Many retail stores, including Target, has removed clown masks from their shelves for Halloween season.
The whole clown situation started in the US started in the Carolina regions and spread across the US like a wildfire, much like wildfires in California. Target, huge retail store that is widely used and can be easily recognized by many Americans. It’s the second largest retailer behind Walmart, is the first to remove clown masks from its shelves. If the clowns are a hoax then the joke went way too far and is a serious threat. If the clown group is a serious threat than many people are in deep trouble
Target is taking a bold and thoughtful decision to take down all creepy clown masks of the shelves, and the masks are no longer available for purchase. With this they are stopping a big problem before it sparks. Many people are going to be upset if they keep on selling the clown masks, which are now a temporary “terrorist” threat as clowns are causing social unrest and turmoil in certain areas across the U.S.
Hopefully more stores can follow suit and take down masks from their shelves to prevent people from complaining and losing potential revenue. Hopefully once the clown situation calms down we can see clown masks as just a spooky costume once again and the Halloweens can be completely safe once again.
As for now stay safe and out of the way of clowns. Have a fun and spooky Halloween.
