When I think of the FBI's National Gang Threat list, collective culprits such as the Bloods, Crips, gangs associated with the Mexican drug cartels, international biker gangs, even white supremacist groups come to mind; the last thing I'd consider are Insane Clown Posse fans, i.e. Juggalos. However, due to some recent FBI investigation, the collective "Juggalo" is now listed amongst the aforementioned organizations.
According to Wired.com, the FBI's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment division believes that Juggalos are a "loosely-organized hybrid gang" that are "forming more organized subsets and engaging in more gang-like criminal activity."
The obvious question is who are the kingpins, and the answer is obvious, at least according to the FBI--ICP members Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. Obviously, they've been spouting off about non-violence for years now, but fans, at least in enough of a bulk to grab the FBI's attention, continue to participate in gang-like activities.
"Although recognized as a gang in only four states," the FBI's National Gang Intelligence Center said, "many Juggalos subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence."
