This isn't the first time something like this has happened on 4chan.

Despite being the only type of material that is meant to be banned from the site, child porn is regularly posted. ‘Pranks’ have included taunting the family of a suicide victim, starting bomb and school shooting scares, encouraging young fans of the singer Justin Bieber to harm themselves and triggering a false rumour that Apple founder Steve Jobs had died of a heart attack.
Anyone who offends the 4chan community or other cheerleaders for the out-of-control internet can expect revenge attacks. Ater the credit card companies Visa and Mastercard stopped handling donations to the whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks, they were targeted by on-line vigilantes who managed to crash their websites.
Indeed, many members of the sinister mask-wearing international vigilante hacking group Anonymous started out as 4chan members.
Most of 4chan’s most offensive content is posted on its digital message board, called /b/, where members call themselves ‘/b/tards’ and live up to the title with displays of vicious misogyny.
Countless pages are devoted to ‘revenge porn’ — once the unpleasant practice of posting publicly compromising photos of an ex-lover, this is now a catch-all term for any compromising photos of women published online without their consent.
An even more revolting trend is for so-called ‘creepshots’, in which men try to photograph the bodies of women or girls — often under-age — whom they have seen out in public.

I love how they try to make 4chan look scarier than it actually is. The whole of /b/ is literally just porn, YLYL threads and shitposts.

Im glad I never went to that site. There's something off about almost everyone there.

While it isn't "dangerous", it sure as fuck is retarded.

Can't disagree with you. I remember this one time some girl ended up getting trolled there and went on good morning America.

Now there's going to be a flood of fucking normies on all my boards.

/r9k/ is why I own guns.

"It is truly disturbing that there are such hotheaded individuals in this day and age. We need more funding for law enforcement so that when these fires rise, people like the CIA can help us to get these hotheads out of here."
