[The killing Joke] Why do the freaks even help Joker?

This is possibly the weirdest question for me to make, especially as I know comic book villains always will have goons for one reason or another, but I always interpreted them as thieves looking for cash.  
But why do the freaks help Joker torment Commisioner Gordon? They don't even fight Batman as they are too afraid of him, they simply torment Gordon, dance with Joker a bit and then run away.  I don't even think the Joker pays them.  


Dunno,  what do you think? All I know is that the smaller ones are creepy as hell.

They're outcasts, despised and mistreated by society. Some people, when exposed to that kind of treatment, become bitter and hateful. So when someone like the Joker comes along, offering them a chance at revenge on the "normal" folk, they follow him.

Many more wouldn't, of course. But clearly he found enough.
