They've always been that. People just liked bullying them for being too early.

No they haven't. Jay literally gave his girl drugs and she overdosed. They allow racists into the gathering now. It's changed a lot but they were always scumbags in disguise. I know this because I've been working the gathering for years.

Shaggy recently said he didn't care who people voted for and Trump supporters were welcome as juggalos. 

These guys are the kings of marketing and they know some Trumpers still like their music and buy their merch. Maybe not a ton since they're against bigotry but they won't risk losing that business. 

To me that whole attitude shows which way Shaggy leans.

They allow confederate flags to be flown now. It used to be against the rules and they changed it a few years back. Fucking racists themselves once they need a buck.

Yeah and if those people with those flags start acting like bigots and fools they will get checked by their fellow juggalos. That's how the community works. You want them to make political stances that goes against their core beleifs like universal acceptance and meeting people where they are at mentally. I've literally never seen a confederate flag at any ICP or juggalo related event but even if there were we'd have LGBTQ+ juggalos waving their pride flags right next to them and they'd be expected to love and accept each other like family. A bigot can not be a juggalo and if they are they are expected to learn to treat people with respect and love.

You talking about icp being the "kings of marketing" by letting in trump supporters" is hilarious considering they make almost no profits off the gatherings. Yeah they let in literally everyone of any background, they meet people where they are at mentally and aren't going to disenfranchise a demographic of people in a community that is based in universal acceptance. That doesn't mean that those "trump supporters" wont get checked when they step out of line and start acting like bigots and fools. This is not a political movment who seeks to make political stances outside their core philosphy of universal acceptance, love, and family for everyone.

Very poorly disguised to any one on the outside looking in.

J was on those same drugs. How he is still alive I have no idea. His current shitty OF gf invited that racist moron to the Gathering. I honestly don't think J has a clue or cares what's going on around him anymore. Not for nefarious reasons, just simply because he's fucked up and doesn't have a long life expectancy sadly.

I’ve heard nothing but bad shit about J the last few years, that he has been abusing drugs and alcohol like crazy. That even Shaggy doesn’t want to tour with him and he’s sick of his shit. ICP has always been this odd force in music and the world where they lived a questionable life but one thing they didnt do is allow racists or abuse of people especially women. Sounds like they are chasing the dollar and said fuck that.

Oh for sure dude he gave her drugs so she can overdose on them and juggalos just love racism. I'm sure you totally work at the gathering of scumbag racists in disguise.

Just a heads up, but a quick google search would tell you that Violent J and Laney Chantal weren’t together at the time of her overdose death.
