Amy Bishop – “far left extremist” robbed auto dealership with shotgun and suspect in attempted Harvard Bombing

Over the weekend, I mentioned there was a site called “RatemyProfessors.com” that had a review of Amy Bishop claiming she was a socialist. Of course, any anonymous “rate my” type site isn’t going to prove anything, but it was still interesting. Today in the Boston Herald, while not saying she’s a socialist said this:

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.

off-putting for those of us “un-educated” non-progressives means annoying basically.

But wait! There’s more! According to Gateway Pundit, Bishop robbed an auto dealership with a shotgun after she killed her brother. AND The Boston Globe reports that Bishop was suspect in attempted bombing of Harvard professor Dr. Paul Rosenberg in 1993.

Amy Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, were questioned after a package containing two bombs was sent to the Newton home of Dr. Paul Rosenberg, a professor and doctor at Boston’s Children’s Hospital.

It was the second startling revelation in two days about the past of Bishop, who is accused of fatally shooting three colleagues and wounding three others Friday afternoon at a faculty meeting on the University of Alabama’s Huntsville, Ala. campus.

A Massachusetts police chief revealed Saturday that Bishop had fatally shot her brother in 1986.

Rosenberg was opening mail, which had been set aside by a cat-sitter, when he returned from a Caribbean vacation on Dec. 19, 1993, according to Globe reports at the time.

Opening a long, thin package addressed to “Mr. Paul Rosenberg M.D.,” he saw wires and a cylinder inside. He and his wife ran from the house and called police.

The package contained two 6-inch pipe bombs connected to two nine-volt batteries.

In March 1994, the Globe reported that federal investigators had identified a prime suspect in the case. But the article did not name the suspect.
