ULL professor held after threats
Students report 9-11 remark; building cleared
Acadiana bureau
LAFAYETTE -- A physics professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette made threatening comments related to 9-11 Wednesday that led officials to evacuate a building and call in bomb-sniffing dogs. Student Kacie Spears said Assistant Professor Louis Houston lost control right after class began and was yelling obscenities.
"Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now," so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told a local television station.
Spears said Houston slapped a student and told his class he was God.
A student in Houston's class in Broussard Hall later walked to ULL Police to report what Houston had said during class, ULL spokeswoman Julie Dronet said.
ULL Police interviewed the professor and determined he was displaying "irrational and erratic behavior," Dronet said.
The building was cleared by Wednesday afternoon and Houston was taken to the Lafayette Parish Coroner's Office for evaluation to determine whether he should be involuntarily committed to a mental health facility, Dronet said.
We're obviously not doing enough to fight the War On Drugs.
"Coroner's Office"
Well they deal with the dead so this guy must be a democrat voter.
This man sounds like he got off his medication. And I don't mean that disrespecfully. It happens. Could be bipolar and be having a manic episode. Very sad, actually.
sounds like this guy forgot his meds
Hey, you try teaching
physics to today's students
without flipping out . . .
ULL Police interviewed the professor and determined he was displaying "irrational and erratic behavior," Dronet said.
Ahhh... all is normal then.
Another liberal discovers the flip top cap on top of his scalp, must have finally bathed, shampooed and discovered it.
Of course IF HE REALLY WAS God...
You never heard of a crazy cajun?

RESEARCH INTERESTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Houston's technical research interests include signal analysis, particularly the design of noise filters which remove multiple reverberations from seismic data. Other interests include information theory and quantum philosophy.

Quote: "Houston was taken to the Lafayette Parish Coroner's Office"
Must have been exhibiting terminal symptoms.
Isn't it customary to wait till someone dies before getting the Coroner involved???
"The Zombie Professor"
In most parishes (counties in every other state) the coroner examines mentally ill people prior to involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility.
At ULL, on 9-11, when the attacks were announced to students during class, Muslim students jumped up and cheered. Members of the football team immediately pounced on them and proceeded to beat the crap out of the Muslims. The ULL Police were called to the scene. When the police officers arrived and saw what was happening, they were instructed to let the foofball players finish what they were doing.
Well, seems like the guy snapped. It does not have to be drugs, could be a head trauma or something.
You notice the media doesn't tell you whether he is a dem or Republican, which more that likey means he is a Dem.
