| Dr. Amy Bishop, Alleged Assailant in University of Alabama Huntsville Shooting |
| 2010-02-13 |
| Media sources in Huntsville, Alabama report that the faculty shooter who opened fire during a biology dept. meeting today was Dr. Amy Bishop, who had learned she would not receive tenure. Bishop allegedly shot and killed 3 fellow faculty members and wounded as many as 6 others, one critically. Amy Bishop received her Ph.D. in Genetics from Harvard and had previously been an instructor of medicine at the Ivy League university. According to AL.com's “Breaking News' blog, Amy Bishop and her husband, Jim Anderson, were co-inventors of InQ, “a new cell growth incubator which promised to cut the costs, size and maintenance involved in the mechanics of cell generation' An older version of Bishop's UAH Biology Dept. web page listed her interests in the way neurons utilize free radicals, in particular nitrous oxide, and how understanding the process could eventually help treat injuries to the central nervous system. In the past, Bishop had taught a number of courses at UAH in anatomy and physiology as well as an introduction to neuroscience. Professors going nuts and opening fire are the most rare kind of campus shooter. It does happen, though. Most recently: George Zinkhan, a well-regarded marketing professor at the University of Georgia in Athens (UGA), lost his damned mind and opened fire on his estranged wife and two others, killing all 3. Zinkhan was later found dead in a patch of woods outside Athens. He'd meticulously planned his suicide, setting it up so that he virtually buried himself before pulling the trigger. If Dr. Amy Bishop did go nuts and try to kill her colleagues today as alleged, it wouldn't be the first time a former Harvard professor has gone so dramatically, violently bananas, either. |

| #16 Wow. Let me straighten out my tin foil hat. The problem with the connections is that Delahunt has not been raising campaign funds much this term. Why not? Bishop probably hasn't been planning this shooting for months. Brown only won six weeks ago. He can't be upset with Barry, the closest we'll ever come to Oogo. Weird. |

| #15 could be why the speculation is Delahunt all=of-the-sudden won't seek re-election? |

| #14 Apparently, Bishop has been linked to the murder of her brother in 1986 |

| #13 Shipman, from the picture in the referenced article, she looks white. Can't tell if she is a democrat, although if she is a socialist, she probably votes that way, I would guess. |

| #11 That's hot? No wonder the lefties are frustrated. But she wouldn't have lasted a second in a tenure review at CMU. |

| #9 Harvard "TERRORIST" |

| #8 Famous Harvard grad J. Robert Oppenheimer in 1925 gave a poisoned apple to his head tutor Patrick Blackett, while Oppie was in grad school in England. Somehow he was not expelled or criminally charged, just sent to a psychiatrist who diagnosed Oppie as having 'dementia praecox.' This was mentioned in the book Outliers and elsewhere. This stuff has happened before & regrettably will happen again. |

| #6 From Instapundit: UPDATE: From Ratemyprofessors.com: “This class was great. Bishop makes the class interesting by talking about her research and her friends research. That speaker she had for class was hard to understand but smart. She expects alot and you need to come to every class and study. She is hot but she tries to hide it.And she is a socalist but she only talks about it after class.” Reader George Berryman writes: “I’m guessing the ’she’s a socialist’ part won’t get talked about much in the MSM. But if she had been a conservative it’d lead every evening news cast for two months.” |

| #1 If the bitch had an invention, she did not need tenure. But she herself was just too stupid to get off of it. A purely Harvard way to go. Try shooting up a whole country. |
