Huck, you're a Liberal Socialist PC appeaser.

Don't even try to respond to this message, putz.

I'll know you're lying when I see your fingers typing.

Nobody spends alot of time trying to learn little lessons in life from the suicidal/homocidal. (Maybe psycologists, psychiatrists, FBI profilers, etc. are intersted for reason that may heave some benefit.)

The only reason someone (liberal activist, journalist, whatever) comes out in public with a plea that we all listen to the grievance is to promote an agenda. A bullshiite liberal agenda.

You mean the "disturbed student" that had a Pakistani roomate who had no idea what he was up to? That stuff smells, and the roomate had no idea? Pull the other one! The same guy who detonated himself in an unlikely place within sight of an OU game? Yeah, just a disturbed student, uh huh...

no matter what day or time
you go into the store.

You my friend are a racist LOL, how dare you suggest this innocent young man was a member of the religion of peace, what ever gave you that idea, LOL, just an innocent man taking a wiz on a fine Sunday afternoon, adjusting his explosive and bang, ashes to ashes, dust to dust!!!!!! I'm with you, can't wait to see if the MSM even bothers to mention the race of this idiot.

Something I lifted off freedominion.ca

"On Newsnet right now, live coverage. Interviewing eyewitnesses... it appears they couldn't find any English speakers."

What a surprise

Maybe they all spoke French.

I see you're a wee bit skeptical of the offical "story"- just like I am.

My guess is that the guy was checking/turning-on his suicide bomb prior to a blow-up in a crowd, and pressed the wrong switch!

It's likely you're right. I'm just saying that the sentence, "The bomb squad detonated a package," doesn't necessarily mean that the package contained a bomb. It just means that they used a bomb of their own to destroy the package. They have to do that because, if the package DOES contain a bomb, then they don't necessarily know what KIND of explosive it is, so they send a shock wave through it with an explosive of their own.

All I'm getting at is that we don't know yet if there's a second bomb, and it would be pointless to spread rumors and confusion to that effect.

The OU bomber tried to enter the football game and was denied entry when the gate official tried to search his backpack.

He accidentally blew up the device as he was attempting to strap the bomb onto his body outside the stadium.

Fire department spokesman Daryl Fuglerud said the man had burns to his body.

well, that should rule out the "explosives strapped to his body" theory, unless they were M-80's, right?

It not only looks like he got the time wrong, he also miscalculated the amount of explosives required.

Maybe the detonator went off, but failed to trigger the main charge.

The donuts are actually made in a factory in Ontario and frozen. They are then cooked on site. They throw them out every day.

Not much of a bomb. Detonating in a restroom isn’t exactly conducive to mass casualties. Sounds like a suicide, not attempted homicide.

How would it have been handled, do you think, if he would have succeeded in getting the backpack in and he killed a lot of people? Do you think they would have stuck to the "disturbed kid" theory? I have often wondered that..
