Look, I don’t denigrate the danger posed by clowns. I lived in Madison in 1970, when four inept young men tried to blow up the ammunition plant near Baraboo by flying over in a single-engine airplane and dropping a Molotov cocktail onto the snow- covered roof of one of the buildings.
A few months later, these same guys managed to blow up Sterling Hall on the UW- Madison campus, killing one researcher and destroying the work of dozens. I don’t think we should wait until clowns manage to get lucky and kill people before we stop them.
