Massive Fail: Stupidest Man on the Internet, Jim Hoft, Falls for Another Hoax, Identifies Wrong Man as Oregon Shooter
DERPNobody will ever accuse Jim Hoft, the fabled Stupidest Man on the Internet, of checking his facts before going big with a story: REPORT=- Toby Reynolds Identified as Umpqua College Shooter - the Gateway Pundit.
Via Online reports—-
Toby Reynolds was identified today as the Umpqua College shooter.
Reynolds killed 12 people before being shot by police.
The shooting occurred on a gun-free campus with unarmed security guards.
Bzzzt! Wrong again, Jimbo!
Hoft has been taken in by the trolls of 4chan. According to NBC reporter Tom Winter, the person Hoft identified as the killer, Toby Reynolds, is alive and has contacted NBC.
The so called “Egg Man” or person who 4chan and other listed as the Oregon shooter is NOT him. He is alive and has communicated to NBC.

This is just one more fail in the voluminous annals of Jim Hoft failures. I wonder if he’ll bother to correct it this time?
Uh, Jim? Don’t you think you should retract your other post first? http://t.co/jyoTUPaJsK @gatewaypundit pic.twitter.com/TpaXXtCrAs
