Welp. So much for being decent human beings today. /pol/ has arrived on scene and they're already spreading disinformation saying Sam Hyde is the suspect in #Parkland school shooting.

Yes, they are. But that’s what gets the clicks these days…

Well darn it, I became a morality tale on myself. I didn’t look closely enough at the account we posted – it wasn’t the official O’Reilly account.

So there you go, I proved my point twice over – don’t go posting stuff unless you’ve verified it. Stupid Mexican!!!
