Colleges and universities in and around Philadelphia are bolstering police patrols today after federal agencies notified them of a threat made on an Internet post.

The threat was posted Friday on 4chan, the same website that carried postings threatening a school in the "northwest" the day before nine people were slain at an Oregon college, a law-enforcement source with knowledge of the Philly threat confirmed to the Daily News.

"This is only the beginning, . . . " the Philly-area threat says. "On October 5, 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."

No one shot as of yet. He seems to have missed his deadline. Or it was a bad joke, and 4chan is the anus of the internet...

There would be less “cowering in fear” and fewer victims if honest competent men were allowed to carry sidearms. That Professor and the eight students slaughtered in Oregon may still be alive if that heroic veteran who was severely wounded trying to stop the lunatic had been armed.

Your point cannot be emphasized enough or often enough.

“Or it was a bad joke...”

That doesn’t explain a remark made before things happened. I hope the FBI (or whoever) is pursuing this.

And why would they call a murderer a “robot”, that certainly implies being controlled by another.

Slaughtered, while a harsh word, is a very accurate description of what happened in Oregon.
