In the raging fight between normal humans and clowns, clowns may be winning small battles, but humans won't stand to lose the war.

A video surfaced on YouTube this week of a group of men driving along a deserted street when they spot a person dressed as a clown lurking along the side of the road. The video is extremely blurry, making features difficult to identify, but the clown appears to wear a red curly wig and carries three balloons. The men were not too happy with the clown, who slowly began to approach the car as the balloons trailed behind it in the breeze.

"What the f*ck is that, bro?" one of the passengers screams from inside the car. "Get away!"

Two men then jump out of the car and begin assaulting the clown; one appears to then produce a baseball bat, which he uses to beat the clown's torso. The punches rain down for a few seconds until one of the men steals the clown's balloons and run back to the car.

About a dozen people have been arrested in recent weeks for dressing up as clowns and scaring bystanders. Last week, multiple school districts in Florida and Ohio were either shut down or put on alert after people dressed clowns threatened students' lives on social media. And official reports of clown sightings have been documented by police departments in Alabama, Tennessee, GeorgiaNorth CarolinaSouth Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, OhioKentucky, WisconsinNew Jersey, and New York.

Stop this madness, y'all.
