Here's an example of people making up things
The "made up" comment: "The only other places where these mass shooting happens are in war zones and terrorists zones. That's the company America keeps."

July 22, 2011: At least 80 people are killed at a summer camp on the Norwegian island of Utoya. A man arrested also is suspected in a blast earlier the same day in downtown Oslo that killed seven. (This gunman, by the way, was sentenced to 21 years of preventive detention,)

April 30, 2009: Farda Gadyrov, 29, enters the prestigious Azerbaijan State Oil Academy in the capital, Baku, armed with an automatic pistol and clips. He kills 12 people before killing himself as police close in.

Sept. 23, 2008: Matti Saari, 22, walks into a vocational college in Kauhajoki, Finland, and opens fire, killing 10 people and burning their bodies with firebombs before shooting himself fatally in the head.

P.S. And the really sad thing is, when such "made up" comments are called-out and corrected, the person who made-up the comment will neither retract the comment, or change the mind-set that led to making the comment - and will, most likely, continue saying (and thinking) it.
