Eleven people were stabbed at a Christian homeless shelter in Salem, Oregon. This article breaks down what happened and what church security teams can do to prevent similar attacks.
We're waiting for Raskin and co-conspirators to call for more gun control because of this knife attack. That was his disingenuous response to the Colorado Molotov cocktail attack, so we figured he would likely try the nonsense again.
Over a decade ago, I was at a Christian family camp. I met a new-order Amish building contractor and several of his crew-members. The one young man had been in an accident, and was on crutches. But he gave me a real cause for concern, based on his attitude.
Meanwhile, I spent a lot of time visiting with another worker from that crew. He had been raised Amish also. We were both into knives and hunting, somewhat. Anyway, we talked about issues of defense and security and protection. And we still keep in touch, loosely.
This second guy wrote me a year later, discussing more along this line. Turns out, a few months after we met, the first worker had stabbed their boss, who narrowly survived. It got my friend's undivided attention. Now he carries a pistol and an IFAK, with training to match.
I believe the suspect has some type of mental disorder. I don’t believe this has anything to do with this being a Christian men’s shelter, that because I have see. A lot incidents in shelters in San Francisco. Also since most of these shelters are not profit and survive on donations they who not be able to support security other than the people that work there. It sucks but that is how we treat security for homeless people. I pray that all the injured recover fully
I think this Gospel mission has the "innocent as doves" part down pretty well, so thanks Keith for helping them to be more "wise as serpents."
Along with being wise, I was thinking - surely they don't have pretty girls working at this "men's shelter" do they?
So, out of curiosity, I searched for "Union Gospel Mission" and sure enough, found on their main page a photo of a pretty girl serving a meal to a guy in their "men's shelter." Asking for trouble much?
(I later noticed that this photo and link are for the Seattle branch of the Union Gospel Mission, not the one in Oregon. But the same lesson applies: men only.)
