4Chan Helped FBI Prevent A School Shooting ... No, Really

4chan is the hero the interblag deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. It's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A troll.
One word: desensitization. Unfortunately due to pretty much anything being readily available/viewable on the internet everything which would have been previously deemed horrific slowly loses its impact.Mazty said:
They've also done this before. Some kid was planning to bomb his school and shoot it up, but he posted a picture to 4Chan without taking all his user data off it beforehand. Derp.
The ironic thing being that being a regular 4chan visitor probably provided the kiddie porn he needed to be convicted.
This news article assumes 4chan really has a singular agenda about anything. Despite whatever clique of 4chan was responsible for his conviction, I'm sure there were other cliques that heard of his idea of broadcasting a massacre live and were like, "AWESOME! DO IT!"

hehe, considering the people that goes there, they might have done it to troll the shit out of "Saad"Random Argument Man said:
and i would think that more than halve of the guys that "posted" in his thread were encouraging him
but i guess the rest had a momment of "enlightment"
hehehe
This isn't exactly the first time they've stopped a crime.
They're internet superheroes..... When they're not the villans..... It's complicated.

Is child porn pre-installed on people's computers these days? Anytime anyone is raided for anything at all, there always seems to be child porn on their computer.
