A 21-year-old Cornell University junior was charged Tuesday for making online threats to Jewish students at the Ivy League school, authorities said.
Patrick Dai, a junior at Cornell, faces a charge of posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications, federal prosecutors in the Northern District of New York said.
In a post in an online discussion board, prosecutors said, the student allegedly threatened to “shoot up” a campus building. In another post, he said he he would “stab” or “slit the throat” of Jewish men, and rape or throw off a cliff Jewish women he encounters on campus, according to the prosecutors.
He also said he would behead Jewish babies and threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you” Jewish people, prosecutors said, attributing the words to Dai.
What a dumb-ass. And why would you throw your life away making threats to people who didn’t do anything to you? Just because you’re emotional about something that’s happening on the other side of the planet?
Yeah and he’s not Palestinian or something where he might have hatred due to strong personal ties, he’s an American dude going to an Ivy League school. It would be really interesting to see the garbage he’s been consuming on Facebook or elsewhere lately
The scumbags go looking for the stuff. They live crap lives and they’re depressed, and they want to blame someone so they pick someone who is completely blameless but can’t fight back.
Then they come up with some justification. If this war wasn’t happening he would have found someone else, probably falling back to islamophobia which is always a good one for a bit of mindless undirected aggression.
