ICP Fans Commit Murder
Insane Clown Posse
Anyone familiar with the band, ICP, knows that their lyrics aren’t exactly “nice.” Anything from chopping off your head, beating you with a baseball bat, killing your cat and putting it in your mailbox.. there is no “killing” stone left unturned in their lyrics. Normally, people don’t take things like that so literally, however recently a few kids did and someone had to pay with their life.
Noisecreep.com reports on the incident:
“Last Monday, Anthony Locascio, 21, was lured to the woods by four acquaintances and struck with metal baseball bats 60 to 80 times, allegedly for ratting on a friend. Jeffrey A. Gombert, 19 and Curtis T. Foose, 25 of Hazleton; Andrew A. Tutko, 19 of McAdoo and Shane D. Roof, 20, formerly of Palmerton, were all charged with homicide, conspiracy, and aggravated assault. Locascio, Gombert and Foose refer to Insane Clown Posse on their MySpace pages, while the paper cites a source close to the investigation as saying that all five involved were Juggalos.”
*eyeroll*
Due to incidences like this one, ICP fans are almost in the “gang” classification. Not that I am an ICP fan by ANY MEANS, but it is sad when “one person ruins it for the rest,” as they say. It’s kind of like when someone covered in tattoos is a total scumbag that never does anything with their life, people stereotype people with tattoos to not be professional and likely a scumbag… which is NOT true in all cases. I mean, pretty much anyone can be stereotyped to be anything if you just look at a select few people. But that’s not the point here…
The point is, ICP isn’t singing this crap to try to get you to go out and literally beat someone to death with a bat, and so by these kids doing it, can you blame ICP at all? It seems their lyrics were a heavy influence on the incident, but legally, I’m not sure if they can be held liable for anything. I guess we’ll see!!
