Clown Jumped Over The Fence To Lure Students, Teen Not Scared But Called Him Idiot

A 'killer clown' jumped over the fence and ran to her, according to a teen from Thomas More Academy in North Shields. A teen said it was an idiotic thing for these clowns to scare high school students.

Leyland Kennedy, 14, experienced the clown attack when she was with her classmates, playing netball. She and her friends needed to rush inside as fast as they could when the clown came near and tried to horrify them. The suspect was in red wig and blue jump suit.

Leyland called the clowns "idiots" who waste their time doing non-sense pranks, based on her interview in Chronicle Live. She expressed that these clowns need jobs, or something to do and are not supposed to be scaring high school kids.

Instead of being scared, Leyland expressed her feelings of annoyance towards the clowns. She is a teenager who represents a group of people who are not actually scared but angry of these clowns, making the latter's lives in trouble. Some parents are just furious and ready to shoot them but in some states like Utah, it is strictly prohibited to shoot random clowns, according to a report by Atlas Obscura.

The clown hysteria started making noise some time in August this year, in South Carolina through unsubstantiated reports about clowns spotted, trying to lure children into the woods. This craze went on to Alabama, Florida and to other states now.

Clown scare is not a new thing since being noted in the Time Magazine that Stephen King started it in 1980s through his horror novels. It is written there that criminologists and psychologists agree to the idea that the root of the fear lies in the idea that clowns wear heavy makeup and paint extreme emotions on their faces so as to hide their true identity and what is truly in their hearts.
