Warning: Lots of F-bombs in the video. Just in case you haven’t yet had the dubious pleasure of viewing it, here is the video taken in a Florida Atlantic University class of a student completely losing it, threatening the prof and other students, assaulting a fellow student, and more: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ4sezItRsw) It seems clear that she was irrational, leading me to wonder why the prof didn’t immediately dismiss all the other students as soon as the nonsensical tirade began and then call security to the classroom. That’s what I would have done. His answers couldn’t satisfy her since her question made no sense to begin with. ---

Well, that certainly was interesting. She seemed upset about something. The teacher let that go on way too long. I agree that once death threats were being made he should have cleared the classroom and called security. He is just standing in front of the class while all this goes on. Even students are asking if the police have been called. She could have whipped out a gun and started shooting. Once she starts threatening to kill people there should have been a swift response and her removal. This was poorly handled and could have been a real significant incident. ---

Agree with Dallas. I can understand that the prof was probably hoping she’d cool off or at least leave the class on her own. But I don’t know what he was thinking trying to continue with the lesson while she was still screaming, that was just pointless. I can see him not wanting to clear the classroom and lose a day of teaching, but as soon as the death threats started (especially with so many cell phones out and taping this) that was really the only option…clear the class and turn the situation over to the campus cops. Having said that, there are certainly enough students in there with cell phones, I wonder if one of them called. ---

Comment below the video: > [@YouTube](#): > > “Lunatic in my evolution class asking the most absurd question and gets angry when the Prof (Dr. Kajiura) doesn’t know how to answer it. Context: The slide we were on just before was about Female Sexual Selection. For instance, female peacocks have selection in their mates, preferring the males with the bigger train of feathers.. Somehow she went off on some tangent with a question about how does Evolution play a role in the killing of all black people… Dr. Kajiura tried to answer her question even though he had no idea what she was talking about. She repeated her question 4-5 more times and it turned into this craziness you see here… Clearly, this person has some SERIOUS emotional issues within herself and the discussion of PEACOCKS was the catalyst to the unleashing of this insanity. She was escorted out of class and I heard she was tasered and arrested by the police. Today was our review day before a test on Thursday and students were getting irritated by her wasting our time. No one understood what her point was… Craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Apparently natural selection doesn’t remove crazy from the population.” ---

Sounds like that outburst was some kind of paranoid psychotic episode. Maybe caused by drugs, or maybe the emergence of a disorder like schizophrenia (which often does start to crop up in early adulthood). I agree that the professor should have called security and told everyone to leave. That could have definitely turned into a horrible tragedy if the girl had had a gun or some other weapon. ---

[what the professor said] “So, evolution demonstrates the male peacock fowl – bigger, using rich colors opposed to the brown peahen mates, attracts more females, strengthening the traits through natural selection…” [what she heard] “…So, evolution demonstrates the male’s pea-cock—foul nigga! You bitch colored! Oppose the brown, heathen, hate-attacks from females, strengthening the trends of national socialism…” See? It was a simple misunderstanding. When you go to college, you take a course in evolution. When you take a course in evolution, you bring your smartphone. When you bring your smartphone, you get tweets. When you get tweets, you tweet back. When you tweet back, you don’t pay attention in evolution class. When you don’t pay attention in evolution class, you lose your shit and _twitch_. When you lose your shit and _twitch_, you get tased. Don’t get tased, pay attention in evolution class. ---
