Jackass lawsuit of the month: A New Orleans man who said he rescued more than 200 residents after commandeering a boat during the flood after Hurricane Katrina is being sued by the boat's owner for taking it "without receiving permission."

I hope the judge laughs this one out of court. Oh, and hits the boats' owner with a fine for "Failure to Provide Assistance".

This is easy.

Jury trial. Nobody's gonna convict him.

(and the boat owner thinks it's about publicity? Duh, seems like this will give him MORE.)

fucking boat-thieving liberal pinko red terror-supporting gitmo-fodder! who does he think he is? didn't he notice those darkies he was trying to save were shooting at him while guzzling entire purloined liquor stores at a time?

The boat is worth $50 grand or so.

The anguish is worth five times that, apparently.
