This is a fine example of some concerned members of the public stepping forward and doing what they should do to protect the underage patrons of this event. Police eventually identified approximately eight minors that were consuming free beer while enjoying the insane clowns pound each other into oblivion.
Anonymous tips, whether they come via anonymous email, anonymous messaging or an anonymous tip line do work. As long as the law enforcement community continues to protect the identities of tipsters, the public will remain comfortable about stepping forward with potentially life saving information.

I never did like clowns too much growing up... I was freaked out by that clown doll in the movie Poltergeist
ReplyDeleteMe too, especially those clowns that really look like aarrgghh.. but as I grow up, I found out that there are some clowns that looks cute also, and I like it when they make the kids laugh without using other person as the laughing matter. =)
DeleteI hate Insane Clown Posse as much as the next guy, but it sounds like it was a concert, not a 'violent wrestling event'.
ReplyDeleteI had actually heard from a friend whose brother was there- that there was some UFC-style fighting going on in the crowd. Of course, that is only gossip.
ReplyDeleteThese clowns are crazy...no suprise to me that someone busted them!
ReplyDeleteNo details of anonymous tip? Hmmm, not being able to face your accuser?
ReplyDeleteThe accuser has the right to remain anonymous. Arrests were made and illegal activity was being engaged in- so the accusations are irrelevant. The tip just stated that the event was taking place and there was underage drinking and minors involved - no beer and wine license.
ReplyDeleteYeah right. Me too, I never like clowns. They're so freaky...
ReplyDeleteICP Kicks ass Leave them alone You Pigs. Maybe the parents shouldn't have let their kids go to the concert.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous caller must not be taken for granted but they must be dealt with cautiously. They are indeed great help to maintain peace and order in the country.
ReplyDeleteI am just wondering why there is a need to hide ones self when trying to help a person in distress?
ReplyDeleteFair question. Like the old saying goes.. "don't kill the messenger"... sometimes the bearer of bad news or someone who doesn't want to get "caught in the middle" won't take action for fear of reprisal. For example, Granny living all alone might be afraid to call the cops about the drug dealing and prostitution taking place in her neighborhood because she is afraid her identity will be revealed and the hoodlums may come after her. More people take action when the fear of being entangled in other person's life is reduced.
DeleteI agree with what silent sender says. Though one is brave enough to tell the authorities about the bad things that's happening in the neighborhood, still one must not forget to protect his/her very own self. what is bravery when you will lost your life? Giving tips though anonymous is still one way of showing that you care for the safety of all.

ReplyDeleteThis is very inspirational knowing there are still many individuals out there, taking time and effort giving tips to solve crimes or help the neighborhood in distress.
ReplyDeleteI agree with inspirational movies, when everyone do their share, crime will indeed be lessen. Just like when one found out that their friends or love ones are addicted to drugs they might as well do their jobs to bring them to the right rehab center.
DeleteAnonymous or not, if the tips being given is helpful and can save lives, that is all really that matters.
ReplyDeleteVery informative, keep posting such good articles, it really helps to know about things.
