The man whose anti-Semitic rants while wearing an Elmo costume in Time Square earned him Internet infamy was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $2 million on Wednesday for attempting to extort the Girl Scouts of America.

Prosecutors say Dan Sandler, 49, told Girl Scouts staff that he would falsely accuse the organization of pimping out young girls at their camps for sex with men. Sandler pleaded guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence.

But Sandler defended his actions, telling a Manhattan judge they were “more of a protest” against what he called “a very corrupt organization because of their relationship to the pharmaceutical industry.” Sandler’s attorney reportedly rolled her eyes and shrugged when asked by reporters what her client was talking about, the New York Daily News reports.

Sandler was arrested on grand larceny, aggravated harassment and stalking charges in San Francisco last May while living in a car.

And he passed?

[Nuke]

in america, if you fail your psych eval, they let you go, dont give you any meds or therapy, and tell you to get a job (and no one will hire you because you are nuts). thats why im still around.

[Bobboau]

good, one less of those ****ing parasites in times square.

[redsniper]

Jesus ****ing Christ, your Randism is showing just a bit! Holy ****...
I guess that parasite and others like him should just exercise more responsibility and choose not to be mentally ill.

[deathfun]

Well he certainly could've chose a better costume
Like the Riddler

He'd be far more amusing if his rants were riddles

Jesus ****ing Christ, your Randism is showing just a bit! Holy ****...

have you been to times square?

[Nuke]

i personally wouldn't set foot in new york.

I say we build a giant wall around the place and toss our criminal element inside of it.

have you been to times square?

Yes and it was full of gawking tourists such as myself. But that was five years ago, maybe there's more of a homeless problem now?
Someone putting on an act to get money can get ****ed, but someone with legit mental problems needs pills.

OK everyone, thanks for your time and participation, but this thread is now over. BloodEagle has won it.

redsniper, do you actually have a reason to believe Bobboau is an objectivist beyond his use of the word 'parasites'?

[Flipside]

Strangely dressed wierdos making proclamations in public spaces is hardly a new thing though.

People should note that what he actually got locked up for was the attempted extortion of the Girl Scouts not being a nutter with ridiculous views, which is silly but not illegal, and nor should it be.

The word and the attitude that seemed to accompany it. But yeah, I don't have a source other than that. You've caught me!

I'll just turn myself in now....

e: There, reported.
