Don't Mess With Clowns...

ChiefJayBob sends in this story with the admonition " I know that by the rules of the DGC, this one isn't eligible because the shooter is a cop, but it's still damn funny, and I thought you'd get a kick out of it." You make the call...

Cops: Teen fatally shot trying to rob off-duty cop
An off-duty Chicago police officer dressed up as a clown for a South Side fundraiser shot and killed a teen who held him at gunpoint tonight after the event, authorities said.

The officer, who is assigned to the Near North police district, was in his clown outfit for a fundraiser for a day-care business. The event, attended by a group of children, was near West 87th Street and South Damen Avenue.
(emphasis mine). Does it make me a bad person that when I read this story, I heard Burt Gummer's voice saying "Looks like you robbed the wrong got-damned clown, didntcha?"

That is all.

Seriously, who robs a clown?

Don't you think that if a person had enough cash to make them worth robbing they wouldn't be walking out of a kids party dressed like John Wayne Gacy?

And as that comes to mind....
Do you really, REALLY, want the wallet of a man that just spent two hours pulling balloons out of his pants and having seltzer sprayed down them?

Sort of reminds me of LawDog's Pink Gorilla story really...
