ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - BiggGameJames - 08-14-2012

CAVE-IN-ROCK, Ill. — The Juggalos served up a shot of vigilante justice Saturday.

It was a moment that even veteran festival-goers described as shocking: hordes of fans destroying the car of a suspected thief at Insane Clown Posse’s Gathering of the Juggalos.

With cheers and chants of “FA-MI-LY,” the charged-up mob ultimately lifted the stripped Grand Am onto a Uhaul trailer and carted it half a mile to the festival’s main stage, where security demanded they tow it backstage.

Hours earlier, the suspected thief had been chased off the fest site by a posse of more than 50 fans.

“We police our own,” said an Ohio fan who called herself Red.

It all had started Friday night when a Michigan couple – identifying themselves as 23-year-old Angelina and 24-year-old Marty – arrived at their campsite to find their tent ransacked. As they later recounted to the Free Press, a fellow camper fingered the unidentified Ohio man as the culprit.

On Saturday morning the Michigan couple entered the suspect’s Grand Am only to find he’d removed the trunk release button. They said they opened the trunk by hotwiring it, finding their stuff among a batch of goods stolen from other Juggalos, including shoes, shorts, electronics, jewelry and bottles of medicine.

“We started smashing the front window,” said Angelina.

Others soon joined in, and within hours the car was an empty, dented hulk. Juggalos could be spotted parading pieces – bumpers, doors, engine parts – around the Gathering site.

At one point the suspected thief was spotted nearby. Dozens of fans set after him, chasing him to the festival exit, where security staffers stopped the mob.

“We’re family,” said an Arkansas fan who said he helped lead the chase. “You don’t steal from your family.”

The fate of the car, thief and vigilantes was unclear Saturday evening, day four of the 13th annual Gathering, which has drawn more than 8,000 fans of Detroit's ICP to southern Illinois.

“I was there when they threw things at Tila Tequila (in 2010), and even I’m more shocked at this,” said Red, the Ohio fan. “We’re not usually this feral.

But dude – don’t steal.”

They paraded the car down in front of the main stage, and I heard people say it was from a thief. Good deal. Stupid ignorant people.

its all spray painted i have a feeling this was all asetup and part of the gathrn performace

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - juggalogigolo - 08-14-2012

why, because its spray painted?

you think all the random graffitti around the gathering is a set up too? most likely all the morons doing the tagging all over the place, saw this car getting pushed around, and tagged it up

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - Juggahoe - 08-14-2012

it was not a set up. Dude got fucked up and chased of the grounds by like 50+ people.
Then they proceeded to smash his car. I heard it was his girlfriends but I also heard he stole it to get there. meh who knows.

bajaj, that rules

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - juggalogigolo - 08-14-2012

awesome

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - sTr - 08-14-2012

so they are mad at a car thief, and they ruin the car.... does anyone else not see the logic in this?

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - juggalogigolo - 08-14-2012

its a mob mentality, im not gonna lie, if i caught someone stealing my shit, i would most likely bust his fuckin windows as well, and then it just got taken to far because everyone was druk and juggalos are stupid

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - sTr - 08-14-2012

but if they are defending the person who's car got stolen, why would they destroy the car?

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - Juggahoe - 08-15-2012

No that wasnt the case. Dude was stealing shit from peoples tents and such. Thats why they destroyed the car. It was until after shit was said and done where people started to speculate it was a stolen car.

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - sTr - 08-17-2012

OK, that makes a little more sense....

Re: ICP fans exact vigilante justice on suspected thief - and hi - juggalogigolo - 08-17-2012

word


if we had found out who stole your shit and slashed your tent, i would have definitely helped destroy their car
