@BookishLookish: Honestly I don't understand why he still needs to conceal himself anymore. Isn't he pretty much out there..ie if someone was going to apprehend him, they could just do it at this point couldn't they? Does he really need to cover his face still?? It makes me wonder if there's something scary hidden under there.

Trembles betrayal reminds me of the final scene in Breathless. Except instead of returning to selling newspapers on the street, Jean Seberg would sell her story to one. That and Belmondo/Seberg are awesome and Ferrell/Tremble not so much.

Since when is turning in a small time grifter (and not a very good one at that), "snitching"?

Wasn't this covered in whatever HBO miniseries educated these outraged few about Street Life?

Here's a tip for all of you "Stop Snitching" aficionados: having moved to Bushwick in the 21st century doesn't make you hard, and if your idea of sweet revenge is tossing projectiles at an indie rock concert you've paid to attend, you're even more of a loser than previously assumed.

She's clearly mentally ill, I believe, but she's not done yet spreading the magic. She'll "get well" in jail and get therapy, paid for by her parents and she'll move to her next con-- the straight life, probably get married to some software engineer (hip, though!) and have children and the whole time she'll be crazy and then more drama will ensue in her life and there will always be those dumb suckers charmed out of their pants by her and dying to help with her 389th disaster.

Ugh. I've known about 5 of these people in my life (men too) and they give me a chill in my bones. I guess I'm jaded after a friend of mine in h.s. did the fake cancer thing.

That said, I hope she can get help.

@paragrab: it turned into a very sad big deal at my h.s. involving teachers who genuinely cared, hurt kids freaked out about death, parents. I commend my otherwise fairly crappy h.s. for how they handled it. And the girl was so cool and fun; a pretty good friend of mine. Sad. She is still alive from what I've heard.

Sorry, Hamilton; "Anyone" could not have been the next victim. Stupid fey suburban douches from states that don't border an ocean who moved to Brooklyn because the LES was already filled does not mean anyone. It means tools and douchebags and hipsters. It means white people with no culture but 70's cartoons and 80's sitcoms.

She is a lioness who rightfully preyed on the gazelles and ibexes running on the outside of the pack.

Voyou_Charmant

@chicoleo: For the love of god. She's a pathological liar and a criminal taking advantage of people who's crime is the act of trust and a pinch of naivety. It's not like she was trying to survive in the wild, she was trying to get by using fraud, lies and other peoples money. That's not the work of a strong woman, it's the work of a parasite. She is, quite literally, a human parasite.

Following your rational to it's logical conclusion, you would have respect for anyone who's lie you believed, or who stole from you.

You might as well be defending Nigerian email scams and people who steal other people's identity.

Get off my internets with that nonsense.

The irony in all this is had she put as much work into a real job as she did lying and cheating, she would likely be fairly successful and not in jail.

She's not a lioness, she's a tick, and now a bird just landed on the water buffalo and plucked her off and ate her.

How much respect can you possibly have for someone who managed to ruin her own life by simply making shit up for no reason what so ever?

@Pope John Peeps II:

Grow up. Stealing and lying are the two things that built America.

She's just folling the FOunding Fathers.

She didn't KILL or RAPE children or bomb abortion clinics. She didn't steal from little old ladies, she stole from MEN who wanted to get LAID. They were trying to GET something, but they got TOOK.

Let the police do their job, they don't need vigilantes helping them out, BATMAN.

@Kirth: Yeah, and that's why you should only turn her in if it's really not too much trouble. Because she doesn't deserve to be hunted down. She just deserves to lazily go to jail for a lazy sentence. And if I could put here there with one lazy phone call sure.

Because she's still a criminal, even if a lazy one.
