Weird S*** Wednesday: Man in Joker Makeup Charged After Waving Knife
A 25-year-old man clad in “Joker” makeup “menacingly waved” a pocketknife at several teenagers as he drove past them Tuesday in Haddon Township, authorities said. Assoumou Diby was stopped a short time [after] cruising past the group on the 400 block of West Crystal Lake Avenue on Tuesday, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and Haddon Township police said in a statement Wednesday.
It’s blurry but, here’s a visual…a man in joker makeup arrested by Haddon Twp, NJ, police after allegedly waving a pocketknife at children. The arrest followed days of sightings, scares and calls to police, who say, until last night, the behavior wasn’t criminal. @FOX29philly

Diby, of Haddon Township, was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon following his arrest. Earlier in the week, police said they received multiple reports from people who saw a man in Joker makeup walking around town, noting it’s not a crime [to] simply do that.
Diby is due to make a first appearance in municipal court July 16.

Was he arrested for not wearing a mask?
I’m glad you have my Joker on there… Caesar Romero…yes he was in the camp Batman but I loved his portrayal of the Joker.

A mask was not mentioned, curiously.
The only Jokers I missed were Mark Hamill’s cartoon one and Cameron Monaghan’s Jerome/Jeremiah twins.

Joking…about a Joker post. You are SO punny! LOL!
I think the dude is a CosPlay/LARP nut. Too many people get themselves all wrapped up in whatever Hollyweird spews out. I’d be willing to bet that, if he had the means, he would stalk Phoenix or Leto or Monaghan.

Big Foot/Sasquatch/Yeti is quite a fascinating subject. Some have reported that they are telepathic. Their presence is pretty much explained in the Chris Thomas material.

Bless them, I guess they are just a little bored, kids having fun, eh? 😉 No Catwomen stalking the streets I bet, now that would be interesting 😂. Interesting post, I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

Hey. Halloween everyday? Why not. He was doing OK until the knife waving toward the teens. No laws against playing dress-up (ComicCons exist for this very thing). There are laws against brandishing a weapon that is non-defensive in intent.
