Umpqua Community College Uses Unarmed Security Guards
Bretibart ^ | 10/01/2015 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 10/02/2015 10:07:44 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Joe Olson–the former president of Umpqua Community College–says the school only keeps one guard on shift at a time and that guard is unarmed.

Olson left his position in June. He says one of the biggest debates at the school in 2014 was whether or not to hire armed officers.

~snip~

Breitbart News previously reported that the Umpqua campus is a gun free zone. Former U.S. Marshal Art Roderick suggested the gunman chose the campus for that very reason.

~snip~

Roderick’s words are bolstered by the former school president’s admission that “the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn’t armed.”

Barack's mother was white and his father was black, so Obama is black. This guy though, is bi-racial.

We want armed guards to protect our money at banks and in transit (think Brinks), but we don't want the same protection of our children? Bizario world.

End this gun free zone nonsense.

The only way this nonsense is going to end is when maintaining them if more expensive for the organization than not having them.

Here's how this is done.

Everyone shot in this incident should sue the school for failing to protect them under a theory of implied duty to protect due to a conscious decision by the owners to remove the ability of individuals to protect themselves via the victim disarmament policies.

You get a few massive awards under a specific theory like this, and insurance rates will begin to reflect the reality of the inherent dangers of these victim disarmament zones.  When it starts affecting their bottom line, you'll start seeing the policies disappear.

“It’s insane”.

Exactly. It is what is the ultimate goal of Marxism is—make the masses “think” they are insane. They will be so irrational they will not be able to think critically——only be “happy slaves” of the elite. They will be so irrational, they will know Up is Down and Boys are Girls when the Leftists shove Common Core down the throat (literally) of all our children.

Common Core will embed the proper emotions—Good is Evil and Up is Down and “snow is black” and there is no unique identity (Individualism) since everyone is interchangeable (drones)-—exactly what the Wundtians/Fichte (1810) cabal (godless) wanted for the masses——to destroy the Christian (rational) Worldview and supplant it with tribal, dependent, collective “minds”.

YES...I think you are correct....lawsuits for those in charge at schools who disarm legally carrying individuals.

A single unarmed guard? The DH just said, “That’s not a guard; it’s a Walmart greeter.”

Very well stated. Thank you.

I'll be watching to see whether such lawsuits materialize. The deliberate decision not only not to provide reasonable protection at such an obvious target but also to prohibit others from helping is certainly actionable. However, persuading juries may prove to be a high hurdle--which nevertheless ought to be worth an enterprising attorney's effort on a contingency basis.

Wait, the shooter was NOT supposed to have gun on the campus, so he broke a law. He was an OUTLAW.
