how would you deal with somebody like lenore?

lenore, let's face it, is a phukking kunt. tenacious, malicious, manipulative, deceitful and unpredictable, she's too smart and too fugging cold to deal with like you would with a normal person.

due to these characteristics dealing with her would require skills i do not yet possess.

the way i see it there are several options, none of which are ideal. let's look at them one by one -

*legal action - don't know how this would work. calling the cops obviously wouldn't be smart. maybe a restraining order or something if you could prove she was a risk. but obviously any legal action would be very risky, calling attention to the 'business' and tanya and ray's lives in general. of course lenore would waste no time going public with the story of the female pimp and her male hooker.

*phuk her sh!t up - they know where she lives, going to her house, robbing her, smashing up her place etc. this might result in a tit for tat retaliation, each bigger, or worse, that the one before. lenore's used to that kind of thing and therefore better at it. wouldn't want to get into that with her. could escalate very quickly.

*cut her in - pay her off. give her a percentage and have done with it. i have strong objections to this option. even if business were booming my principles would balk at giving that reptile the foam off my coffee.

*send a couple of goons to work her over - this, in my opinion, would be the best option. despite the fact that it would be obvious to lenore who had arranged the beating- opening up the possibility of her putting an end to the illegal business, or perhaps staging a vengeful retaliation- physical pain and the ruination of her beauty may be enough to put her off, perhaps send her packing to another city, and good riddance. perhaps just the threat of violence, a bloody good scare, might do it.
i realise this wouldn't fit with the general vibe of 'hung' but that doesn't matter. it needn't be lenore, ray and tanya we're discussing, just that kind of person in general.



i'd love to hear any more suggestions or even real life stories of how you've dealt with psychos in your own life.


edit- i wrote much of this before i saw the last couple of episodes ... i know that now lenore may or may not have been taken care of by someone with bigger balls than tanya but it was after getting 3/4 of the way through season 3 that i started to mull this problem over.
