There’s always a secret motive

A kid from Reading was acquitted yesterday of disorderly conduct and trespassing. On Feb. 15, he put on a gorilla mask and climbed to the top of his high school. He was suspended for 10 days, and ended up graduating and is now in college.

His lawyer claimed his client was just trying to amuse his friends. Maybe. But wouldn’t it be more nefarious (and smart, since he could have gotten paid) if he was doing an early promotion for the new King Kong movie? Peter Jackson will stop at nothing to promote his films!
