U of Alabama shooting; three dead, professor in custody

[Darth Wong]

Sounds like someone with both violent tendencies (if sparadic), with a very high opinion of herself.

We don't know what the arguement was about, but she decided to turn it into a novel to make herself look good. (Murder)
Negative Peer Review of her work? Pipe Bomb (attempted murder)
Negative Peer Review of her work (denied tenure) - Shooting Rampage (Murder, Attempted Murder).

She has such a high opinion of herself and her own mental abilities, she'll KILL to avenge any offense to them.

Wow. That's beyond insane.

Actually, I think that kind of aggressive violent behaviour is usually a sign of someone having self-esteem issues. A person with a truly high level of confidence in his own abilities is less like to react violently, and more likely to think that he can prove you wrong by excelling somewhere else.
