Apparently last year, there was an outbreak of someone or a couple of someone's in Stillwater and on OSU's campus doing the whole "creepy clown watching people" thing dressed like the clown from It. It freaked a bunch of the coeds out big time and the local police got involved. They never were able to find the ones responsible, but one of the senior folks in the Stillwater PD had one of the better options I've ever heard for dealing with it.
"Let the girls shoot one, it'll train a thousand."
Said in jest, but most of us thought there was some merit to the idea.
