Inquest looks into 1986 death of professor's brother

(CNN) -- It's no secret in Braintree, Massachusetts, that Amy Bishop killed her younger brother with a single shotgun blast to the chest in her parents' kitchen more than 20 years ago.

And so, when Bishop allegedly shot six of her colleagues, killing three, at the University of Alabama at Hunstville in February, new questions surfaced about her brother's shooting death.

Questions like WTF? Questions like, how did this psychotic bitch not wind up in jail YEARS before taking the lives of three of her co-workers? How did she avoid the same scrutiny anyone else would face if their carelessness caused someone else to lose their life - especially if the events up to and surrounding the "accident" do not paint the same picture as told; that is, it sure didn't seem like the gun "just went off" the other two times she fired it that day, or that she pointed it at a salesman at a car dealer looking for a getaway car.

Questions like how did she escape closer evaluation after making threats towards her advisor at Harvard when a suspicious package arrived with his name on it? How on earth did she manage to avoid jail - or any other punishment for that matter other than probation- for assault and battery in 2002 - some 16 years after murdering her brother and nearly a decade after trying to kill her advisor? What the hell is it about Amy Bishop that allowed her to skate through life avoiding the consequences of her actions? At least, the consequences of her actions while a resident of the wonderful Volksrepublik of MA.

Why, it's almost like they take care of their own liberal elite in MA, don't they?

That is all.
