As authorities searched for clues into what could have sent a University of Alabama neurobiology professor on an alleged killing spree, friends and family yesterday described Braintree native Amy Bishop as an awkward introvert on the brink of losing her teaching job.
Bishop’s husband, James Anderson, told the Herald his wife had been fighting the university for over a year about a tenure denial, and several months ago received a final decision. She was upset, but not overly emotional, approaching her appeal “like a game of chess,” he said.
Police in Huntsville, Ala., charged Bishop, 44, with capital murder after she allegedly opened fire on six colleagues at a faculty meeting Friday, killing three. Afterward, she calmly called her husband and asked him to pick her up as if nothing had happened, said police Chief Henry Reyes.
“She was an oddball - just not very sociable,” said Sylvia Fluckiger, a former lab technician who worked with Bishop in 1993.
Bishop acknowledged at the time being questioned in the bombing attempt of a Harvard medical doctor evaluating her on doctorate work, a professor with whom Bishop was known to quarrel, Fluckiger said.
Reyes confirmed he is working with the FBI to learn more about why Bishop was a suspect in the attempted bombing of Dr. Paul Rosenberg, who received a double-pipe bomb in the mail on Dec. 19, 1993. He ran from his Newton home with his wife, escaping without injury. The bomb never exploded.

This needs to be incorporated on the FR homepage!
She got da crazy eyes.
Rate My Professors - AMY BISHOP
Extremely horrible teacher. All she does is read information from the book and never explains anything. Her review is telling you to study everything, and she picks the most insignificant information on tests. You have to teach everything to yourself, but her tests are so insame it’s hard to do well. TAKE ADCOCK
What a waste of a great resource. Dr Bishop is very intelligent but a horrible teacher. No point going to class, she will tell you to read and know the entire book. She does not teach but gives you a list of topics that you have to teach yourself. Unfortunately this class is only offered with one other instructor! Take it with Adcock if you can.
Name That Congressman: AP Coverage of Ala. Prof’s Prior Killing Ignores Rep. Delahunt’s Involvement in Her Release
UPDATE, 6:15 P.M.: An unbylined 11:57 a.m. AP report (i.e., 54 minutes after the time stamp of the original post at BizzyBlog) contains two paragraphs about Delahunt’s involvement. Based on a search on Delahunt’s last name at about 6:15 p.m., this version of AP’s report is either still not at its main site, or has not been indexed by its search engine.
Democratic Congressman Bill Delahunt’s far from minor role in the 1986 release of Amy Bishop, the University of Alabama in Hunstville biology professor implicated in the murder of three colleagues on Friday, has garnered significant press attention in the past 24 hours or so. Some reports have noted Delahunt’s party affiliation; others, mostly but not entirely out of New England, where Delahunt’s party affiliation may be common knowledge, have not.
“Frazier said the teen was arrested after pointing a weapon at a vehicle near the house in an attempt to get the driver to stop, but it drove on.”

Here’s a man who tells a different story:
A former auto-body worker claims Amy Bishop put a gun to his chest and demanded a getaway car just minutes after she shot her brother to death 24 years ago in a controversial case that is now being reviewed...

HA!,No wonder Delahunt is thinking about not running for re-election!
Good, one less “progressive” scum to deal with.
Wadda Mensch.
Why did I just effing know that she was a moon bat. When I saw her pictures I said - she is a lib.
No make up, clipped hair (like Savage says) - weird bowl haircut, empty dead eyes like a crazy person, nasty empty scowl. She looked like someone who would be in Code Pink, Move On or someother insane lib group.
And she killed her brother and maybe tried to blow up a professor?
She blew these people away and said it did not happen. Total denial of reality. These are the types of people who support Obama.
Yup. Her photo says complete certifiable liberal lunatic all over it.
Extremely!
A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting...
It's the hair!!!
LMAO...you’re onto something!
Anyway I’m sure with her locked that is one less poster at Daily Kos
How many of them have the bowl and mullet cut? This could be big.
Man, it’s a scenario almost like that Seattle cop-killer that Huckabee released years ago. In this case, another killing, another release, and long years later a simple decision comes home to roost in spades.
No way. Betty Paige had the brunette with bangs thing goin’ on, was smokin’ hot, and never bothered anyone!
Most murderers would vote Democrat
If you could have surveyed all killers in US prisons in November 2008 you would have found that 80% would vote for Obama (my guess)
Honest gun control is really a problem of controlling guns in the hands of liberals and 0bama voters. They can’t be trusted and wacko Amy Bishop is a fine example
During the middle of her killing spree, was she heard yelling “YES WE CAN!” instead of “Allahu akbar!”?
