A longtime College of Southern Nevada sociology professor is facing felony gun charges in connection with an on-campus shooting on the second day of classes.

Mark J. Bird was charged last month with discharging a gun within a prohibited structure, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property, court records show. He was found bleeding from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his arm about 8:15 a.m. on Aug. 28 outside a bathroom in the Charleston campus K building.

Probably just got himself tenure.

Inside the bathroom, campus police found a $100 bill taped to a mirror along with a note that said, “For the janitor,” according to Bird’s arrest report. On the floor of the restroom was a black-and-white, .22-caliber pistol and one spent shell casing.

Nuttier than squirrel excrement.

This type of behavior needs to be encouraged. New hashtag:

#ShootYourselfToProtestTrump!

[longfellow]

If he shot himself in the head they wouldn’t have to worry. Look at gabby Giffords.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He should have aimed for his genitals and protested guns and shown his support for transgenders at the same time.

If he was really serious about making a statement, he would have at least used a 9mm.

WASN’T THIS A GUN FREE ZONE...?????

This is what passes for teacher positions in liberal schools these days?

QUICK, someone give him a bottle of aspirin to swallow to ease the pain!

We can all hope he is a good example to other libs to shoot themselves.

I don’t know what the real story is, but I’m sure this is a cover for something.

If it were really a protest, he would have made a big show of it and done it in front of the maximum number of people, maybe during a class or something. The fact that he did it with no one around makes his story dubious.

Arm? Let’s try a little more towards center mass.

If you are going to protest go all out!

Best comment yet.

I really believe President Trump was a shot in the arm for this country but this guy may have taken it a little too far.

ROFLMAO !

[poconopundit]

He was in Vegas. My bet is that he didn’t like his teaching salary, and heard you can make a lot of money in Vegas as a one-armed bandit.

Well done, Dr. Sivana!

What exactly is this nincompoop protesting?

• The Trump-created Economy, booming like never before in US history?
• Jobs at Historic Highs?
• The stratospheric stock market?

Liz, he's a sociology professor — a social justice warrior who bloodied up his white lab coat.

His mission in life is to get the gubmint to social engineer our society by stealing money from We the People to create unsustainable equaaaaality.

Trump is proving America works when you leave the darn thing alone.

Wealth brings with it its own checks and balances. The basis of political economy is non-interference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply.

Do not legislate. Meddle, and you snap the sinews with your sumptuary laws. Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and property, and you need not give alms.

Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue, and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands. In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile, to the industrious, brave, and persevering.

R. W. Emerson, Wealth, from The Conduct of Life (1876)

He's found the solution to all America’s problems. Every Leftist should do this but aim for the head.
