    Report: Las Vegas professor shot himself in arm to protest Trump

    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, 69, 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.

    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.

    Just mocking liberal forms of protest.

    Great ways to bring people to your point-of-view:

    1) Block traffic during rush hour
    2) Burn down your own city
    3) Wear a dumb, classless hat shaped like a pussy on your head while claiming no one treats women with respect
    4) Shoot yourself in the arm

    That is the point, they want the government to control them because they don't control themselves and because they assume everyone is like them they want the government to control everyone else.

    Bird, who has since been banned from the campus, 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.”

    and I suppose in some twisted logic that then makes them appear normal.

    We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!

    They certainly believe themselves to be "normal", apparently they believe government workers are "abnormal" and not only able to control themselves and others while "normal" people can't even control themselves.
