Okay, all you right-wing extremists, just cut it out. The Professor says you're overreacting. Wait until he tells you what to think.
pinging you to the latest Tulsa World attempt to quiet any thinking that's out of line with their wishes.
And all along I thought FR stood for Free Republic instead of Far Right. Silly me. ;-)
>Joel Hinrichs Jr. told the Tulsa World that he knew his son was troubled, but he had no idea he wanted to die.
>"I would have been there within whatever the speed limit would allow me to be if I had any inclination that he was this unhappy," the father said...
You have got to be f'ing KIDDING me. If the father knew his son was suicidal, he would drive within the speed limit to get to him?
Well, I guess I know one reason why the kid was suicidal... Dad's kind of a loser.
Its these darn facts that keep getting in the way...
What would the Professor think if the bomber had blown up near an abortion clinic and his roommate was KKK?
A guy named Hinrichs wrote this article
This has never been proved to be false, and that makes me question anything else this person says.
"While Hinrichs' individual actions are still being probed, the Islamic community of Norman is on edge, fearful that this troubling event is somehow linked to Muslims."
Now why would the Islamic community of Norman be fearful that this troubling event is somehow linked to muslims?
Interesting statement.
If the good professor was either a Cold War hawk, or if he has given an apology for not believing us 'far-right extremists' during the Cold War when we were right about everything we said was a Soviet plot--the nuclear freeze movement, Finnish neutrality, the anti-Vietnam war movement's core,. . .--and about where there were Communist cells and agents--Alger Hiss, Hollywood (Bertold Brecht was the head of the cell there), . . . (except for water flouridation--but I never bought into that one anyway), and admitted that the left was wrong on every point, maybe I'll listen to him. Otherwise he can stuff it.
"If the explosion had occurred inside the stadium, it could have killed fans, prompting the question of whether that was Hinrichs' intent all along."
Gee, ya think? Give that man a cookie.
Yeah... that damn, unfortunate logic will rear up its ugly head on the most innocent of actions!
Sloan evidently isn't even a current University of Oklahoma professor, so he can't have been tapped as an official spokesman for the University. He does not appear to be a local Muslim leader (they found someone else to play that role), so it couldn't be that angle. Was it a random pick? Doubtful. So it has the strong appearance that he was chosen in order to give the article the political spin that was desired, either by the "reporter" or by an editor...
But wait, there's more. There is a Dr. Stephen Sloan who is or was professor of political science at the University of Oklahoma, who appears to have a strong background in simulating terrorist incidents in order to help public and private organizations to, I don't know, maybe come up with strategies for dealing with terrorist incidents? Or maybe counseling clients in how to downplay the possibility of terrorism when an act such as this one occurs? While I can't be certain that this is the same guy, it is plausible: See this bio for more.
If the little twit had gotten into the stadium and blew away a few OU students, what would his spin be? "Oh, we were never able to connect the dots.." Works both ways I guess.
Can anybody dig up and post a photo of our disturbed suicidal individual? I recall he looked a little bit.. well, Muslim, what with the Taliban-style beard and all.
It's also interesting to note that the article doesn't mention the fact that the Mosque in Norman was the one attended by Zacarias Moussawi.
Our own Liberty Rocks has a succinct executive summary right here:
Not everyone agrees with that statement.
FYI
hmmmmm.....odd that the article didn't mention all the explosives removed from the depressed students apt. Did they belong to the roomie? I know I'm just being a hysterical right wing nutcase, but why were explosives in that apt?
