His mom: “he’s innocent. He has severe depression and he was near suicide before his arrest” Yeah suicide by police. He threatened to bring an assault rifle. Also said all Jewish women should be raped and threatened to kill all Jewish men
If I understand correctly, there shouldn’t be a problem right? After all, a good guy with a gun will always save the day. Any weapons taken from him is a violation of his 2nd amendment rights isn’t it?
I personally agree with the idea of this guy getting his guns taken away and put in jail due to the glaring safety issues and risk. But why the fuck are conservatives here rooting for his 2nd amendment rights being taken?
Guns have nothing to do with it. It wouldn’t be any better if he made the same threats with a bomb. The issue is that he was making credible threats.

A 21-year-old student was arrested Tuesday for making “horrendous” anti-Jewish death threats at Cornell University that put the Ivy League campus on high alert over the weekend.
Patrick Dai, a junior majoring in engineering at the prestigious university, was named in a federal complaint charging him with posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications — which could land him in jail for up to five years.
The Pittsford, New York, native, whose parents say suffers from “severe depression”, was formally charged just hours after New York State Police troopers identified a person of interest over the online threats to “bring an assault rifle to campus.”
The disturbing messages, which came days after “F–k Israel” graffiti were scrawled on sidewalks at the upstate Ithaca campus, were revealed by university officials Sunday.
“The genocidal fascist zionist regime will be destroyed,” said one of the messages posted to a public forum.
You forgot to scroll down a little. Here’s the rest
“Rape and kill all the jew women before they birth more Jewish hitlers.”
Dai allegedly threatened to “shoot up 104 West,” a university dining hall that caters predominantly to kosher diets, and to “slit the throat” of any Jewish men he came across.
His parents, however, believe their son is innocent and fear he was on the brink of suicide just moments before his arrest. see also Who is Patrick Dai, Cornell student accused of threatening Jewish peers?
“My son is in severe depression. He cannot control his emotion well due to the depression. No, I don’t think he committed the crime,” his father, who asked that his name not be used, told The Post in a text message.
He sank into a deep depression in 2021 – just one year after he started his engineering studies at the prestigious school, his parents said – though they stressed he never had a history of violence.
“He was always very nice to society, well organized, helpful to my family and his classmates before 2021,” his father said. “He told us he lost his life goal and motivation … As parents, we tried to give him more love.”
Dai, who took two semesters off at the suggestion of a doctor, stopped communicating with his parents just days before his arrest.
“My wife called him or sent messages to him many times but got no answers. She was worrying that he may commit suicide and drove to his apartment to see what happened,” his father said.
By the time she arrived at the Ithaca building, Dai had already been nabbed.
Joel Malina, Cornell’s vice president for university relations, confirmed in a statement Tuesday that a Cornell student was in custody, but did not name Dai.
“We remain shocked by and condemn these horrific, antisemitic threats and believe they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We know that our campus community will continue to support one another in the days ahead,” Malina said, adding that the school will maintain its “heightened security presence on campus.”
Dai was interrogated hours before his arrest after state police identified a “person of interest” in the disturbing case, Gov. Kathy Hochul revealed on X.
“When I met with Cornell students yesterday I promised them we would do everything possible to find the perpetrator,” she added.
“Public safety is my top priority and I’m committed to combatting hate and bias wherever it rears its ugly head.”
A rep for the New York State Police referred questions to campus cops.
Dai is charged with posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications — which could land him in jail for up to five years as well as a $250,000 fine.
He is scheduled to appear in federal court on Wednesday.
Pro-Palestinian unrest has surged at the state’s college campuses in the wake of the surprise attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 — and the subsequent counteroffensive in the Gaza Strip by the Jewish nation.
More than 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, were killed in the sneak attack earlier this month by the terrorists, with more than 200 others kidnapped, including some Americans.
On Tuesday, Hochul tapped Jonathan Lippman, a former chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals, to review the “policies and procedures related to antisemitism and discrimination at City University of New York campuses amid the unrest.
“The problem didn’t begin with the weeks following the Oct. 7 attacks,” Hochul said in making the announcement.
“It’s been growing on a number of campuses and seen most acutely in the City University of New York.”
Okay so having read this I’m not seeing anything anti-Jewish in it. The closest it gets is anti-Zionist which is a whole new package of things that aren’t within the definition of Judaism.
You left out most of the article. All the extremely anti-Semitic shit was below what you posted.

Is there more to the article? Sorry I must have missed it with the horribleness of that website.
Another favorite is when a non conservative is confronted by factual debate they like to say LMAO. This is the same thing as questioning the source. I think you would best describe it as childish behavior. You can’t factually debate so you just ignore the source and view everyone who doesn’t agree with you as irrelevant and actually nuts for daring to disagree with you.
LMAO
That was me. And I was making fun of your ridiculous claim that conservatives use facts to debate…when nobody in the comments is criticizing what you pretended they were. There was no liberal/conservative debate going on…you pulled it out of thin air
Do you see the irony here? I’ll check back in a few hours to see if you made a new top level comment because I’m assuming you won’t reply again
You can’t factually debate
Some “debates” are so stupid that it isn’t worth the effort, and a simple downvote or “LMAO” is better.
If a flat earther tries to debate me on something stupid, I’m probably going to leave it as something simple like a “LMAO” and leave it at that. This place isn’t much better about posting dumb things.
How many times are you going to bitch about this per thread?
Funny how it never changes. When someone on the Left cannot debate a point based on facts they question the source. While a Conservative is always willing to have a factual discussion regardless of the source. The source quoted may be bias as most of the media is but a Conservative can point out the actual provable facts and debate the issue. Those who scream “source” remind me of kids who do something wrong and have no answer to give except “the dog ate my homework”

HAHAHA we got a comedian over here, folks!
Lmao. You’re completely warped.
