Only days after the massacre at the Orlando nightclub Pulse, a direct threat to the LGBT community of San Diego appeared on Craigslist, reports the Los Angeles Times. 
The posting, which briefly appeared in the site’s men seeking men section on Tuesday, announced, “San Diego you are next.” 
It also read, “Orlando was long overdue. Cleanse your community of the filth that gives decent gay men and women a bad name. Those people were walking diseases, bug chasers, and thank god for AIDS and 9-11 and now Orlando.”
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, accompanying the message was an image of a gun being fired. 
The San Diego Police Department is investigating the matter and, in the wake of Orlando, has increased security at popular gathering spots, reports KGTV. 
Also noted by the department is that at this time there are no known credible threats to the community.
