Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I hopukina tētahi tangata e whakakakahu ana hei Cookie Monster hei oha atu ki ngā manuhiri ki Times Square o New York mō te whakapae i te whakapāha i tētahi taiohi. I mauheretia a Ranulfo Perez, 48, e te pirihimana i muri i tana whakapae i nga u o te kotiro 16-tau-tau i waho o te toa Toys R Us i a ia e whakaatu ana me tana roopu haerenga. Heoi, i tukuna ia e te Manhattan District Attorney i muri mai i runga i nga awangawanga kua ngaro te taiohi i tana kaiwhaiwhai, kaore hoki i tino mohio ko Perez. Ko tēnei te mea hōu rawa atu e pā ana ki ngā tāngata i whakakakahu ki te kākahu kākahu i Times Square, i waenganui i ngā kerēme mō te whakawhiu ā-ira me te raruraru. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I hopukina tētahi tangata e whakakakahu ana hei Cookie Monster, e oha ana hoki ki ngā manuhiri ki Times Square, nā te whakapae i te whakatā i tētahi tamaiti 16-tau te pakeke, kātahi ka tukuna i muri i te kore o te pirihimana i tino mōhio ko ia. I kii nga apiha kei te piki haere te maha o nga taangata kakahu i roto i te rohe, penei i nga whakaahua, kei te raru haere i New York. I kii te kotiro i hopukia ia e te tangata i whakakakahu ki te Cookie Monster ka pa ki ona uma. I mauheretia a Perez i te waahi, a, i whakawakia ia mo te pa kaha ki te mahi kino ki te tamaiti iti iho i te 17, me te whakararuraru tuarua, i kii a Gothamist. I puta te kaupapa i te 5.30 i te ahiahi o te Ratapu. I tukuna ia i te ata o te Turei i te mea i whakapumautia e te pirihimana kaore e whakawakia te keehi. Ko te kotiro taiohi, i haere mai i Winsconsin, i korero ki te New York Post: 'Kei te tino pouri ahau mo taua mea. Kāore taku riri i tēnei wā e pā ana ki te tukino i ahau. Ko te mea e 100 ōrau te whakaaetanga a te Kai-whakawa o Manhattan ki taua mea, he tino whakarihariha.' I kii a Perez ki te niupepa ko nga pirihimana, i hopukina ia i te Mane, i hapa i te Cookie Monster. I mea ia: 'E aroha ana ahau ki te tangata, e aroha ana hoki ki nga tamariki... Tērā pea ko tētahi atu, engari ehara i a au.' I ngā tau tata nei kua piki ake te tokomaha o ngā tāngata e whakakakahu ana i ngā kākahu hei pūāhua mai i ngā whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata rongonui i Times Square, nā reira i karanga ai kia whakahaeretia rātau, ā, kia akiakihia ki te tono mō...
I mauheretia tētahi tangata i whakakakahu ki te Cookie Monster i Times Square. I whakawakia a Ranulfo Perez mo te awhi kaha i tētahi kotiro 16 tau te pakeke, kātahi ka pa 'ki te kaha' ki ōna uma i waho o tētahi toa Toys R Us. Engari i tukuna ia, ā, i kī te pirihimana kāore e whakawakia ia nā te mea kāore i taea e rātau te tino mōhio he tika te tangata i tāutuhia e te taiohi. I whakahē a Perez i tōna harakore, ā, i mea ia 'i taea e tētahi te mahi'
