Holy fuck. English is not my native language, but even I know you're wrong about this one.

To assure means stating with confidence, while to ensure means making certain. Unless you're gonna do something about it, there is no way you can "ensure" that he does not want to fuck with Lindsay.

If Lindsay had a personal hit squad, that would ensure that nobody would want to fuck with him, in which case you could assure JTF that Lindsay is not someone to be fucked with.
