" The Insane Clown Posse have confirmed that they have filed a lawsuit against the FBI. In a message on their official website, the group explained that they are unhappy with the FBI&amp;#039;s decision to classify their fans - known as the Juggalos - as a &amp;quot;gang&amp;quot;. Hertz Schram PC, lawyer for Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records, released a statement confirming the action. In the message, he explained that the suit alleges &amp;quot;the FBI&amp;#039;s violation of the Freedom of Information Act for its failure to produce any documentary evidence in support of the FBI&amp;#039;s classification of the group&amp;#039;s fanbase, the Juggalos, as a gang in the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment: Emerging Trends.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, the band&amp;#039;s post said: &amp;quot;We are not a gang! We are a family! We come together for our luv of the Insane Clown Posse, Psychopathic Records, and our Juggalo pride. &amp;quot;Can we take a f**kin&amp;#039; second to note that Jimmy Buffet&amp;#039;s Parrot Heads, Lady GaGa&amp;#039;s Little Monsters, Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s Beliebers, the Grateful Dead&amp;#039;s DeadHeads and many more haven&amp;#039;t been labeled as a gang?&amp;quot; They continued: &amp;quot;Juggalos are fans of music - not hardened, organised gang members! And that is why the Insane Clown Posse, Psychopathic Records and their legal team are fighting for YOU!&amp;quot; Last month, after announcing Insane Clown Posse&amp;#039;s plans to sue, rapper Shaggy 2 Dope told the Village Voice: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re trying to grow love in your country and s**t. Then the head of your country - the FBI - just turns around and f**king kicks you in the nuts. How are you supposed to respond to that?&amp;quot; Meanwhile, fellow member Violent J described the FBI&amp;#039;s move as &amp;quot;f**king scary&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;In a perfect world, I hope that organisations will stand up and say, &amp;#039;I hate ICP, I don&amp;#039;t give a f**k about them or the Juggalos, but this is f**ked up&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I hope that enough pressure goes on the FBI and enough bigwigs take our side in this and actually say, &amp;#039;Look, [it doesn&amp;#039;t matter] who they are, it&amp;#039;s still f**ked up what&amp;#039;s happening to them&amp;#039;. And then we actually get taken off the list.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
