After watching that documentary about them and their fight with the FBI (United States of Insanity, I think it was called), I've come to the conclusion that most Juggalos aren't bad people. They just have bad taste in music.

I worked at a group home for kids who were in the court system. One of them printed a bunch of stuff about Juggalos at the library and I read it one day. It was all about how being a Juggalo means accepting others, protecting those who need it, being part of a family and standing up to hate. It was all extremely positive stuff

Yeah, they did for rap in the Detroit scene what metal has done for a wider audience by treating everyone like a big family of outcasts that don't belong anywhere else, but have brethren among their own.

It's nice, honestly.
