>Juvenile pranksters from 4chan have made violent threats against three different school districts in Texas, Minnesota, and Virginia using online reporting tools intended for people to anonymously report bad behavior.
>These series of threats, which are loosely nicknamed “Operation Ricardo,” began on the evening of April 24 with First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach.
>Users from 4chan’s /b/ imageboard, a dumping ground for the Internet’s most obscene content, accessed a link to First Colonial’s Google Form that was supposed to be for parents and students to anonymously “report anything suspicious, dangerous, or illegal.”
>Instead of using the Google Form for good, one student from First Colonial goaded 4chan users to “go full trolling with it.” The name Ricardo has been used in many of the submissions as the fictional shooter.
...
>More than 60 different threats and jokes were submitted using the First Colonial Google Form.
>I reached out to First Colonial on May 26 after the school removed the link to the form. Vice Principal David Judge was aware of the threats but declined to comment further until he discussed the matter with the school’s media official. The school was open Tuesday with an added police presence, reported ABC’s 13newsnow.
>Anonymous 4chan pranksters expanded their scope of the prank to the Spring Branch Independent School District in Texas and Chicago Lakes School District in Minnesota Tuesday.
>The threats against each district were very similar. The following is a screengrab of a threat intended for May 2 using Spring Branch’s website.
>Pranks such as these have been a cornerstone of 4chan since it launched on Oct. 1, 2003.
>In October 2015, the website was implicated in the mass shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College after a thread on the site’s imageboard /r9k/ foreshadowed the incident, Salon reported.
>Other notable pranks perpetrated by anonymous 4chan users are the bikini bridge hoax, free bleeding, and “iPhone Wave,” which tried to convince people to charge their phones in a microwave.
When the fuck are people gonna grow the fuck up?

>4chan implicated in the mass shooting at Oregon...
What the fuck does that even mean?
>>42260
i dont know.. just go with it
>>42260
Some guy on /r9k/ went said to stay out of colleges in the northeast a day before the shotting happened.
That's where the classic "some of you are alright don't go to x location tomorrow" meme originated from,
Who is this 4chan?
>>42246
Well obviously Forbes is just goading them into doing it even harder, no doubt to get a bigger story.
Fucking parasites.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, moving on

>>Users from 4chan’s /b/ imageboard, a dumping ground for the Internet’s most obscene content
what year is this? /b/ is facebook with porn
>>42253
I keep getting older but 18 year olds never change.
I heard of the troll on reddit.
I guess Forbes accused reddit of being behind the rate of unlike/like of the trailer of the new Ghostbusters (4 unfunny girls at the lead, it's misogyny if people don't love it), so now it's 4chan's turn.
>>42246
It would've been fine if some fedora-tipping faggot hadn't sent in a warning to the school that "the hacker known as 4chan" was on to them.
Seriously fuck you summer faggots. This is why we need to bring /i/ back.

Idiots (feminists mostly) perpetrated those. That was good old fashioned stupidity we pushed along
>>42581
>The hacker known as 4chan
This kid was obviously memeing lad
>>42272
another case of /b/ copying /r9k/ because people on /b/ are unoriginal faggots
>>42364
there are the occasional gore/rekt threads but other than that its full of 13 year old redditfags who think that /b/ is the only board on 4chan
>>42894
This. Fucking hate kids who browse/b/ and nothing else.
>>42904
They could be the same and browse the rest of the site too.
