A woman wearing a clown's nose smokes a cigarette as fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse, known as juggalos, gather on Sept. 16 near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
A 2011 report by the Justice Department's Gang Task Force labeled the juggalos, who favor extensive tattoos and outlandish face paint, a "loosely organized hybrid gang." It's the same classification used for overtly violent gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips.
The rap duo has developed an intensely devoted fan base over the course of a 25-year career, and its fans claim to be a nonviolent community. Protesters chanted "family!" as well as several obscene slogans aimed at the FBI.

It was the first time for a North Korean leader to issue such a direct statement against a U.S. president, dramatically escalating the war of words between the former wartime foes and raising the international nuclear standoff to a new level.
Trump responded by tweeting that Kim is "obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people."
