Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially on social media.

One of the most popular tweets after the capture of Dylann Roof, 21, the alleged Charleston church shooter, was a total lie, causing the tweeter to delete the tweet but only after it went viral.

“White privilege is murdering 9 people and then having the police give you a bullet proof vest but not handcuffs,” tweeted @PeterSHall.

Hillary blames Donald Trump for mass shooting at church; what, it’s not Bush’s fault?

The tweet was shared more than 22,000 times until Hall figured out, with the help (and by help I mean ridicule) of the Twiterverse, that Roof was cuffed and shackled.

Here is a sampling from Twitter:

@DeleMage @PeterSHall @SirStevieRogers that's someone else's arm behind him… He clearly has on handcuffs

Congratulation on all those retweets of your LIE @PeterSHall pic.twitter.com/YZTJyz4ZXu

.@PeterSHall how does it feel to push a false statement in an effort to further divide Americans already in pain? Great future for your kid.

@DWincl @PeterSHall His feet are also shackled.

Suspect was cuffed and I was wrong. Had to delete that handcuff tweet as RTs without reading following tweets were getting out of control.

Still Peter continued to hold on to his white privilege narrative.

Police find a black kid holding a fake gun and he gets shot. They come across an armed white guy, he gets escorted with a smile. Unreal.

Even if he does have cuffs on and it's only the vest, he's still doing better than, oh, Tamir Rice. Unbelievable.

@petershall That's your answer for a misleading post? I feel very sorry for you.

@PeterSHall It's common for cops *not* to shoot you when you don't resist or wave a gun at them.

— Arthur Kimes (@ComradeArthur) June 18, 2015

@PeterSHall You're complaining that the police didn't kill him? What.

— H S (@tph_hpt) June 18, 2015

@FilmLadd @AceofSpadesHQ @PeterSHall …and a belly chain, and leg irons. #NiceTry

@Dbright21 @PeterSHall he's embarrassing himself.

— Johnny Fallopian (@sliderblaze) June 19, 2015

@PeterSHall I mean, we can send a memo, but you need to make a decision.

— Jacob Ritter (@Mornscreek) June 18, 2015

@PeterSHall Not "if". Your tweet claiming he wasn't cuffed is a lie. You are now part of the problem.

@PeterSHall move the goal post much?
