I hope someone breaks a bottle over your skinny little dome at your next show.

This week, the strange tale of Kari Ferrell, the “Hipster Grifter,” came to an end, as so many things do, in Philadelphia, with her arrest this week. Initial reports stated that she had turned herself in to authorities, but in a recent post at the City Paper weblog, local musician Sam Tremble takes credit for setting up the bust.

In the comments, there is a perfect storm of anti-hipster rage, class warfare and anti-snitching sentiment. Let’s go to the tape-

That’s totally rock and roll, man, working with the cops to set people up for a bust. Good work, crime stopper.

Um, since when does Philly like snitches? Impressed, yet surprised. I’m guessing dudes in an emo, not punk, band!

pretty slick pal. Now you get your headline publicity too. I´m really surprised you didn´t name check your band 50 times. Guess you figure it´s even cooler to get the google hits on your name. Fucking losers. Both of y´all. enjoy yr 15 minutes. That´s all you´re gonna get.

Wow, your folks must be so proud. They raised a snitch. And you look like your bands sucks.

You’re a rat fuck, Tremble. Ratting some girl out that didn’t even do anything to you, just to get your ugly mug in the papers. I hope someone breaks a bottle over your skinny little dome at your next show.

Dear Sam Tremble a.k.a. The Hipster Snitcher,

You expect us to believe your motives for setting her up to be arrested were because “she wasted (your) time and energy with her cancer stories”? You’re a prick who wants attention. I’m in no way a Kari Ferrell fan but I’d rather have her around then you any day.

I can’t wait to tomato your band. I can’t wait to watch what everyone else does too!

And stop shopping in the juniors department you dick.

She isn’t rich. Plenty of semi-rich people or people who forge things on their cc apps lie and have debt up to and above $60,000. Should we set them up too?

“Bloviation?” You’re an f***ing douche. You sent a girl to jail and then blogged about it. What a proud moment for you.

Sam Treble is such an ugly deuchebag, even Kari probably didn’t want to fuck him, or take his $, which is why he snitched on her and went to such great lengths to set her up. What a weasel.

Can I call him a deuchebag anymore times? Sam, get a fucking nosejob and buy a grown man’s shirt.

Maybe we are taking it out on the wrong criminal here.
Why aren’t we posting the pictures of the CEOs of major corporations that stole and lied from us on the most wanted lists? I’m a lot more hurt about them and their lies and cons.

Where was her bail out?

So what if she lied about cancer, and didn’t have money. We aren’t all so fortuate to have it ALL together ALL the time. We all make mistakes.
If she had a little more trust and compassion given to her maybe she would have turned it all around gotten a job and paid off her debt – like other people do with credit cards.

She’s totally like Robin Hood or something! A folk hero, like Winona Ryder!

I guess no one with cancer stories will cross you again!

Lol, bitch ass snitch. Like you’re fucking perfect? Die in a fire, snitch.

Avalon’s Willow? You’re in Philadelphia? Let’s get drinks! We’ll hit Fat Jack’s, get some comics. Call me.

of course it was a hipster who dropped the dime on her. god hipsters are scum

Snitch-ass Bitch-ass Tremble! I implore all insecure Asian woman (and men for that matter) to start preying on these hipster assbags. Non-Asians too. Hipsters are a bain upon society. It’s hard for a regular guy like myself to enjoy record shopping, going to the movies, or simply having a smoke outside without having to listen to these tools go on about Calexico or Jarmusch or whatever.

I have to admit- his taking the photo, writing the post- I almost agree with a couple of these folks, but the whole thing, top to bottom, from Mr. Tremble to the commenters, is filled with high levels of jerkitude. I think we can agree that they all need to get off the internet.

People who commit crimes deserve what’s coming to them. People who help police solve crimes are to be commended. But this? This is shameless egotistic self-gratification parading around as civic duty. Congrats – everyone knows who you are now, Sam! And isn’t that what you really wanted in the first place?

Well, okay- except for that dude. That actually made some sense.
