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.

I thought you were supposed to shoot yourself in the foot in these futile protest situations.

I don’t see the problem. It’s flu-shot season.

I am of the opinion that the professor needs a psych eval

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.

One college employee told police that he held Bird’s hand to calm him down as others tried to stop the bleeding. While waiting for authorities to arrive, Bird said he had shot himself in protest of President Donald Trump, police noted in their report. The report did not elaborate.

A .22? Why didn't he just protest Trump a more conventional way -- tromp around the campus dressed up as human genitalia?

After this, a lot of them may be re-thinking what they were ‘learning’.

Doesn’t sound like he would hurt himself if he did that. There is nothing in that skull but hot air.

I’ll bet a million dollars he was going to pretend that he was shot by a Trump supporter. But then found out that you really can’t think much about what to do next after you’ve been shot in the arm so he changed his story.

A very good theory.

After thinking this over, I wonder if that was his story. Perhaps he was intending to shoot the place up and screwed up somehow. Either way, he’s a loon

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.

I’d put money down that some kind of ‘medication’ was somewhere in the mix. University should request a drug test.

Maybe his politics needed a shot in the arm.

He needs to watch his Maxine Waters training video again.
