“I said she was crazy multiple times, I stand by that” Absolute legend of a man, and he isn’t wrong, she was beyond crazy, she burned all her bridges, angered everyone, had little empathy for anyone else, just a selfish woman who demanded the world revolve around her with some serious anger issues. I just cannot wrap my head around her constant anger at the world and her refusal to help herself, she continued being a trash bag human being and was somehow shocked nobody liked her and tried shooting the one woman who did like her. That and her brothers death is just sad, he sounded like such a promising young man who’s life was stolen by a jealous, hateful woman

I definitely think her mother must have the same mental illness as her daughter. The only comfort I take from this is: Amy will NEVER get to say goodbye to her mother on her deathbed nor will she have ANYONE to mourn for her. She'll die alone and forgotten, exactly what they deserve.

[@SrslyAnnoyed]

Well, she raised Amy. She fostered the kind of atmosphere where someone like Amy could become textbook walking dysfunction. I believe she had severe psychotic and histrionic-narcissistic features to her mental state...and I've found that often times, that comes with being the elder child of a doted-on younger sibling. Instead of coping properly with the reduction in attention that they have once the cute, younger sibling comes along, they become intensely resentful and angry...though still very invested in themselves and self-preservation, so they keep it under the lid until it just pops off ('flips their lid') and expresses itself in craziness directed at everybody within striking range (usually not the subject of their ire unless their self-control has truly snapped, like with Bishop and her brother).

I have two strange connections to this case being a resident of Huntsville. A very close friend and work associate at the time was part of the Biology department studying for his undergrad at the time. The first professor that was killed was a close mentor of my friend. Luckily he wasn’t present the day of the events but still suffered . On the other side of this after she was arrested she was housed in the county jail along with the relative of mine female of course. Who proceeded to give her a valuable lesson in manners when she chose to cut the line in front of her in the cafeteria. The beating with the food tray was severe and made local news.

I have a younger sister who was a jealous, overcompetitive, obsessives nut, and I think my parents were afraid of her. Her sadistic antics made it impossible for me to be around my family when she was present. It all ended when she told me she could use her law school's database to dig up private info about me. I anonymously contacted the school to see if it was true (it wasn't, she had no such access) and then showed her the correspondence. If I'd given them her name, they would've kicked her out of the school. That finally scared her straight. She hasn't said anything outrageous in the years since, but I no longer had any feelings for her.

It is definitely a lesson in parenting. Playing favorites or pitting kids against each other does nothing but create negative sibling relationships. Honesty, there’s a hundred other instruments, they could have asked him to try any of them first. Just being a different string instrument could have been enough a degree of separation to give her some relief as a kid. It doesn’t excuse her actions, but it should serve as a warning of what this type of parenting leads to.

Being the wife a Boston area college professor made Mom even more sensitive about "proper" Social Appearances.

I doubt in this instance that other options for wedding venues would have been a hardship, especially if it is the same church where the funeral was held for your brother you murdered.

She was such a heartless POS she couldn't even feign distaste or discomfort getting married in the same church where her brother's funeral took place.

[@lasskinn474]

maybe it's strange in usa but in some other places it would be strange to not use 'your' church for everything, yeah. even if there were some others available, the church after all would be the constant, from dirt to dirt - and possibly had been there for few hundred years. if you just use the church as a rented venue equivalent to renting a hotel ballroom it's a bit different of course I suppose, but not treating it like that isn't that uncommon even among folk who aren't huge christians and only use the church for baptizing, weddings, funerals, confirmations and such. in smaller places it's not that uncommon to have the funeral reception in the same venue as wedding reception either though simply because it's not like smaller places have an abundance of suitable venues for rent for cheap - might even use the same catering.

After killing her brother, mom and dad never got her psychological help. Everything she did was inevitable. She was programmed since childhood to be a basket case and her brother was of no help either. Deliberately taking up the very same instrument as his sister so he could one up her and mock her because he was better at it. Of all the instruments he could have played….he chooses the one his sister plays because he turned their relationship into a competition and mom and dad allowed this. I would have bought him a piano but the parents thought it would be so cute and entertaining to pit them against each other. Now, one of them is dead and the other one is doing life in prison.

Oh how I love it when you post these episodes overnight. It helps the night owl in me find something extremely interesting to pass the time. Keep posting at this hour.

Very good research. While I had not transferred to UAH at the time of the shooting I was working in the Huntsville Hospital ER as security when the teachers were brought in. That security team works very closely with HPD and because of that we were briefed within about 3 hrs of the shooting about her killing her brother and that her husband was believed to be a potential accomplice. A very sad part is that Prof. Leahy was actually working to help her try to get tenure and she shot him anyway. Prof. Leahy later recovered from his injuries and returned to UAH to teach. He passed away in Oct 2017.

I was so happy to hear that Dr. Deborah M. didn't get killed. This is my first time ever even hearing about this and it sounds so unbelievable...almost like a movie. I can't believe how evil and selfish that woman is! She murdered her own brother and had her wedding at the same church his funeral was held! I believe she probably would've killed her family if they did the wrong thing. A lot of ppl seem to think that if a person is book smart that they're exempt from being illogical and emotionally unstable. I think her husband did know what she was about to do.

[@judywright4241]

I kind of wonder if we can know the deep pain that people we ‘think we know’ but are entirely ignorant of who they truly are. It’s not that difficult to fool most people, who are content to know very little. We may describe them as being ‘standoffish’ when it’s genuinely dark and disturbed but being somewhat NORMAL, we cannot take in, the truly disturbed among us.

This case first came to my attention some years ago, but I can't remember which channel was doing it. It could have been Crime Watch or... something. There's another channel that covered the Amy Bishop case recently that I watched. I agree with everyone when they say that Amy Bishop is a narcissist.

Some people just really have giant sticks up their ass their whole lives. It's hard to believe that people feel so self centered and sickeningly obsessive about themselves. She really reminds me of many of my teachers growing up. Idk why there are so many angry, irritable women in education. I have a lot of respect for teachers in general, and many of my female teachers were great. Others really remind me of this lady. Living life so seriously that you can't even connect with coworkers or anyone cause you have to be better than them, but you're not actually better than them so you become dangerously envious and live your all sour and gray. I'm a miserable dude, single, lost a lot in my life, and experienced a lot of failure and pain. I'm not going to live like some sinister ghost painting, painted in the blood of Satan's finest angels just cause life sucks. Life can suck all the way, without you having some demented inner monologue.

[@GreyDoofus88]

I watched another documentary video about Amy Bishop by KZbinr Danielle Kirsty. According to the source material that Dani read in her video about the case, it was said that Amy would get ticked off about anything and everything. For instance one time (before they moved to Alabama), Amy had actually banned an ice cream van from passing through the neighbourhood where she and her family resided. Simply because her children were (apparently) lactose intolerant. So she complained to the police over the fact that other kids living in the neighbourhood were getting ice cream, when her kids couldn't have ice cream.

[@katehack1677]

😂 What? Wow trying to ban the ice-cream truck cause her kids were lactose intolerant 🤦. That's whole other level of self absorbed self importance, like the high chair incident at the iHop

[@alisakran7063]

Some of these nerd/social outcast types get angry that they receive no attention and popularity from others, but routinely show this type of short-fuse and narcissistic temperament while they're on the lower tier of the social scale as is. Kind of ironic and makes you think about how they'd act if they did receive some type of popularity. That always stands out to me in these shooter/domestic threat types.
