Why universities and not, um, everyone?

besides, it isn’t the profs shooting up unis— it’s students.
Amy Bishop is a psycho who had problems since she was 20, it appears. When she killed her brother.
No one could have kept Bishop from killing work colleagues. This is a workplace shooting like any other, and the only reason the wingnut blogs are having ragegasms over it is because they hope it’s a proof of a ‘lefty extremist’ killing people for political reasons.
Not so.

You know what happens once you start mentioning psycho regarding a criminal. All kinds of irrational outrage follows. Which is not to say these people should be punished but I just find it part of a pattern of neglect in society. Or that is blatant disregard for other people even if it means preventing the occasional psycho-path from killing others. We have this Old West mentality that never seems to have gone away and might even be making a comeback.
