Cornell University student faces federal charges over antisemitic threats

A federal complaint identified the Cornell suspect as Patrick Dai, 21, charging him with posting threats to kill or injure another person using interstate communications. Federal prosecutors allege Dai threatened to stab and slit the throat of any Jewish men he saw on campus, to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish women, and to behead any Jewish babies. He also threatened to use an assault rifle to shoot Jewish people, the Justice Department said in a press release.
