    This is in the beta rebellion thread

    "Some of you guys are alright. Don't go to school tomorrow if you're near Austin.

    happening thread will be posted later

    so long, space robots"

    I used to think these guys were only joking about this stuff, but after the Oregon shooting, these threats should be treated as legitimate. Stay safe UT CFers.

    I'm pretty sure I saw the exact same message regarding another city, suggesting they're spamming it around. Still, authorities can't take the chance to not investigate.

    I hope they find those responsible for the threats and throw them in prison. You have to be an awful, despicable person and a dreg of society to find amusement in making these threats.

    Scary. My friend's wife is a teacher in Austin. Hopefully it's a hoax.

    No, I can't remember which grade she teaches though. It doesn't seem like the poster indicated it was going to be a university.

    I just asked someone if they were from Austin and they said no.

    So I beat the **** out of them just to be safe.

    You can never be too safe.

    That's literally the point of the joke: freaking out grown ups based on info recent enough for a short attention span, while exerting as little effort as possible.

    This goes beyond trolling. 4chan attracts a lot of the mentally deranged.
