“snapped upon hearing some bad news”

No, she *premeditatively* took a gun to wipe out some people who were nothing more than pond scum/idiots in her eyes, and expected no eternal consequences to that.

This can not be true , it said she pulled out a gun. This was a “GUN FREE ZONE”.

This will not look good on a resume.

Let's ask someone who has been there.

There is no justice in our legal system that’s for sure. Sad to hear about your son, keep up the good fight!

Also, want to bet she gets the standard female discount when sentenced? Plea out to manslaughter and get 10 yrs probably serve 5 before shes out on the street. Got to hate this system.

It’s okay to kill people in an unjust system.

Bill Ayres taught us that. :D

Every time someone tells me I won’t get tenure, they meet a bad ending.

It’s just a coincidence.

Statistically possible.

Plausible even.

Now she will get tenure in the Big House. I wonder where this elitist Harvard grad academic learned to shoot??

“Doesn’t work like that. Tenure is only offered after you’ve
been on the faculty and have taught for usually three years.”

That’s not the way it works at all. Go back to first grade.

I predict she gets tenure on her next try.

I have heard of tenure all of my life, but I really don’t understand it.

I don't understand it either, but to those who believe in it, it is an entitlement.

Not long now until someone ID’s her.

What do you think - is it, or is it not, this woman? There’s a definite similarity, but I honestly can’t quite tell enough to say for sure.

Those in the private sector don't get tenure.

It's for government employees, where if they are accepted by their other entrenched government employee co-workers, they give them this thing called "tenure"...

Which means they have a job for life in most cases, with lottery style retirement benefits.

She will now qualify for minority hiring status.

“What I said, is that this probably seemed like the end of the line to her when she was turned down and probably saw no other options.”

It is the end. If you don’t get tenure, you are terminated. You typically have one chance to reapply and given 12 months to fix the deficiencies on your CV, but Bishop may have been on her last review. I don’t know.
