"The threat was made in a language called Esperanto, and was translated by users, before alerting OSU Police."

I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan. Ohio State is one of our biggest rivals. Their football team has caused us a lot of grief over the last decade on the last Saturday of November. Still, Ohio State is a great university but... "je la 15 AN HORON"???..."Mi havas pafilojn kaj explodaĵojn en mia ĉambro, KIU mi uzos"??? Come on Buckeyes, study the proper use of the accusative!

I suppose it's a sign that Esperanto has reached some sort of critical mass in the US when one of us turns out to be a wanna-be school shooter.

Well, the guy is definitely no Auld - still can't use the accusative properly? The police should charge him with "use of je with the accusative ending".

The more tragic note is that no-one even understood it until running it through Google translate. Internacia linvgo...

I wonder what would have happened had the message been sent in the days before Google supported Esperanto.

Is a kontraŭfundamenta threat a real threat?
