She threatened him and his friend with the gun, and was later surrounded by and arrested by the police. Again she was given the pass, and no charges were pressed. How many times do we give women "the pass"? It turns out that the criminal justice system gave this woman the pass again and again. And now three are dead at the University of Alabama, and two more critically wounded and in the hospital. Is this what comes from letting women get away with things, not holding them responsible for their actions, not treating them as adults? This is, after all, what modern feminism is advocating, that women have all the power to do things like this, but none of the responsibilities that go along with being an adult. Note that this story also indicates that the shooting of her brother was probably intentional, because she is, in this story, looking for a get-away car.
From the story:
"Shortly after fatally shooting her brother in 1986, Amy Bishop held two men at gunpoint and demanded a getaway car at an auto repair shop near her family's Braintree home, according to one of the men involved.
Carrying a shotgun by her side, a 21-year-old Bishop walked intently across a car lot into the adjacent storefront, where she began searching for car keys. Coming down from the second floor, she was heading toward the garage when she ran into Tom Pettigrew and a friend, who had spotted her in the parking lot and came to investigate.
Her gun hit me in the chest," Pettigrew, 45, recalled from his Quincy apartment. "I yelled, 'What are you doing?' and she screamed at me to put my hands up. So I put my hands up."
On Friday, Bishop, a biology professor at the University of Alabama, allegedly opened fire at a faculty meeting, killing three colleagues and wounding three others. Investigators soon discovered that Bishop had killed her younger brother in 1986 with a shotgun, a shooting that was ruled accidental."
