Self Defense Tips for Someone who’s hamstrung by Zero-Tolerance?

Hey!

This is going to sound weird but I could use some advice.

I work at a retirement home and we have a new resident who has been making me and some of the other residents/workers uneasy. You know the person you don’t want to sit next to on the subway? He’s that guy.

My bosses are aware of the situation, but they can’t do anything because while the new resident is a creep, he hasn’t done anything against the rules yet.

Making matters worse is that the home has a zero-tolerance policy. So if you get into a fight, you can’t even defend yourself (which is stupid but I don’t make the rules).

My job pays in room and board so I really can’t afford to lose my job. However, I don’t want to get badly injured in case he does decide to attack.

So what is something I can do to protect myself and others without getting into trouble? Scream “fire”? Barricade myself in a room? Stand tall and proud?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
