  • Vaccine skepticism

    In 2009, Carrey wrote an article questioning the merits of vaccination for The Huffington Post.[149] With former partner Jenny McCarthy, Carrey led a “Green Our Vaccines” march in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the removal of “toxic substances” from children’s vaccines, out of a belief that children had received “too many vaccines, too soon, many of which are toxic”.[150] The rally was criticized by David Gorski, an American surgical oncologist on Science-Based Medicine blog, for being anti-vaccine and not “pro-safe vaccine”,[151] and by Steven Parker on the WebMD website for being “irresponsible”.[152]

    On July 1, 2015, after the signing of a new vaccination law, Carrey called California Governor Jerry Brown a “corporate fascist” who was “poisoning” children by enacting the vaccination requirements.[153] The law disallowed religious and philosophical reasons for exemption from vaccination. Carrey was criticized for being “ignorant when it comes to vaccines” by Arthur Caplan, head of the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University,[154] and by Jeffrey Kluger, senior writer at Time, who described his anti-vaccination statements as “angry, dense and immune to reason”.[155]

  • MOULTON, Ala. – A fake mug shot posted by the Moulton city police department has garnered a lot of social media attention.

    “I was very surprised. I think we are up to 6,000 shares,” said Officer Russell Graham.

    Russell Graham is a Moulton City Police officer.

    On Tuesday, he posted this photo along with other mug shots on the police department’s Facebook page.

    “It just looked humorous to me, there were several that I went through and I said there’s our guy,” explained Officer Graham.

    Graham wrote on the photo’s caption that “Barry Larry Terry” was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of a wild raccoon and no headlamp on bicycle.

    “I can’t tell you where it came from I was just like I was just like ‘That looks like a Barry Larry Terry.'”

    Graham says the other mug shots he posted were real, but this one was just a joke.

    But what’s not entirely satire about the post, “There’s actually a law possession of wild animals. I don’t think it specifically says wild raccoon, but I just added that in there and here we are.”

    Graham says the post was intended humanize the badge. He says he’s seen other law enforcement Facebook pages do similar posts.

    “Across the world law enforcement officers are seen in a bad light. They’re seen as robots so to speak, supposed to be serious. We were trying to project a little humor, and hopefully build a little rapport with the citizens that come across the page,” Graham explained.

    The photo has been taken off the Facebook page, but the viral idea isn’t going away so easily.

    A Facebook user-created a page called “Free Barry Larry Terry” that is bringing voice to the convict and his furry friend.

    One of the posts on the new page says “Can somebody come down here to the city jail. Put $5 on a my books and brang me some smokes.”

    Reddit users also found the mug shot, and Mr. Terry is catching a lot of attention there.

    The department recently posted that they now have more likes than the city’s population.

    ACAB.

    Yeah, the thing about this asshole is that he has no sense of humor. There’s no way he doesn’t mean it. And the fact that he proudly displays this in the fucking whitehouse is most troubling indeed. Best case scenario, he means one of his idiot sons, but let’s be real about who we’re dealing with here.
