The Juggalos took on The Man, and The Man won, at
least this round. A federal judge has rejected a lawsuit brought by Insane Clown Posse and the ACLU against the FBI over the official designation of the group's fans as gang members, reports mlive.com. The band argued that the 2011 designation
has subjected Juggalos to extra scrutiny by police and is
discriminatory. No dice, said US District Judge Robert Cleland, who
ruled that the designation is "descriptive," not "prescriptive," and
thus does not dictate any specific police response, reports AP.
"This is not the end," said Insane Clown Posse member Joseph Bruce,
known as Violent J. "We'll keep fighting to clear the Juggalo family
name."
