Reporting from Roseburg, Oregon
In
the wake of Umpqua Community College shooting, Oath Keepers to form
college student groups on college campuses across the U.S. (starting
here in Oregon) to teach the students to fight back. As part of its new
S.T.O.P (Students Taking Over Protection) program, Oath Keepers
military, police, and first-responder instructors will teach the
students to fight back with empty hands, improvised weapons, knives, and
firearms, and will teach them effective combat mindset and awareness
techniques and strategies so the students can be their own
"first-responders" and take out an active shooter.
Just
as post 9-11, where people no longer submit and cooperate in their own
murders on planes, the obvious answer to school shootings on college and
high school campuses is that the students must stop submitting and
cooperating in their own murders. They must fight back, and we will
show them how.
Like millions of other young Americans, these college students have been
conditioned since grade school to be passive, submissive and
"non-violent" - taught that violence is "never the answer" despite
reality showing that sometimes violence is the ONLY answer. So it
should be no surprise that the students at Umpqua Community College
(with the notable exception of Army veteran Chris Mintz) were passive,
submissive, and obeyed the commands of the shooter. They allowed
themselves to be herded into a corner and then complied with his
commands to lay down on the floor and obediently remained on the floor
until ordered one at a time to stand up where they were asked by the
shooter if they were religious or not. If they answered "no" they were
shot in the arm or the leg, If they answered "yes" they were shot in the
head. The shooter did this one at a time, one after another, with the
students obediently laying on the floor until it was their turn to
stand and be shot. The conditioning was so severe that even when it was
made clear that they were all to be shot, they still remained on the
floor.
What they should have done
was to instantly rush, tackle, and subdue the attacker. Even without
training in hand-to hand-combat or gun disarmament they would have put
an end to the shooting just by attacking the attacker. This is not a
"hardware" problem. It is a "software" problem. It is a problem of
mindset. Young Americans have been conditioned to not to fight back
even when it is the only option that will save lives and end the
violence.
So
Oath Keepers is now going to form Oath Keepers Student groups on every
U.S. college campus, starting right here in Roseburg, Oregon, at Umpqua
Community College, where our local chapter leader, Rob Price, is an
alumni and we also have Oath Keeper members that are now currently
students. We will teach them to fight back with their empty hands, with
improvised weapons, with less than lethal tools such as pepper spray,
com-tech stingers, kubotans, etc. and lethal force tools such as knives
and guns. We will provide a full spectrum of training and leave up to
them which self defense tool they will use. But the most important shift will be in their mindset.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart
Rhodes taught rape prevention and street crime survival for three years
as a volunteer instructor for the Jean Nidetch Womens Center at UNLV,
teaching students to do exactly what we will be teaching them now across
the country, with a focus on combat mindset and need to resist. This
includes awareness and mental conditioning so that they can see an
attack coming and have a plan for response.
Also
assisting in this curriculum will be John Karriman, Oath Keeper Leader
from Missouri, who is a current serving police academy defensive tactics
instructor and Rick Moon, our Arkansas state chapter president who is a
U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran and has also worked for TSA in threat
analysis and identification methodologies. In fact, while working for
TSA, Rick Moon actually identified and stopped an active shooter at a
airport before he could open fire.
John Karriman, in his defensive tactics classes, routinely has the
students undergo a realistic active shooter scenario. One student is
given a semiautomatic Simunition handgun, firing paint marker rounds,
and plays the role of an active shooter who walks into the room and
opens fire while the 10 - 12 other students react. He teaches the
students to react by instantly attacking the attacker, en-mass, and
taking him down and disarming him. In all of times that he has run this
scenario, no more than two students are shot by the role-playing
attacker before they are able to overpower shooter. Even without
training in disarming techniques, any group of people - even unarmed -
can overpower an armed attacker just by taking decisive action - by
instantly attacking the attacker. This is the most important thing to
teach students. But we will also teach them effective techniques. Each
class will include running through this very scenario with a paintball
gun or Simunitions pain marker gun. And each class will also be taught
the full spectrum of effective tools of defense, and how to use them. n
Once again this is first and
foremost a mental "software" issue, not a "hardware issue." Much as
post 9-11 we no longer just submit to an attacker on an airline, but
instead attack and subdue them, we must also do the same when it comes
to active shooter situations in our schools. We will start in our U.S.
colleges with these student groups and then work backwards through our
high schools (forming Oath Keepers high school student groups) to undo
the conditioning that our kids are being subjected to, which makes them
passive victims in the face of violence.
Remember,
this passive victim conditioning makes them submissive not just to
private violence, abuse, and oppression, but also to government
violence, abuse, and oppression. And we believe this is the
big-picture goal of such social conditioning - a nation of passive,
submissive, and obedient serfs. Those of us who are police, military and
first-responder veterans understand the need for the warrior mindset of
decisive action, and we need to pass it on. It is our duty to teach
our young people to defend themselves and each other. This effective
answer does not rely on politicians, but will be done by the people
themselves, and we will lead the way.

Oath
Keepers National will be publishing a full curriculum and training
videos that our local and state chapters can use to institute this
program on campuses. Please check back to the website for upcoming
details. We will also be setting up a donation fund to help support this
initiative.
