In English, "crazy" can be used both for people or for actions.
"He's crazy" and "that's crazy" are both perfectly idiomatic
as far as I can tell. 

In Lojban, according to the gi'uste, there are certain gismu 
places that are reserved for events and from which people or
objects are explicitly excluded. It is very hard to guess which
places are like that, and which will happily take both people
and events. For example the x1 of {xajmi} explicitly allows 
both people and events. I have never quite understood the 
rationale behind the distinction.
