January 1st, the near-times ran a story about a seven-year-old girl who was killed and would appear to be a racially motivated hate crime.

Sean King pushed this story to his over one million followers offering a reward for information about a 40-year-old white man with a beard driving a red pickup truck.

But as it turns out, the white man wasn't one of the suspects and they arrested Eric Black Jr.

Many people argue that Sean King only pushed the story because of the racial aspect of it, but the main issue isn't what Sean King did so much as the ramifications.

This is the third time in the past several months that Sean King has pushed out a false story that may have actually gotten innocent people hurt.

And what we're seeing beyond this is the young Turks are now deleting their videos where they talked about the issue.

Today, let's take a look at what happened with the story of Jasmine Barnes, this innocent young girl who was killed, and let's take a look at the ramifications of the rise of internet vigilantism.

They said the authorities who said the shooting appeared random and unprovoked were searching Monday for her killer.

The seven-year-old Jasmine Barnes is a second grader at a Houston area elementary school enter death in the family's car early one morning over the holidays, unnerved and perplexed the community.

The authorities described the gunmen as a white man in his 40s with a beard wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt and driving a red pickup truck.

The image of a white man suddenly firing on a black family raised questions about whether the shooting had been racially motivated.

Sheriff Gonzalez said the authorities had not established a motive and could not discount the possibility of a hate crime.

And that's exactly what we saw Sean King push out.

Urgent, all hands on deck.

A 40-year-old white man with a beard and a red pickup truck pulled up on seven-year-old Jasmine Barnes and her family near a Houston Walmart and shot and killed her and injured others.

He said he was joining the search for a killer and offered a $25,000 reward.

The difference between what the authorities said and what Sean King said is that Sean King said it was definitive.

A 40-year-old white man with a beard did this.

While the authorities said that was their suspect.
