Linfield College Becomes Haven To Criminals and Psychopaths. |
In
a move that can only be described as deranged Linfield
College has instituted a policy that "prohibits
weapons on college property, in any vehicle on college property,
or at any college-sponsored event on or off campus."
In a statement that could have been lifted from "1984"
(Freedom Is Slavery, War Is Peace) Linfield College's
Director of "Campus Safety" Mike
Dressel said the new policy was "needed
because of the violence that has flared on other U.S. campuses."
That this kind of Orwellian double speak is coming from an "institute
of higher learning" should make students,potential students
and parents shudder.
As a result of the violent acts of criminals and the mentally
ill, Linfield College's response is to institute a policy that
has gotten students and staff killed and wounded across the
country.
Not only does it guarantee that its students cannot defend themselves
(even off campus) but then the college announces that insane
policy to the world.
Colleges across the country are seeing an organized
movement to eliminate these kinds of deadly policies, but
in the face of the horrific crimes at other schools, Linfield
now announces that its students are bait.
Linfield College is private, and as such can make whatever rules
it wants. Students and parents can, of course, choose other
places to spend their money.
"Rarely
do we catch intruders, but we need to keep out those that we
don't know," Dressel said. "And it"s hard to
keep Linfield an open and friendly place the whole time without
risking security."
After the last incident in Larsell, students feel less safe.
"The doors being propped open at that hour make me nervous,"
sophomore Angelica Neidiger said. "I live on the first
floor ,and I would be very vulnerable if anyone did break in
with bad intentions."
Well, with Linfield's new policy you can just beg for mercy.

You can see a message from Linfield's President
here. The message includes this ironic note:
"Linfield emphasizes lifelong learning, embraces diverse
cultures and international study, and recognizes moral principle
and the freedom of conscience."
Unless of course your conscience advises you to refuse
to be victimized.
