Former Lincoln County Sheriff's deputy, Kenneth L. Hatch III has pleaded guilty to 20 counts of sexual assault on three women aged 16 and one girl age six. 


What a POS right? Right, but what's even worse than his actions are how the court has handled his case. The former 'Deputy of the Year', yup, you read that right, will only be charged with a Class D misdemeanor and will serve no jail time, yet he will pay the court a $1,000 fine. In exchange for his guilty plea, he will be banned from police work for life and will serve a 6-month probation. 



This is how the Lincoln County sheriff's office responded to the case. 


“This has been a trying time for all of us here at the sheriff’s office and a black mark on law enforcement across our state,” Brackett wrote in a Jan. 9 release, saying Hatch’s “long and decorated career” had come to “an unfortunate end.”


Yes, unfortunate indeed, that a decorated police officer would molest young girls and let kids party at his house. But you know what's even more unfortunate, that Mr. Hatch won't serve jail time and will be free from any further charges regarding this case. 


“He agreed to accept the misdemeanor for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol because he agreed to let his kids drink alcohol on his property, and obviously he knew other kids were there,” Elliott said. “He thought it would be safer to do it on his property than for them to be out driving around.”


Bravo justice system, bravo.

5 Funny And Controversial Memes From January

2018 is off to an amazing start.

Today is February 1st, 2018 and so far this year we have seen some pretty solid memes. It's been a flurry this past month, with a number of crazy stories and viral memes, you'd wouldn't be alone if you thought it was all a little too much to handle. From eating laundry detergent to suicide forest videos a lot has happened. So here are the best memes from month 1 of 2018. 



1. Logan Paul



Logan Paul started the new year off right but uploading a vlog of himself and his cronies walking through Japan's suicide forest, where they came upon an actual dead guy (go figure) and later uploaded it to his YouTube channel. Since the videos release Logan has mostly stayed off social media but we can expect him back to his old ways sooner than later. 



2. Eating Tide PODS



Eating Tide PODS took the Internet by storm this month as kids (on purpose) and old people (by mistake) consumed more Tide PODS than a Hilton Hotel after spring break. The meme began as a light-hearted twist on the age-old "drinking bleach' meme but soon spun out of control. People began dabbing them and ultimate, the Tide POD challenge was born. 



3. Ugandan Knuckles



Ugandan Knuckles is a much more niche meme and for those unfamiliar, with the game VRChat it may seem stupid, but if you ask someone in the know they will gladly 'show you de wae'. Knuckles was created as a game avatar in VR Chat, which soon took the game by storm as everyone brigaded the game with their Ugandan accents and desire to find 'The Queen". 



4. Connect Four


The connect four meme comes from the real-life tabletop game where players try to 'connect four' before their opponent. The meme is absurdist by nature and urges people to photoshop a ridiculous version of the original game. A silly and easy to associate meme with little real-life context other than to be absurd. 



5. Somebody Toucha My Spaghet 



Somebody Toucha My Spaget comes from the 1939 cartoon, The Three Bears, which is a retelling of the old story, Goldilocks, and The Three Bears, yet instead, this version features a family of bears with thick Italian accents and instead of an unwanted visitor eating their porridge, it's spaghetti.
