I'm not afraid of clowns but I do understand why they scare some people.  If they were roaming around the streets at night like they have been in California, my view on them just might change.

According to a Fox News article, police have been called several times after reports of clowns roaming the streets in the San Joaquin Valley.  So far they haven't committed any serious or crazy crimes, although one was reportedly carrying a firearm.

I know some people are terrified of clowns, many of my friends are.  I'm not but I totally understand why some people are freaked out by them.  They can be weird and scary.  I'm just going to say that if I saw one or a bunch of them wandering the streets at night I probably would be a little nervous.  It would probably be due to the crime television shows I watch and the fact that I have an overactive imagination but still...CREEPY!

Clowns or not, what scares you?
