This case caught my eye. Apparently the Insane Clown Posse has retained counsel to defend their fans' rights against being profiled as a "loosely-organized" gang. My understanding of a "loosely-organized" gang is basically a group of people with one mutual interest. So......Facebook users are technically a "loosely-organized" gang. I digress.....

Look, I know that not ALL fans of any particular genre/band should be lumped together. I hate lumping. What this case does, however, is set a precedent for fans and artists who love their fans to LEGALLY protect each other. Think about it.....
All those Bielebers that you can't stand, and make fun of in public, and whose parents have disowned them and forced them to obsess over a Canadian teenager in the basement of their friend's house can now go ahead and file a request for protection from persecution.....see where I'm going?
GOD FORBID, WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT NICKELBACK!

I think legally to be prosecuted or investigated for gang activity which can substantially aggravate charges, it must be proven that the 'gang' member is regularly involved in gang-sanctioned illegal and/or violent activity and there are other stipulations like they must have a name, colors, etc. I've seen cases where prosecutors have tried to prove gang activity in cases of fights where a group of football players or whatever beat someone up. Those don't stick usually. In any case, I think Jugalos meet most of those requirements and they may not all be sociopaths but they at least have co-dependency issues with a decent side of borderline personality disorder.
