January 17, 2013 --
At 10:05 p.m. last evening, Isabella County Central Dispatch received a 911 call from a female that stated she had been kidnapped and had jumped out of a car. When deputies arrived, it was determined that she had been abducted at gunpoint from the CMU campus. The male suspect, who was later identified as a 30 year old Mount Pleasant resident, then drove her to a home on S. Crawford Rd., where he bound her and sexually assaulted her.

He then put her back in the car, retrieved 2 gas cans, got in the car and began driving. While they were driving, the suspect told the victim that he was going to take her life. After hearing that, the victim jumped out of the car and ran to a residence on S. Mission Rd. yelling for help. A resident at the home let her in and immediately locked the door. While she was on the phone with 911, the male suspect ended up pouring gasoline on the house and then lit it on fire. There were 4 individuals in the home at the time.

Rest

As the rest of the CMU presser states, and in detailing coverage, we will not be subject to that violent criminal's recidivism.  Thank Heaven for small favors!  The tragedy remains for all others who are subjected to senseless Progressive Policy creating these vulnerable target rich environments where we are the ones criminalized for Lawful possession of means to defend our life's.

CMU Policy:

No person shall possess, discharge or otherwise use any weapon on any property owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the University. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the individual has a concealed weapon permit or is otherwise authorized by law to possess, discharge or use any such device. Exceptions to this prohibition are listed below.

By stroke of pen, Governor Snyder sealed the limiting fate with owning the above.  We law abiding citizens shall be infringed - by politicians, and the lawless.

My heart goes out to the young lady who was assaulted.  Innocence lost, again.  I personally do not have a daughter, but am completely able to imagine the horror a parent would be going through right now, especially when one knows that there were options available for their little girl to be safe.
