Sword-Carrying Man in Joker Makeup Arrested in Virginia
A satirical look at current events!

Sword-Carrying Man in Joker Makeup Arrested in Virginia: Local police in Winchester, Virginia report they’ve arrested a man completely decked out in a cape, face makeup and carrying a sword like the infamous comic book villain “the Joker” - charging him with wearing a mask in public, which is a felony in the state of Virginia and punishable by up to five years in jail.
Oh come on, arresting a guy for a makeup violation? You’ve got to be kidding - I mean joking. Damn, I’d better call my ex-girlfriend and tell her she better keep the hell out of Virginia. So I’m guessing Halloween must really suck for the kids in Virginia. And you can forget about ever bringing a Comic-Con convention to the area.
Meanwhile, witnesses say the man seemed really disappointed that it was police and not Batman who showed up. Adding to the suspense, he reportedly hired “the Riddler” to represent him in court. Talk about March Madness. If you ask me, this guy’s big mistake was carrying a sword instead of an AK-47. He’d most likely have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the Trump Administration.

Anyway, word on the street has it that police later determined that this was actually not makeup, but the poor guy’s real face - and all charges were immediately dropped.
