University of Alabama Huntsville Professor Amy Bishop who killed 3 at faculty meeting after being denied tenure is also a socialist and killed her own brother in 1986

Yet another example of the wonderful leftists in the higher education system. It seems that Amy Bishop who killed 3 faculty members at the University of Alabama Huntsville was not only a socialist, but also killed her own brother 24 years ago! A site called RateMyProfessors.com has reviews of this nut job by her previous students. Some reviews of Bishop were positive, a lot of reviews were negative. But there is one review from May of 2009 that really caught my eye:

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 socialist but she only talks about it after class.

This was one of the more positive reviews for Bishop. Notice the socialist part? You can take the entry about her being a socialist however you want to. If you choose to believe it based the student’s review that’s fine, or if you feel like you’d like more credible confirmations and news sources that prove it, that’s cool too. FWIW, the same review also claimed she was “hot”, so umm. But that’s not even the tip of the iceberg for this left wing nut. According to ABC, Amy Bishop also shot her younger brother dead at their home in the Boston suburbs more than 20 years ago, but records of it are missing, police said Saturday.

Before Bishop could be booked, however, the police chief back then called officers and told them to release her to her mother, Frazier said. The shooting of the brother, Seth Bishop, an 18-year-old accomplished violinist, was logged as an accident, but detailed records of the shooting have disappeared, he said.

“The report’s gone, removed from the files,” he said.

He said people who worked for the police department then remember the shooting and he planned to meet with the district attorney over the possibility of launching a criminal investigation into the report’s disappearance.

The former police chief, John Polio, said Saturday in an interview at his home that he was astonished at any allegation of a coverup. He said he didn’t call officers to tell them to release Bishop.

“There’s no coverup, no missing records,” he proclaimed.

A University of Alabama at Huntsville spokesman said Bishop, 42, had been denied tenure before she was held Friday in the campus shooting.

As Bishop was being taken to jail in handcuffs she said: “It didn’t happen. There’s no way.”

Attempts by The Associated Press to track down addresses and phone numbers for Bishop’s family in the Braintree area weren’t immediately successful Saturday. The current police chief said he believed her family had moved away.

Amy Bishop shot her teenage brother in the chest in 1986, Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier said at a news conference. She fired at least three shots, hitting her brother once and hitting her bedroom wall, before police took her into custody at gunpoint, he said.

    I’m going to write the same thing here that I did over at Hoft’s site, and that is that there has been no verification whatsoever that this woman was a socialist. All we have is some college kid’s posting at the ratemyprofessor site, hardly an unimpeachable source.

    We give the left hell all the time about running with unsubstantiated allegations against conservatives; we can’t expect to maintain credibility if we then turn around and do it too.
