There was a fake photo circulating online of Kevin Edward Clarke-McNeil at the height of today’s manhunt.
Someone decided it would be funny to post a similar photo of Clarke-McNeil on social media. The photo they posted was of American stunt man Chris Pontius, best known for his role in MTV’s stunt show Jackass.
Nova Scotians were just waking up and maybe not fully awake yet when they began sharing what was the questionable photo.
This is a perfect time to remember to be mindful of what you share online. Fake news travels fast as it did today.
