Jon Meis, under zero-tolerance rules, will now be expelled from school for possession of pepper spray.
/s
(hope not)
YES!
My daughter shared an Internet thread showing that the Internet has responded and every item on his marriage registry Target and Crate and barrel for him and his fiance has been purchased. Seems he is getting married in two weeks. Reports indicate a crowd sourcing effort is active to fund their honeymoon is well underway.

He will be arrested for not “sheltering in place”.
Colleges now have “hall monitors”???
Based on this event, I guess they are needed.
(1) The assailant was Hispanic
(2) The victims were White religious Christians
SPU is a Christian university. This fine young man is an example of the kind of student they produce.
Now there's a topic that is worth discussing in detail. There are lots of things that one would not normally think of as being defensive measures or highly effective weapons......
They ran with it for a while claiming that all you need for defense is a can of pepper spray against a bad guy with a gun.
Then came the Georgia shootout in which a deputy shot a bad guy with a gun.
Yep.
I would have punched that guy’s time card so many times he’d require facial reconstructive surgery.
Hope he gets life at a minimum or has one last electrifying moment.
3. Have a weapon at your disposal
When I met my wife I had already served in the military and had been a LEO and Corrections Officer. In a discussion of what to do if someone got in the house when I was not there I showed her that every room possessed a variety of effective weapons with which to dispatch some scum bag.
Don’t get me wrong we have weapons but you should always know your surroundings and what might be used if needed.
LOL!
Congratulations, though I’m not sure what this has to with the subject.
The media is now going to argue that you don’t need a gun to defend yourself or stop a mass murderer — all you need is a can of pepper spray.
I sat next to a guy on the subway once who told me how he could kill somebody with a ball point pen if attacked. People here sometimes confuse the gun with the willingness and courage to act quickly and counterattack.
There is no weapon in the world that will help you unless you are swift enough and fearless enough to simply attack your attacker. Attitude is all, and we’ve raised a very disempowered generation...except for people like this guy.
It’s funny but true - that’s one of the things I get a kick out of watching Jason Statham or the Bourne movies - creativity in offensive attacks. Yes, I know they’re just movies but the take-away point I thought was that the quick decisive decision is the major plus in the matter.
I agree. Even something like screaming loudly can help, if for example you’re talking about a little old lady who probably couldn’t resist very effectively. But if she got mad right off, I bet she’d at least disrupt things.
The cops always tell people to go along with it, etc. That might have made sense back in the days when murder was a capital crime and the average petty criminal really wasn’t going to off you. And when the mentally ill were in mental hospitals and out of circulation.
But now citizens have to be much more proactive in their defense, and they don’t have to be armed to do it. Or if they are armed, they have to know that it’s not just symbolic and they may have to use that weapon.
