> As many of you are no doubt personally aware, the FBI’s inclusion of Juggalos as a “gang” has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of people subjected to various forms of discrimination, harassment, and profiling simply for identifying as a Juggalo. Over the past five years, our legal team has heard testimonies and reports from Juggalos all over the nation who have lost custody of their children, been fired from jobs, denied access into the armed forces, and the most common consequence — being officially labeled as a gang member by law enforcement agencies for wearing Juggalo related clothing or brandishing one or more Juggalo tattoos. A simple traffic stop for a broken tail light can — and has — resulted in an otherwise law-abiding, hard-working, taxpaying citizen being put on a local or state list of gang members simply for displaying their Juggalo pride. Being labeled a gang member can be a permanent stain on an individual’s life, since it will come up in a simple background check every single time. Whether that person is applying for a job, trying to adopt a child, join the armed forces, or attempting to acquire housing … their name may pop up as being “gang-affiliated,” even if that person has never been charged with any kind of crime.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo_gangsTheir main problem is a lack of respect from the idiots of law enforcement. Since juggers have a tendency to be alcoholics and drug users, and not to organize effectively or file class actions, law enforcement will continue to treat them as subhumans. But then this is generally true of American society--if "authorities" didn't abuse juggers, they would abuse blacks or native tribe members or Catholics etc---anyone "different".
Ultimately this is how the rich and powerful maintain their power, by forcing the "lower classes" to fight and hate each other. Not that anyone cares.
By the way, the Wikipedia article has "serious issues", which are difficult to research. Most of the article as it sits was the work of one secrecy-prone maniac who was obsessed with gangs. Especially "juggalo gangs".
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =AnnerTownAnnerTown got most of it from a blog. And was told not to do that, and ignored the critics. And deleted the warnings from his/her talkpage, after much squabbling with ICP fan "BigBabyChips" and the notorious AndyTheGrump:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =543542592An attempt to file an arbitration request against "BigBabyChips" was refused. "AnnerTown" eventually disappeared, BigBabyChips was blocked as a sockpuppet of one "SugarBear", who fought over various metal/hiphop acts and related cultural ephemera. And then, various other sockpuppets and IP addresses started editwarring the Juggalo gangs article. But the questionable content remained therein.
