This is how far behind I am right now. I am just getting to writing about the shooting at the University of Alabama-Huntsville and gunwoman Amy Bishop.

As I'm sure you know by now Bishop is accused of shooting six of her colleagues and killing three. Those killed were Gopi K. Podila, Adriel Johnson and Maria Ragland Davis.

The motive is speculated to be because Bishop was denied tenure. One moer reason to eliminate tenure but that's a different rant for a different day.

Bishop also killed her own brother when she was 18 from an alleged shot gun accident. Does this sound like an accident to you?

She told police at the time that she had been trying to learn how to use the gun, which her father had bought for protection, when it accidentally discharged. In all, three shots were fired: Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier said she shot once into a wall, then shot her brother, then fired a third time into the ceiling.

I'll admit my knowledge on firearms is somewhat limited but how can a shotgun be accidentally discharged three times?

She was also questioned in a mail bomb incident where a bomb was sent to another professor but she was never charged.

But on to my point. Ever since her name was made public I've been hearing her described as smart but awkward, intelligent but different. That was the same way Hans Resier was described and now we know how much of a murderous scumbag he turned out to be.

Her lawyer has said that an insanity defense is already being planned. Don't be too shocked if Asperger's is trotted out as her 'insanity'. Which again would go towards wrongly branding all Asperger's patients as potential killers.
