Here Are the Best Images From Today’s Juggalo March in Washington
Today in Washington, D.C., fans of the hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse — AKA Juggalos — gathered on the National Mall to protest against the FBI labeling them as a gang back in 2011.
The band members, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, have spoken out against this designation of Juggalos as gang members, claiming that it has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of their fans being subjected to discrimination and harassment. They’ve also said many Juggalos have lost jobs or custody of their children due to the gang label.
The march wasn’t the only one that was held in D.C. today. Another one for Trump supporters, called the Mother of All Rallies, was scheduled. However, based on accounts from the scene, that rally turned out to be something of a dud.

Turnout for the alt-right #MOAR rally today in DC is max a few hundred people. Far fewer than would be out picnicking on a normal Saturday. pic.twitter.com/1ZHQRXmJny

Meanwhile, the Juggalo March appeared to have more attendees. And judging by the images from the rally, looked to be a whole heck of a lot more fun.
