The post online reportedly references an academic paper that has gone through "plagiarism checks" but still requires "a second defence", according to translations.
It then discusses using a "kitchen knife" to attack people in the cafeteria, as per the translation.
The person who posted the deranged social media message talked about "stabbing a few" people and accused "everyone who stands by" as being "complicit".
