From another list: Creating a nation of victims and sheep?

I don’t know if any one here ever read Wm J. Lederer’s book “A Nation
of
Sheep”, but it may be time for a reintroduction. I assure you, this will
produce nausea…

Subject: Creating a nation of victims and sheep?

Folks, below is a post from the High Road forums:

A Graduate Professor at a college was recently sent this list by the
head of college security where he teaches. He wished to remain
anonymous. He states after the VT killings:

“2 minutes ago, I finally received the notice from campus
(in)security regarding what I, as a Graduate Professor, need to do to
be safe.”

He has other not too complimentary things to say about this list of
what he should do to stay safe, and as a shooter and CCW holder, is
disgusted and outraged by it. I suggested he join this list for
suggestions and help on the matter. Here’s what he received:

IF CONFRONTED BY A THREATENING PERSON:
Leave the area and get out of harm’s way.
Call Campus Safety and/or 9-911 immediately.

IF UNABLE TO LEAVE THE AREA:
Try to stay at a safe distance.
Try to calm the threatening individual.
Try to get the attention of a co-worker so they can call Security/9-911.
Listen to the individual and let them do most of the talking.
Use delaying techniques to give the individual the opportunity to calm down.
Acknowledge the person’s feelings.
Be respectful and empowering.
Be reassuring and point out choices.

DON’T:
Upset the individual with communication that generates hostility.
Reject all of the person’s demands from the start.
Use body language or speech that challenges the individual.
Make sudden movements.
Belittle, criticize or agitate the person.
Make false statements or promises.
