McCrazy II
Jacob Martin Geels, 22, ordered Chicken McNuggets at a McDonald’s in Greymouth, New Zealand. It’s unclear what happened to his order, but he didn’t get his nuggets, so he jumped onto the counter with two guns and started yelling and shooting. This being New Zealand, the guns were fluorescent orange and yellow toy “Nerf” guns shooting “foam wriggly things, not bullets,” said his lawyer, Doug Taffs. “They are toys which are for children aged four to six.” Greymouth District Court Judge Robert Murfitt was not impressed: four years old “was the level of maturity you displayed,” he told Geels. He convicted Geels of disorderly behavior, and fined him NZ$100 (US$72). (RC/New Zealand Herald) ...Juvenile crime, and a juvenile-level fine.Original Publication Date: 12 February 2017
