He blamed East Carolina University for costing him his career and destroying his reputation, his previously posted online ramblings show.

The man who fatally shot three people last week at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, had resigned from another school, despite having tenure, after a female student accused him of making a sexual comment about her appearance.

Kristin Marshburn said she was sitting in the front row of Anthony Polito’s business course at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, in 2016 when he walked in and made the remark.

“He said to me that if I wore a shirt that low cut for the rest of the semester, I’d be sure to get an A,” Marshburn, now 28, told NBC News.

    I like how he ordered the topics by craziness…

    Like, perfectly normally up top, got to:

    Famous Puzzles, Oddities & Unsolved Mysteries

    And thought, oh, here’s the weird shit.

    Then saw the next one is

    Powerful Organzations Bent on Global Domination!

    And then (obviously) he launches into ads for auto insurance? Like, not that he has ads on his website, it’s just a list of like 10 different auto insurers?

    Dude definitely lost it at some point, chalk it up to another reason healthcare isnt a private issue. Some therapy and pills and this guy might still be living a normal life as a tenured professor who make a couple inappropriate comments a semester, but at least he’s not a mass shooter.

      He definitely wanted be kill more people. He had a lot of ammunition and a hit list for 2 campuses.

      The lists are very strange, like why take time to put Amazing in a list? My father in law made lists on pads of paper, but it was lists of things he owned or important historical events.

        1. I didn’t even see that lol

        2. Isn’t that somehow more crazy?

        Like, boilerplate conspiracy theories that’s kind of the public zeitgeist isn’t surprising, but then lumping in Bridesmaids is such a mind fuck I almost clicked to read his (obviously flawed) rationale.
