Last week, over 100 angry clowns protested on the streets of El Salvador. They are trying to defend their reputation as happy entertainers, after two “fake” clowns committed murder. These imposter clowns have led to a distrust towards the real clowns, they say.
The professional jesters, who perform on the country’s bus routes, marched down San Salvador’s main street chanting “real clowns are not criminals”.
The protesters, dressed in oversized bow ties, tiny hats and colourful make-up, said they were aiming to entertain and educate passers-by during their march.
“We are protesting so that people know we are not killers,” said professional clown Ana Noelia Ramirez.
Wow, clowns are scary enough as it is, I feel bad for them. I hope the imposter clowns get caught!
