For those of you who have not heard yet, Bishop also killed her brother in 1986.

I suspect that the University will soon be clamping down on people speaking out about what Amy Bishop was like so I think this is going to be an important article.

Sounds like a certain former college instructor from Chicago. Wonder how he’ll take his pink slip?

Hopefully better than she did.

I heard through the grapevine that someone who was involved in the cover up of her brother’s killing is now in the House of Reps.

The psych prof said, My thinking was some student went crackers

So, now "crackers" is what, a clinical term?

That was an unusually choice of words.

Whoever let her walk the first time bears a lot of guilt for this. She has probably been an unstable time bomb for the last 20 years. It takes a special kind of nut just to walk up and shoot someone who does not threaten them physically.

We have our chance to put him on notice that he probably won't receive tenure, coming this November.

Cheers!

There’s a great movie about college tenure called Oleanna with William Macy.

Lotta talking but good on academic politics and arrogance.

She’ll have a blast in prison. I suppose she wasn’t smart enough to think ahead.

I am at a smaller university and we sometimes we get applications from individuals from Harvard, Yale etc... Some are really good but some come across as very arrogant. We avoid messes by simply not hiring them in the first place.

Boston Globe reported Saturday Delahunt said on Friday he might retire. That was the day of the shooting. New York Times reported yesterday, Saturday, that Delahunt is in Israel and could not be reached for comment. Wonder what the time line was? Did Delahunt hear about the shootings, call the Globe and then fly off to Israel? Did he call the Globe from Israel? I can't believe the Times is unable to reach him if he wants to be reached.

For those who haven't followed it, the background to this is Amy Bishop, firing three shoots, killed her brother in 1986:

Braintree officers who remember the 1986 shooting said that former police Chief John Polio dismissed detectives from the case and ordered the department to release Amy Bishop after a telephone conversation with former district attorney William Delahunt, who is currently a U.S. congressman from Massachusetts.

"The police officers here were very upset about that," said Frazier, who was a patrolman at the time and spoke to officers who remembered the incident that day, including one who filed a report on it.

“Arrogant, aloof and superior” are wonderful traits to have in prison. Why, the other inmates will just adore that! ;-)

Delahunt’s involvement when he was DA, and an interview with former Police Chief Polio, who’s now 87.

Amy Bishop’s mother served on the Town of Braintree’s Board of Personnel.

Her father is a multi-millionaire & has a yacht club.

I just have to question this whole “brilliant researcher” thing. Clearly it was a facade, notwithstanding the given testimony. I think it’s the way things are these days.

Psychology professor Eric Seemann also said he knew biological sciences assistant professor Amy Bishop was stressed about an adverse tenure decision, but he was shocked at how she dealt with her frustration.

The psychology professor said his counseling and forensics practices have exposed him to plenty of people with inclinations toward violence, but he saw no such signs in Bishop.

“Nowhere in any of my discussions with her did I get the idea that she was violent or that she had this inclination to bring a pistol to a meeting,” Seemann said.

He was "shocked at how she dealt with her frustration"?! What a perverse trivialization of the psychological mechanisms of a murderer! By his own repeated admissions, psychprof Seemann is utterly incompetent and clueless here. So why is he being interviewed? Because we're supposed to believe that rather than incompetent, he's actually an expert, and that if he couldn't see this coming no one could - which leads us to the inevitable MSM conclusion of - anyone, anywhere could go postal at any time, and no one could see it coming.

And just to rub this conclusion in, this idiot actually said he never thought she'd have an "inclination to bring a pistol to a meeting." Why say it like this? Because you're supposed to think, oh, if she just didn't have that evil gun available, none of this would happen (rather than seeing that she obviously brought the gun specifically to commit murder).

I knew the Leftist MSM would go into hyperdimensional spin mode over this one - they've spent the last 20 years turning women into monsters for Hillary, and now these arrogant, sadistic creatures are starting to lose it because their queen got kicked to the side of the road.

I can agree with that.
