“This clown situation is ridiculous,”said Lonestar-Kingwood freshman Mark Ragusin(cq). “How can someone want to play dress up and walk around forests and streets all by themselves late at night just to scare people? They can catch these hands(they can fight me).”A lot of students are feeling that they should take these matters into their own hands as the situations begins to threaten them.

According to Melissa Chan(cq) from Time.com, the clown sightings began in South Carolina in August of this year. First, it seemed there intent was to scare children even more than nightmares of clowns already portrayed to them from movies and books. Now, as growing attraction to the phenomenon occurs, the clowns are outreaching to college campuses.

These attacks are no joking matter. They are affecting the community, and now they are targeting college students.
