FBI Classifies Juggalos as Gang Threat
Insane Clown Posse fans have engaged in criminal behavior in 21 states

Juggalos, the passionate, face-paint-wearing fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse, have been classified as a gang in the FBI's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. According to the report, Juggalos have only been classified as a gang for exhibiting gang-like behavior and criminal activity in Arizona, California, Pennsylvania and Utah, but have engaged in gang activities in 17 other states.

The FBI report states that most Juggalo-related crime is "sporadic, disorganized, individualistic" and involves "simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty theft and vandalism."

A subset of the Juggalo community have been known to engage in felony assaults, robberies and drug dealing. The threat assessment also indicates that many Juggalos are transient or homeless individuals.

Late Assignments:

Classroom lectures are often presented on EdPuzzle. Late EdPuzzle assignments can be made up during the Extra Help / Assignment Makeup sessions in room 231 from 2:36-2:49 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. If you cannot attend one of the makeup sessions, see Mr. Flamm for a Missing EdPuzzle Assignment Form, or download and print your own form, HERE. Fill out this form and return it to Mr. Flamm for evaluation.

You may also easily complete the Podcast Questions of the Week during the above times. Homework is worth 10% of your final grade, so if you do not do any homework, it is equivalent to dropping your final grade down by one entire letter grade (10% deduction).

Assignments are due at 11:59 pm on due date. Unexcused lateness of assignments will be penalized at 10 percent per day late (for example, an assignment that is two days late will have a maximum grade of 80, or B-). After 9 days the assignment is worth zero points. Learners are welcome to submit assignments more than 9 days late as Merit Assignments, but not for class credit.
