Cee U Next Tuesday winner for the week - Amy's got A Gun...

This week's Cee U Next Tuesday award for female excellence in the male-dominated field of douchebaggery is a grim one. Amy Fisher, professor at University of Alabama-Huntsville of microbiology, disgruntled over being denied tenure, came to a staff meeting and shot six people and killed three. Since then, a history of violence that includes the shooting of her brother that was originally judged an accident, but the circumstances do not in any way point to that..

After the 1986 shooting, Amy Bishop told police she thought she had ruined the kitchen, but did not realize she had hit her brother. She said she ran away and thought she dropped the gun, which went off a third time. She did not remember anything else until she was taken to a police station.

But police and witnesses say she fled with the gun to a car dealership, where she pointed it at employees and demanded a getaway car.

Police said it took 11 days before they could interview family members because they were so distraught. When they finally did, authorities decided to let her go, declaring the whole thing an accident.


Who the hell did she and her family know to shove this under the rug? What kind of accidental shooting is followed by carjacking?

Then in 1993, there was a pipebombing attempt on a Harvard Med School Professor that coincidentally was about to give Bishop a negative evaluation. Bishop and her husband were not charged after the investigation, but nobody else was either.

Holy fuck.

Next in 2002 at an IHOP, a friggin IHOP, after being told that the last booster-seat had been given out, went over an assaulted the poor other 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."

For that, she got probation. And anger management classes. How'd that work out?

And now this. What's worse is that her skeeve of a husband has been changing his story about how and when his wife got the gun. At first he denied knowing she even had a gun or where she got it, only then to recall that not only did she "borrow" the gun from someone they knew but he took her to a shooting range in the weeks before the killing. He's like the "balloon boy dad" of disgruntled shootings.

So in this case, James Anderson co-shares the C-U-N-T award, and they can take turns practicing what hopefully they'll experience with years of "prison love" assumedly ahead of them.
