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.

Given his politics, I don’t find his behavior surprising, really.

[DouglasKC]

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.

Temple next time..?

What happened to a gallon of gasoline and a match to protest something? What an idiot. And to think this jerk was TEACHING!

[boknows]

Too bad it wasn’t in the head

[OKSooner]

One might call this a creative cover story for an ND of a weapon that he happened to be carrying illegally.

[IronJack]

Missed his head, even at that range ...

[truthkeeper]

A real genius.

Ain’t having Academia a bastion of Communism wonderful?

[Republican Wildcat]

This is the kind of literal insanity the Left and their education policies have created.

And this guy has been teaching people in class - apparently for many years. Can you imagine what these people have been “learning”?

[[Las Vegas professor shot himself in arm to protest Trump]]

I’m sorry, i wasn’t paying attention- could you repeat that action please?

[Fungi]

This is one stupid “professor.” He is actually being paid to teach? This is a mental case, not a sane teacher. Liberalism is a mental disease.

Professor! tsk, tsk, tsk...the idea of a “protest” is to do something people CARE ABOUT.

Nobody cares if you’re stupid enough to shoot yourself in the arm - or anywhere else.

The only question is, if you’re THAT stupid, what are you doing teaching at a college?

And, why are you bringing a firearm into a school?

If you were really serious, it should have been your head, not your arm...oh, but then you wouldn’t have had a chance to see who cared, would you?

LOL

[Dogbert41]

Sounds like they kept it hidden from the news or the news seemed to be complicit in keeping it on the down low for a couple of weeks.

Not surprising really.

[Clarancebeaks]

Wouldn’t it be nice if college professors all over the country followed this brave mans example.

[Lazamataz]

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

[Chode]

then why dint he have a crowd watching?

[taxcontrol]

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.

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