Okay, okay, it’s the Daily Fail, but still this is the most uplifting murder story I have ever read in my goddamned life: [Assassin Dressed as Clown Kills Mexican Drug Lord](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2468484/Assassin-dressed-clown-kills-Mexican-drug-lord-surprise-attack-family-gathering.html).

For all my belief that violence isn’t the answer, I think that this is the best possible way for a murder to happen.

No police sketch of the suspect? Disappoint. ☹

Mexican clowns have now staged a half hour laugh in saying a true clown would not have done this.

True clowns kill you when you’re asleep.

Or so the hipster T-shirt tells me.

Halloween is the best season for this to happen, as well.
