People have been posting on social media about "Clown Lives Matter" and professional clowns have been speaking out about the abuse and threats they have been receiving recently.
There's genuine protests for it and one guy who works as a clown even ended up on the news:
Watch the video he's being 100% serious and a lot of these people aren't joking, they're trying to start a movement to defend professional clowns and to show they aren't all the same as the creepy ones trying to scare people .
Yeah, he shouldn't have jacked the name cause it takes away from something a bit deeper, but besides that.. eh, hopefully people really aren't out here beating up professional clowns.
