Campus police stood watch during Wednesday’s mission on The Quad after UnDeadline reported immune humans were planning to attack zombies with water balloons.
Upon hearing law enforcement had been contacted, Brian Isom withdrew his previous statement that an attack was planned.
"I was just kidding," Isom said.
Isom had earlier claimed
to have not only picked a time and location for his attack, but also was at
work constructing balloon launchers.
Some questioned the motives of police in thwarting Isom’s plan.
"They're just making excuses to defend zombies," said Kolya Bondarenko, a fellow human. "They’re zombie lovers."
The officer on site said he was doing his job to keep people safe.
"We would have pressed charges if they had thrown water balloons," said Sgt. Joe Huish, while overlooking the battle. "There's a city ordinance against water balloons being thrown at unwilling persons."
The bowel-spilling,
brain-eating battle that played out before him, though, appeared not to arouse
any concern for Huish.
Some wanted to see an attack by immune humans.
"I hope they still do it," said Mason Kafi, a fellow noncombatant. "That would be really funny."
Bondarenko agreed.
"It was a hot day,” Bondarenko said. “Why not have a water balloon fight?"
UnDeadline reporters Stefani Lewis, Cory Checketts, Kori Slager, Heidi Smith and Aimee Cobabe contributed to this report.
