still laughing their asses to the bank. They must idolize Jewish Gene Simmons for his strong business sense, because looks like painting your face and playing shitty music gets you somewhere in the biz.

I'd listen to ICP, but I cant lower myself to that level of stupid.

I'm gonna go on youtube and hit the dislike button on anything ICP related...that'll show em

anonymous 8/7/2014 9:34:34 AM

Gotta love meth fueled, inbred, lame ass, trailer park trash motherfckers like these two gems. ICP is music for the brainless youth of America.

DAT sageA ON THE RIGHT NEED HIS ASS WHIPPED JUST FOR HAVING AN EYEBROW RING!! What is this 1996? Fat, nasty, greasy, stinky, ugly, 12 sandwich eating, dumb, gross jugglalos! They all smell bad, and every band with ICP or related to ICP is terrible. Cannibal corpse should be ashamed for fcking with these ass clowns.

Right before I came to work I saw a piece of white trash returning cans at the gas station with 'JUGGALO' tattooed in cursive on his neck. Then I get here and read this, Pure Michigan.

I got into an "altercation" with one of these clowns at the orbit room. He asked what was so funny as I was laughing in his face, I didn't answer I just sucker punched him. He didn't have much to say after that.

He didn't have much to say after that. Bullshit. If this were true you would have been immediately gang beatd by 200 juggalos.

I love the inbreds. See how far the "family" goes for you in prison, gays.

anonymous 8/8/2014 8:57:51 PM

are we going to hold them grown men to their actions or are we just going to blame every thing else? you people are dumb, these people do not represent the band or the fan base as a whole. let us start holding people accountable to what THEY choose to do. ICP did not tell them to do this.

anonymous 8/9/2014 12:15:22 PM

Bunch of doochy fcks. ICP blows dogs for quaters.

anonymous 8/9/2014 2:42:21 PM
