Professor Mark J. Bird at the College of Southern Nevada shot himself in the arm with a .22 pistol in protest of President Donald Trump.
College of Southern Nevada sociology professor Mark J. Bird shot himself on campus last month. The professor was found bleeding on campus from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his arm on Aug. 28. A .22-caliber pistol was found nearby on school property.
A police report details that “Bird said he had shot himself in protest of President Donald Trump” and was staggering around the campus bleeding, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. There was no elaboration in the report.
Bird had been a faculty member at the college since 1993. Bird taped a $100 bill to the mirror prior to shooting himself as a tip to the janitor for cleaning up the mess.
Let us hope that people calm down and get help for themselves before this type of protest becomes common...
