ITHACA, N.Y. — A person is in custody in connection with a series of antisemitic online threats made against Cornell University’s Jewish community, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement Tuesday.
“Earlier today, law enforcement identified a person of interest as part of the investigation and this individual is currently in the custody of the New York State Police for questioning,” Hochul said in Tuesday’s statement, adding public safety was a “top priority” and that she was “committed to combatting hate and bias wherever it rears its ugly head.”
The online messages surfaced Sunday and included threats to shoot Jewish students at the 104 West building, which houses their kosher dining hall, and messaging encouraging others to harm Jews, according to the school’s student newspaper, The Cornell Daily Sun.
“When I met with Cornell students yesterday, I promised them New York State would do everything possible to find the perpetrator who threatened a mass shooting and antisemitic violence on campus,” Hochul said in Tuesday’s statement.

Let me guess, his name is Adhmed, or Mohammed

The only question is which college will this terrorist turd worlders get a professorship.
These Ivy Leaguers are all about status and feeling superior. In addition to legal consequences, the University should expel them and put the reason for expulsion on their permanent transcript. IF they can get into community college after that, they might actually learn something.
Finally, a meaningful moment for Hochul. Thankfully her name was mentioned in nearly every sentence just to be sure.
Did she mention if the person has tenure?
If Palistinians or their supporters are making threats then arrest them. If they’re being total A-holes it’s part of our freedom of speech ... then debate them or ignore them or don’t hire them.
But don’t pull in the state.
The biggest danger to Jews or Trump supporters or any group is when the force and power of ‘the State’ is used against them. Whether ‘that State’ is Germany or our own FBI, DOJ and IRS right here at home.
Individual idiots like college students just need to be debated. And discredited. And corrected on their BS. You turn to them and say, ‘It’s an effing lie that Israel hit the hospital’... then you give proof. You do that with every piece of garbage that falls out of their mouths.
I’m NOT interested in our county having to give up our freedom of speech for ANY group. Period.
Jews can fight back verbally. It’s what Trump supporters have been doing for over 6 years. AND WE’RE THE PEOPLE WITH THE POWER OF THE STATE BEING USED AGAINST US. Any day I’d switch to a bunch of ANTIFA and BLM rioters using mean words against us.
Michelle Watson and Dakin Andone need to understand this:

I think this passed the threshold of free speech when it crossed over to online threats.
Yes
He was wearing a red hat and was shouting, this is MAGA country. /s
What was his handle on DU?
All of the IVY LEAGUE Schools have taken money from terrorists states. It’s just payback time now.
“‘It’s an effing lie that Israel hit the hospital’... then you give proof.”
And when you pick yourself up and off the floor from the punch in the mouth you just received maybe you will realize that these are not rational students.
Hamas is the enemy and giving aid and comfort to the enemy negates the 1st amendment.
Very different reporting between this case, and the case of the person who threatened the Nevada Senator. In that latter case his name was released right away.
My first thought as well.
