An Insane Clown Posse (ICP) show in Southgate, MI was shut down by police due to an anonymous tip. Police could not provide any information on where the anonymous tip came from, whether from within Michigan, out of state or via internet.

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.

  1. I never did like clowns too much growing up... I was freaked out by that clown doll in the movie Poltergeist

    1. Me 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. =)

  2. I hate Insane Clown Posse as much as the next guy, but it sounds like it was a concert, not a 'violent wrestling event'.

  3. I 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.

  5. No details of anonymous tip? Hmmm, not being able to face your accuser?

  6. The 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.

  9. Anonymous 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.

  10. I am just wondering why there is a need to hide ones self when trying to help a person in distress?

    1. Fair 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.

    2. I 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.

    1. I 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.
