From a Justice Division press release Monday:
Patrick Dai, 22, previously a junior at Cornell College and initially from Pittsford, New York, was sentenced in the present day to 21 months in jail, adopted by three years of supervised launch and a particular evaluation within the quantity of $100 for posting threats to kill or injure one other particular person utilizing interstate communications….
As a part of his beforehand entered responsible plea, Dai admitted that, on Oct. 28 and 29, 2023, he posted threatening messages to the Cornell part of a web based dialogue discussion board, together with posts that stated “gonna shoot up 104 west” (a eating corridor at Cornell College that caters predominantly to Kosher diets and is subsequent to the Cornell Jewish Heart that gives residential lodging for college kids) and “gonna bomb jewish home.” In one other put up, Dai threatened to “stab” and “slit the throat” of any Jewish man he noticed on campus, to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish ladies he noticed and to behead any Jewish infants. In that very same put up, Dai threatened to “carry an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews.”
Twenty-one months appears to me like a lightweight sentence for public threats of a number of homicide. However I am unsure what the norm in such circumstances is; maybe such sentences are frequent for such threats, at the very least for first offenders.
