  1. What a lying little hoe. She had a party, they stole from her, and she didn’t realize til her mom got home.

    One call to the doorman and they would have kicked the kids out.

  2. On the teen vs WTC 1: I suspect it’s happened before. Was it last May(?) when it was reported that two men were seen on West St with parachutes in the early morning hours on a weekend? I think maybe even arrested? I’m still wondering if there’s footage somewhere of their obvious jump from WTC 1, if they’re stupid enough to release it. They probably snuck up there the same way as this kid
