They padlocked the gates? All of them? That is creepy! And dangerous! What if people had paniced after hearing the bomb go off or after the word spread that it WAS a bomb? Total mass hysteria.
Some kid had a camera on him and took pictures of them padlocking the gates and they wouldn't let him out -- think he belongs to the OU Daily so he ran around to get out a gate before it was padlocked and made it. I am now getting outright disgusted at Boren.
What if there was a panic is right?
Padlocking the gates at a large public function, if done, was an incredibly dumb thing to do.
