TALK ON THE STREET

What residents are saying about today’s issues

What would you do if a clown was walking around in your neighborhood?

AMY ROSSWORM

I’d do what anyone else would do: I’d panic. Those clowns are so creepy. I don’t know why anyone would want to do that to someone else.

BETH WILLIAMS

Houma

I would probably get a kick out of it. I think people are so scared, and I understand why, but it doesn’t much bother me.

LI NGUYEN

Houma

If on my property, they better have a good reason to be there or we’d have a serious problem. I don’t own a circus, so I don’t need a clown.

JEREMY DUET

Houma

I’d probably want to know who it was so I could introduce myself. Anyone who has the guts to do that is someone who is a tough cookie – especially in crazy Louisiana.

NANCY RHODES

Thibodaux

It depends where and who the clown is and what he or she looks like. If it’s an adult, I’m locking myself in the house. If it’s a kid, I am probably smiling.

TOM SMITH

Thibodaux

This whole clown thing shows how far backward we’ve fallen as society. If I saw one, I’d be afraid. You never know what people are capable of.
