Sam Hyde is a YouTube comedian who is involved in Million Dollar Exchange.
He’s many things, depending on who you ask (namely 4chan’s /pol/ imageboard). But he’s not a mass shooter, and he’s not a cop.
On Tuesday night, users (most likely from /pol/) were spreading rumors and pictures of Hyde, who is from Massachusetts, on Twitter en masse following the shooting death of Alton Sterling in Louisiana. Another hoax that was being spread simultaneously was that Robert Kinnison, a name that also pops up each time there’s a mass shooting or an incident, was the officer involved in the shooting.
