People are sad and angry and looking for a scapegoat. And unfortunately for someone bearing the alleged killer’s Twitter handle, they found one.

UPDATE: This post has been updated to remove the name of the alleged killer as his brother was mistakenly identified initially and the actual killer’s name doesn’t deserve to be published. Click here to read the names of his innocent victims, mostly six and seven year olds.
