Evidence strongly suggests the loon professor intended on killing himself, taping a $100 bill on the school’s bathroom mirror which read, “for the janitor.” Apparently the aftermath of the shooting was to be so gory that he felt bad for the clean-up person. Alas, his firearm ability only managed a shot to his arm.
Before we get to the story I want to say that, sadly, Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, and the afflicted are a real danger. This guy brought an illegal gun into the school. There’s really no telling what he was capable of doing. It is time to take this disease seriously, and the first step is awareness.
At iOTWreport we want to do our part and recognize an organization that is spreading the word about this mental disorder.
I believe it is a national security issue.
Be a good citizen and display the ribbon. Put it on your car. Put it on your mailbox. Wear it on your shirt. Send the ribbon to the people in your life that may be afflicted, signaling to them that you support them and are hoping they get the help they need.
Tell them that you don’t want them to be desperate, in a bathroom with a gun, because they might accidentally shoot a Trump supporter, and that wouldn’t be good.
Go HERE to get your stickers. Keep them in your wallet and hand them to people when they go into their spittle-flecked rants, inanely disparaging the best president this country has seen in decades.

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.
The sociology professor was hired Aug. 26, 1993, and was an emeritus faculty member at the time of the shooting, college spokesman Richard Lake said. Bird was not scheduled to teach any courses during the fall 2018 semester.
Bird was employed with the college as of Tuesday, although Lake said it was not clear what disciplinary actions, if any, would be taken against him.
A 911 call was made after several CSN employees and at least one student saw Bird stumble out of the bathroom, bleeding, before he collapsed, the report said. None of the witnesses — who later told police they only recalled hearing “a loud noise” — initially knew that Bird was armed and had shot himself, according to the report.
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.

He just wanted to artificially inflate the “school shootings” statistic.
But I do agree with his killing himself in principle.
What can I say? This is too too funny! ….Lady in Red
Hope this starts a trend.
Very classy. Tipping the janitor 10 out of 10 for style. I liked how he kept the violence to just himself. I remember a crazed Obama prof stabbing other people.
All in all the world is a better place. One less crazy and no collateral damage and a janitor scored a honeybee. (Little bellman lingo from back in the day)
Probably will keep his job after a personal reflection “hiatus” or whatever they call a 30 day psych evaluation now.
Next time put the end with a hole in it into your mouth numskull.
The putz couldn’t even get that right! Wait until you gather with friends and try a grenade.
Liberal media in 3, 2, 1… #257 school shooting of the year.
Sociology? I am shocked!
Is it wrong to wish this guy was a little more competent in his efforts?
Like most University professors, he’s a mentally deranged putz.
I suppose he thought an arm wound was fatal or was he “shooting” for attention?
In either case, he did a half-assed job — must be tenured.
Any one want to co-found franchise “Kevorkian Clinics for TDS sufferers?” out there?
Low overhead and maybe the tips are worth it.
Another innocent victim of gun violence. Oh, when will it all end…?
He had Firearm Training as an Intern in South Chicongo….
He was aiming at His Nuts.
Darwin Award contender nominates himself.
At least he didn’t blame a Trump supporter in order to “raise awareness.”
@Cato, considering it was a .22 and his arm I’d say he’s an attention whore alright.
One down, how many more to go? Well, it’s a start.
Now all his students will have to do the same to get a passing grade…
The TDS challenge. Let’s get this rolling! LOL!S
Forget the #JustWalkAway, start the #JustBlastAway using the official TDS approved firearm;

Libs shooting themselves? I’m good with that.
Oh shit, get those stickers! Send them out to these poor saps. They need to see how douchey and unhinged they are! It’s a mental/emotional bandaid reminding them to get some damn help.
I know where CSN is. It’s the beginning of a sketchy area. So, totally no surprise to me. They probably won’t fire that guy until after he starts/finishes seeing a psychiatrist. At taxpayer expense, of course.
Idiot.
FTA: Bird was not scheduled to teach any courses during the fall 2018 semester.
Yeah, there might’ve been a reason for that, totally unrelated to TDS.

I don’t see why this trend shouldn’t replace eating Tide pods.
You know I had to call all the way to Crystal City to find the guy who knows about this kind of stuff?
You know how you shoot your arm if you’re aiming for your head?
If you’re in the fetal position.
Here’s a thought. We could easily weaponize IOTW by placing a mole with in the Libtard structure. And I know just the person. Larry the Lib. A couple day on twitter posing as a Libtard and he could get away with posting the #GSWChallenge. We could have Libs shooting themselves right and left. Or left and left as the case maybe.
This attention whore had no intention of killing himself.
He was trying to sponsor a gigantic pity party, but no one else showed up!
Reminds me of this:

Welp, this just proves we need more gun laws. Or something…
Contagious?
More range time?
He did not bring an illegal gun into the school, he illegally brought a gun into the school.
He was aiming for the brain and missed. Probably not too surprising, actually.
If he was gonna kill himself, he’d have done it.
Trying to kill himself with a .22? Perhaps him and his wife should see other men.
Actually, he was “wearing his heart on his sleeve” and he aimed for that.
He didn’t realize; that saying was just a metaphor .
