Cornell University activists are threatening student government representatives who voted against disarming the campus police.

On Nov. 19, Cornell's student government voted by a 15-14 margin not to disarm the campus police. Following the failed resolution, activists took to social media to harass and threaten the representatives who opposed the bill. After a member of the student government posted the full names of each opponent in a group text for students of color, activists plastered the list on Instagram and Twitter, resulting in an onslaught of threats.

Joe Anderson, a former student government president, called on his peers to fight the representatives who rejected disarming the police. "And when I say fight, literally fight them, I can't stand those ugly people," Anderson said.

Another student, who goes by the Twitter name "Youssanta claus," said he wanted to beat up a non-voting member of the student government, but was unable to identify him because "all these white men looked the same."

The member in question, Zion Sherin, faced a torrent of abuse in an online student government meeting following the vote, a video of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "Zion I will beat your a—, please put your address in the chat," one student yelled. "Suck my a—," another said.

A lot of these people aren’t kids. Some probably aren’t even students. Many are foreigners, and there are probably some illegal immigrants in the mix.
