I'll always have Juggalo Family

To:  Police of the U.S.A, of the world

We, the undersigned, gracefully ask: that you stop the illegal profiling of children and young adults everywhere, based on what they wear. We refer to the assinine, and quite inane targeting of those belonging to a group of music followers. The "Juggalos" misrepresented as a gang, is unjust, duly misaligned with the truth.

One should not be classified as a gang member based on what he/she chooses to wear/listen to. A hatchetman worn around the neck, on bandanna, hat, or etc; should not mean autonomical inclusion into a gang. It's a symbol. One that has come to mean nothing more than family amongst differences.

Some of the aforementioned Juggalos may be gang affiliated, but that does not mean us all... or perchance any of us. Who is to say. Arrest lawbreakers, not trend followers. Do not chastise on what one wears, unless it is clear that they are using it as gang propaganda/paraphernalia.

The ludicrosity of this crime is outrageous, and must be stopped. No child needs to be pinned to the ground for listening to music they like.

Stop the violence? Then you Police Departments of America, perhaps across the world... wherever this injustice may be occurring, must cease.

This does not go just to Juggalos wearing Hatchetmen, it also extends to the other fan groups of music, the social archetypes, that wear specific symbols to their music of choice. Let freedom of expression ring free.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
