    Trump Derangement Syndrome Strikes Again: A College Professor Shot Himself In The Arm

    That's right, in protest of Trump, a professor shot himself in the arm.

    TDS.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome Strikes Again: A College Professor Shot Himself In The Arm In Protest Of The President

    A longtime sociology professor at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) is facing felony charges after shooting himself on Aug. 28, the second day of the school year, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

    The professor, Mark Bird, took his .22 pistol into a restroom on campus. He taped a $100 bill and a note that said ,"For the janitor," onto one of the mirrors.

    Bird stumbled out of the bathroom, bleeding, before he collapsed. Multiple faculty and at least one student witnessed the encounter before a 911 call was made.

    When police arrived at the scene the .22 and a spent shell casing were found on the bathroom floor.

    Witnesses told police they heard a loud noise come from the bathroom but they had no idea Bird was armed or had shot himself, police reports indicate.

    "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," The Review-Journal reported....

    He was probably going for his head and choked at the last second.

    Maybe he'll try again.

    He's disqualified to teach on any campus now. Our youth are safe from his further brainwashing so I see it as a positive.

    A mental disorder is the only explanation for this. TDD or TDS is real.

    I don't know about TDS, but I suspect this guy has some significant mental/emotional problems. How would shooting yourself make the least bit of difference to Trump?

    Which would seem to run counter to his being a longtime sociology prof.

    Sometimes people who are having mental or emotional issues will just focus their angst on a convenient target because they can't actually face what is really bothering them. It's not rational.

    He seemed to have planned and carried it out quite rationally.

    Do you have any evidence for the things you're guessing about him?
