Have they actually attacked anyone? It's probably just some nerds from 4chan.

 

[Wolfstrike]

I heard they attacked people but nothing serious has happened yet

I don't think they've attacked anyone. I guarantee it's some dumb internet thing.

 

[aaronleland]

From what I've heard only children have claimed to see them. Probably is a stupid internet thing.

This nationwide clown apocalypse seems coordinated. I can't be coincidence that they are showing up everywhere. Some were said to have knives and at least once, a woman claimed she was attacked. Otherwise, they seem to be appearing in random places just to creep people out.

I wonder if it's an attempt to get media attention away from something else.

Well now that the internet is apparently under Al-Qaeda control and ICANN is secretly controlling all our lives through the UN, maybe they'll put an end to this blasphemous clown nonsense.

The stories of clowns running around the country are for real. Here's one here:

"Our society is isn't just bad, it's truning comic book bad"

Nonsense.

Our society is not ‘bad.’

The rightwing gloom and doom misery offensive is lame and tedious.

You guys don't follow the news do you? There have been arrests.

Mental competency at issue in Slenderman stabbing trial...

Girl’s mental state at issue as Slender Man case begins
Wed, Sep 13, 2017 - A Wisconsin teenager accused of stabbing a classmate to please a fictional horror character known as Slender Man was to go on trial yesterday, with a jury to decide whether she was mentally competent at the time.

Anissa Weier and a codefendant, Morgan Geyser, were just 12 at the time of the attack at a park in suburban Milwaukee in 2014. The third girl, also 12, survived her wounds. Twelve jurors and four alternates were chosen on Monday and opening statements were scheduled for yesterday. Weier, now 15, has admitted a role in the stabbing, but pleaded not guilty due to mental illness. A plea agreement calls for her to be committed to a mental hospital for at least three years if she is judged to have been mentally ill; if not, she faces 10 years or more in prison.

Prosecutors allege that Weier and Geyser lured Payton Leutner into a Waukesha park in May 2014 and stabbed her 19 times. The girls have said it was an effort to please Slender Man and become his servants, or to keep the character from attacking their families. A passing bicyclist found Leutner, and Weier and Geyser were captured later that day. Prosecutors charged both girls with being a party to attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

Anissa Weier listens during the jury selection in the trial to determine her competency at Waukesha County Courthouse in Wisconsin on Monday.​

Weier struck a deal with prosecutors last month in which she pleaded guilty to being a party to attempted second-degree intentional homicide, essentially acknowledging she committed all the elements of the offense. However, she also has pleaded not guilty due to mental illness, meaning she believes she is not responsible for her actions.

Weier told a judge during her plea hearing last month that she believed Slender Man would attack her and her family if she did not kill Leutner. Psychologists have testified that she suffered from persistent depression and a delusional disorder linked to schizotypy, a diminished ability to separate reality from fantasy. At least 10 of the 12 jurors must agree on a verdict. Geyser has pleaded not guilty to being a party to first-degree attempted homicide.
