I hope whoever did this was captured on security cameras. One parent on the Miami University Parents FB page said, “this is why the students should be armed.” Before I could respond and tell him what a dumbass he is, he removed it. And I am a gun owner.

Some seem to think it could be related to anti Vivek protests (he has an event at brick today)

Now the cops will review videos around that area and use facial recognition to match up to the students ID

Lol, I get texts like this weekly from UC police.

Edit: I wasn’t trying to poke fun at school shootings. I made my post after it was confirmed that it was fireworks.

Well that makes total sense. Protest at McGuffy for an event at Brick. Idiots.

I feel like it’s more likely it was a dumbass being a dumbass

This is what Miami sent to all the students and parents:
