Hunter Massey Ny Times Blog Post #2 “Man Trades Elmo Suit for a Jail Suit”

This article was about how the man that was arrested for harassing New York tourists while dressed up in an Elmo suit, was sentenced to jail for trying to extort 2 million dollars from the Girl Scouts. The man, Dan Sandler, refused to apologize to the girl scouts because he thinks that they are a “corrupt organization.” Sandler pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted grand larceny and third degree stalking. He tried to blackmail the Girl Scouts by threatening to spread a false story that the Girl Scouts regularly arranged sexual encounters for men and its campers if he did not get the money. It is obvious that this guy is mentally disturbed. He should go to a mental hospital to try and get help so he doesn’t hurt anyone.
