So interesting announcement at work today...they're offering "active assailant training" to prepare us for an intruder at work type of situation. Without doxxing myself, I've worked for this company for quite some time and we've never had such an offering before. This is no small company (American, but global).
They cite that cases are rising, and that 80% of these situations unfold at work. The announcement also states that people are stressed with the current situation (working from home, adapting to life changes from COVID) essentially implying that one of our co-workers could go off the deep end and come in guns-a-blazing.
My theory: it all seems to me that they're building a narrative for some sort of false flag mass shooting to happen that'll be blamed on a crazy Trump supporter who couldn't take COVID/Biden or something along those lines.
Eyes peeled!
That's your cue to be armed at work in order to protect yourself or others.
People still die in FFs.
You got a heads up. Prepare yourself and others.
FF of some unvaxxed person who's been fired, taking revenge on the company. Blaming it on unvaxxed, unhinged Trump supporters. Then give the order to round up all those antivax, right wing domestic terrorists. FEMA camps are standing by.
What sector is this company? And do they government contracts?
Just curious.. if you don’t want to share I understand.
We do government contracts, yes...I'll leave it at that.
Did they put out a vax mandate?
I could see companies recognizing this as an action that may draw kinetic repercussions.
No and I don’t think they will for a variety of reasons. Unions are against them being the big one.
And the irony of it all...no weapons allowed on company property with few exceptions (none of which 99% of people would qualify for).
They're electronic trainings to be taken by year's end.
They are literally building the expectation, I am saying they are providing the raw material for IDEATION, the fantasy desire to carry such things out. They WANT this to happen so bad - but they want a genuine case, and they might just get it. What they are doing is effective. The whole matrix is BEGGING for people to go nuts, and they are too. They are just waiting for the right person, with the right profile, and it will become a media spectacular.
You're not going to learn squat by taking a course online. You only learn stuff like this through drills and practice. It has to be muscle memory and instinctive when the time comes to use it, not to mention it needs to be a team effort, which you won't get by doing it online. Sounds to me like someone needs to check off a box somewhere.
Exactly.
