TikTok is a cancer.
Heard North America found Canada. Makes sense do that in the states get shot.
Gotta keep the masses distracted somehow
Oh we're doing the clown thing again?
Yep, that was my initial reaction. Creep Clowns, take 2. Why aren't there TikTok trends of doing meaningful work to help improve your community?
I haven't been on social media but before I left there were people organizing clean up days and regular events which I thought was cool. It was trending a bit then but not as much as the tide pods or what not.
I also think it depends on whose algorithm. My husbands has a lot of successful adoption or conservation videos lol
Def could use some more positive or wholesome viral trends though.
bomesmashing? tide pod challenge?
The US has got to be the worst country for pulling this shit.
Remember when someone tried dressing up as a clown and jump scaring people in Stockton?
He got pistol whipped, lucky he wasn't shot. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qIvqjznCSPA
That was my initial thought as well but then read that it was happening in British Colombia. If all mean Canada then say it. Don't make me assume that there are kids going to be shot here in the U.S.
Stockton of all places. Pistol whipped is less than anyone would expect
Well, until one or more of them gets shot.
It’s like every few years social media forgets that whimsical and fun things are the best way to ‘prank’ strangers and someone temporarily popularizes trying to terrify randos.
Looks fake
Anything before or after “TikTok trend” is pretty much universally shit. What a wretched platform.
Good way to get shot.
Yeah no kidding or stabbed, not everyone has a "flight" response. But it was just a prank.
Prank or not. Do this to people especially teenage girls and there's a lot of people who won't take it as a prank
Oh I was being sarcastic when I wrote it was just a prank lol sorry
Mike Meyers must be soo hurting for work I guess.
Okay, so it's probably happened like two or three times. I'd hardly call that sweeping north america. That's the equivalent of taking out a broom on a beach and sweeping once and then saying you've swept the entire beach.
