A new video released last month by The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, an arm of the Defense Department, instructs bystanders on how to react in case of violence, rape or harassment. The video offers a number of actions including using humor and dialogue during an attack.
Counter Contempt reported:
The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) is an arm of the Department of Defense created in 1971 (and reorganized in 1979 under President Carter). It’s stated mission is to fight “intolerance.” The DEOMI commandant, a political appointee, answers to Obama’s new Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Jessica L. Wright. Wright, you may recall, recently complained to congress about the “devastating” impact of sequester cuts on the “quality of life” of military personnel.
The latest DEOMI video instructs you to use humor and dialogue during a violent attack.
Here’s a screengrab from the video:
That’s right – Keep the rapist laughing.
That ought to do the trick.
