Not where I thought it would be. To me that's South, not Southeast. I thought Indiana University Southeast would be near Cincinnati.

And, by the way, I lived in south central Indiana (Seymour) for my grade school and high school years - NEW ALBANY IS NOT SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA.

NEW ALBANY IS NOT SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA.


But IU Southeast was begun about 60 years ago in Jeffersonville — about 10 miles to the east. So it used to be more southeastern.

Bet some people are feeling pretty silly right now "sheltering in place" from an umbrella.

Why don't they just call it hide and wait to die?

All clear? So any thug who wants to can now safely attack students since they are now certified as unarmed?

An umbrella? Hmmm, I wonder what the student was thinking for carrying an umbrella...when there was nonstop rain the entire day before. Good grief! /s

I’d like to know who filed the report. Sounds like somebody is pretty jumpy. Wonder if it was one of those scary, looking military style assault umbrellas.

What do you call an “unarmed gunman”?
