But don't you find it odd that some individual blew himself up right outside a stadium, and it is not even being questioned by the media?

Since you asked, here goes:

If we can agree that blowing up a bomb in close proximity to one's person is an irrational act, and I think we can, then why would we want to credit an irrational act, as part of a series of rational behaviors?

I don't think it wise to devote any time or effort into understanding the actions of crazy people. They are crazy. That means that they do all sorts of things that have no reason attached to them. People go out of their way to try to decide why someone did something crazy for un-crazy reasons, which is a complete waste of time.

If you want to understand crazy people, you will spend your life in a hopeless mission. Crazy is as crazy does.

Well obviously the act itself is crazy, and I don't give a rat's butt what went through the guy's mind.

I do want to know who he was (I think it's a pretty safe bet that it was a male), because I think that fact alone would indicate which way this story goes.

Someone blowing themselves up at a college game IS news, if not for the simple fact that it just doesn't happen.

I think that obviously the authorities are not going to be releasing a bunch of info, even if they have it, until they have some concrete facts. But usually the reporters are all over the cops and FBI, asking them to draw conclusions.

"If you want to understand crazy people, you will spend your life in a hopeless mission. Crazy is as crazy does."

I don't think it's that difficult. There are millions and millions of people on the face of the earth that will/have/shall/are doing all kinds of crazy things that will accomplish their joint goal of establishing a one-world superstate under Islamic control.

The stadium incident (even with the limited information we have) points to jihad much more than it does a lone, distressed, non-Islamic. Therefore, the comments here that infer that it is a jihad bombing are being made by those folks who are making a logical deduction based on the number of crazies that live in this country, and what their brother and sister crazies are doing all over the world.

If this was a jihad suicide/homicide bombing, it was the first on our soil and an ominous signal. I don't think we want to get used to having to step over body parts on our way to the donut shop as other countries have.

I'm sure the 'government' will do something to prevent that from happening.

And yes, I partially agree. Crazy is as crazy does. And there are a lot of them out there, all with the same goal. It is not hard to understand at all.
