Insane Clown Posse hat helped FBI track down man in January 6 attack

Laurium resident Adam Mancuso, 45, broke into the Capitol, smoked, took photos and later donned a gas mask during the attack. He wore a black cap with the red “Hatchetman” logo of ICP's record label, Psychopathic Records, the unsealed criminal complaint said. Mancuso, a fan of the Detroit rap duo, runs “Adam's Stash,” an online store that sells jewelry and other Insane Clown Posse items with the “Hatchetman” logo, an FBI special agent wrote in the court filing.

The FBI is very familiar with the logo. A 2011 FBI report labeled the music group's fans, known as Juggalos, a gang. Insane Clown Posse and several followers challenged the designation, arguing that being called a gang violated constitutional rights to free speech and due process and that they had been targeted by police because they wore jewelry or tattoos featuring the group's symbol, a man running with an axe. The group and its fans lost an appeal in federal court in 2017.
