couple of years ago I was taking Amtrak

A couple of years ago I was taking Amtrak to Fresno, and shared a table with two young ladies who were attired to shock, at least if one was a middle aged dude from the Central Valley, and after we established that I wasn't that, they introduced themselves as Juggalos, and we had a great talk about music and culture and belonging, and that informed some of my opinions about parenting (theirs) and life, and made the hours fly by.

It's easy to scoff at "...magnets, how do they work?", but I totally understand seeking an accepting family from a culture that has been treating you as an enemy since long before adolescence.

Anyway, this is a good rundown of some law enforcement idiocy around Juggalo culture.
