University spokeswoman Shannon Tirone (TEYE’-rohn) says staff discovered the messages when they arrived on campus Monday morning. The messages on the rock outside of the Kilcawley Center read: “We are coming,” ”France Deserves Destruction” and “YSU supports ISIS.”
Tirone says employees painted over the messages with white paint and some students plan to re-paint the rock with an American flag.
Tirone says the university doesn’t believe the messages indicate any credible threat. But she says campus police have reached out to other law enforcement authorities and are searching for the person or persons responsible. The university also is reviewing campus security footage.

The swine that did this must be expelled from the school and deported.
Its time to drop a small nuclear ordinance on ISIS.
I’ve always felt that Youngstown was a prime target for a Muslim terror attack. It is widely known as a center of…um..something and so is symbolically important.
we know that ISIS is already among us,and they must be dealt with as acts of war not bias crimes which is laughable but so sad
