It's good when liars get called out for their BS, but things can spiral out of control when no one checks the facts. In this case, this woman's posts were stole from her social media and put in a completely different and sinister context. No doubt, it would be a complete nightmare to be framed for animal abuse and have everyone just go with it without investigating if you're actually a criminal. 

Reporter Marshall Allen shared a recent viral Twitter thread about a story he covered that makes for one true emotional rollercoaster. This story involves a shady personal trainer/terrible dad who spent years posing as a doctor and billing the nation's top insurers, while scamming millions in the process. It's being referenced as a case study in how health insurers make it easy to scam millions off of people. All around a deeply unsettling story. 

Police in Galveston, Texas issued an apology after their officers on horseback were seen leading a black man by rope through the streets on Saturday. The 43-year-old man Donald Neely was arrested for criminal trespassing after having been warned by the cops a few times. 

Police claim that the two patrolmen didn't have any "malicious intent", and hadn't tied his hands with rope, but the picture circulating on news outlets suggests otherwise, and actually, it really just confirms that this was an unbelievable kind of cruel. 

The attorney for Mr. Neely's family says that the man is homeless and bipolar. His family hadn't seen him for several years until the photo went viral online. 

This frightened woman's story about being followed ended up going viral, and serving as a powerful explanation for why women can be so "cold" and "standoffish" while out in public. It effectively challenges the dudes out there to think outside themselves, and consider how much weight their actions can carry to women, while they're out and about. 

Most people are basically decent. Almost all of us try really hard to be respectful to our family, friends, and even complete strangers. There's a general understanding that it's not good to inconvenience other people or make their lives harder. For one reason another, there are times when that it completely lost on some of us. The result is people being huge A-holes to the point where someone's trashiness is its own spectacle. These are some of those times. For more, check out these moments of extreme trashiness to max out your garbage-ometer.

A recent AskReddit thread has divorce lawyers, people that know divorce lawyers, and other people that have had their time in the court of law, sharing the most screwed they've ever seen someone in court. The stupidity runs strong in these cases of criminally dumb criminals. That and a little bit of heartlessness. 

Most of us are trying to get through the day while being kind to each other, but sometimes people just go f*ck it and act out of complete and utter selfishness. Here are instances of people being creepy, cruel and generally trashy for no good reason at all. For more trashiness, here are some trashy moments that belong on the garbage pile.
