HEY INTERNET! THIS IS NOT THE OREGON UMPQUA SHOOTER!

Some blogs will post anything just to get hits, no matter how un-credible their ‘report’ really is. Personally I hate that. We try to vet as much of our stuff as we possibly can so that we don’t spread false rumors, especially about people related to such a horrible massacre as this.

So we haven’t posted anything related to the 4chan rumors, nor the guy known as ‘Egg Man’ who some blogs are suggesting committed this mass murder. Because everything we’ve seen so far just doesn’t look credible.

You know, ABC News did this several years ago and we crucified them for it. Perhaps some blogs should apologize like ABC News was forced to do.

In any event, there is one blog who is trying to get the truth out that this Toby Reynolds, aka ‘Egg Man’, is NOT THE SHOOTER. Kudos to Fire Andrea Mitchell for alerting us to this.

See NBC News reporter Tom Winter’s tweet below:

I’m not going to post pictures of Toby Reynolds that are going around the internet because I don’t want to do anymore damage to him. But he’s a white dude and his face kinda looks like an egg, which I guess is why he goes by ‘Egg Man’ on 4chan.

So just to point his out again, HE IS NOT THE SHOOTER.

When we know the name of the shooter and more credible details about what actually happened, we will be sure to bring them to you as quick as humanly possible. Otherwise, ignore the trashy rumor mill on the internet. It’s just a waste of time.
