Rules for outbursts at Caddo School Board Meeting

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The Cornell University student accused of posting anti-Semitic threats online pleaded guilty Wednesday, April 10, in Federal Court.

The 21-year-old junior has since been diagnosed with Autism, which his public defender offers as context to his mental state.

Dai was charged with Making a Threat Using Interstate Communications based on allegations he posted messages online calling for the deaths of Jewish people.

Dai admitted to posting the following threats:

  • “gonna shoot up 104 West”
  • Threatened to “stab” and “slit the throat” of Jewish males on campus
  • Rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish females
  • Behead Jewish babies
  • “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews”

Many plea deals come with agreed-to sentences, but not in federal court. His time in prison will be up to the judge.

Dai grew up in Pittsford, a suburb of Rochester.
