Chinese grad student allegedly attempted to murder cop in California
The College Fix ^ | May 19, 2022 | Matt Lamb

A Chinese national at the University of California San Diego remains in prison on attempted murder charges.

Yuhao Du, a doctoral student at the public university, “entered a dual plea of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity,” according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.

“The defendant remains in custody on no bail status,” Public Affairs Officer Tanya Sierra told The College Fix via email. Du (pictured) will appear back in court on July 6.

An unsigned email from the university’s media relations team to The Fix stated that Du remained a student.

The university did not answer a question about Du’s citizenship status. However, the San Diego Union Tribune reported that Du is a “25-year-old Chinese national.”

The prosecutor accused Du of an “attempt to murder” a California Highway patrolman named Anthony Pacheco.

The criminal complaint, shared with The Fix by the county prosecutor’s office, stated that Du “intentionally and personally discharged a firearm” and committed assault against a law enforcement officer.

“On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, a California Highway Patrol officer was shot in the leg while investigating a crash on a San Diego area freeway,” the law enforcement agency stated on April 28. CHP shared the news release with The Fix.

Drag him slow behind a boat off the coast of northern CALIFORNIA. Lay a chum line. There’s things out there that are hungry. Saves court time, cleans up a mess. Feed a shark and save the planet.

I'm sure there are lots of hungry critters in the Atlantic as well, and save on shipping costs from Washington D.C., Florida,....

Hmm. Do they have Muskies in Lake Michigan for the miscreants from Chicago?

Somehow, I think the claim of not guilty by reason of insanity is going to be a tad more difficult to convince a jury of when the perp is a doctoral student.

It’s not that intelligent people can’t have mental health issues, but rather that someone with mental health issues does not seem likely to be able to hold life together enough to be a doctoral student.

Open borders will absolutely solve such problems. Even better would be a blanket amnesty. Let’s Go Brandon!!

Well.....that’s debatable.

Depends. If his field of study is psychology, it's likely a good defense. Psychology is a gravy major, ideally suited for lazy/stupid/mentally defective students. Ditto gender studies, black history, women's stuff....

He was clearly having some kind of psychotic episode, bad enough to attack a patrolman intending to help him.
He grabbed the officer’s gun and shot that officer in the leg.

I guess a cop has little choice in how he carries his gun. It has to be left unsecured and always ready to be pulled out in the line of duty.

This Chinese national just needs to be deported. We have enough problems with people who can’t control their rage.

I worked at a university and at least 40% of grad students were from China.
