Hot – U.S. Marshal Scott Malkowski and the Pennsylvania State Police
Children in Barrett Township, Pennsylvania almost did not get to go trick-or-treating this year. Trick-or-treating, along with the township’s Halloween parade had been canceled earlier in the month due to Eric Frein – a runaway murder suspect of Pennsylvania State Police officer Corporal Bryon K. Dickson II. However, thanks to Scott Malkowski and the Pennsylvania State Police, who captured Frein on Oct. 30, the festivities were back on and justice can be served.
Not – Instagram’s double standards
“If Instagram takes this down again, you’re saying Vladimir Putin has more 1st amendment rights than me,” is the caption that comedian Chelsea Handler chose to accompany a topless Instagram photo. The photo was a re-creation of a photo featuring a topless Vladimir Putin sitting on top of horse. After Instagram removed her photo for not following its community guidelines (no nudity), Handler fired back saying, “If a man posts a photo of his nipple, it’s ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?” She ultimately has taken a break from Instagram and told her followers to find her on Twitter instead.
