Recently, Target has announced that they have removed a variety of clown masks from their stores and online website due to the recent phenomenon of clown sightings and social media posts of clowns with weapons. It's been frightening people all over the country as people start to continue this hobby across the nation. The removal of masks from Target stores has had a wide range of responses from customers and also other stores. The owner of the Caufield's Novelty in Louisville, Tracy Caufield, said that this is a decision that they never would've even considered. She also said she feels that there are still little kids and people who want to dress up as clowns who don't mean to scare anyone, so she said she owes that to the customers who still want to dress up as clowns.
To me, it's utterly astonishing that this event has taken over the country and that people are so scared that Target felt the need to remove clown masks from all of their stores. Dressing up as a scary clown to scare people is neither funny nor amusing, it's just weird and creepy, and it makes me sad and embarrassed that something like this is happening so much in our country.
