ANOTHER "JACKASS" INSPIRED CRIME

(Columbus, OH) Collin Gaffney, of suburban Gahanna, 13, has been sentenced by Franklin County Juvenile Court to one year of probation and ordered to serve 60 hours of community service for throwing scalding water on Shaka Townsend, a sleeping friend. Inspired by "Jackass: The Movie," a film version of the defunct MTV television show that featured stupid and dangerous behavior, Gaffney got a plea deal where the delinquency assault charge was reduced from a second-degree felony to a fifth- degree felony.

Collin Gaffney, 13-years-old, a convicted felon, and he's got his name in the paper.

I wonder if anyone is keeping a database of the jackass incidents that have occurred. It might be difficult but I think worthwhile. If so, any trial lawyer could go after MTV with a class action suit. And, probably win. Wait a minute. What am I thinking? Trial lawyers and MTV are bastions of liberalism and, therefore, kissing cousins.
