Cash Prize On Offer For First Person To Assault Chris Brown

A writer has offered $1,000 to the first person to beat up Chris Brown.

Chris Brown seems to be a permanent fixture in the headlines recently, doesn't he? From his rumoured reconciliation with Rihanna, the ex-girlfriend he was arrested for assaulting three years ago, to the massive backlash following his performance at the Grammy Awards last month, the singer continues to be a subject of debate.

And now he has a brand-new hater in Kevin Seccia, the manager of www.howtobeatupanything.com. But this guy, unlike all the others, is willing to put some serious money where his mouth is.

Seccia believes Brown to be a horrible human being and has published a timeline of his bad behaviour, from the initial assault in 2009 and right up to his recent Twitter tantrums. And then he makes a controversial offer:

So 1000 bucks to the first person who pummels him. Go get it.

We're really not sure what to make of this one at all.

Seccia has done his homework and, after consulting with a lawyer, has posted a line saying that his offer was a joke. But, as is clear from the following statement, saying it was a joke was, in fact, the joke:

If you tweeted an offer of $1000 to anyone who punched Chris Brown and someone actually believed you were serious and did it, and that person was criminally prosecuted for the assault, you could theoretically also be prosecuted Heres the catch though (and why I think it wildly improbably that you would be prosecuted): the prosecutor would have to show that you had the specific intent that the person actually commit the crime. If you tweeted it, obviously intending it as a joke with no actual intent that someone would do it, then I cant imagine a rea! sonable prosecutor pursuing charges.

That's... just... baffling.

Seccia has set a one month expiration date on the offer and outlined the rules on his site; we're unsure as to whether anyone could be so desperate for a grand that they'd risk a lengthy stint in prison.

Can violence be cured with violence? What do you make of this offer?
