Ex-prof gets life in prison for meeting rampage
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. A former university professor has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing three of her colleagues and wounding three others during a faculty meeting.
The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes before convicting Amy Bishop on Monday. Amy Bishop, a former professor at the University of Alabama in Hunstville, showed no reaction as the verdict was read.
Circuit Judge Alan Mann then imposed the life sentence. Bishop did not speak in court.
The Harvard-educated biologist avoided a death sentence by pleading guilty earlier this month to the shootings at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
However, she was still required to have a brief trial under Alabama law because she admitted to a capital murder charge.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A police investigator testified Monday during the murder trial of a former university professor that the woman denied having anything to do with the rampage that left three of her colleagues dead and three others wounded.
Investigator Charlie Gray and professor Debra Moriarty were the only witnesses to testify during the brief trial Monday for Amy Bishop. Bishop already has pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty, but state law requires a trial because it was a capital charge.
Gray also said police believe Bishop opened fire during the faculty meeting because she was angry over being denied tenure, which effectively ended her career at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
"She would say, `It didn't happened. I wasn't there. It wasn't me,'" Gray said.
She and Sandra Fluke sort of look alike. At least this "obsessed" Obama supporter won't be available to join up with Fluke and the other ivy league girlies in their fight for free birth control.
This is why libs should not have guns. They are always projecting their emotional reckless use of firearms onto everyone else because they know if they had guns, they’d kill at random.
“She and Sandra Fluke sort of look alike”
yes
“She and Sandra Fluke sort of look alike”

“She and Sandra Fluke sort of look alike”

I cannot fathom why she was denied tenure.
Oops, sorry for the multiple posts.
or a younger Emo Phillips.
And her research was a joke...she kept writing the same paper over and over again. This woman was a fraud aside from being a homicidal maniac.

The Unanswered Questions of this case:
—0f the 12 people in the conference room at the time of the shooting, three are dead, two were seriously injured and might not remember much, which leaves seven witnesses. 0nly one of these, a Professor Moriarity, has been publicly interviewed and has identified Bishop as the shooter. Where are the other interviews of survivors, and why haven’t three of the unharmed witnesses even been identified?
—Why did Amy Bishop repeatedly say “[b]It didn’t happen. There’s no way .... they are still alive[/b]” in the first interviews after her arrest? What did she mean by that?
—In the first hours after the shooting, the local newspapers website posted a photo of another person being led away in handcuffs from the scene. Who was this person, and why do commentators who did see this photo say it looked like a man wearing women’s clothing? Why was he/she carrying ‘shells’ in her/his pockets? Where did they come from? What caliber were they? Did they smell like they has recently been fired? Were all the expended shells from the shooting recovered at the crime scene?
—Is there any of the ubiquitous video evidence that is everywhere nowadays that places her at the scene? None has been released.
==Was Gun Shot Residue evidence found on her hands? Were her fingerprints found on the weapon recovered? Did the recovered weapon smell like it had recently been fired? Can all the slugs and expended shell cases be traced back to the weapon allegedly used?
—What was the motive? They have implied that Amy Bishop was angry over being denied tenure, but officially speaking they did not posit any motive. What did Amy herself have to say?
Well, one witness said she seemed surprised when her gun jammed or ran out of ammo, which gave them the opportunity to rush her and push her out of the room. I think, had she not left any witnesses, she planned to say she missed the meeting, hoping everyone would believe it was another school shooting incident by a student.

Unabomber essay urges attacks on 'techno-industrial system'
July 27, 2002 | By Dan Eggen, Dominic Gates, Washington Post
In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical environmental newsletter, [unabomber Ted] Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless." ..."
The fall 2001 issue of Green Anarchy published a letter from Kaczynski complaining that Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista rebels in Chiapas, Mexico, was insufficiently pure as a revolutionary because he advocates bringing water and electricity to peasants....

From anarchist-org.forum:
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (El Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) is an anarcho communist army that is based in Mexico, mainly the poorest state in Mexico, Chiapas. In 1994, January 1st, they started their revolution and it has been increasingly successful throughout the years. Today, they are attempting non-violent struggles because the people told them too they are truly an army of the people. However, both the people and their army are realizing how unsuccessful that tactic is.
Their ideology, Zapatismo, is a mixture of indigenous teachings, autonomism, anarchism and communism. Although other revolutions are going on in the world (like the Southern African anarcho communist movement), the Zapatista revolution was deemed the first modern revolution of our time and its bringing hope to people not only in Mexico, but around the world.
