Feds charge San Jose State grad student with hateful campus threat [View all]

SAN JOSE — A San Jose State University graduate student has been federally charged with posting a campus bomb threat in a restroom last fall that included swastikas as well as slurs and insults against Muslims, Asians and liberal causes, and authorities suspect he may be behind other instances that prompted mass panic and emptied classrooms.

Ziheng “Tony” Fang, 30, of San Jose, is being held in federal detention after being charged last Thursday with one count of false information and hoaxes related to a Nov. 5, 2025 discovery of a sheet of paper, contained in a plastic sleeve, posted on the wall of a men’s restroom in MacQuarrie Hall. The paper was titled “!Warning!” and threatened a “mass bomb” the following week, all in block letters.

The central threat on the notebook-sized white sheet was flanked by crudely drawn swastikas, and included the messaging, “This is a White nation.” It further called for deadly violence against Muslims and Chinese people, using a slur for the latter group.

How does someone get away with 14-21 instances like this over an 18 month period and not get caught until now?
