I agree with your ...Hi Eurasian Sensation and Moi,<br /><br />I agree with your speculation Eurasian Sensation, that perhaps the POC in the room were targeted, either subliminally or not so subliminally. The NY Times article suggests that she had intended to shoot/kill ALL of her colleagues, so in that way, I don't believe she was specifically targeting only the POC. However, did she intentionally start with them? If she was shooting people sitting nearest her, were the POC all grouped together allowing her easier access/targets? So hard to know and since it's a criminal investigation, details are going to be slow in trickling out.<br /><br />Moi,<br />More than likely, she wouldn't have seen much if any jail time, even if it had gone to trial. Given the fact that her mother was on the city board (which, lets face it, was probably the reason the file conveniently disappeared) means that if she had been charged and if it had gone to trial, they could have done a lot of things to prevent her from seeing jail time, like pleading temporary insanity or involuntary manslaughter.<br /><br />The fact that she seems to have evaded criminal scrutiny seems to beg the question about WHY she was given so many passes?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261371053113519712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658138279766595241.post-1568860355304218662010-02-17T20:31:17.009-05:002010-02-17T20:31:17.009-05:00I maintain that if her ass had been thrown in jail...I maintain that if her ass had been thrown in jail when she capped her own brother decades ago, none of these people would be dead right now.<br /><br />People need to start asking more questions as to why she'd been walking free this whole time and why her history of violence ('cause she assaulted folks before and all) went ignored 'til now.Alliyah Gallowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043902720307040762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658138279766595241.post-77410864453940774232010-02-16T17:39:45.051-05:002010-02-16T17:39:45.051-05:00Interesting.

I think this kind of phenomenon happens quite commonly; an attack that is not racially motivated, yet racial prejudice has a powerful influence on how it goes down.<br /><br />Just speculating, but perhaps she saw the POCs as somehow being affirmative action hirings, who had denied Bishop her "rightful" place?Eurasian Sensationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486297795353354329noreply@blogger.com
