It takes dedication, staying on the crazy train

Post by bignflnut »

Longtime College of Southern Nevada (CSN) sociology professor is now facing felony gun charges in connection with an on-campus shooting on the second day of class where he actually shot his own arm in protest of President Trump.

SNIP

Bird was found bleeding from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his arm around 8:15 a.m. on August 28th, the second day of classes, right outside a bathroom in the Charleston campus K building.

The professor taped a $100 bill to a mirror in the bathroom, along with a note that read, “For the janitor,” which was quite possibly the only time Bird did any thinking whatsoever during the incident. A black-and-white .22-caliber pistol and one spent shell casing was found on the bathroom floor.

SNIP

Bird was hired August 26th, 1993 and was an emeritus faculty member when he decided to shoot himself in the arm, according to spokesman for CSN, Richard Lake, although Bird was not scheduled to teach any courses in the fall 2018 semester.

As of Tuesday, Bird was still employed with the college and disciplinary actions-if any would be taken against the professor at all-remain unclear.
