4Chan Scumbag Warns They Will Attack "University Near Philadelphia" Today

A sick individual decided to use last weeks’ Umpqua Community College shooting and the alleged warning on 4Chan as a blueprint for another posting the infamous anonymous message board. The message, posted to /rk9/, threatens “a University near Philadelphia.” [lead image via Shutterstock]

Posting under the title “The Beta Rebellion has begun,” someone on 4chan wrote:

On October 4, 2015 at 1:00 PM CT, a fellow robot will take up arms against a university near Philadelphia. His cries will be heard, his victims will cower in fear, and the strength of the Union will decay a little more.

Philadelphia students should have little concern over the threat, and rest assured that the FBI is all over this post. We’re hoping they catch the scumbag who thought this was funny immediately.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the FBI Philadelphia Field Office notified local colleges and universities of a social media posting which threatened violence at a Philadelphia-area college or university for Monday, October 5,” the agency said in a statement.
“No specific college or university was identified in the posting. We encourage students, faculty, and employees at area colleges and universities to follow the guidance of their campus security officials. The FBI will continue to work with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to investigate threats of violence, and, as always, we ask the public to report suspicious activity to law enforcement.”
This post is just the latest in a series of messed up things to happen on 4chan. We don’t advocate the site should be shut down, but the anonymity given to the users should probably be pulled into question, or at least discussed.
In case the threat is pulled from the site, you can read the full, heinous post below:

“The first of our kind has struck fear into the hearts of America. His cries have been heard, even by the President.
This is only the beginning. The Beta Revolution has begun. Seen, more of our brothers will take up arms to become martyrs to this revolution.
On October 4, 2015 at 1:00 PM CT, a fellow robot will take up arms against a university near Philadelphia. His cries will be heard, his victims will cower in fear, and the strength of the Union will decay a little more.
If you are in that area, you are encouraged to stay at home and watch the news as the chaos unfolds. His sacrifice will echo throughout the nation.
I plead to thee, brothers! We only have but one chance, one spark, for our revolution. The United States will soon condemn us to the status quo forever, and soon after, the United Nations. Don’t let our one chance at writing history slip away. Martyr yourself for the cause or support those who have the courage to do so. We have the chance to make the world a better place for betas everywhere.
Hiro have mercy on us all. Lend us your strength to fight this evil.”
