Cornell University has pulled the plug on its classes this Friday — essentially saying everyone’s stressed out — after a student was arrested for threatening to kill Jewish students on campus.<\/p>\n
The school will observe community day Friday “in recognition of the extraordinary stress of the past few weeks” — this after Cornell junior, 21-year-old Patrick Dai<\/strong> was charged with threatening to kill Jews.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New York prosecutors say Dai threatened to harm and\/or kill Cornell’s Jewish students … boasting online he’d “shoot up” Cornell’s 104 West dining hall, which is predominantly kosher … adding he planned to bring an assault rifle to campus.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The FBI quickly jumped on the case and found antisemitic messages on an online discussion forum, which were written under a username that referenced Hamas.<\/p>\n While the account didn’t have Dai’s name attached to it, federal investigators were able to pin him as the suspect by tracking the account’s IP address.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dai was interviewed by the FBI Tuesday … and allegedly admitted to having posted the comments. He appeared in federal court Wednesday but didn’t enter a plea.<\/p>\n The threats on campus come after Hamas first attacked Israel<\/strong> in the Middle East — which has been followed by death, destruction, and political unrest … not just overseas, but in the U.S. as well.<\/p>\n
