Police
in Kenosha, Wisconsin were called by a woman who saw a man in clown makeup
dragging screaming children into the woods at 2 a.m. Sunday. Police found a drunk Antonio Brown, wearing
clown makeup, among three children who were crying uncontrollably and holding
each other.

| Not the clown who hurt the kids. |
According
to Kenosha News: The children said
Brown, their mother’s boyfriend, had come back from a Halloween party in Racine
about 1 a.m. and invited them to go for a walk on the train tracks. They had
done that a few weeks before and thought it was fun.
But this time, the 13-year-old child told police, Brown was drunk and
was making the two children drink, too. The older child said he was forced to
drink so much that he threw up.
The children tried to run away, but Brown caught up with him. The
older child said Brown hung him upside down from the 50th Street overpass
saying, "If you try that again, I'm going to drop you."
The
story gets more harrowing for the children.
Brown forced the kids to climb on top of parked trains, and when the
younger ones refused, he pulled them up by the hair. He later dangled the younger child from the train
holding his neck and ankle and threatened to kill him.

| Antonio Brown: amateur Halloween clown |
Brown
is charged with two counts of physical abuse and two counts of second-degree of
recklessly endangering safety. He faces
up to 16 years if convicted. He should
get a lot more than that.
Brown, from the account, does not appear to be a professional clown. He appears to be an amateur Halloween clown who is insane. Professional clowns are likely to take this poorly, much like they took the Mexican Cartel Hit-Clown poorly (story here).
If clowns didn't have such a bad reputation, I'd say this would hurt their reputation. This will just burnish it. Kids, don't go in the woods with anyone dressed as a clown, even if he is your mom's boyfriend. The day he dresses as a clown is a bad day for that walk.
