About
"Some of You Guys are Alright, Don't go to School Tomorrow" is an expression uttered by a 4chan poster believed to be Umpqua Community College shooter Chris Harper-Mercer, warning /r9k/ readers not to attend school the following day if they lived in the Northwest United States. Following the shooting, many 4chan users posted mock warnings using variations of the phrasal template "Some of you guys are alright, don't go to X tomorrow."
Origin
On October 1st, 2015, a mass shooting took place at Umpqua Community College near Roseburg, Oregon. Chris Harper-Mercer, a 26-year-old student, fatally shot nine people and injured nine others before killing himself following a gun battle with responding police officers. Following the shooting, many revealed that a poster on the board /r9k/ submitted a thread warning students living in the Pacific Northwest to "not go to school the next day" one day prior, leading many to speculate that it was the shooter (shown below).
Spread
On October 4th, 2015, an anonymous 4chan user posted a warning for viewers to avoid "the general store" if they were in "Edgeville," referencing a town in the MMORPG Runescape (shown below).
The following day, a 4chan user posted a warning to students in Austin, Texas (shown below). Also on October 5th, Redditor Kossa2013 posted a screenshot of the post to the /r/UTAustin[1] subreddit. In the coming days, other 4chan users began posting mock warnings using the phrasal template "some of you guys are alright, don't go to X tomorrow," featuring substitutions with a variety of references, including historical events, fictional characters and video games.
