Down 2 Klown (abbr: DTK; D2K) were a Juggalo gang set operating in central Blaine County, San Andreas. The group formed in the mid-2010s as a loose-knit group of delinquents from high schools in the Sandy Shores and Grapeseed catchment areas. The economic pressure of the latter half of the decade forced some members into petty crime culminating in the arrest and imprisonment of 19 year-old Troy Sullivan for breaking and entering and grievous bodily harm in 2019. Activity waned soon after.

Out of character

This thread documents the criminal and social elements of Juggalo culture in the Blaine County region.


Juggalo sets are one of the newest and strangest phenomena to emerge from the American gang scene in recent years with the FBI officially declaring them as an organized crime threat in 2010. Typically Juggalo sets align themselves towards the dominant gang culture in their areas of operation with individual groups having taken influence from as far-removed organizations as the Ku Klux Klan, Folk Nation, and Piru Blood sets. Some more rural Juggalo sets remain unaligned.

 

While the group follows an allegiance under the Dark Carnival "family" and mythology, the criminal activity carried out by the gang is typically not towards a shared cause with the FBI describing it as "sporadic" and "individualistic". This is largely due to the unstructured nature of Juggalo sets though law enforcement reporting shows this trend to be waning in favour of more gang-like hierarchies.
