Police at a public university locked down the campus for three-hours on Tuesday after school administrators misidentified a student’s umbrella as a rifle.
“I had a bunch of automatic weapons pointed at me,” North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (A&T) economics professor Jeffrey Edwards, told The Winston-Salem Journal following the lockdown on Tuesday.

"Campus police lockdown university for 3-hours after administrators mistake umbrella for rifle": A metaphor for 21st century US "higher" education.
These are the people who are "educating" America's children.
Weep for America!

Wouldn’t you expect that on a campus like NC A&T they would KNOW what a gun looks like?

Last week the Unv. of Rhode Island got locked down because some next door kids were playing with a nerf pistol. Liberal insanity at it’s finest.
To: Islander7
If someone aims a gun at me for carrying an umbrella, the lawsuits begin the next day.
To: Islander7
Who gives them the authority to lockdown anything? How can they hold adults...on a college campus against their will?
We are becoming waaayyy too accepting of this arbitrary behavior.

No one had the common sense to go check it out! Too afraid to pick it up or hold it! I cannot for one believe that the percentage of idiots in this country is as high as it seems.
Would someone please stop The insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umbrellas do not have a hollow bore! Guns do not have a u shaped handle!!!!!!!! Play pistols have an orange tip!
Water is wet! Air is what you breathe! That is sh*t and that’s Shineola!!

Microsoft today was awarded a $100 Million dollar Contract from the Dept. of Homeland Security for implementation of its revolutionary UPYOURS [Umbrella Pattern-Yielding Observational Ultra Recognition System] at all major universities and colleges to identify and prevent campus attacks by umbrella-wielding terorists.

Campus police identified the weapon as an AK-47 and will be adding its image to their existing identification guide:
