Campus bans guns, tells people to nod at attackers

In lieu of guns, people who find themselves in dangerous situations at or near the University of Arkansas at Little Rock should defend themselves by glancing and nodding, said a university safety expert.
Earlier this year, the Arkansas legislature approved a concealed carry law, but gave school administrators permission to override the law and ban guns on campuses. Most Arkansas universities, including the University of Arkansas and Arkansas State University, opted to prohibit concealed carry, according to The College Fix.
But disarmed faculty and staff members are vulnerable to attack when traveling to and from campus, according to a chain of emails sent between UALR staff members, one of whom was assaulted by three teenagers on his way to class.
“I had not gone very far before I was attacked from behind by two of them and received a number of blows to the back of my head,” wrote the faculty member, a UALR professor of biology, in an e-mail. “Given the proximity to this campus and the fact that a number of our students, faculty and staff walk through this very same area on both a daily and nightly basis I felt it prudent to share this info with you and to advise you to be on your guard while in the vicinity.”
Another faculty remember responded to the email saying that a student had been attacked in the same area.
Sharon Houlette, a detective with the UALR Department of Public Safety, responded to the thread with advice for avoiding being attacked, which included a suggestion to “glance or nod” at possible attackers.
“A glance or a nod will help you show anyone who might think that you are not paying attention, and you are aware of their presence,” she wrote.
At last, this policeman comes up with a real method for warding off attackers in an area where your gun rights are banned.
It's such a pleasure seeing a professional at work!
For the professor hit on the back of the head...he clearly wasn't aware of his surrounding as the officer suggested. A nod or a glance tells the other person you are aware of them...not don't attack me.
secondly, since he was not shot and killed, he may have warted of the attackers with pepper spray or stun gun, or some other method availible to him.
If a firearm is not availible, then other precautions can and should be taken and used.
This is proof that the gene pool has been corrupted. You know what we should do; take all the guns away from law enforcement, and arm them with glances and nods!
