Amy Bishop charged with 2002 assault at IHOP [UAH shooter]

In , 2002, Bishop walked into an International House of Pancakes in Peabody with her family, asked for a booster seat for one of her children, and learned the last seat had gone to another mother.

Bishop, according to a police report, strode over to the other woman, demanded the seat and launched into a profanity-laced rant.

When the woman would not give the seat up, Bishop punched her in the head, all the while yelling "I am Dr. Amy Bishop."

Bishop received probation and prosecutors recommended that she be sent to anger management classes, though it is unclear from court documents whether a judge ever sent her there. The woman, identified in court documents as Michelle Gjika, declined to comment, saying only "It's not something I want to relive."

I agree. Our daughter is at UAH, major is biology. She was in class with her teacher Dr. Johnson a couple hours before he was killed. He was a down to earth professor. Not all professors are capable of that recognition. She also had Evil Amy as a teacher a couple of times. Half the biology dept. is gone. She contemplated this and determined to kill these people and leave UAH without an intact biology dept. The tenure had been denied last year. She had hired a lawyer and apparently making progress in that case according to her husband. The husband states he can't understand what the catalyst was on Friday to commit this act.

Much anger directed at her from the students especially those who were in that department. Several students researched with these professors as a prerequisite to finish getting their major in biology which is for all pre med, pre vet, pre dental, and many more. They had a sincere love for biology and a unique friendship with their mentors who are now dead or hurt by this evil lady.

If she was going around punching people in the head I wonder why nobody punched her back. If some kook hit me in the head over a child seat I would have been beating her until the cops handcuffed me. Or Joe would have. He wouldn’t let some kook hit me, woman or not. Right there that scene makes me wonder why she wasn’t put into a mental ward for 72 hrs. Prayers for the children.

[TigersEye]

Not everybody is keen on punching people in public, pandy. Especially women. Also with little kids sitting with you.

[pandoraou812]

I should hope not. But if one is punched you do not sit there & let them attack you. Not in my world. I would be thinking she might hit Sassy..... I am just shocked it took the shootings to bring out the past.

I just had a thought - IF murder charges are brought against Bishop in MA for her brother’s death, would that take priority over the most recent murders? I guess what I’m asking is - could the people in MA be doing her a “favor” by trying to have her moved and tried in MA first instead of Alabama first (since no death penalty in MA)?

how does that work? I know she’d still be tried in Alabama, but I’ve seen some cases with other multi-state killers where the killers are always trying to get extradited back to a state with no death penalty because they have to serve their time their first...

just wondering...

The UA Shooter- Amy Bishop, some eerie twists

[Jimmy Valentine]

"Here she is with her loony husband..."

Note the dead, soulless eyes on both.

[LadyPilgrim]

I can’t imagine what kind of mother she was, but she fooled a lot of people for a long time.
Or maybe they just “let it go”.......

But the violence is what’s scary. Didn’t they notice, that it wasn’t “normal”?
The woman was probably abusive to her husband and kids.
If not physically then verbally. She appears to be a cruel, vindictive, schemer to me.

[LadyPilgrim]

"Like the Ft Hood shooter: the signs were there, but ignored."

Yes, and sadly to their peril.

[bjorn14]

Au contraire, even if she spends her life in prison or is dead she’ll still vote ‘cuz she’s a Dimrat.

[bjorn14]

I hate to say this but there is no death penalty in Massachusetts but there is in Alabama. The current DA said she couldn’t be charged now because none were for murder and the statue of limitations on the manslaughter charge ended in 1992.

[Little Ray]

Okay. Its pretty obvious, Dr. Amy Bishop is a total nutcase and has been so for years. Murdered (I don’t believe it was accident) he brother, then tried to jack a motorcycle, then steal a car, part of a bomb plot, now an attack on someone in the IHOP?
She should have been on meds looooong ago.

[Bodleian_Girl]

I thought the same thing about their eyes. And his looked worse than hers.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Hey, thanks!

How do you accidentally fire a pump action shot gun 3 times on two different floors of your house?

I don't think there is any reasonable or logical answer to that question. Other than to say it's a total lie.

[Zionist Conspirator]

When the woman would not give the seat up, Bishop punched her in the head, all the while yelling "I am Dr. Amy Bishop."

You gotta love them there intellectuals!

Now aren't you all glad this is the class that's governing us and not those awful yokels in the trailer parks? [/deep sarcasm]
