The first rule of being a Juggalo: “Family means everything.” The second rule of being a Juggalo: “Don’t disrespect ICP or we’ll forcibly remove your Juggalo tattoo,” apparently. Two men are facing charges of attempted murder after trying to cut and burn off their housemate’s Juggalo tattoo leaving him with his right arm amputated below the elbow.
Investigators say 33-year-old Paul Martin Hurst of Hebron and 35-year-old Carey Lee Edwards of Williamsburg, Virginia, savagely beat the victim, then tried to carve and burn a tattoo from his arm. A judge has ordered them held without bond.
Lewis says all three men are affiliated with the Juggalos, a fan base of the rap-metal duo Insane Clown Posse that the FBI has described as ganglike.
Lewis says the suspects thought the victim disrespected the group and didn’t deserve the tattoo.
Sounds a little drastic for just maybe saying some bad things about a group who paints their faces like clowns and sings about magnets but when you roll with the Insane Clown Posse, it’s blood in, blood out. Still, why couldn’t they have just settled this like gentleman with glass dildos at dawn?
