A Cornell University student government vote on whether to take guns away from campus police officers has descended into threats of violence against students who voted against the measure.
On a 15-14 vote, Cornell’s student government defeated a resolution calling for the disarming of campus police. The measure was sought by liberal activists who consider the police a violent threat against the poor and minorities, even though Cornell’s students are largely white and among the richest in America.
“The policing system in America is rooted in racism, slavery, corruption, and violence, particularly against Black and Brown people, which has been commonplace since the institution’s inception,” the resolution begins, which was written by students who can afford Cornell’s $59,000-a-year tuition.
“American law enforcement as we know began as slave patrols and union busters,” the resolution reads, which is not true.
The resolution also claims police were created to enforce “Ugly Laws” to prevent disabled people from appearing in public. That is also not true.
The resolution continues for five pages, making completely fake claims and engaging in bizarre conspiracy theories.
The mentally unhinged resolution, which has no actual policymaking ability, lost by one vote.
That’s when liberals resorted to their first tool of persuasion: bloodthirsty mob violence.
Enraged by someone telling them “no,” liberals posted the names and contact information for student representatives who voted against it, leading to them being targeted with threats.
Among those leading the calls for violence was Cornell’s former student body president.
“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,’” The Washington Free Beacon reports.
The psychotic threats appear to be working. After being targeted, one student representative who voted “no” now wants to change his vote, which could pass the symbolic measure.
